 TO keep the Blood Pure. Is the principal end of inventions and discoveries in medicine. To this object probably no one has con- tributed more signally than Dr. David Kennedy, of Rondout, N Y., in the production of a medicine which has become famous under the title of the FA- VORITE REMEDY.

s:No, sir don't believe newspaper men are more disspaed than any other men who earn their
 living by their brains" said Mr. A. H. Siegfried Man. ager of the Advertising Department of the St. Paul Pioneer-Press. "Still, those of them who do desk work are tempted to stimulate, for it's very hard on the nerves and stomach.''
 ''As for example-7"
 "As for example, in my own case. stuck to my desk this paper until my nerves were like bunch of telegraph wires after gale and my stomach kept about as good time two-dollar watch M friends suggested this and the doctors advised that but day caught on to 'ad.' of PARKER's TONIC, and tried it. have never endorsed proprietary medi cine before, but shall depart from my rules and say thai the Tonic is not merely the best thing but the only thing that breaks up these attacks. All desk workers should make note of it." | This preparation, which has been known as Park CTS Ginger Tonic, will hereafter be advertised and sold simply under the name of PARKER's TONIC. As unprincpled dealers constantly deceiving theil customers by substituting inferior articles under the name of ginger and ginger is really an unimportan ingredien t, we drop this misleading word. f There is no change, however, in the preparation itsef and all bottles remaining in the hands of deal CTS, wrapped under the name of PARER's GINGEl ToN1c contain the genuine medicine if the fac-simile signature of HIscox 6 Co. is at the bottom of the outside wrapper.

N. Y. Journal !: When seventy thousand

N. Y. Journal When seventy thousand watermelons were at one time the New York market, Thompson-st. was 8 scene of wild pleasure. Little picanimies rolled over each other, their faces buried in huge slices. The white-washing trade came al- most to standstill On one days work one of our colored fellow-citizens could buy watermelons for week. With the blue sky overhead, and piece of juicy pink delight gradually dissolving behind the rows of snowy white teeth, Paradise did not seem block off, Now there are quarter of 8 million melons in the market, and the gleam of knives as they are cut gives one the impression of continual battle along portions of the West Side. At other moments, viewed from the front, the population seems like an army of huge grass-hoppers, the mottled green melons looking like their heads. Viewed from the rear, the scene reminds one of a sunset in the mountains. A long line of pinkish cloud, broken by the tops of innumerable dark masses, which you discover to be re- spectively halves of watermelons and very curly heads. But no voice of eve in the mountains equals in succulent transport the occasional exclamations of "Golly p as the joy of the moment becomes poig- nant in the soul of the dusky melon-eater

The young ladies will be heir esses, and this fact, added to their natural attractions, draws all the young men from far and wide to the farm, but Mir. Wilson's troubles have been augmented of late. A revivalist has been down in his neighbor- hood, and they've ended by making 8 dea- con of him. It was bad enough to have to keep the village beaux from his daughters, but of late some of our city young men have taken to drive over there to church. Last Sunday old Wilson was especially an- noyed by young men who during the whole time of service were flirting with his younger daughter. Their misbehavior was carried to a climax when the regenerated father was praying. Suddenly he felt that he could bear it no longer, and raising his voice to the highest pitch he prayed

Ten years ago the eccentric individual who wanted to test the comforts of that production of tropic lands, the hammock, was obliged to prowl along the wharves until he found West Indiaman, when he might, if good fortune crowned his efforts, succeed in buying one strongly impregnat- ed with tobacco, perchance from some needy sailor. He then took 1t home sur reptitiously, and swung it away round in the back yard, out of sight, where the hired girl was sure to trip over it when she hung out the clothes. When he ven- tured to swing in it, he somehow felt as though commission of lunacy might be called by his friends, and he always insist ed that 1t had been sent to him as pres ent by traveller in distant lands who didn't know any better. Now, however, it has come about that the hammock Cor two of them) is an institution in every well regulated door-yard. There is but a sin gle drawback to the eammock, and that is the fact that after you have been dropped suddenly by something giving way that ought to have been stronger, and punch ed the vertebre of your spinal column all out of shape upon rough and projecting roots or stray croquet balls, you never feel happy in your hours spent in its rest-giv- ing meshes. Therefore, be sure, in the first place to hang your hammock over a soft place.

''The state of Pennsylvania, said Pro- lessor Stifer, ''is seven times as large as the whole country of Palestine. "And yet" said the baseball reporter, "I don't suppose if you raked Pennsylvania with 8 fine-tooth comb you could find that such a man as Moses ever lived in it." But the professor dryly said for that matter Moses never lived in Palestine either And the baseball reporter told his friends at lawn tennis that afternoon that he could have just clubbed himself for not saying Poti- phar, when he knew all the time it was Potiphar who was king of Galilee. The horse reporter comforted his colleague, however, telling him that he never could find anything in the Bible himself without referring to the Accordion. ''The what ?" said the stock reporter, lifting his head from the ticker. ''The Accordion" said the horse reporter ''that book with all the words in the Bible in it and where you find 'em."
