Comment That Stuna.

The marquis of Lansdown, leader
of unionist peers in the British parlia-
ment, speaks rarely but always with
effect He revels in grave sarcasm.
On one OCCASION Lord Crewe, the lib
eral leader, made a speech on a subject
which he desired to leave a matter
for open voting among his followers.
Lord Lansdowne congratulated his
friend on his eloquent speech. Il
have followed it," he said, with earn
est attention not only on account OF
the Importance of the subject but also
on account Of the noble lords judicial
attitude. I admired his earnestness
and eloquence, but what impressed me
most was his impartiality." A pause.
Eyes, until the last minute l did not
know on which side Of the fence his
lordship was coming down."

Mark Twain's Neat Answs.

Eugene Ware, of Topeka, recently
wrote to Mark Twain: II picked up

like bob-tailed flush. l could not lay

New York city, Mr.. Clemens answered
back as follows: Dear Mr.. Ware:

fire-assayed Presbyterian. with II
years experience in unworldliness,
and l don't understand your meta
phor, but know it was intended as
a compliment and l make it cordially

ANIMALS THAT SHED TEARS.
Travellers Observations Have Proved
That Weeping Is Common.

Travellers through the Syrian desert
have seen horses weep from thirst,
mule has been seen to cry from the
pain of an injured foot and camels,
it is said, shed tears in streams, Tys
a writer In Harper's Weekly. A Cow
sold by its mistress who had tended
young soko ape used to cry from vexa-
ton IL Livingston didn't nurse it in
his arms when 1t asked him to.
Wounded apes have died crying. and
apes have wept over their young slain
by hunters. A chimpanzee trained to
carry water jugs broke one and fell
a-crying, which proved sorrow, though
it wouldn't mend the jug. Rats, dis
covering their young drowned, have
been moved to tears. A giraffe which
a huntsman's rifle had injured began
to cry when approached. Sea lions
often weep over the loss OF their
young. Gordon Cummings obseA led
tears trickling down the face of afNy-
ing elephant. And even an orang-
outang when deprived of its mango
was so vexed that it took to weeping.
There is little doubt, therefore, that
animals do cry from grief or weep
from pain or annoyance.

Safe, sure and SPEEDY.

No external remedy ever yet de-
vised has so fully and unquestionably
met these three prime conditions as
successfully as Allcock's Plasters
They are safe because they contain
no deleterious drugs and are manu-
featured upon scientific principles of
medicine. They are sure because
nothing goes into them except ingre-
dents which are exactly adapted to
the purposes for which a plaster is re-
CURED. They are speedy in their ac-
ton because their medicinal qualities
go right to their work of relieving
pain and restoring the natural and
healthy performance of the functions
of muscles, nerves and skin.
Allcocks Plasters are the original
and genuine porous plasters and like
most meritorious articles have been
extensively initiated, therefore always
make sure and get the genuine.
