Whereas, 1t is believed that for this

duced and pushed through congress as

Greet attitudes furnish a gymnasium
where the respiratory organs are compelled

Altitude, also, prevents instead of inducing

Bill was as game man as ever lived and
too generous to take advantage.
Isn't he living now? asked the listener,

Set Him Right.

Geo. Augustus Sala, the well known
English writer, on his last Australian
trip, wrote as follows to the London
Daily Telegraph.
II especially have a pleasant remem-
brance of the ships doctor-a very ex-
perienced maritime medico indeed, who
tended me most kindly during horrible
spell of bronchitis and spasmodic asthma,
provoked by the sea fog which had
swooped down on us just after we left
San Francisco. But the doctors pre-
scrlptions and the increasing warmth of
the temperature as we neared the tropics,
and, in particular, a couple of Allcock's
Porous Plasters clapped on-one on the
chest and another between the shoulder
blades soon set me right.

SHOOTING STARS.

How He Became Il Free Mason.
The goat, the goat, the bearded goat,
The horned the hoofed, the hairy goat
AS I'm a sinner of some note,
This night | rode the Masonic goat.
He was beast of wonderous size,
With heightened limbs and CLASSY eyes
And beard that swept the carpets clear
And horns that touched the chandelier
Ye gods! if there's time we feel
Misgivings through our noddle steal,
IT'S when wo through the mysteries
Upon the dark Free Masons' goat.
Three times was | compelled to ride
The beast around the temple wide;
And when I tried the fearful mount
My hearts pulsatons all could count.
Twice did | make the circuit fair,
With hold on horns, on tail and hair,
Till on the third attempt at last,
When presumed all danger past,
He pitched me clear over horns and
head
And left me far below, for dead.
But when I rose, with courage frail
The goat had vanquished, head and tail;
And was styled by one and all
The liveliest Mason in the hall.

TWILIGHT,

Sing, sweet; it is the twilight hour;
Thy voice brings rest and peace,
And unto thee is given the power
To bid all discord cease.
Let day fade with its load of sorrows;
Now is enough for me;
care not for the coming morrows,
For they may Danish thee.
Oh, that this eve could last forever,
Ambitions sun be set,
For with thee near my heart would never
The busy world regret.
Only count us as Loves immortals;
Let each be one in soul;
Bid Night halt at tho western portals
And Death collect no toll.
Then twilight would be fraught with
splendor,
Bathed in Faiths golden stream,
And each to each all love would render
Sing, sweet, and let me dream.

As to the causes of rheumatism, but there
is no difference of opinion among them
as to the danger which attends it, the
symptoms by which it manifests itself,
and difficulty of dislodging it in its
chronic stage. Several mineral and
vegetable poisons are prescribed for it,
but none of these has been shown by ex-
perience to possess the same efficacy as
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This be-
nign specific depurates the blood by pro-
noting vigorous action of the kidneys,
which strain from the blood as it passes
through them the rheumatic virus when
it exists in the system. Physicians of
eminence testify to the value of the
Bitters in rheumatism, and the profess
ional opinions regarding 1T are borne cut
and corroborated by ample popular evil
dence. The Bitters remedy chills and

enough to keep that article out of 'the
