why Everybody Smiled.

An amusing scene was witnessed by
many pedestrians one day at the corner
of Thirty-seventh street and Broadway.
A fence, about 80 feet high. covered
with theatrical Autographs, incloses a
lot ON that corner, where the founda-
tions of new building are being laid.
It was the noon hour, and six brawny
sons of Erin were seated on slightly
raised platform, resting against the
fence. They were eating their luncheon
and were joking and laughing to their
hearts content. Those who stopped to
look at the group could not withhold a
smile, for directly above this jolly group
of Irishmen, in bold, lurid letters,
were the words 'The Gay Parisians. F"
Here indeed was pleasant satire, the
result of accident. No wonder the work.

Two Good Irish Stories.

A Protestant magistrate once had a
little waif OF All Irish boy brought be-
fore him for some trifling misdemcanor.
Wishing to ascertain how much the
chlid comprehendcd of his duty to God
and his neighbor, he asked him if he
could say his prayers. The boy
promptly repeated the Lords prayer,
and further volunteered that he could
say the Hail Mary" The magistrate
testify replied that he did not want to
hear that, but requested him TO repeat
the Greed. The child, much frightened,
began to do SO, but when he came to
the clause, Born of the Virgin Mary"
he stopped short, and a~nxiously said,
please, yer worship, she's turned up
again, and what am ! to dop"

Outside of cholera We can do much
for the hog. 1t is wise to see to it that
he has a comfortable lodging place,
where he will be dry and free from tn.
interference of larger animals. We ear
study his necessities regarding his feed
at different ages so that he will grow
prohtably at all seasons. At weaving
time he requires more heterogeneous mat
ter than he does where ne is older, and
as he grows older there is more profit in
feeding more starchy matter. His
mothers milk Is, say, one par of albu-
men to four of starchy matter; at many
times this can be widened to one to five,
with a little corn added to shorts or
skim milk. A month older he can get a
greater per cent of corn to his milk or
oats or shorts, and as he ages corn can
be increased profitably, but at no time
In his life should he be on an exclusively
corn ration. The farmer may not have
milk or shorts, but he can have ats and
clover, and if he does not have them it is
good management to buy, because other
ills beside cholera will come if corn is
the exclusive Diet, and not the least of
them will be want of thrift that is the
f~orerunner of whatever trouble is wait
ing in readiness to attack him. Until
something is done to stay hog plague,
1t would be sensible to reduce large hog
farms and divide with anivals the
space and feed. Cattle are getting
scarcer n certainly will pay well as
soon as confidence is restored to busi-
j ness The sheep will pay fairly well if
tended, and neither cattle nor
sheep are subject to plaques. We breed,
usually, too many hogs and too few Of
other domestic animals.

!okE.MAKING TRADE.
A F1ourishing Gothamite Industry OF n
Very Peculiar Nature.

The business of joke making and
and has its center in New York. In al
most every city or large town there are
one or two bright wits who have crack
ed some exceptional jokes which some
comic paper has printed and paid for.
In many places there is some local
punster whose efforts are the pride of
his narrow circle. But only in New
1ork does this work center itself. When
speak of joke writing as a business
with some l mean it literally. There is
a coterie of about forty writer's, most of
whom live in New York, who do moth
ing but write for the comic papers.
They do not wait for a happy inspira-
ton, but make the inspiration come to
them. They write jokes and verses for
their living, and with some of them it
is a very good living indeed. These
are the men the comic papers depcnd
upon for most of their material. and at
least ten of them make from $40 to $50
a week "just joke writing" Some of
these are we'll known to the general
public from their names over verses or
short sketches. But some of them
again, who write merely short "squibs,"
are known only to the editor.
1t is no uncommon thing for any one
of these men to turn out from so to 200
jokes GRAND new, warranted not to
fade) a week. aud 10 bits of verse. The
professional joke writer frequently sits
down without an idea in his head. Some
turn of speech comes to him-he writes
down his joke on a small rectangular
bit of paper, just the size to slip into an
envelope conveniently. That joke Or
his train of thought suggests another,
and on he goes until in two hours he
may have written twenty-five jokes.
Then the business part of it comes in.
BY q system of special bookkeeping he
enters the head OF each joke in a book
and places opposite the title of the pa
per to which the joke is sent. AS a
general thing he will put twenty-five
squibs which he has just finished in an
envelope with an addressed and di-
rected envelope" inside, and start the
package on its tour around the world
of humor.
He sends it first to the paper which
pays the highest price and then in regu-
lar order from weekly to weekly until
he has exhausted the list and gotten
down TO where they pay as little as 10
cents per joke-a starvation price for
= the professional humorist. Suppose the
first paper 10 which he sent the pack
age took three jokes. When the others
came back he checks off the three as
taken" and paid for" if the paper in
question pays on acceptance-and most
of them do to the leading writer. The
rest he sends TO the second paper, which
may perhaps take four. The remain
ing jokes are again checked off and the
package started again. There are as
many as twenty-five papers and periodi-
calls which pay for original jokes, so
that the humorist has an excellent
chance of getting rid of all Jokes of a
series at some price. OF course, he is
continually sending out new patches
to the first paper on his list and thence
to the others, so that his name and
his humor are continually before the
editors.-M Y. Advertiser.

The Cause of rheumatism.

The cause of rheumatism is tactic acid
in the blood. To his acid are due the
aches and pains, the swollen joints, the
sharp, %agonizing twinges. Rheuma-
tism affects the limbs, a1ms. back and
hips, causing misery day and night:
stiffness of the joints. lameness, swell
ings, agony. Rheumatism can be cured
only by purifying the blood. Do not
waste time and money on linaments or
other applications. Do not daily with
unknown medicines. Cure rheumatism
,at once. surely, safely. promptly, per-
manently. by purifying the blood with
Hoods Sarsaparilla. Thousands of
cures of this and other blood diseases
conclusively prove hat Hoods Sarsa-
parllla has wonderful curative power.
The great merit of Hoods Sarsaparilla
has given it the first place mong medi-
c1nes. 1t is the reason for its wonderful
cures. 1t is the explanation of its enor-
NOUS sales Hoods Sarsaparina stands
not only upon its record of cures in the
past, though this Is unequaled by any
other medicine, but 1t is today curing
thousands of cases OF catarrh, rhcuma-
tism, scrofula, dyspepsia and many
other blood diseases. 1t is today the
medicine which the people take to give
them health. strength, pure blood, good
appetite and digestive power.
