various causes. DR.. Pyle knows
how to cure and prevent odntal-

The latest parady on Maud
Muller Jake Muller, on sum
mer's day, raked the meadow OF
clover hay. The mule with which
he raked that day was muckle
dun with spots of gray. Jake's
shirt was hickory, his pants
were brown, with a patch on the
part where he sat down. Jake
cussed in a way that was sad to
see when the mule went "haw'
when he said "gee." A humble
bees home in the stubble Law
where Jake and the mule raked
the clover hay. A rake tooth
run through that humble home
and the bees came out and began
to roam in search of that man
who on the summers day raked
the meadow of clover hay.
Senator Vest made the follow
ing beautiful little speech the
other day in the Senate in regard
to furnishing costly flowers for
the receptions at the executive
mansion
''Mr. PRESIDENT would rath-
er give twice the amount of this
appropriation to assist some poor
man who is fighting the hard bat
tie of life; would rather give
him something that would make
his cheerless home comfortable
and bring light to his fireside;
would rather put one flower in
the sick room of a noble working g
girl or matron, than to have il
said that / had voted a hundred
and odd thousand dollars for the
flowers and exotics to go to the
receptions and banquets of the
officials of this government,
where the chandelier flashes its
light across the red wine and the
air is fragrant with perfume like
the spicy breeze of Araby the
Blessed"
Tennyson could take worth
less sheet of paper write poem
on it and make it worth S65, 600
that's genious. Vanderbilt
can write a few words on sheet
of paper and make it worth So, :
600, 000-that's capital. United
States can take an ounce and a
quarter of gold and stamp upon
it an Eagle Bird and make il
worth S20-that's money. A
mechanic can take material worth
S5 and make itinto watch springs
worth 81, ,000-that's skill. A
merchant can take an article
worth rs cents and sell it for 81
that's business. A lady can
purchase a rs cent hat, but she
prefers one that costs S27-that's
foolishness. A ditch digger
works ten hours a day and hand
les several tons of earth for 81
that's labor. The printer of this
could write check for $50, 900,
600, but it wouldn't be worth a
dime-that's cheek.
Australia is really the anti
podes of the remainder of the
world in all respects. Summer
time comes during the time of
European winter; the rising ba-
rometer indicates rain, and fall
ing the opposite; the swans are
all black and the eagles white: a
mammal lays eggs, and has a bill
like a duck; the native dogs
never bark; the serpents have
tails like fishes and wings like
bats: the prickly pear grow to be
tall tree, and the poplars and
oaks seldom grow above five feet
in height; the emu has hairs in
place of feathers; the birds are
without song; the sun is in the
north at noon; the chief rivers
flow inland; the pear tree grows
a fruit that is beautiful to look
upon, but which, when ripe, is
as hard as though fashioned from
the wood of the tree itself; the
leaves of the trees all stand edge
wise and cast no shadows; the
stone or pit of the cherry is on
the outside, and must be cracked
in order to get the meat; the OPP
possums fly like bats; the king
fisher never catches fish, but
lives on fruits; the peas are pois-
onous; the oaks bear no acorns;
the chestnuts are without burrs;
and, in many instances, the trees
are hollow, with the bark on the
inside.
