A maiden In Boston he wanted to klsa 
AlthouKh 'twere a kiss frappe, 
Bnt when he attempted to osculate her 
The maiden had something to say, 
To-wlt: 
" Bzcnse me, dear ^lr, If I seem to be rude. 
But bacteriological bliss 
Is not what I want, and kiss me ron cawn’t 
For microbes exist In a kiss.” 
—Detroit Free Press. 
“ Susie (of 10) : “ Ethel, what is a 
marriasreable age ? ’’ Ethel (of 26) : 
“ Anywhere between 15 and death.”— 
Puck. 
‘'Welu, I don’t care; there’s one ad¬ 
vantage in having low ceilings,” said 
Mrs Oldhouse to Mrs. Newhouse ; “ you 
can slap mosquitoes better .”—Boston 
Courier. 
Little Charley : “ Papa, will you buy 
me a drum ?” Fond Father : “Ah, hut. 
my boy, you will disturb me very much 
if I do.” Charley: “Oh, no, papa, I 
won’t drum except when you are asleep.” 
-lid-Bits. 
Oroom : “ I say, will you see the min¬ 
ister for me. I—I—quite forgot the wed¬ 
ding fee.” Father-in-law: “Young man, 
you are beginning early. I expected you 
hack from your wedding tour before this 
began.”— Life. 
“Call these fine cattle?’’said a big 
countryman at an agricultural show, 
where for some time he had been annoy¬ 
ing the exhibitors by depreciating their 
stock. “ They ain’t nothin’ to what my 
folks raise. Why, my father raised the 
biggest calf of any farmer round our 
part.” “ Ah,” said a bystander, looking 
at him; “ we can quite believe that!”— 
London Tld-Bits. 
PiNCHCASH (excitedly) : “ What in 
thunder do you mean by publishing that 
obituary notice of me ? I ain’t dead, not 
by a longways.” The Editor (calmly): 
“Well, well! It does look that way, 
doesn’t it? You see, I sent you more 
than 20 le’ters asking you to come in and 
pay something on the 14 years’ subscrip¬ 
tion you owe. I didn’t get an answer or 
see anything of you, and I thought sure 
you must be dead. S'pose you settle, and 
I’ll print a retraction free of charge. 
Thanks; that’s just the right change. 
Come in again .”—Fireside Companion.

P Arc frequently unsatisfactory because of the construction of the 
apparatus in which Dr. Babcock's process is used. It is a mis¬ 
take to buy a cheap Babcock Tester. You had better have 
none. Because, tests made in a cheap Tester cannot be depended 
upon. Our apparatus, with 40 turns of the crank, gives 1080 
revolutions of the bottles ; with 60 turns of the crank, 1620 rev¬ 
olutions of the bottles. We also furnish Testers to be run by Steam 
Motor or by Belt Power. 
Buy one of our Testers and you will have something to be depend¬ 
ed upon to give the required speed so necessary for a perfect test.
