A Great Explosion.

In these days of gunpowder, dyn-
amite, giant powder, and the like,
tremendous explosions are no rarity,
but the greatest explosion Of mod
ern times is, without doubt, that OF
the "old school" idea that Consump-
ton is incurab'e. Thousands olives
have been sacrificed to this mistaken
notion. Modern research has estab-
lishei the fact that Consumption is
a scrofulous disease Of the lungs and
that there is one remedy which will
positively eradicate it from the sys.
tem--Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. Of course, there were in
the olden times many who would
have pronounced modern explosives
instruments of witchcraft but there
are, fortunately, few o.day who do
not acknowledge that the Golden
Medical Discovery" is the one SOW
ereign remedy for all scrofulous dis
eases, and Consumption is one Of
them.

The Land Of Pluck.

Far over the sea is famous little
country generally known asHolland;
but that name, even il it mean Hol-
low land, or How land, does not de-
scribe it half so we'll at this-The
Funny Land of Pluck.

people are the queerest and drollest
Of all the nations; and yet so plucky,
SO wise, and resolute, and strong,
that beating the Dutch has become
a byword for expressing the limits

As for the country, for centuries
it was not exactly anywhere; at least
it objected to staying long just the
same, in any one place. 1t may be
said to have lain around loose on the
waters of a certain portion OF Europe
playing peek-a-boo with its inhabi-
tants; now coming to the surface
here and there to attend to matters,
then taking a dive for change of
scene-and a most disastrous dive it
often proved.
Rip Van Wrinkle himself changed
less between his great sleeping and
waking than Holland has altered,
many time, between sunset and
dawn. All its permanence and res
oluteness seem to have been soaked
out of it, or rather to have filtered
from the land into the people. Every
field hesitates whether to turn into
a pond or not, and the ponds are
always trying to leave the country
by the shortest cut. One would
suppose that under this condition OF
things the only untroubled creatures
would be turtles and ducks; but no,

After the thief runs the thieves

1t is a good sign in man to be

If thy wife is small, bend down to

Cure For Slang.


An instance came to the notice oil
the Boston journal where Boston
ese woman-Ibsen club, spectacles
and the whole buisness-had obsery-
ed with considerable .trepidation q
growing prediction in her daughter
for slang. RESPONSIVENESS had been
in vain. Slang phrases which this
young lady had picked up-heaven
only knows where-slipped glibly off
her tongue, and mamma had listened
with gasping breath and unutterable
looks.
1t got to the point where mamma
simply couldn't stand it any longer,
and, as pleadings were useless, she
resolved on heroic treatment. She
thought that properly administer
ed like cures like-a kind of homeo-
pathie treatment--would prove most
effective, and with that end in view
she procured several slang diction-
aries and gave the subject careful
study.
They boarded at fashionable and
very select boarding house, and one
day, while at dinner, she started in
with her homeopathic treatment for
slang.
Don't you think this soup spret-
ty good, dear?' mamma innocently
asked.
eyes, awfully good,' the daughter
cheerfully acquiesced.
"Out of sight, isn't itf" mamma
audaciously said.
"What" the daughter exclaimed,
aghast.
II say it's out of sight, catch on2s
mamma said in an aggrieved tone
seeming greatly surprised that her
daughter should fail to grasp her
meaning.
The daughter gasped for breath
and drank some water to relieve her
embarrassment.
SRI kick a lung out of that waiter
if he don't get hustle on with my
ORDER" mamma declared.
The words rippled trippingly of
her tongue as though she had beer
used to using slang all her life. Hel
daughter was so red in her face thai
the boarder who sat next to her fell
the heat.
"Oh, here comes the waiter" nam.
| ma said, as that functionary appear
ed laden with eatables. "He's no,
in the collar" she added.
Her daughter gave her a viciou:
kick under the table, while the faces
of those who had heard her remarks
turned deathly pale, and they won
dered; they had never heard thai
mamma was drinking woman who
sometimes took too much and sale
strange things.

GL1STONBTRY.

A post mortem examination of the re- mains of Gilbert W.Strickland revealed an effection of the liver that was so greatly aggravated by the inhaling of Paris green with which he had been sprinkling his potatoes a short time be- fore his death, as to greatly hasten his death. There was no reason to antici- pate a fatal termination of his com- plaint for several years at least unless it was brought about this unusual manner. This is one of the very rare cases where Paris green inhaled while sprinkling potatoes has superinduced a fatal result
