Cured of Boosting.

A Frenchman was Boosting, that he
had thoroughly mastered the English
language, when he was asked to write
from dictation the following specimen of
our choice eccentric vernacular:
'As Hugh Hughes was hewing q Yule
log from a yeW tree, a man dressed in
garments of dark hue came up to
Hugh and said: Have you seen my
ewes" To which he replied: If you
will wait until I hew this yew,' I will GO
with you to look for your ewes"
After an attempt the Frenchman adj
mitted his mistake. He used to imag-
inc he was used to English speaking, but
he would be more careful how he used
the language in future.-London Tit

How often do we hear women say: "It
seems as though my back would break, %
or Don't speak to me, am all out of
sorts? These significant remarks prove
that the system requires attention.
Backache and 6 the blues'' are direct
symptoms of an inward trouble which
will sooner or later declare itself. 1t
may be caused by diseased kidneys or
some arrangement of the organs.
Nature requires assistance and at once,
and Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound instantly asserts its curative
powers in all those peculiar ailments of
women. It has been the standby of
intelligent American women for twenty
years, and the best judges agree that
it is the most universally success

medicine.
