an interviewer, who was under the Furnishing

They are mostly what you newspaper men

Some of these jovial spirits tumbled to the

them up and perform his work at their
rooms. Then it got to be a regular thing.
Others adopted the habit, until now the bar
bers at all first class shops put in one TO three
hours every Sunday afternoon. 1t increases
their Sunday money, and then, too, they are
well treated. The customer arranges fol
his barber to bring a little flask and a ciga

The rse of slang.

The use OF slang among girls is on the in
crease. At present there is dearth of new
expressions and curiosity exists as to what
new bywords the coming summer will bring
forth. just now the expression most in use
is ''chump," as applied to girl who lacks
style and brightness. The catchword, "Who
is that manF' with the answer, ooh, he's all
right, started among girls at summer resorts
last summer. Extending over many years
there is a long list of bywoIds, such as "Does
your mother know you're outs" and "rll tell
your ma, that have had their origin not in
the concert halls, but among young ladies'
often among ladies Of fashion and position.
1t is mistake 10 suppose that slang begins
in the slums and works up. 1t is rather tho
other way. The hackneyed "Ah, therem and
its corollary "Stay therem are now worn
quite threadbare, and every one is on the qui
vive for the new word, whatever it is to be.

so many seem now to be afflicted If you
will remember few years ago the woid
Malaria was comparatively unknown--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 fore
fathers in time past. So it is with nervous
diseases, as they and malaria are intended TO
cover what our grandfathers called bilious
ness, and all are caused by troubles that
arise from a diseased condition Of the Liver
which in performing its functions finding it
cannot dispose of the bile through the ordi-
nary channel is compelled to pass it off
through the system, causing nervous trou-
bles, malaria, bilious fever, etc. You who
are suffering can well appreciate cure. We
recommend Green's August Flower. Its
