Two features in connection with tho
catastrophe are provoking no little com.
ment. One Of these is the rapacity OF
the London cabmen, who took advan-
taGe of the rush Of funerals to mako ey-
orbitant charges for the Use Of their
vehicles, and the other is the apathy of
tn" MiddleseX county officers aud the
pToprietOrS of the wrecked steamer in
the matter Of contributing to the re-
cov"ry of the bodies Of his victims.

6 Yes, presume so, but he'll leave

g But he's dangerous man"
Yes, they say so; but no one is
afraid of him."
Judge, do you know what he said
about you when 1 told him I'd have
him arrested"
"No.'
"Well, he said you were a blamed
grasshOpper eater"
6 Yes, but he didn't mean it."
"And he called you reptile"
Well, he was mad, / suppose"
g Yes, and he was mad when he said
you didn't know enough to write your
own name, and therefore couldn't issue
a warrant 2"
"Did he say that 2"
"He did"
''Then I'll issue on him like ten ton
avalanche on yaller mule The man
who sneezes at my larnin' must have a
contempt for the judiciary"

rested and tried, and the verdict of the
court was
Gunnison William, the verdict of
the court is that you are guilty. and the
sentence is fine of S35 in cash. This
court can't get over the fact that you viii

If you keep your stomach, liver and
kidneys in perfect working order, you
will prevent and cure by far the greater
part of the ills that afflict mankind in this
or any section. There is no medicine
known that will do this as quickly or
surely as Parker's Ginger Tonic, which
will secure perfectly natural action of
these important organs without interfer-
ing in the least with your daily duties.

in girls change somewhat as the fashions

that it is so and has a tendency to dis

hesitates to get married when he can't be

the latest conceit in girls is. The fashion

A great deal of valuable material
is lost by disregard of odds and
ends. If there is much waste, there
is likely to be no dividend. In the
log house of some enterprising emil
grant we may see wonderful results
in the way of furnishing by means
Of few deal boxes and half-barrels,
and few yards of cheap chintz. A
skillful housekeeper will produce
serviceable mats and carpets, made
of strips of wornout garments, raw
ellings of knitted goods, list, and 9th
er mysterious materials, which only
an expert can be supposed to know
anything about. A use has been
found for almost everything; the
parings of tinware are about the
only refuse that is thrown away.
Coal-dust is made up into solid
Jumps, which furnish excellent fuel.
Some of the uses to which cast-otf
material is put are rather odd. Stone
bottles. turned upside down, make a
good pavement for foot paths in Can
ada. The way in which odds and
ends of food are prepared and served
up in foreign markets for the poorer
class of customers, is worth noticing.
While standing on the Rialto, in
Venice-"the place where merchants
once did congregate"-we saw an
old woman, who had just purchased
a handful of snails for her dinner,
haggling over one of the snails, (which
she thought imperfect. What would
we think of economy like this?
