"It's remarkable how much we can go
through in this world and still live" OBJ
served the circus girl as she did her SOM
ersault-through.the -hoop-oi-hre act.
nnd In the June Bookman three an
ecdotes, all OF them strictly true, that the
editor'o that literary magazine profess
ses to believe cast a somewhat lurid light
upon the literary culture of East, South
and West respectively. The scene OF the
first is laid i'm Providence, where young
lady was asked the other day by her
uncle to make some'purchases for him,
Of which he gave her written list. The
first item was "Scott's Emulsion" and
after glancing at it tho intelligent young
woman made straight for certain large
book shop, where she was received by
an equally intelligent salesman.
III want copy of Scott's Emulsion"
said she casually.
"Scott's what?" said the clerk.
"scott's Emulsion," replied the mai
den
you see, we don't sell scott's works ex
cept in complete sets"
Names, location and date seem TO be
lacking In proving this TO be "strictly
true" but maybe it is.
NY attention has been called to the pa
tbetic fact that Rhode Island is one Of the
fcx Mt In, ha Int. h,t hoo yolr
name-and neither has the city of Provi-
dence & nickname. The cities that have
nicknames are comparatively few, but IL is
not easily explained why the State should
not have one
In recent years it is become popular to
refer to the State as "Littlo Rhody," and
perhaps that will become eventually fixed
as our nickname. II Is quite as pretty
and significant as anything that could be
asked for. It's queer we haven't been
called the "Clam State," before now.
The clam is characteristic product and
from such familiar factors In fame have
many OF the states beon named-Ohio,
"Thes Buckeye; Connecticut, the "Nut-
meg" ;Caliiornia the" Golden" ;Kentucky,
the "Blue Grass; Nevada, the" "Silver'';
New Hampshire, the "Granite"; South
Carolina, the Palmetto; Wisconsin, the
"Badger"; Alabama, the "Cotion"
State, and so on.
] read this in the Boston Advertiser:
"Yes, it does appear that the Republi-
cans were badly beaten in the local elec-
tion at Scituate, IL. l., but what can you
expect in place founded by people who
did not know how to spell?''
After pondering over IL some time /
"saw it,"
Are you eating June butter-the most
delicious butter product of all the year
with the marvellous flavor Of the juicy,
young grass in 1t?
HIM. Nice isn't it3
But have been reading that the much
loved grass flavor is not the flavor OF
grass at ALL Although you FUSED 10
couldn't" get June butter except in June
the flavor OF IL was not by any means due
to the young June grass. The flavor, SO
read, Is due TO June microbe. The

ing from an effect 10 wrong cause, the
forming OF judgment without sufficient
investigation Of facts.
. 60 It has been discovered that IL is n
June microbe that makes the June milk, |
the June cream and the June butter |
delicious, and q very nice sort OF a |
microbe IL Is, too--not one OF the wicked |
kind.
There arc microbes aud microbes Just
the samo as there are cats and cats
And men and men.
And now that the scientists have found |
this much out about June butter, we can |
have June butter all the year around NY |
simply ouItiyating the June tutter mi.
crobe and installing him whero the |
October, November, December and other |
microbes have been in evidence in -lhe !
flavor OF butter.
And, of course bv this same sign, we |
can have June bgttsrino.
