Rather Suggestive.

A humorous incident occurred at a
wedding conducted in a Melbourne
church not very long ago. The
officiating clergyman had just reached
that part of the service when the
question is put to the bridegroom &;
"Wilt thou have this woman to be thy
weddod wife?" and in firm tones he
replied, 81 will, when a fshmonger
chanced to be passing the church, aud
cried out in stentoriau tones; "Fiue

subsequent breakfast, remarked that
he was so disconnected at the time
that he felt as if he could have done

Harper's Weekly observes: A

Harper's Weekly observes; A con-
temporary newspaper is greatly
shocked by the remark of DIR. Bach,
OF the Medico-Legal Society, that
physicians sometimes administer
drugs to end the agony of patient.
1t wonders what reply trustworthy,
honorable and law-abiding physician
would make to DIR. Baoh's statement.
The chances are that physician of
the sort specified would make no re-
ply at all. The statement being true,
it was iniudicious enough to make it
at public meeting, without confirm
ing it afterwards. To confirm the
truth Of it by the testimony of physi-
clans might interest a newspaper, but
there would be no attraction in it for
the physicians. 1t is as reasonable to
suppose that some physicians some
times give drugs to end suffering as it
is to believe that they do not tattle
ogermuch about it afterwards.

WHEN POLLY SMILES,

When Polly smiles the grayest skies
Take on a heavenly blue;
And o, the light In Poily's eyes
How bright it Isl How true
And from his perch, on her sadato
Young shoulders, you can SEQ
Love shoot his arrows swift aud straight.
When Polly smiles at me.
But o. my soul. when Polly frowns,
How black and fierce the skies!
And. oftentimes, ralndrop browns
The light in Polly's eyes.
But when kiss her all the rain
And storm clouds quickly fec
And happy skies are blue again,
For-Polly smiles at me!

Olbelle u6 Ia OelBllerei
The empress was present, graceful
and beautiful; the emperor at her
side, wrapped in his favorite air OF
gloomy abstraction, which, like Lord
Burleigh's celebrated nod, was sup
posed to mean SO much, yet which,
viewed by the impartial light of sub
sequent veracious history, seems to
have signifed SO little. Several Off
GERS in glittering uniforms were in at
tendance, sparkling with decorations
showered upon them by a grateful
sovereign; and among these gallant
warriors, conspicuous by reason OF
his attire, was solitary, humble,
black-coated civilian, in ordinary
evening dress, with the inevitable
speck of red at his button-hole.
In a box almost Immediately op-
posite that occupied by their imperial
maiesties was young and exceedingly
handsome Russian lady, Countess
Ivanoh, concernin- whose manifold
graces and fascinatlons the great world
of Paris elected to interest itself con
siderably at this period.
The beauty and wit of this fair
northern enchantress were the theme
of every masculine tongue, and her
magnificent diamonds the envy and
admiration of all feminine beholders.
The countess was accompanied by her
husband, q man of distinguished ap-
pearance.
The curtain fell after the first act.
The emperor and empress withdrew
during the entr'acte. Many humber
mortals followed their example
among them Count Ivanoff, apparently
in nowise disturbed by the fact that
the golden youth in the stalls were
bringing a small battery of opera
glasses to bear upon the dazzling
charms of his beautiful wife.
The countess leaned back in her
luxurious fauteuil, tanning herself,
serenely indifferent to the interest she
was exciting. In the dim light of hel
curtain-shaded box, the glitter of hel
splendid diamonds seemed to form {
sort of luminous halo round her grace
full head; a myriad starry brillianti
cleaned among the masses of hei
gold-brown hair; and two priceless:
stones flashed and twinkled like twiI
planets in her little shell-tinted ears
The count had been gone but few
minutes, when there was a gentle
knock at the door; and, in answer to
the countess's "Entrez," the ouvreust
appeared, and said deferentially:
"Pardon, Nine. la Comtesse; {
gentleman charged with a message
from her majesty the empress waits il
the corridor, and desires to know i
madame will have the goodness to re
ceive him"
"Certainlyl Enter, I beg of you
monsieur" replied the countess, a
she recognized the distinguished-look
ing civilian she had already noticed il
close proximity to the emperor in tn
imperial box.
The visitor advanced a few steps
and, still standing in deep shadow
said, with grave dignity:
81 trust my intrusion may be par
doned. 1 am desired by her majest,
to ask a favor of Nine. Ia Comtesse
and. at the same time, to beg that sh,
will have the goodness to excuse
somewhat unusual request.

Weak ri erves

Indicate as surely as any physical
symptom shows anything, that the Or
gans and tissues of the body are not
satisfied with their nourishment.
They draw their sustenInce from
the blood, and if the blood is thin, i'm.
pure or insufficient, they are in a state
of revolt. Their complaints are made
to the brain, the king of the body,
through the nervous system, and the
result of the general dissatisfaction is
what we call Nervousness.
This is concise, reasonable expla-
nation of the whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, then, is
simple. Purify and enrich your blood
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the
nerves, tissues and organs will have
the healthful nourishment they crave.
Nervousness and Weakness will then
give way to strength and health.
That this is not theory but fact is
proven by the voluntary statements Of
thousands cured by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Read the next column.
