 "Fare, please"
 "This is lnsutferable."
 Fare, please"
 "A new man ought to know his busi- ness better"
 My orders are that every person who rides on my train must have Q ticket, pay his fare or show pass properly signed or be put off. Your pass or your fare, please-there's nothing in the reg ulaiions about man riding on his word"
 "rll discharge you at the end of this run !'
 "For the last time, you pass or your fare, please. I'm onto your racket. The president of this road don't ride in the smoker of the regular train; he goes in his own private car D ''I've left my book of passes at tho office and the only money l have is Q check"

Something AhOul Cninrrh.

A great many people are afflicted with Ca. tarrh who do not know what ails them; and a | great many more continue sufferers whc might be cured.
 Thickening of tho membrane which lines the nasal passages, thus making breathing ditll- cult; discharge from the nostrils, more Of less copious, watery or thick, according to the stage of the disease; n sense of fullness in the head; a constant inclination to spit; and, in advanced cases, dropping of intensely dis gusting matter into the throat, arc few of ths prominent symptoms of Catarrh.
 Deafness, intamed eyes,neuralgic paias, sore throat and loss of senso of smell, are very often caused by Catarrh
 All these t1 oubles are cured by Piso's Reme. dy for Catarrh Relief is had immediately after beginning it's use, but 1t is important that it be continued without intcrmission until the catarrhal virus is expelled from tho system and healthy secretions replace the diseased action of the mucous membrane. Manifestly it is unreasonable to expect cure in a short time of a disease that has been progressing for months or years.
 This question of time Is provided for in the putting up of Piso's Remedy for Catarrh. It is so concentrated that Q very small dose is directed. The quantity in one package Is sui. hcient for long treatment consequently the expense is a mere tritie, and there is no excuse tor neglect nor reason for 1t but forgetfulness.
 A cold in the head is relieved by an applica- cation of Pisos Remedy for Catarrh. The comfort to be got from it in this way is worth many times the cost.
 The following letters are specimens of those received every day, tostifying to the worth of plso's Remedy for Catarrh
 ALLEGHENY, Pa. Sept, %, 1885. Piso's Remedy for Catarrh is doing wonders Tor me- believe it will cure any case of Ca tarrh, if used according to directions.

Winter Care Of Lambs and Sheen.

From autumn to winter, from grass
to hay (Which probably the young ami
NAL has never seen before), the transit
ton must be somewhat shaded off. /
think it advisable to remove lambs from
the pasture early enough depending
on the season.. to leave some green
feed in the field for them to be return
ed to few hours day, for a week or
a fortnight. 1t is far better to take
them up in this way than to wait until
snow-storm has covered the grass
beyond reach, for then the commence
ment of housing will be so abrupt rs to
be likely to produce collie or stretches.
Turn them out in the morning for few
minutes airing, and sprinkle in their
racks little of the greenest, most aro-
matte hay at command. l like it as
green as English breakfast tea for
lambs. When turned back, they will
eat the greater portion before noon.
and then they may be driven aield for
few hours.-STEPHEN Powers IN
