A sensible Announcements.

An Englishman who, after grum-
bling about. his native country for
more than half lifetime, at last made
up his mind to emigrate to New Zea-
land, was asked why he chose that far
away part of the world for place of
residence.
why said he, sit is because nature
has made a much better arrangement
Of the seasons there than it has here"
s'What do:you mean?''
%'"What do mean? Why, it's great
mistake Of nature, as anyone must
see, to have the cold weather come in
the winter and hot weather in the
summer. How delicious it must be to
have. it hot in December, now, which is
the cold, freezing season. and what a
blessing to get bracing cold in July
when every body needs it! Now, that's
the way they have it in New Zealand.
and that's what I call sensible ar

Smart Seals.

Several years ago there were two
seals in the geological garden at Am
sterdam which were so fond of their
keeper that they could recognize his
voice long way off and would run to
meet him. These seals also became
attached to an old gentleman and his
little granddaughter, who often went
to see them in company with a little
woolly dog and who always took the
seals something nice to eat. These
animals were kept in large pond and
they would come out of the water on
seeing their friends and sit down with
the m to have good time on the
sand. The small dog was very lively
on these occasions, and he and the
seals would frolic together as though
they belonged to the same family and
shared the fruit and cakes from the
little girls basket. One day, however,
just in the midst of their fun the dog
fell into the pond, and after struggling
for moment in the water he sank.
The seals uttered cry of dismay as he
disappeared, and then, shutting to the
pond, they plunged in. In an instant
the larger one had seized the half
drowned dog, ard, carrying him ten
derby in his mouth, placed the drip
ping animal at his mistress feet

"a KITCHEN FOR THE PEoPLE.
A Worthy Charity Organized by Noble
Ladies of Vienna.

A Worthy Charity Or ganized by Noble
Ladies of Vienna.
One of the finest traits of the Wen
nese aristocrat is his untiring charity
In the year 1872 an association of four
hundred ladies and noblemen belonging
to the loftiest ranks of society was
formed for the purpose of supplying
wholesome dinners to the poor at the
lowest possible price. Each member
gave the sum of three hundred dollars
toward the initial outlay. and with this
money the first. .,Volkskuchen'' (peo-
pies kitchen) was opened. To-day
there are ten of these in Vienna, and in
the course Of the year food is sold in
them to the value of more than FIVE
hundred thousand dollars. The ladies
and gentlemen who manage this superb
association have done wonders, and
eight or ten ladies maze point of be-
ing always in each kitchen whilst the
dinners are being served
The ...'Volkskuchen' are huge rooms,
with great windows letting in both sun
and air, and provided with oak tables
and benches, which are kept scrupu-
lousy clean. The floor isspaved with
marble, and at the lower end of the
hall wooden. counter divides it from
the actual kitchen, where many cooks
are at work preparing the food All
classes, from poor university students to
ragged looking tramps, receive a kindly
welcome. Each person approaches
the counter and buys a pasteboard
chip or check for dinner, generally con-
sisting of soup, beef, vegetables a
sweet and bread. This check is deliv-
cred to the ladies in attendance, who
serve the portions on china plates and
hand them to the hungry customers.
The latter carry their food to the
tables. upon which are placed great
jugs of pure water, together with drink
ing mugs of pewter, and comfortably
seated on the benches they eat to their
hearts content. The complete dinner,
well cooked and daintily served, costs
four cents, and breakfast of coffee,
bread and butter, and some kind OF
stew can be. obtained in the early morn
ing for one cent. From to 8 in the
evening supper is served at cost Of
t two cents. lis generally composed Of
cold meat, soup and pudding. It is
a touching sight to watch the lovely and
aristocratic court beauties of Vienna,
wearing snowy aprons over their ele-
CANT walking dresses, distribute the
food to the poor ill-fed wretches who
crowd the room A kind smile or word
Of sympathy always accompanies the
action, and when particularly misera-
BILE fellow-creature approaches the
counter it often occurs that one or the
other of these charming ministering
angels inquiries into his or her case, and
undertakes to aid them in their trouble.
Every day over ten Thousand persons
dine in the Volkskuchen, and the mar.
yelously low prices at which the food il
sold can only be accounted for by the
huge quantities in which it is bought
| and prepared. -Harper's Weekly.

country. :. I am a farmer, one of

work late. At the beginning Of last
Winter I was on a trip to the City
of Vicksburg, Miss, where got we'll

went home and was soon after seized
with dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until I had
to seek relief. CONSULTED DR.. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to get a bottle Of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and 1.caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. I
got two bottlesof German Syrup. /
began using them, and before taking
