Why Mr.. woodhead Was Absent.

There was once a Mr.. Woodhead who
got into parliament in 1886 for the Spen
valley division of Yorkshire. Mr.. La
bouchere moved to abolish the house of
lords, and Mr.. Woodhead was absent
from the division. Spen valley demand
ed an explanation from their Grant
member, and got it in the form of let
ter setting forth that it was all Mr.. La
bouchere's fault, who spoke so fippantly
on this important occasion that Mr..
Woodhead, exhausted with long days
work, seized the opportunity to go home
to his tea, and when he returned the di-
vision was over. Owing to the amusing
character of this explanation, coupled
with the honorable gentleman's unfortu-
nate name, this incident attracted good
deal of notice at the time.-London Cor.

To the Ladies.

I have the largest and most COM
plete stock of domestic paper patterns
ever carried in Austin. The domestic
pattern is the simplest and uses less
goods than any pattern in the market
hence it is to your interest to use them
in preference to others. Try a do
nestle pattern and you will use no
other forever after. Styles furnished

THE rivalry between the various
Texas cities has reached the danger
GUS point indicated in this bitter re-
tort from the Galveston Tribune:
"The Fort Worth Gazette says Gal
weston has not land enough to plant
post hole and hardly enough water to
float one. Galveston does not attempt
to plant postholes nor try to make
them swim. When we want to get
rid of hole in the ground we dig it
out and cast it aside"

Cost of Keeping Horses in London.

1t has been estimated that $4,000
horses are employed in the metropolitan
carrying trade in the city of London;
that their value is 81, 25O, 900, and the
cost of food alone is 100000. A rule
prevails for foraging the horses on three
pence an inch per week-that is, horse
costs as many shillings a week as it
stands hands high.-New York Times.

DIR. LEMON.


Do you want to know The
name of one of the best all
around household doctor, ard
certainly the cheapest that can
be found in any country
II Is DR.. Lemon. Yes, an
ordinary, sour, yellow lie non,
which ) on can buy at any gro
Gerry for few cents.
Here are some of the things
DIR. Lem u will do for You III
YOU give him the chance:
Squeeze him into a glass OF
water every morning and drink
him with very little sugar. lie
will keep your stomach IN tue
best Of order and never let Mr..
Dyspepsia whom he hates cordi-
ally, get into it.
Ii you have dark hair and 1t
seems To be falling out. cut a
slice off the doctor and rub him
on our scalp. He will stop that
little trouble promptly.
Sqeezs him into a quart or
milk aud he will give you a N X
ture to rub on your face night
and morning and get a com :
plexion like a princess.
Pour him into an equal guam
tity of slycerine and rub your
hands with the mixture before
going to bed. If you don't
m nd sleeping with gloves on,
that is better still, and helps
the doctor considerable in his
task of whitening your hands.
In the morning wash your hands
thoroughly in warm water and
apply the doctor again pure, but
only a. few drops of him this
time. You must rot keep this
up too long, or your hands will
show such a dazzling whiteness
as to make all the other young
ladies in the vicinity jealous.
If you have a bad headache
cut Dr.. Lemon into slices and
rub the e along your te nples.
The pain will not be long disap-
pearing Or at least growing
easier to bear.
If bee or an insect sting you
clap a few drops Of the doctor
to the spot and yon will find
yourself the better for it.
If your have troublesome
corn the doctor can again be put
to a good account bv rubbing
him OH the toe after you have
taken a hot bath and cut away
as much as possible of tbs trou-
blesOme intruder.
Besides all this the doctor is
always ready To sacrifice himself
in the cause of Russian tea--slice
him in without sugar or in the
preparation of old fashioned
lemonade, than VIII CHI no drink
is more wholesome.
Altogether DIR. Lemon is ar
