Humorous. 
The man who “ feels himself to be dif¬ 
ferent from other men ” shouldn’t always 
brag about it. Dime museum freaks are 
in the same fix — Puck.

you think Miss R would marry me if I

looks I ke a smart sort of a girl—still, she 
might.”—Credit Lost. 
Blinkers : “Hallo, Winkers 1 I hear you

tune.” Winkers (sadly): “N—o; I mar¬ 
ried a fortune with an independent wo¬ 
man .”—Ne w York Weekly. 
Rev. Mr Arlington: “You should al¬ 
ways be particular about details, Miss 
Tucker. It is little things that tell - ” 
Nellie : “ I know that. I have three small

Jones: “What are you doing now for a 
living f” Smith: “I live by writing.” 
“ For the press ? ” “ O, no ; I write to the

more money .”—New Orleans Times Demo¬

Unsatisfactory.— The Butcher: “Did 
you tell Mr. Gore that his bill had been 
running for a long time f ” Collector : 
“ Yes, sir.” The Butcher : “ What did he 
say?” Cillector: He said: “ For heaven’s 
sake let it stand a little while.”— Life. 
Too Transparent. —A recruit was 
brought up for medical inspection, and the 
doctorasked him : “ Have you any deftc^g?” 
“Yes, sir; I am short sighted.” “How do 
you prove it f ” “ Easily enough, doctor. 
Dj you see that nail up yonder on the 
wall ? ” “ Yes.” “ Well, I don’t .”—Motto

Colonel Bluff : “ You might as well 
acknowledge that you stole the chickens, 
uncle. I found a piece of the brown coat

you, c Lionel. I didn’t w’ar a brown coat 
dat night.”— Puck.

the matter with it, even if it is cured 
now 1 Let me have a perfectly healthy one, 
please! ’’—London Punch

Camp life has a peculiar charm: but, to f ully en¬ 
joy it, you must be prepared lor all kinds of 
weather. Did you ever catch your rubber coat ou 
a sharp twig or rough rock, and spoil it the first 
day? Ask any hunter or sportsman who ukes a 
“ Fish Brand Slicker,” how he likes them. He 
will tell you it is tent, blanket, and coat, all in one. 
Light, dry, and warm, and will stand any amount 
of hard usage. No need of being concerned about 
the weather. Why do you wait till it rains, when 
you can be provided for all weather if you buy a 
“Fish Brand Slicker” now? Don’t wait. A day’s 
delay may be the cause of a month’s sickness: can 
you afford to take the risk ? Beware of worthless 
imitations, every garment stamped with the “ Fish 
Brand” Trade Mark. Don’t accent any inferior 
coat when you can have the “ Fish Brand Slicker ” 
delivered without extra cost. Particulars and illus¬

EVERGROWING, EVERGOING, EV¬ 
ERLASTING. STEEL AERMOTOR. 
Where one goes oth¬ 
ers follow, and "we 
jakejhe country.” 
This unprecedented sue- 
[ cess is due: 1st. To the fact 
' that before commencing 
the manufacture, exhaus¬ 
tive scientific investiga¬ 
tion and experiments were made 
SA by a skilled mechanical engineer, 
■k “ j n w hich over 6,000 dynamomet¬ 
ric tests were made on 61 differ¬ 
ent forms of wheels, propelled by artifi¬ 
cial and therefore uniform wind,by which 
were settled definitely many questions 
relating to the proper speed of wheel, 
the best form, angle, curvature and 
amountof sail surface, the resistance of 
air to rotation, obstructions in the 
wheel, such as heavy wooden arms, ob¬ 
structions before the wheel, as in the 
vaneless mill, and numerous other more 
abstruse, though not less important 
questions. These investigations proved 
that the power of the best wind wheels 
could be doubled and the Aermotor 
daily demonstrates it has been done. 
2d. To tlie Jiberal policy of the Aer¬ 
motor Company, that guarantees its 
oods satisfactory or pays freight 
oth ways, and 
3rd. To the enormous output of its 
factory which has made possible a re¬ 
duction of prices so that it furnishes 
the best article at less than the poor¬ 
est is sold for.

of Strong, Stiff Steel, and a Wheel
