And the fisherman swallows the whale;
When the terrapins knit wooden socks,
And the hare is outrun by the snail;
When serpents walk upright like men,
And doodle bugs travel like frogs;
When the grasshopper feeds on the hen,
And feathers are found on the hogs;
When Thomas cats swim in the air,
And elephants roost upon trees,
When insects in summer are rare,
And snuff never makes people sneeze;
When the fish creep over dry land,
And mules on velocipedes ride,
When foxes lay eggs in the sand,
And women in dress take no pride;
When Dutchmen no longer drink beer,
And girls get to preaching on time;
When the billy goat butts from the rear,
And treason no longer is crime;
When the humming bird brays like an ass,
And limburger smells like cologne;
When plowshares are made out OF glass,
And hearts of Tennesseeans are stone;
When sense grows into Republican heads,
And wool on the hydraulic ram;
Then the Democratic party will be dead,
And this country not worth -"

Mrs. M Wri att

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinary Indigestion,
cannot be relieved without medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic,
but has peculiar tonic effect on the fe-
male organism.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright. Brooklyn. N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
g For two years I suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated the entire system that
was unable to attend to my daily duties.

but nothing seemed to help me. I was ad-
vised to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

to find that it acted like fine tonic, and in a
fewdays began to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid, and in
five weeks was a well woman. / have rec

FISH IN NEW PLACES.
Wild Ducks Found to Bear Fish Eggs
.eeady to Hatch.

A correspondent from Safii wrote In
our June issue. expressing his mysti-
fcation as to how small fish come to
be in inclosed waters. A naturalist
suggests an explanation. He says.
If the wild ducks, etc, of Morocco
are similar to those elsewhere there is
no mystery For some years there
was open-mouthed wonder as to how
perch, Dream and crayfish could get
into newly cut dams near the Mac
quarie river in New South Wales.
In some cases the water had hardly
settled after the rain had filed the
dam than the fish were observed and
the farmers started large theory Of
spontaneous production.
This obtained till Sydney profes

so the thread may pass through them
easily as grandma takes a fresh
needle. When one needleful is exhaust
ed. grandma selects the needle farth-
est from the spool. holding it gently
with thumb and forefinger until she
has, with the other hand, pulled as
long thread as she wishes, then re
moves the needle from cushion and
breaks OF thread The used needles
are quilted into cushion at one side,
ready for bright eyes to thread again
some time.
This device is also most useful for
blind persons who like to sew. Place
spool of white thread on one peg and
thread from it row of needles stuck
in the cushion. Put a spool of black
thread on the other, and thread a Sec
ond row of needles, the thread passing
through on the opposite direction
When ready to sew take the needle
farthest from the spool, draw gently
away until a thread long enough is in
hand. then break, and when the thread
is used quilt in the needle to be /
threaded again, and use the next one.
