Practical Hint to shoppers.

One fine morning, when Franklin
was busy preparing his newspaper
for the press, a lounger stepped into
the store, and spent an hour or more
in looking over the books, and finally
taking one in his hand. asked the
shop boy the price.
"One dollar" was the answer.
"One dollar" said the Iounger,
cant you take less than that?'
mo, indeed, one dollar is the price. "
Another hour had nearly passed
when the lounger said:
as Mr.. Franklin at homer"
"Yes, he Is in the printing Office"
The shop boy Immediately inform
ed Mr.. Franklin that gentlemen was
in the store waiting to see him.
Franklin was soon behind the coun-
ter. when the lounger addressed him
thus: t- ~ - -.
"Mr. franklin, what is the lowest
you can take for that book?'
"One dollar and a quarter" was the
ready answer.
"One dollar and a quarterl Why
your young man asked me only q
dollar"
True" said Mr.. Franklin, "and
could have better afforded to have
taken a dollar then than to have been
taken out Of the Office"
The lounger seemed surprised, and
wishing to end the parley Of his owr
making. said:
Come, Mr.. Franklin. tell me whai
Is the lowest you can take for it?"
"A dollar and half"
"A dollar and a half Why, you
offered 1t yovrself for dollar and q
quarter"
Yes" said Franklin, "and L had
better have taken that price than q
dollar and half now"

To Remove Stains from Vanished
Furniture.-Sprinkle common cook
ing soda over the stain and moisten
with cold water. Then rub with a
soft cloth and in a short time every
trace of the stain will disappear
Wash off the soda and wipe perfectly
dry.
To Make Hens Lay.-One OF the
best things is charcoal. Wood char
coal will not do. Burn ripe corn un-
til charred. and feed it, and you will
find the pale combs will become red
and that busy songs will be heard, az
the average yield Of eggs will be
greatly increased.

John Godfrey SAKE has succumbed to
melancholia, and that he is An affect
ing example OF mental suffering. As
a poet and lecturer Mt. SAKE has
given so much pleasure to so many
that the fact Of his intellectual dis
order will excite much sympathy and
regret. Mr.. SAKE first appeared as a
poet in the old Knickerbocker Maga-
zine, in 1913. His first deep mark
was made in apoem called Progress,
satire, and since then he has be-
come well known as humorous poet,
sketch writer and lecturer. Born In
Franklin county, VT, in 1916, Mr..
SAKE was admitted to the bar in 1913,
in his 9th year. Not long after he
removed to Burlington. VT, and be-
came editor and owner OF the Senti-
mel, which he managed with success
and popularity. Hs was the formal
and fun-loving candidate OF a hope
less minority for Governor for several
years in succession About fifteen
years ago Mr.. SAKE removed to this
State, praciicing law in New York
and residing IN First place, Brooklyn
Eeverses have overtaken the gentle
man OF late years, and painful illness

side; the patient is rarely able 10 lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen
eral arc Costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally 4 considerable loss of men,
Dry. accompanied with a painful sen
sation of having left undonc some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of prickly sensa-
lion Of the skin; his spirits are low
and although he is satisfied that excr
else would be beneficial to him, vel
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few Of them ex
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
nave been extensively deranaed.
