A Unique Prescription For the Liver

A young clerk whose sedentary life and lack of exercise have left him with a sluggish liver and all the evil conse- quences thereof visited we'll known physician recently and was advised to regulate his diet to the utmost plain ness and to take horseback exercise daily. The young man frankly told the doctor that he could not afford to keep or to hire horse. The doctor asked him where he was employed and was told that he was clerk in certain corpora tion which is housed in an enormous building on Broadway, and that his office was on the tenth floor.
 Quoth the doctor: That's just the thing. You don't need to hire horse Walk briskly down the 10 flights of stairs three times a day, and it will do your liver just as much good as if you were jolted on horseback during an hours ride.
 The gentleman frieuds will proba- ply appreciate after they have read this why he persists in walking down stairs at a good gait instead of taking the ele- vator. The doctor added that no excer- else was more gently stimulating than walking down stairs and nothing more severe than walking up stairs. New York Mail and Exprsss

CARD FROM A. c. BAKER.

Our furniture business at Hawleyyille Is now SO well known far and near, that we feel that we may safely, for time at least, cut down our advertising expenses. An "adn to be of any value. should be changed every week. We are too busy to do 1t. Besides, we heard a man say, the other day that "that furniture man at Hawleyville, who hd- vertises so much, must be a fool" Queer what big game one runs onto sometimes when one goes out without gun.l Another more charitable friend remarke ed to us conn- dentially, in an on hand way. that writing "ads'' out of business hours is liable to lead to softening of the brain. Mind you, he did not say we had got 1t; and he looked away over into the next county when he said 1t but,-well we are not slow to take hint, if 1t is blind one. It would be perfectly aw- ful If We should really get 1t (this softening disease, we mean and have 1t get real deep- ly seated before we knew 1t, or before we had time to vaccinate. So we are going to stop right of short, give up our advertising col umns for awhile, pocket the money that would otherwise 70 into the coffers of these "grasping newspaper monopolies," eat brain ness 1. @. selling furniture at Hawleyville. Now for Heavens sake don't tell everybody what you think. Just remember how sensi- tive we are to adverse criticism. and say that we are simply boycottipg and playing Debs with the newspapers for awhile, Don't tell them that we are tired or waiting for any thing 10 harden. Re compassionate, be just, be considerate. be charitable, be liberal mind- ed one with another and last of all be sure and come to Hawleyville before you buy your furniture. Please commit this last sentence to memory and then pin it in your hat.

panrsr. of the Grape Cure.

The Swiss ''grspe cure" has, believe. comparatively few votaries in England, but any of my readers who mediate try ing it would do well to take warning by the extraordinary accident which has be- fallen M. Emile Wauters, the eminent French portrait painter. In order to strengthen himself for what promised to be an unusually busy season in Paris, NJ. Wauters spent portion of the autumn at Territet, on the borders of Lake Le- man, where he was induced to try a fortnight's grape cure" He was not, however, informed that the fruit had been carefully and profusely sprinkled with sulphate of copper.
 At the end of 15 days he was suffering from all the most painful and aggravat- ed symptoms of metallic poisoning. The leading doctors of Geneva, who first treated the case, informed him that he was only one of several victims. He was at last removed with difficulty to Paris, but the inflammation and weakness of digestion thus occasioned continued, and it will be long time before he regains his usual health. M. Wauters is justly indignant with the Swiss sanitary au- thorities, but hopes that other travellers will profit by his mIsfortuas.- .--Loudou World
