AT THE POST.OFFICE,

The other day a citizen called at the
stamp window of the postofIice and laid
two pennies ON the shelf. The clerk
looked at him for ten seconds and then
queried:
''Two ones?'
mo, of course not! When man lays
down two cents he wants a two-cent
stamp. of course
Not always"
but that's the inference. After this,
when you see two pennies down here you
can infer that u twO-cent Is wanted"
Next day the same man called and put
down bill, and before he could speak the
clerk showed 1t back to him with the re-
mark:
1.-The government doesn't issue any,"
ANY what?"
Amy thousand-cent stamps. Sorry
can't accommodate you.'
who asked you for a thousand-cent
stamp?'
you did. Whenever a man lays down
$40 bill the inference is that he wants
one Of those stamps, but, as / said, they
are not issued"
The man picked up his bill and walked
out with a red face, but five minutes later
returned and dropped a cigar on the shelf
and good-naturedly queried:
"And what do you infer from that?"
"Smoke-shake!' replied the clerk, ard
the two became friends.-Boston Post.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
In the annual analysis of the statistics
of the liquor traffic in Great Britain for
1884, prepared by DIR. Dawson Burns, it ap-
pears that the total retail cost of the IL
quor consumed In the United Kingdom IN
1894 was f13S.737,82S. as compared with
fl&, ,SG4. .829 In 1893. The expenditure in 1894
was thus less than in 1893 by f1l7,OO1. On
spirits there was n decrease Of f237, ,767, and
on wine of f287.23G. an aggregate decrease
of f525, ,0O3, but on beer the increase expen~
diture was A08, ,002, making the net de-
crease f117,00l.
As the population OF the United Kingdom
was estimated for the middle of 1894 ct
3S,779.03l (England. 10000, 1853; Scotland, l..

There was thus no decreased expenditure
In 1894 comparable to that Of 1893, which ex-
ceeded f2.000.000. In England the average
consumption per head was SO gallon spir-

BRIEF NOTES.

Great regret was expressed in this

was very popular.

nomination for recorder.
The funeral of Charles Brodhun took
place from his late residence on Carey
avenue yesterday afternoon at 8
o'clock. 1nterment was made in Hol-
lenback cemetery.
1t is said that an effort will be made
by Mr.. Palmer and others to have Jim

county commissioners. 1t Is to be
hoped that the treatment Mr.. Norris
has received while away has not i'm

more generally known, has developed a
great amount of strength among the

courteous deputy, and would make an
excellent official.

WILL NOT PAY JURORS.
Commissioners Refuse to Give Up Lucrc
to Court House Officials.

u lOuIt hhOusC OIIlSdGSs
The county commissioners on satur-
day refused to pay the court house Of
fioials their fees for serving on the jury
q the last term Of common pleas court.
There were from ten to twelve officials
ana clerks drawn on the jury, and
some of them spent the whole week on
different cases. The other day they
KeA in line with all other jurymen with
the expectation Of getting their order
from the commissioners for their
weeks work. To their surprise the
cdhuakuioners refused to pay them for
their services, claiming that they were
employees OF the county and under SAL
ary and were obliged to serve without
pl1.
There was q. big kick at this In
formation; but the commissioners say
.that they are IN the right. and will not
pay. The matter will probably be
taken into court, and the Judge allowed
70 decide whether or not the commits
atoners will pay these fees.

A Good Appetite

Always accompanies good health,
and an absence of appetite is an in
disation of something wrong. The
loss of rational desire for food 10
soon followed by lack of strength,
for when the supply of fuel is cut
off the fire burns low. The system
gets into low state, and Is liable to
severe attacks of disease. The uni
versal testimony given by those who
have used Hoods Sarsaparilla, as to
it's great merits in restoring and
sharpening the appetite, in promot.
ing healthy action of the digestive
organs, and as a purifier of the
blood. constitutes the strongest
recommendation that can be urged
for any medicine. Those who have
never used Hoods Sarsaparilla
should surely do SO this season.
