For the Snorers.


A story Of Lord Aberdeen az suorer is
going the rounds
One morning, after night on the railway,
fellow passenger asked his lordship whether
he was man of wealth.
Humoring the man, whom he took for a
crank, Aberdeen admitted that he was pos.
sessed of considerable property
"How much ?"
"Well, perhaps, el5O,OOO But why 10
you ask"
"Well," was the rejoinder, "if | were
worth as much as you are and snored as
loudly would take a railway carriage to
myseif, so that my fellow passengers might
sleep little"
A Philadelphia woman, having suffered
much in mind and body by her her husbands
snoring, finally applied for divorce from
him on the ground of cruelty.
Her attorney filed a bill lof divorce, but
disliking to 90 TO an extreme went to work
to find a cure for snoring, and did il.
The remedy consists of olive oil aud mus
tard, six drops of the former to pinch of
the latter, taken just before going to bed
The function of the oil is that of lubri.
cant to the larynx, while the mustard is a
counter irrtant.
The defendant tried the remedy aud found
it worked like a charm, and now the family
are oace more happy in their home.

Richard Tau1's unique Checks.

Among the eccentricities of the late Rich
ard Vaux was his strong aversion for the
use OF bank books or checks. The famous
ex-mayor had bank account, of course
In fact, he had several of them, but he never
drew upon them In the regular way, through
the medium of checks Whenever anyone
came to him with a bill Mr Vaux would
psy it in very unique way. The back Of
an old enVcloPs Or a fragment of paper of
any kind or size would serve for check,
and upon this he would scribble the amount
of the BILL the name of the creditor, aud his
own characteristic signature. he very fire.
quently used a strip from the margin of a
newspaper The tellers at the banks knew
of Mr.. Vaux's strange custom, and none of
Mr.. Vauxs homemade checks were ever
turned down. Philadelphia Record

Evidently he considered that such ques-
ton, put to a witness, would be direct in.
citement to perjury, so he asked her herag
before she had been sworn. How old are
you madam ?" he said After little hesi-
tation, the lady owned up to being twenty
nine years of age. "And now that you have
told the court your age" continued the gal
