The Lady and the Liver Pad.

From the New YORK sun
A cause of complaint was one Of our fashion
able ladies who spent last summer at her
country seat on Long Island, and there con-
tracted persisten: type of chills and fever
All remedies failed and her physician. in de-
spair, prescribed a liver pad. Now, liver pads
are not pleasant things, and especially is a
liver pad not q pleasant thing to take to an
evening entertainment, for the heated atmos-
phere makes it exhale an odor which the in
ventor assures you is aromatic. but Others
might not call IL 60 The lady still takes de-
light In dancing an occasional lanciers, and,
being apprehensive as to the liver pad. she hit
upon plan for safety. She concealed under
her bodice rubber veporizer filed with the
most delicious perfume, and rs she has a man
nerism Of pressing her hand against her wish
bone in q rather tragic style when wishing to
emphasize point, she felt that it would attract
no attention IL she continued to do So But,
strange to say, after the first lanciers when one
OF her admirers approached to enjoy a mo-
ments quiet conversation, and she gave the
atomizer gentle pressure, he suddenly remem-
bered that he had an engagement to waltz with
somebody else. Ditto with admirer No. and
admirer No. 8. They hurried away uncere-
moniously and the more the lady strove TO be
witty and entertaining and the more she pressed
her yaporizer the more urgent their engage
ments became. Her vanity was deeply Of
Tended. She must be losing her attractive
ness.
Wishing TO test the working order of her
vaporizer, she pressed the locality very vigor-
ously. and at the same time held her handker-
chief to catch the spray. Great Scott! The
thing was unquestionably loaded with q solu-
ton Of carboiic acid! Then it occurred 10 her
that her husband had flied il for her, and that
mixture for spraying her throat stood upon
her toilet table. The mystery was solved She
had been spraying her three charming male
friends with carbolic acid, leaning forward to
Il, supposing ell tho time that she was send
ing forth whifs Of perfumed air qualified to
soothe their very souls. That night there was
break in the monotonous harmony of one
household and the husband felt as though he
had encountered female ssffragist in . half
hour speech.

A gentleman was passing near Houghton
Square just after the recent storm and discov-
cred cat ensconced ON the stringer of a
wooden fence in a sheltering angle. He called
the attention Of a neighbor to it, and together,
thinking that perhaps the cat was frozen 10
and in attempting to jump of the fence hung
suspended like an icicle by the end of its caudai
appendage, which was frozen to the fence. The
animal had crawlcd in for shelter from the
storm, tho heat Of the body melting the snow

man began to look around for warm water or
some other means of thawing it out. but before
they succeeded the weight Of the body caused
1t to break its hold, and the cat was released
from its strange predicament.
