His Red Tie Scheme.

1t was the morning after, when peni-
tential bromo and Nile-green resolu-
tons were paramount.
by all that's proper, Harry, what are
you putting on that red tie for?" de-
manded the other man.
The cravat was deeper red than the
peoples know, and against the white of
clean linen it was almost insultingly
effulgent.
"Part Of my SYSTEM" replied Harry.
See my eyes? Not pretty, are they?
Prima facie evidence Of indiscretions.
And that nose! Well, don't you know,
If wear this tie, everybody will look at
1t so hard they'll never see my face.

pie never saw anything but that tie.

Limit to His Capacity.

Senator Mason of Illinois, when last
in New York. was asked if he thought
that Senator Morgan's reputation of
being the longest-winded speaker in
the United States was founded on
facts. The Illinoisan replied:
II am not certain that senatorial
courtesy will permit me to answer that
question; and, being candidate for
reelection, will dodge it. But this /
will say: once asked Senator Nor
gan how long he could talk on a sub
ject' he didn't know anything about,
and he replied: TT didn't know any
thing at all about it, I don't think l
could talk more Than three days about

Former Perfumes,

Our forefathers We're great people for
scents, perfumes, fragrant herbs and
spices, and the astounding amount of
seasoning they put in the simplest
dishes prepares one for almost any
combination. When, to make cherry
tart, they found it necessary to make
q syrup of cinnamon, ginger and "sawn-
ders," and to add rosewater to the ic-
ing, one can imagine how they set to
work to cook cormorant. Perhaps if
we remind our readers that many
of the chambers were provided with
''draughts," that occasionally required
cleaning, and that rushes took the place
of carpets, they will realize one of the
reasons for perfumes. Sweet waters
were occasionally sprinkled under the
rushes in great houses, or for revels, or
on the mattresses and bedding.-Good

Rheumsti.,n Cured mt Last.

Lake Sarah, Mimi, May 12th.--Thou-
sands will read with pleasure that a
cure for Rheumatism has at last been
found.
A Mrs. Hildebrandt Of this place,
after trying very many medicines, has
recently found a. successful remedy for
this painful disease.
This woman suffered so with the
rheumatism in her arms that sleep or
rest became impossible.
She heard of Dodd's Kidney Pills, but
having little faith in anything, was
very reluctant to spend any more mon
ey for medicine.
However, she decided to try one box
and this helped her SO much that she
continued to usa the Pills. Now she
says:

to express my thanks to Dodd's Kidney
Pills for what they have done for me-"
