SIDE DISHES.

A man who has travelled round the
world has discovered as the result
| this remarkable fact: A young Jones
is born every forty minutes.
An astonished Alderman has re-
ceived letter from Il constituent, be-
ginning: Dear and honest sir"
The letter was immediately returned
tn the postohice, endorsed "Opened
by mistake by AID"
Whenever you sec a man coming
out of i. country drug store, wiping
his mouth with the back Of his hand,
you.. ..nay know that the town is suf-
fering under q combined attack of
! malaria and the license law.
There has been a great deal said
about a man marrying his deceased
wife's sister, but the lady in question
has not yet been consulted in regard
to the matter. AS a rule she is too
well acquainted with her brother-in-
law TO want to marry him.
An off GER in the regular army
laughed at a timid woman because
she was alarmed at the noise of
cannon when asalute was fired. He
subsequently, married that timid wo-
man, and six months afterwards he
took off his boots in the hail when
he came in late at nights.
How much Goes baby sister weigh?
We p6t her in the scales to-day.
And all the weights, as am told,
Were laade 81 sugar and OF gold.
Tae gold and silver high were piled,
While baby sister CrOWsd a. d smiled,
Until the sugar and the gold
Were more IMAM any Scale coald hold.
How much does baby sister weigh?
heard my mother softly say
That she was much too sweet to-day
For any kind Ut scale to weigh.
a Chicago paper gives the follow
iur story concerning the recent reg
istration OF female voters in Boston:
Enter old lady of certain age. II
wish to register, sir.' "Your name,
please?, "Almira Jane Simpson"
"Yolr age":' beg pardon'' Your
agg?' "Do I understand that l must
give my age:' les, miss, the law
reauir, it," "Worlis, sir would
not tempt me to give Ii! Not that l
care. No; mad as leave wear it on
nv bonnet !: Il hackmau does his
number, hut Pm twin, and ii my
sister has weakness, it is that she
dislikes any reference made to her
age; and could not give my own,
because do not wish TO offend her."
We are all dual beings in a Way
that this little stery from the Detroit
Free Press illustrates: "A day or
two since a well-known physician
called to see lady patient, the
mother of a bright three-year-old
girl. AS the doctor entered the room
the little girl, as though somewhat
frightened, ran away upon being told
that the visitor was DR.. -. The
mother explained that the little one,
through experience with i dislocated
ankle and the vaccination season,
was evidently afraid of the visitor.
The following day tue doctor made
another call and succeeded in Win
ming the little girl to his knee. Why
did YOU run away from me yester-
day?' he asked. Oh, didn't run
away from you. l ran away from
the doctor of you,' she responded
vigorously"

Restraints And It's Fruits.

A little more than century and q
half ago there might have been seen
at Lincoln college, Oxford, a young
divinity student of plain speech,
habits and dress, but of unusually
fixed principles of character. He re-
solved to follow the example of Caleb
of old, and to obey God in TALL
things" That he might rightly un-
derstand the will of God, he became
a diligent student of the scriptures.
A brother and several students
united with him in his purpose.
Among his principles was one wor-
thy of imitation to-day. He looked
upon his physical health as sacred
trust, and resolved to do nothing
which would tend to impair his use
fulness by reason of disability of
health in the future. He lived alb
steniiously, devoted the rightful
hours to sleep, preserved quiet mind
and pure heart.
Il resolved" he said "to have no
companions by chance, but by choice,
and to choose only such as would
hold me on my way to-heaven."
His strict manner of living caused
him to be ridiculas. He and his
companions were taunted as ''Meth-
odists," owing to their methodical
hatits.
He was sometimes in doubt as to
the exact rule of right living. He
once consulted his mother, a woman
of great strength of mind and chalac-
ter, in regard to the use of necessary
anusementS.
"Would you judge of the lawful
ness or unlawtulness of pleasure"
she answered, ''take this rule:
"Whatever weakness your reason;
whatever ilnpairs the tenderness OF
your conscience; whatever obscures
your sense of God; whatever in
creases the strength and authority Of
your body over your mind-that
thing to you is wrong, however in.
nOcent it may be in ITSELF"
These rules he followed aud by So
doing laid the foundations of phySi-
cal health firm and surer.

On the deck OF a big Mississippi steam
boat stood an aged Southern planter. Indi-
eating by a sweep of his arm the waters the
boat was passing over, he said to a passenger
from the North: "When / was twelve years
old killed my nrst bear on new plantation
my father was then cutting out of n forest
that grew directlyover the waters OF hisbend.
That was a Mighty good plantation, and
there was right smart OF bears there, too.
But that one thousand acres OF land went
into the MISSISSIPPI years ago."
