A PLAIN And TRUTHFUL
STATEMENT 70 THE PUBLIC.

You notice in the papers the
thousands OF business failures all
over the country. The reason OF
this is that firms in anticipa-
ting Great Business, have over
stocked themselves at the early
part of the season, and now find
that they have more than enough
goods. but not enough money
wherewith TO pay. To-day job
bers force goods on responsible
merchants at prices far below
cost.
An experience Of Thirty-Two
Years has taught me care and
forethoUght, and thanks to this
day, am enabled to stand as Use
full Middleman between the Whole
saler and the Consuming Public.
When other firms advertise sell
ing below cost, can announce
that on account of buying cheap,
j shall sell cheap

A Visit From the Bayleys.

Visit From the Bsyleys.
The servant at No. told the serv-
ant at No. Q that her master expected
his old friends, the Bayleys, to pay q
visit, and No. 3 told No. that No. 1
expected to have the Bayleys in the
house every day, and No. 8 told No.
4 that it was all up with No. 1 and
that they couldn't keep the bailifs
out, whereupon No. 4 told No. 8 that
the officers were after No. 1, and that
it was as much as he could do to pre-
vent himself from being taken in ex-
ecution, and that it was nearly killing
his poor, dear wife, and 80 1t went on
increasing and increasing until it got
to No. SO that the detective police
had taken up the gentleman who
lived at No. 1 for killing his poor,
dear wife with arsenic, and that II
was confidently hoped and expected
that he would be executed at Horse
monger Lane Jail, as the facts Of tho
care were very clear against him.

National Airs.

II Is a strange thing that the ma
tonal airs of great countries are
short, while those of little countries
are very long. For instance, God
Save the Queen" is IA bars, the Rus
sian hymn Is bars, and Hail, Column
bia," the foremost among the Amer1-
can airs, has % bars. On the other
hand, Slams national hymn has 70
bars, that of Uruguay 70, Chil's 46,
and so on. San Marine, the smallest
republic in the world, has the long
est national hymn. The national
hymn of China is so long that, when
people want to hear it, they have
to take half day off to be able to
listen to its strains. London Million.

The BrOwn.Sequard EA1x1f.


The Brown-Sequard Elixir.
The Riforma Medica, an Italian
journal, gives results Of a long series
of experiments with the Brown-Se-
Guard elixir and concludes that the
liquid, injected hypodermically, has
not the slightest lasting effect upon
the human organism; that the ri-
fling and transitory notifications of
circulation, respiration, temperature
and muscular power are applicable
by the excitement and tension Of the
subjects mind; that any rare and
transient improvement observed in
the treatment of various organic dis
eases by this method was due to sug-
gestion and the influence of imagina-
ton, to which causes alone Is to be
attributed the cure of some cases OF
hysteria and neurasthenia.
