“ Good morning, Patrick; you have got a 
new coat at last, but it seems to fit you

When, upon inquiry after a young lady’s 
health, we learn from her own lips that she is 
" nicely,” we know that she was born in New 
Eugland, and that she would be “party well”

Of rheumatism, aud further attacks may be 
escaped, if proper precautions against exposure 
. are taken, aud there be no hereditary predisposi¬ 
tion. Unfortunately, people who ultimately be¬ 
come chronic sufferers, too often neglect the tri¬ 
fling twinges aud premonitory stiffness which 
herald the advent of this agonizing malady. 
Among the diseases for which Hostetler’s Bitters 
has been found elfio&cloua tills .13 one, and the 
medicine being perfectly safe, It Is certainly to be 
preferred to drugs used for Its cure, which are fre¬ 
quently useless, and nothing more nor less than 
poisonous. T he substitution of this pleasant aud 
pure blood depurent for modielnos Infintcal to life 
in a sllgUt overdose, is a measure which may fltly 
be urged upon persons who desire to obtain relief 
safely, or who nave failed to obtain it from the 
numerous pseudo remedies for tUls disease In the 
market.

Professional pomposity is well taken off 
in the following anecdote:—Shields doctor 
(looking learned andspeaking slowly): “ Well, 
mariner, which tooth do you want extracted? 
Ib it the molar, or incisor ?” Jack (short and 
sharp: “It is in the upper tier, on the lar¬ 
board side. Bear a hand, you swab, for it is 
nipping my jaw like a lobster 1" 
Street letter boxes are somewhat new ia 
Georgia, and the police have a great deal of 
trouble in keeping them in their places. A 
countryman came into Macon the other day 
and wanted to feed his horse. Not seeing a 
box convenient, he tore off the top of one of 
the post-office boxes and fed his horse in it. 
An uptown jeweller hnng a watch in his 
window and labelled it "Look at this watch 
for $10," and the unsophisticated gentleman 
from Africa who stared at the article and then 
went in and wanted the $10, had to get down 
on the floor with the jeweller and roll over and 
under him a number of times before he could 
be made to understand that he couldn't have 
any $10 .—Boston Post.
