Drawing a Conclusion Too Hastily.

The eloquent temperance lecturer
paused, wiped his pcrspiring brow and
said impressively to the man on the front
seat, who had listened with the deepest
interest to the discourse and evidently
was touched by its pathos and argu-
mcnt: "My friend, it is never too late
to reform. There is hope for the most
hopeless. The past is beyond your
reach, but you can control your future.
You cannot call back to your pocket the
enormous sum it probably has cost you
to paint your nose the color it has now,
but"
"All it cost me to paint my nose as you
see it," said the man in the front seat,
rising up, "was $3.50, including railroad
fare and boat hire. went fishing yes
terday. My nose will be as fair as lily
in day or two. But go on with your
lecture" he added, sitting down again,
al am very much interested"

Higher.
At Chicago the prices of potatoes have
gone soaring. They arc nearly expensive
enough now to be classed with dessert.
Last year the price was from 25 cents TO 2S
cents a bushel. This year they are quoted
at S1.05 to S1.15. There's nice comfortable
rise in prices. A round silver dollar would
buy four bushels year ago. This year
it just misses buying one bushel. Apples,
which are nearly as staple an article
of diet, have just doubled in price. They
were 81 per barrel last year. This year the
cheapest are 81 a barrel Onions have risen
higher than apples, there are people who
could get along without onions forever, but
who would think themselves hardly dealt
with II they got no more apples. Last year
onions were quoted at from 81 to $3.50 per
barrel. This year they bring from
S3.25 to 1918. Cabbages in 1889 were
S2.25 per 100; now they are from
IS 10 81. Peaches have gone up so per cent,
blacl<berries are 81 now where they were 60
cents last year, and all canned fruits are
from 25 TO 100 per cent higher Turnips,
beans, butter, cheese, and dried fruits are
ception OF dried apples, which are three
times as expensive as last year. They were
then 5 cents a pound; now they are 15M
cents.

A French Canar,i.

In notes from Paris correspondent OF
London Truth started a story of a new
plan OF reducing obesity by actually cut
ting out the layers OF surplus fat beneath
the skin. AS this story of the scalpel as
an aid to beauty, or vivisection as
means to embonpoint, is one Of the
kind that are likely to go the rounds
OF the press, it may seem pity
to spoil it early, but in justice to truth it
self, as opposed to some so-called news
paper truth, it is best to say now that
this is not so, and cannot be so. 1t may
be good yarn to stuff gullible friend
with, but don't give yourself away by
telling 1t for fact among those who may
know better. Foote's Health MontltU.
