The child's story of "Jack the Giant
Killer" furnishes striking illustration
Of the efficacy of small agencies towards
the suppression of evils, when iudicious-
ly used. The daring exploits of brave
little Jack remind us, in their results of
the wonderful achievements of DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets in battling with
the giant, Disease. Relatively, the pro-
portion between the youthful hero, and
dip Blunderbore, is apparently not great

provided with smoke.
No ardent lover of the fragrant weed
pulls at cigar with more relish than
this goat. A oomplacent smile curls his
upper lip when the lighted weed is
placed in his mouth, and the right fore
foot makes motions toward the whiskers
as though to stroke them. But Billie is
no ordinary smoker, nor is he unskilled
in the habit. He is not only a connois-
seur of the best clear Havana goods, but
is an adept at fast putting and graceful
manipulation of the weed while in his
mouth. The smoke Is never puffed out

Russell Sage, and of course he would
not allow any such amount TO be

his apparent uncertainty as to whether
he should wear a beard or not

Nevertheless, an undertaking is now

anything of the sort ever attempted

Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs, Mrs Willie

in the coming show. There viii be ex-

cross the Harlem now are regularly de-

lars have a way of slipping at critical
moments and engines and cars plunge
over the side, or narrowly miss doing
so. That the city has not been horri-
fed by some appalling calamity as yet
is not the result Of any merit in the
bridges themselves. One competent
engineer declares that all these struc-
lures should be thoroughly inspected

safe bridge in the metropolis is the

manner in which bridges have been

York were made this winter. The rail-
