"Give me an anti-whisky." said disrlsted-
looking young man, stepping up to the soda
water counter of the best-known drug store
in New York The clerk took down sirup
bottle full of dark-brown liquor, poured out
half a wineglass of it, squirted some vichy
into another, and set the two before the cus-
toner.
"Ah. that's the stuff" the weary man ex-
claimed, a gleam coming into his eyes as he
picked up the brown liquid first, drank it
down and washed the taste away with the
vichy.

stander.
The clerk glovered disapproval Of slFch iGr-
norance, but deigned to reply: ~Oh, Ire had
a swelled head on him, and wanted something
to take it down
What was it you gave him"
Bromide and a lot of other stuff It's a
preparation of our own, and its just n

At a fashionable uptown restaurant the
same bystander heard Il young lady, lovely
and evidently respectable, ask TO see the pro-
prietor; and when he came she said in n
whisper that was not as low cs the fair
speaker probably intended: Il was up late
last night, and-champagne, you know, and
so on-and my head Is just awful Won't
you fix it,
The restaurateur brought a glass and an
assortment Of bottles. On the basis of half
glasSful from a large wicker deCanter he
built up, with variou L. additions, ending
with a squirt of - t..r from siphon, u
decoction fearfully and wonderfully mixeSl
as TO color and appearance. The sufferer
drained it with a WY face and a sigh Of re-
! lief
There" exclaimed the man, in a mixture
/ Of English and Italian us funny as the draught
/ be had prepared; you drinka dat, an ifa
you don'ta feel Is gooda as though You never
/ hNd a heada at ALA, then You never pay me
anything againa-'
/ The boast was not an idle one, Judging from

the dinner progressed
! To her escort, who watched the proceedings
nonchalantly. she said: Oh, its first rate;
( know it. There isn't anybody can fix your

/ decoction for the benefit of sufferers from Ell

To the thorough going Partisan, the in

| sporific. He is never really happy and
gay so long as he is away from his dear
| boulevards. He considers himself lover
of nature, because he likes to dine in the
bosquct of some restaurant; in reality he
is nothing of the sort. He is lover of
| sprightly conversation, thePtres, gas and
| good living All the sounds and sights
CT the country soon become to him quite
| distressing when he is shut up in their
midst, and his spirits would 20 up many
degrees if he could only hear the muffied
roar of the street.-Paris Cor. Boston
