 And give cake in fullest measure
 To the men of Australasia And all the Archipelagoes that dot the south And the Anthropophagi,
 All their lives deprived of pie, She would satiate and satisfy with custard, cream and mince;
 And those miserable Australians
 And the Borrioboori= =hal lians, She would gorge with choicest jelly, rasp berry, currant, grape and quince. But like old wartime hardtackers, her poor husband lived on crackers Bought at wholesale from baker, eaten from the mantle shelf;

"He belonged to the editor of the newspaper, which explains how the owner could afford to advertise him so much."
 "Yes, but isn't the horse danger ous?" asked the baroness.
 ''He is a noble animal and full of life. It is fact that he has killed all those men."
 "Great heavens '" exclaimed the bar oness.
 The baron smiled contemptuously. "None of those fellows knew how to ride; they were mere beginners. The horse don't know what it is to have a rider on his back, but l will teach him."
 Next morning the baron mounted the noble animal which originally cost twelve hundred francs. The horse stood up straight on his hind legs, then he came down on his fore legs, and lifted his hind legs up in the air over his head alter which little prelude, he jumped about ten feet into the air, and came down on all four feet. Then he bumped himself, and the baron was shot up into the blue vault above. After while he came down on his head. When they picked him up he seemed to have been dead some time.
 "Now, my friend" continued my visitor, "what do you say to that? The baron knew how dangerous the brute was, he knew that one of his knees was weak and yet he tried to ride that animal. Now, that's what I call committing suicide. l repeat what said-that the baron, himself, alone was to blame. He shouldn't have acted the fool the way he did.
 "On my way back to the grave yard," continued my visitor, Il called upon the poor widow. As was pass ing through the court yard servant was leading the devilish brute to the stable. I tell you he is thorough bred-full ot life and fire. Just as the poor baron said, all the horse needs is a man who knows how to ride. If the baron's knee had been like mine, he would be alive to-day. poor fellow. Just feel my knee. It is as hard as steel. If the baron had had that sort of knee, he wouldn't have had any trouble with that horse. We'll, do you know that l bought the animal?"
 "You, you bought him?"
 q know what you arc going to say, you are going to remind me of that fool, the baron, and all the rest of the riders who have joined the great silent majority. Let me tell you those chumps were only beginners. It's a different thing with me, but l must be going"
 "I bade good bye to my friend, for had foreboding that he was going to do something rash next morning he climbed up that internal quadruped and a moment later he brought up the rear of the funeral procession with a fractured skull."- Terds &ftiHgs- Transloted from Me German.

The Blood

Is the source of health; therefore, to keep we'll, purify the blood by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla. This medicine is peculiarly designed to act upon the blood, and through that upon all the organs and tissues of the body. It has specific action, also, upon the secre- tions and excretions, and assists na a- ture to expel from the system scrof- ula, humors, impure particles, and eff'ete matter through the lungs, livef, bowels, kidneys, and skin. It effectu- ally aids weak, impaired and debili- tated organs. A trial will convince you that it does possess peculiar cura- tive powers.
