The wild phantoms and shreking cries of
worthless humbug can make m ney by impo-
sing upon the credulty and ignorance of an
honest public, and the supply of this species
Of work seems more than an adequate demand.
The enunciatioB Il facts-facts that have
stood crucial tests-facts proven by brain fore
and tangible evidence, should satisfy all laud-
able enterprises; but the execr bic practice
Of teaching false ideas and doctrines for self
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT is truly reprehensible and
should be scOrned by all classes.
When we tell the public that 3. 3. B., the
great Blood Poison Remedy, contains lodide
OF Potash as one of its ingredients, and when
we. as Old members of the medical profess on,
saw that 'dide of Potash is not poison, and
when the whole catalogue Of physicians tell
GU that it is not poison, we think it very
pTe-umutive for men outside of the professor
TO assert hat it rs a poison. The facts do not
warrant such a conclusion, and if those " no
make the assertion that Potash is poison do
not know better, they are set OF uncnvlable
ignoramuses.

LoveIy Girl, King ana N Sage
Have Parts I'm the story.

According to the Bengal legend, there
once lived on the banks ofthe holy
River Ganga Rishi or sage, in whose
hut, mace of palm leaves there was
mouse which became a fayorite with the
seer, and was endowed by him with the
Gift of speech, After while the mouse,
having been frightened by cat, at its
earnest solicitations, was changed by
Rishi into a cat; then, alarmed by dogs,
into dog; then into an ape; then into a
bean then into an elephant. and finally,
being still discontentcd with its lot, into
beautiful maiden, to whom the sage
gave the name of "PostOmani,' OF the
"poppy- y-seed lady"
One day while tending her plants the
King approached the Rishi's cottage and
was invited to rest and refresh himself
by PostOmani, who offered him some
delicious fruit The King, however,
struck by the girls beauty, refused to
eat until she had told him her parentage
POstOmani, TO deceive the King, told
him she was lrlncess whom tn, Rishi
had found in the woods and had brought
uD. The upshot was that the King made
love to the girl and they were married
| by the holy sage. She was treated as
the favorite Queen, and was very happy;
but one day while standing by well
she turned giddy. fell into the water and
| died.
The Rishi then appeared before the
King and begged him not to give way TO
consuming grief, assuring him that the
late Queen was not OF royal blood. Said
he. She was a mouse; and, according
to her own wish, changed her success
lively into q cat, dog, an ape, bear,
an elephant, and lovely girl. Let her
body remain in the well; ill up the well
with earth. Out Of her flesh and bones
will glow tree, which shall be called
her, 'Posto;' that is, the poppy-tree.
From this tree will be obtained n drug
called opium which will be either
swallowed or smoked until the end of
time. The opium swallower or
smoker will have one quality of each of
the animals TO which Postomani was
transformed. He will be mischievous
like & mouse, fond of milk like cat;
| quarrelsOme like dog; filthy like an
ape; savage like bear; and high tenn
pered like queen Medical Recorder

Knew Exactly What he Wanted.

1t was very particular man that sat
down to the dinner table at the Stafford
House yesterday, and he exemplified it
when he gave his order.
"You may give me, Mary" he said to
one of the table fairies-"you may give
me a delicate piece of-ah-rare roast
beef, well favored and-ah-tree from
any extraneous matter in the way Of
ah-stringy substance; a narrow piece o.
fat on the edge and aha litt'e-a very
little gravy. Just sufficient to-ah-
moisten it properly. And Mary"
Mary, who had been listening atten-
lively. here broke in:
Il understand you, Sir. You simply
want your meat cut bias, with Charlotte
Russo flouncipp. sbirred up in the back
with Pompadour rink rol. on the outer

"HOw is your church coming on?"
Poorly, very poorly. The debt is

Winter. My landlord has given me
permission to select another dwelling.

six months. am actually suffering for

The trouble with you preachers is that
you have not got any business sense.
Now, can give you hint how to make
lots of money, so that the church will
grow like green bay tree, on legiti-
mate basis: and you never need miss an
other meal ol wear anv more old clothes"
"Whar is your plan?
Utilize your advertising facilities. If
you will allow me TO hang up sign on
the pulpit to the effect that give pound
and half more sugar to the dollar than
any other grocer, will give you twenty
five dollars month. Ifyou will shove
my business cards in all the hymn books
I'll pay you ten dollars more, and if you
will let me hang up advertising cards all
over the church tellingpeople where they
can get the boss five cent cigars and
Texas molasses that has no glucose in it.
| will let you put as many notices as you
want TO in my store, such as Get thee
behind me, Satan What rs home
without a mother? and other Scriptural
texts"
"Sir, this is trifling with holy things.
/ would MT listen to such proposition
for moment"
"Of course il is, but you would charge
fiftv cents for chance at one poor little
oyster drowned in five gallons of milk at
a church fair. You preachers have got
no real good sense. If you would men
tion i'm your sermon that my fine cut
chewing tobacco is in everybody's mouth,
I would print your hours for holding

might do a power of good in saving SIN

W. T. wHELAN.

Some call 1t luck, dear brother Jim,
Some term II common sense;
While others still with equal vim
Pronounce it Providence.
But / believe, in spite OF all,
Fate, Providence, or wit,
Bull-headed luck or brazen gall,
It's proper name is grit.
'Tis well for those, dear brother Jim,
With time and cash to spare
To lift their hearts and hands to Him
In everlasting prayer.
But prayer alone won't win the hight,
In spite of holy writ:
'Tis acts that tell, or wrong or right,
And actions call for grit
I've seen In trial tests of speed
The horse that balks or breaks,
Although ne sometimes takes the lead,
He never takes the stakes.
While "sure- ure-and-steady-on-the Stride
Though slower on the bit,
Is often on the winning side
Because he's got the ''grit."
I've seen some fellows in my time,
Good, noble men and strong,
With hearts less human than divine,
Who couldn't get along.
No matter where you placed them, jim
They didn't seem to lit;
They couldn't win or sink or swim;
They didn't have the grit
Amid the countless ills of life,
Its pleasures and its woes,
The strongest factors in the strife
Are steady licks and blows;
And though we may not always WIN
We never will submit,
