TinDing the Butcher.

Did you ever buy your own steaks and get the worst in the shop nearly every time? An old friend has had that misfortune, and he is always will ing to pay two or three cents more a pound than any other customer. Hay ing listened calmly to his tale of woe, 1 inquired if he had acquired the practice of tipping the butcher. Tip ping the butcher? No! He thought it was a sufficient tip to offer the two or three cents more a pound. ''That offer." tried to explain, ''gOes to the proprietor direct, or his block man thinks yon are trying to make a thief of him by Inducing him to hold out for himself the extra price. It will never work.
 "Just say to your cutter: See here, old chap, I've been dissatisfied with my steaks for some time. Come out and take a drink, and tell me how to select good meat He's too busy Then slip a dime into his hand and say, Have q glass of beer when you get out or a quarter and say, Have q smile with me when you have time Repeat this performance and presently yOur steaks are the delight of home. Tn the busiest private market in New York it is the rule to tip the butchers. You can get nothing fit to eat with out it."-- New York Press.

If one Frenchman chooses to murder another within its bounds it will be none of Uncle Sam's business.
 The quarters of the present French embassy are intimately associated with the life of Washington. The mansion was built just seventy-five years ago by Richard Rush, statesman and dip.o- matist The year before it's foundations began to rise Rush had been recalled from the ministry to Great Britain to be Secretary of the Treasury under John Quincy Adams. In tLe '4O's Rush vacated the house upon his appoint ment by President Polk as Minister to France. Shortly afterward Hamilton Fish. then in Congress, moved in and remained until retiring from the Senate in 1857. Fish added large ballroom to the right of the house proper. The

To these blue tickets were awarded; to others of in feriOr mold, white.
 At one function, through some mis management, an important public man received a blue card, while white one was sent to bis wife.

 MT. Eli Potts is a well-known citi- zen of Waverly, Ohio, having been in business there for fourteen years. He is a veteran of the Mexican war, in which he served with Company H, of the Fourteenth Tennessee regiment. At the age of 76 he bears the respect of all who know him, and the follow ing experience. related by him, is raised beyond all doubt by the high character of the narrator. He says:
 About seven years ago a disease fastened upon me which, as it devel- oped. proved to be l0comotor ataXla. I became very nervous, could not walk without having dizzy spells, anu did not sleep well. As the disease ad- vanced 1 lost control of my muscles and could only walk a short distance. could not control the direction of my steps and was always afraid of falling.
 This continued until the fall of 1897. when there was a breaking down of my entire system. My stomach was in bad condition, and I suffered greatly with kidney trouble caused by being thrown out of buggy.
 About two years ago saw Dr. Will Hams Pink Pills for Pale People ad- veTtised in a Cincinnati Apaper. The ease cured was similar to mine, and l gave the pills a trial. Very soon after began taking them I experienced re lief. and, as the improvement cOntin- ued, I tock the pills regularly. Grad ually the control of the muscles wds restored and my general health inn proved. The dizzy feeling left me and has never returned. From my own eX- perience I know that Dr. Williams Pink Pills are great remedy, and l am pleased to recommend them to any one who suffers as I did"
