hear from me as to my impressions of
the great Columbian Exposition, after
having been identified with it for some
two weeks. Not that can hope to add
anything to your stock of knowledge as
to the magnitude and VaStneSS of the
concern, for that has been expatiated up
on by ADLER pens than mine, and well
nigh exhausted the resources of our
growing language in search of ad electives
and superlatives to convey partial idea
of it's real and relative greatness. 1t is
simply colossal.
Who can fully grasp the idea of thirty
acres f.wiosed and under one continuous
symmetrical roof and embracing more
than fOrtyfOur acres of floor space, and
al literally crowded with the very rarest
and best works of ali nations, each and
all artiStically arranged SO as to produce
the best effect; each nation trying TO en-
Gel others in the beauty and wealth of
their display.

Mrs. Sarah M. Black of Seneca,
Mo-, during the past two years has
been affected with Neuralgia Of the
Head, Stomach and Womb, and
writes: MY food did not seem to
strengthen me at all and my appe-
tite was very variable My face
was yellow, my head dull, and had
such pains in my left side. In the
morning when I got up I would
have a flow of 1nucus in the mouth,
and a bad, bitter taste. Sometimes
my breath became short, and I had
such queer, tunbling, palpitating
sensations around the heart. Iached
all day under the shoulder blades,
in the left side, and down the back
Of my limbs. 1t seemed to be worse
in the wet, cold weather Of Winter
and Spring; and whenever the spells
came on, my feet and hands would
turn cold, and l could get NO sleep
at all. I tried everywhere, and got

MODERN MAxiMS.
Some Sage and Witty Sayings by a Ceie-
 brlied Writer.


 Ut is part of the sage to make max inns. I have for some time suspected that l have arrived at the period of life when the sage is at his best. and have now therefore tried my hand at a few useful maxims. Here they area mixed and miscellaneous lot. Of course, the sage at this time must be cynical in order to be popular. I hope some of these are cynical enough Those on riches seeln-to partial parent-to be maxims really worthy of the most east ern-the most Himalayan-of sages.
 Out of ten men nine are born to work for the tenth. Resolve to be the tenth.
 Without trampling the cleverest cannot get rich
 Dives is never an example, because nobody considers himself really rich.
 If you cannot become rich, remem- Der the many miseries of the rich. "The consolation of those who fail is to depreciate those who succeed
 He who foresees never acts. '.Tbe greatest things are done by the greatest fools
 "Wise men never attempt anything.
 When you lose a leg begin at once to practice with a wooden one. Mems motives are mercifully hidden by their shirt fronts ..Observe moderation in all things especially in virtues
 .'The best way to make a man honest is to make him ashamed of being found ont.
 There may be pride even in confess ing mistakes.

AFTER THE BUTCHERS.

Mayor Paschal stated to the
council that there seemed to be
determination on the part of the
butchers of the city not to pay
meat inspection fess that the re-
cOrder's docHet daily contained the
names of viOlatOrs of this ordinance
and that some action should be
taken at once regarding the matter.
He further stated that in his Opin-
ion, the butchers were assessed an
inspection fee, which in no way
could be termed tax.
Alderman Sinner then offered
an ordinance which was adopted,
although one of the councilmen
brought in the usual little "kick."
1t was to the effect that vendors of
meats shall have their privileges
revoked by the mayor, if they fail
to pay the meat inspection fees,
and that any person vending meat
without a license shall be fined by
the recorder in any sum not less
than $40 or more than 5000 for each
and every Otfense.
Council then adjourned.
