that l canuot give favorable answer to
your request. In this great city there
ought to be abundant opportunity for
every young man 70 learn a trade. Under
the regulations adopted by the various
trades unions the number o! apprentices
is limited, so that there is growing up in
our midst d large number OF young men
who cannot lind access to a6y mechaui-

these regulations is TO keep our own
young men out of useful employment

What am / TO DC?

The symptoms of BihOusness are un.
happily but too we'll known They differ in
different individuals 10 some extent. A
Bilious man is seldom a breakfast eater.
Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent
appetite for liquids but more FOR solids of a
morning. His tongue Will hardly bear in
spection at any time; if it is not white and
turred, il is rough, at ali events.
The digestive system is wholly out OF
order and Dlarrhea or Constipation may be
a symptom or the TWO may alternate. There
are often HemOrrhOidS Or even loss of blood
There may be giddiness and often headache
and acidity or tlatulence and tenderness IL

Franklin's Famous Toast.

Ben Franklin was dining with small
party of distinguished gentlemen when
one OF them said: Here are three naticu.
allties represented: am French, and nv
friend there is English, and 1ir. Franklin
is an American. Let us each propose a
toast"
1t was agreed to, and the Englisbman's
turn came Iirst. He arose, ami in the
tone OF a Briton bold, said:
Here's goes to Great Britain, the sun
that gives light to all nations of the
earth"
The Frenchman Was rather taken oack
at this, but he proposed:
Here's to France, the moon whose
magic rays move the TIDES of the world ,
Our Ben then arose With his air OF
quaint Eodesty and Said:
Here's TO George Washington, the
Joshua OF America, who commanded the
sun and moon to stand still-and thew
stood still"
