what We sometimes call temperance

The solitary layman in the party did
not know the definition Of Temperance
tramp. and in reply to his inquiry the
clergyman explained: "A temperance
tramp is a man who goesfrom town to

Professor Nikiticuko's memoirs are
likely to be interesting. He was former
ly at the St. Petersburg university, and
gives some account of the ways OF the
censor in Russia. The censor once sent
for the writer Of dream book, and
asked him why he believed that the stars
had an influence ON mems lives. As the
author could give no satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION, the book was condemned.
The censor Jelagoff ordained that pas
sage in book ON Siberia, stating that
dogs were used in that country for drag
cling carts, must be cut out, because
this statement had not yet been Endorsed
by the government. Some years ago
there was cattle show at Warsaw, and
Polish paper spoke about the Mecklen-
burg cows to be seen there.
at would be better if you said Span
ish, said the censor.
'May l ask whyi"
Don't try to humbug me, sir. You
were thinking of the grand dukes of
sMecklenburg when you wrote that, and
they are related to our dynasty.
Paintings also are subject to censor
ship. The painter Alchimovicz painted
q picture called advice From the Land
lord, " in which some peasants were rep
resented going to the lord of the knout.
The censor said, peasants must not
ask advice Of their landlord, but get il
from a government official " When
Alchimovicz called his picture .Engag

hibit it.-Realm.

CONSUMPTION CURED
AN ABSOLUTE REMEDY FOR ALL

II. A. slooum offers to Send Two Bot
ties Free OF His Remedy TO Cure

Nothing could be fairer, more philan
thropic OF carry more JOY in its wake than
the offer OF I. A. 6locum, Nd. o., OF lo5
Pear. street, New York. Perfectly conf
dent that he has an absolute remedy for
the cure of consumption and all pulmon-
airy complaints, he offers through this pa
per TO send two bottles tree 70 any reader
who is suffering from lung trouble or con-
sumption, also loss of fiesn and all condi-
tions oil wasting. He invites those desir-
GUS of obtaining this remedy TO send their
express and postoffice address, and TO re-
ceive in return the TWO bottles free, which
will arrest the approach OF death. Al
ready this remedy, by its timely use, has
permanently cured thousands OF cases
which we're given up, and death WAS looked
upon as an early visitor.
Knowing his remedy as he does, and be
ing SO proof-positive OF its beneficent re
suits, Or. Slocum considers II his religious
duty, duty which he owes TO humanity
10 donate his infalliDle remedy where 4
will assault the enemy in its cIdatel, and
by its inherent potency, stay the curren

from it's inherent strength, is enough 4

confidence of the great chemist making tn
offer, who holds out life to those alread
becoming emaciated, and says: "B

The invitation is certainly worthy of th
consideration OF the afflicted, who 10
years, have been taking nauseous nostrum
without effect; who have ostracised then
selves from home and friends to live i
more salubrious chimes, where the atmol
phere is more congenial TO weakened lung
and who have fought against death wit
