The influenza epidemic is likely to
drive the hay fever out Of business in
the affected localities. It is said to be
the same thing as pink eye III horses.

It is strange that the average CON-
sumption of salt by each grown person
in this country is almost so pounds
year. tbs stranger still that so many
fresh young men keep their colors so
we'll under such circumstances.
There is good deal in q name after
all, According to reliable New York
paper the Prohibitionists do not like tue
appointment of Judge Brewer of Kan
sas to the United States Supreme Court,
because the name is too suggestive Of
stimulants.
A contemporary says that no lady in
the world beats Patti as a fnancier.
She can cash every note she offers, and
at q premium, in any market. The
trouble with her then is that they are
notes and not checks that she cashes.
Evidently the cashier leaves the bank
when she enters.
A good many people are busy just
now trying to devise new kind OF
dollar which shall pass in all countries.
What people need is dollar which csn
be had when it is wanted and in the
number desired. Give us that and
nobody will bother much with the ques-
ton of it's universally.

A committee of the Irish landlords
who are about to hold convention
waited upon Lord Salisbury Monday
and urged that the cabinet ought not to
decide land bill for Ireland until the
resolutions adopted by the convention
are known. That is what the English
government has been dong for years,
viz: waiting on the Irish landlords and
the tenants must wait on both.

A contemporary says that perhaps it
will make no difference to those who
like strong food, but it is said to be 8
fact that nearly all the sausage imported
into this country is made from horse
meat. That may be, but from what
Inspector Mallon says of the recent rise
in sausage and simultaneous demand
for old shoes in the second hand stores,
one would infer that the manufacturers
are not going to get left, even If horse
flesh is higher than it used to be.

1t is asserted by men OF high probes
s1onal ability that when the SYSTEM
needs stin1ulant nothing equals cup OF
coffee. Those who desire to rescue the
drunkard from his cups will, find no
better substitute for spirits than strong,
new made coffee, without milk and
sugar. Two ounces of coffee, or one
eighth of a pound. to one pint of boiling
water makes fcst-class beverage, but
the water must be boiling, NOT merely
hot. Bitterness comes from. boiling 1t
too long.

Frank Gibbons, who died recently at
Hibernia, N. Y, was the greatest guesser
Of the age. His faculty was first devel-
oped In a homely way, and did not at
tract great deal of attention. It became
arecognized characteristic when the boy
would stand at the end of a row Of
potatoes and guess with close approaches
to accuracy how many of the vegetables
would be found il each hill. He could
guess the number Of eggs in basket,
the Quantity Of milk in . pail, the mum
Der Of sticks Of wood in q load, bow
many bushels Of corn would be husked
from 9 patch, and how many grains OF
corn there were on an ear. p. III. OF
