He Was Too Smart.

The boarding house joker has at last
met with a setback. He has beer crushed

He was the only man at the table full
of lovely girls. and like all only men he
was spoiled. So when the belle of the
table remarked that she was very ono Of

landlady from the next table. Speak a
little louder, won't yoU::'
He reiterated his remark.
THAT isn't true" retorted the land
lady hotly. II do not use adulterated
goods on my table"
MY dear madam" said the bland
joker, there are always a lot of p's in

There was an impressive pause; then

The Cow boys Accomplishments.

One of the chief sports Of the cowboys
is snatching "A sOmbrero from the ground
on a horse running at full speed. This
is done by many. They have become ex
perts in the use of a 6-shooter irevolver,,
and a cowboy on the plains is seldom
seen without one or more, often two,
buckled to his waist. It becomes a
weapon offensive and defensive. Some
times a roped bull becomes SO furious
that the cowboy is compelled to shoot
him. Usually the cattle on the plains
are not dangerous. They will seldom
attack a man on horseback unless thev
have been roped. Ii a man was on foo.
a herd would run over him trying to fl /.
out what he was. A cow or bull is da-l
gerous when roped. 1t is not much of a
trick to throw a lasso and catch a COW.
but the skill, courage and strength comes
after the cow has been lassoed.-Cor.

Attacks OF Sc, headache could often
be avoided il .Ae cause of them Were
known. IN many instances the causc is
IA disordeIed condition of the stomach.
In sach cases there is often a regular re-
currence Of the attacks. the person in the
meantime feeling perfectly free from the
complaint.
Here it will often be found that by
some error of diet the patient is gradu-
ally accommodating in his system some
noxious substances. which it takes Il spe-
cial effort of nature to throw off. Then
the whole internal machinery refuses TO
do its ordinary work. The stomach. the
intestines. the liver and other organs
which produce the digestive juices al
most entirely cease their regular task of
rendering the food taken into the mouth
fit for absorption into the system ut large.
Sometimes habitual overeating will
produce this result, or a person who
has been constantly active may continue
to eat his usual amount of food after ex-
changing his occupation for some more
sedentary one In either case the result
is the same-the overburdened organs

the same thing. For weeks and months
after she would occasionally have the

She had been i'll Philadelphia a few

PEERS AND THEIR PERQUIsITES,
Reluctance to Tell of Their Salaries and

Reluctance to Tell of Their Salaries and
Pensions.
The peers were asked by Lord Monks
well yesterday to assent to return show
ing the amounts they severaIly draw
from the public excheQuer for salaries,
pay, pensions or allowances of any other
kind. They did assent in the long run.
when they were told that it would be
perfectly easy TO MAKE The same motion
in the House of Commons. but it was
with evident uneasiness of mind.
Peer after peer rose to ask Lord Monk
swell what he meant to do with the in :
formation when he got it. One bitterly
insinuated that it was perhaps for the
use OF the County Counsel. This went
on until another noble lord tried to cure
his colleagues of their terror by the well
known expedient of IL shock. He sug-
gested the dread possibility OF 1.-The FL
nancial Reform Almanac" and in a tone
of approval which must have made the
blood of his hearers run cold.
Some pleaded for the right to put down
what they paid, as well as what they re-
ceived, as though ''horses, servants and
subscriptions would be taken as a sort
of offset in the form of contributions TO
the welfare OF the country. 1t will be a
useful return to have tine drawer, or the
Lords would never have made sucn a
fuss about 1t.
We hope it will give no encouragement
to low Radical politicians by showing
that the system of ''paid members" al
ready f1ourishes lu rank luxuriance in
| the Upper House. The only course left
and most of the Lords may take it with
perfect sincerity-is to plead that they
are not paid for anything they have done
but only for what their fathers uid of oil d
| time.-Lond0n Daily Nelgs.
