though they be actustei in such observ-

that Of seIf-interest. Its remarks were
naturally designed specially to enlist the

deserving of the attention Of oil inter

own interest, should respect the require

them do this and, consequently, they have
no difficulty in getting their licenses re.
newed; there are, however, others who are
OF the opinion that they can circumvent
the law without disagreeable results. Such
dealers can expect from no judge renewal
OF their licenses. The judges would vio-
late their trust were they, knowingly, to re-
new the license Of an applicant who had
dlsobsysd the requirements Of the law.
The fidelity and consciertiousness OF our

If you will remember, few years ago the
word malaria was comparatively un-
known; today it is as common as any
word in the English language; yet this
word covers only the meaning Of another
word used by our forefsthers in times past
So it is with nervous diseases, as they
malaria are intended to cover wha unr
grandfathers called biliousness, and all are
caused by troubles that arise from dis
eased condition of the liver, which, in per-
dispose of the bile through the ordinary
channel, is compelled to pass it off through
the system, causing nervous troubles, ma
laria, bilious fever, etc. You who are suf-

Table Etiquette.

There are a number of things that the
most fashionable and well-bred people now
eat at dinner table with their fingers
They are:
Olives, to which a fork should never be
applied.
Asparagus, whether hot or cold, when
served whole, as it should be.
Lettuce, which should be dipped in the
dressing or in little salt
Celery, which may properly be placed
on the table-cloth beside the plate.
Strawberries when served with the
stems on, as they often are.
Bread, toast and all tarts and small
cakes.
Fruits of all kinds, except melons and
preserves, which are eaten with spoon.
Cheese, which is almost invariably eaten
with the fingers by the most particular
people.
Even the leg or other small piece of a
bird Is taken in the fingers at fashionable
dinners, and at most of the luncheons
ladies pick small pieces of chicken without
using a Exchange.
