The Third Man Paid.

Three friends who had been spend
ing the evening at their club agreed
that the one who did not do as his
wife told him when he got home
should pay for an oyster supper.
Smith, in trying to find the matches
trod on the cat
That's right" said his wife, waking
up; kill the poor cat, and have done
with it,
"Well,' thought Smith, I'll have
to kill the cat or pay for the supper"
So he killed the cat.
Brown was no less fortunate when
he arrived home. In the dark he
stumbled against the piano.
why don't you break the piano ?''
demanded his wife.
Brown at once broke the piano.
When Jones got home he stumbled
on the top step of the staircase.

Emerson AS Art Critic.

When Emerson, at Concord, in 1879
saw his bust, modelled by Daniel Ches-
ter French, he remarked approvingly
after looking at it intently, "That is
the face that 1 shave"-not altogether
an unconscious tribute to the fidelity
of the work, for he recognized that
in detail it conforlned to nature
Turning to another bust of himself
that stood in the room, portrait
quite without character, he said
This one is as harmless as parsnip y
The philosopher, thus, in homely
speech, gave very good art criticism,
and one that in general terms may
be applied to all of French's work.

FOOD FOR A KING.

Germany's ruler cares for game,
feathered game, more than for any
other Wand, affecting a special fond
ness for salmi or stew made of
thrushes.
The prince of Wales probably has the
art of dining down as fine as any gen.
tleman, titled or otherwise, in the
world. What he doesn't know about
dining and the like isn't worth know
ing.
Queen Victoria in her earlier years,
though perhaps not being strictly
speaking a gourmet, was fond of good
things and plenty of them, but of late
she has to shade down both quality
and quantity, till she is almost ON the
verge of being a vegetarian.
Queen Wilhelmina has an appetite
that would do credit to any peasant in
her domain, and no fnicky things for
her, if you please. She will have roast
beef, mutton and fillet of beef and
rump steak as her regular diet, and at
her feasts on great occasions, also, if
she can have her own way.
Christina, queen regent of Spain,
goes in for roast beef. It isn't that she
is over fond of this diet herself, but she
believes firmly in its strength-produc-
ing virtues, and she in this way sets
her young son an example, for the
young king needs considerable toning
up by way of diet.
You wouldn't believe it from those
fierce mustaches of his, but King Hum.
bert of Italy has so great an affection
for custards, and very sweet ones al
that, that he would get up in the night
to partake of one. To vary the custard

Iwould cry, realizing what pain he was in.
His pitiful wailing was heart-rending. I
had about given up hope of saving him when
l was urged to give him Hoods Sarsaparilla,
all other treatment having failed 1 washed
the sores with Hoods Medicated Soap, ap-
piled Hoods Olive Ointment and gave him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. The child seemed to
get better every day, and very soon the
change was quite noticeable. The discharge
grew less, inflammation went down, the skin
took on healthy color, and the raw flesh
began to scale over and thin skin formed
as the scales dropped off. Less than two bot
ties of Hoods Sarsaparila, aided by Hoods
Medicated Soap and Hoods Olive Ointment,
accomplished this wonderful cure. l cannot
