Thrashed a Man Twice His Size.

The other day a small, harmless
looking man entered a New York
street car, and accidently trod on the
toes of big six-footer. He apologized,
but the six-footer wasn't satisfied. He
talked for some time, and finally in
yited the little man to leave the car
and settle the matter on the sidewalk.
Greatly to his astonishment, the latter
accepted. Those who witnessed the
contest say that it didn't last long, but
that the big fellow had to be carried
home in an ambulance, while his di-
minutive antagonist walked away with
a cheerful smile. And SO it is with Dr.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They're not
half as big as most of their rivals, but
they do their work quietly and
thoroughly. For sick headache, bill
iousness, constipation, dyspepsia, ETC..
there is nothing like them. They are
the only Liver Pills absolutely sold on
trial Your money back, if they don't

Rev. DIR. Talmage's new Tabernacle
in Brooklyn, which cost 100000, is ad
vertised to be sold at auction in few
days to pay mechanics lien upon it OF
$53, 900 for work and material. 1t seems
strange that such rich congregation,
in such a rich city, with such a world
renowned preacher in its pulpit, should
have permitted such a reproach to be
fall the church. They either built at
too great a cost and display, or they
have forgotten the good scriptural
maxim about the blessedness of giving
1t is said that DR.. Talmage's sermons
and his lectures pay him the handsome
sum of $45, 900 per annum. AS he is re-
puted to be man of plain manners and
economy, living up to the wisest Chris
tian precepts, it seems to us that, with
his pay and the assistance of his out
side funds, he should have readily made
ample provision for the liquidating ol
the outstanding debt and have saved
his congregation and himself from the
modification of an auctioneer's sale of
a sacred edifice.

A Sort of Digital DenreSSi0n.

Did you ever notice, when man
smites his thumb with hammer, while
putting down a carpet under wifely
supervision and criticism, how quickly
he thrusts the bruised and throbbing
member into his ready mouth? writes
Robert j. Burdette in the March La
dies Home Journal. People think it
is because the application is soothing.
But no; it is an Involuntary movement,
same as winking. The man cannot
help it. Nature knows what the man
would be apt to say under the circum-
stances, and so she has provided him
with a stopper, and has ordained that
whenever he hits his thumb hard
enough to hurt-and it doesn't take
very much to nearly kill a man when
he is doing something he doesn't want
toby sort of interlocking system the
thumb flies into bis mouth and stops
him up, so that he can't say anything.
Some men whom you and | know
should be provided with an extra
thumb which they might carry about
in their hand all the time it wasn't in
active use. 1t would be great thing,
wouldn't it?
