HOW TO PACK A TRUNK.

Mr.. Bowerman and wife left for the coun.
try yesterday. One could tell their trunks
were not over half full, as they were pitched
into the baggage car with crash. They be-
gan packing week ago. When the subject
was broached he said he preferred to pack his
own trunk, and he didn't propose to take a
whole month to it, either. All he intended
to take along was an extra suit, and he could
throw that in most any way Night before
last he began work. 1t struck him that he
had better put in an extra pair of boots as q
foundation and he flung 'em in the corners
with his clean shirts. The shirts didn't seem
to ride very we'll, and he braced them with
two pairs of trousers Then he stuffed his
Sunday coat pockets with collars and cuffs,
and found place for it, used his white vests
for "chinking," and the balance of his cloth
ing just fitted in nicely.
"The man who takes over ten minutes to
pack his trunk is dolt!' said Mr.. Bower
man, and he slammed down the lid and turn
ed the key.
Mrs. Bowerman had been at it just seven
days and seven nights, and when the husband
went up stairs at 10 o'clock she sat down be-
fore the open trunk with tears in her eyes.
"You see how it is" she explained, as
he looked down in awful contempt. GIVE
got only part of my dresses in here, saying
nothing of thousand other things, and even
now the lid won't shut down. I've got such
headache must lop down for few min
utes"
She went away to lop, and Mr.. Bowerman
sat down and mused:
"Space is space. The use of space is in
knowing how to utilize it"
Removing everything, he began repacking.
He found that silk dress could be rolled to
the size of quart jug. A freshly starched
lawn.was made to take the place Of pair OF
slippers. Her brown bunting fitted into the
niche she had reserved for three handker-
chiefs, and her best bonnet was turned up in
its box, and packed full of underclothing.
He sat there viewing sufficient empty space
to pack in a whole bed when she returned
and said he was the only good husband in
this world, and she kissed him on the nose as
he turned the key.
"It's simply the difference between the sex
es,' wasshis patronizing reply, as he went
down stairs to turn on the burglar alarm.
When that wife opened the trunk last
night! But screams and shrieks would
avail nothing.

TRUSTING FUTURrTY.-At four hundred
and something Jones Street is fortune.teller,
who has made new departure in the astro
logical profession by causing her customers
horoscopes to appear on slate lying upon
the table. She enjoys the large patronage
due to soothsayer who serves up at the
very least rich uncle in India, and the un-
dying secret love, of dark-eyed person of the
other sex, according to circumstances, to
each cash client. The other day, as young
Gufey and halfdozen boon companions
were going home from the club in state Of
owish self complacency, they came to where
Signora Clementna's sign invited the passer-
by to peer into futurity. They accordingly
filed slowly in, and, sitting around the sig
noras table, had whole hunks Of coming
events dealt out to each. When they arose to
depart, Gufey waited until his party had got
safely into the street, and then putting his
handi into his vest. pocket. inquired the amount
of the bill
"Seven revelations at two dollars and q
half" replied the sorceress, sweetly; Gust
seventeen dollars and half; call it seven
teen dollars even."
"And you are sure every thing on that
slate will come out all right2"
20! it's certain sure"
"Then put the bill on the slate, too" and
the wicked young man had just time to escape
before an educational adjunct was shivered
Just where his head had been.

Symptoms Of a Diseased Liver.

'DAIN in the right side, under the edge
l of the ribs, increases on pressure;
sometimes the pain is in the left side;
the patient is rarely able to lie on the
left side; sometimes the pain is felt
under the shoulder blade, and it fire.
quently extends to the top of the shoul-
der, and is sometimes mistaken for
rheumatism in the arm. The stomach
is affected with loss of appetite and
sickness; the bowels in general are
costive, sometimes alternative with lax;
1.-The head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with dull, heavy sensation in
the back part. There is generally a
considerable loss of memory, accom-
panied with painful sensation of hav-
ing left undone something 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
sensation of the skin; his spirits are
low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him,
yet he can scarcely summon up forti-
tude enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease, but
cases have occurred where few Of them
existed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. C. McLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when taken
with Quinine, are productive of the
most happy results. No better cathartic
can be used, preparatory to, or after
taking Quinine. I'VE would advise all
whs are afflicted with this disease to
give them FAIR TRIAL.
For all bilious arrangements, and as
a simple purgative, they are unequaled.
BEWARE OF INVITATIONS.

Every box has red wax seal on the lid,
with the impression DR.. McLANE's LIVER
PILLS.
The genuine McLANE's Liver PILLS bear
the signatures Of c. McLANE and FLEMING

there are others trying to do likewise, and the
buyers desirous of getting the utmost for their

the affairs of nation have reached this stage
when there is no prospect of higher prices,

cheaper crops; will cultivate more area so as
to have larger sales, though small profit from

GREEN FooD FOR FowLs.-Fowls cannot
get along well on grain food alone, and must
in both Winter and Summer-the latter
especially-be supplied with some green, sue.
culent food, or they will ere long become dis
eased or sickly, when the matter of profit will
be very problematic indeed. Many a. time
have we seen persons pay snug little sums for
small flock of fine fowls put them into neat
houses and yards, give them plenty of corn,
wheat, oats, etc., watering them regularly, but
never allow them bite of grass or other
green food. The place must be small. indeed,
which can not afford enough grass for flock
of fowls. If sods cannot be obtained, cut a
bunch of fine young grass early every morn
ing for them, and they will show you how
badly they need it by eating it up, with evil
dent relish. The labor necessary to supply
them with this is not very great, and should
be pleasure, rather than task while the
benefits which the fowls derive therefrom are
very great indeed.
If you do not care to give your fowls their
green food in the shape of grass, supply them
with head of cabbage each day. Tie it
up by the roots to some covenient place, and
the fowls will soon pick every piece off clean.
This is also the way to supply them with their
green Winter food. Even if you have to buy
the cabbage, it is not very expensive; for
you can get the soft heads--which sell at a
very low price, compared with the hard, solid,
and marketable ones-at a nominal price,
