“Do we eat too much,” asked the “ Detroit 
Free Press,” and out of five dozen boarding¬ 
house keepers, sixty answered in the affirma¬ 
tive. 
Some young men went out the other night to 
“have a little time.” They had just as little 
time as thov wanted to get out of a neighbor¬ 
ing orchard, and a vicious dog had all the fun. 
“ Caesar.” said a good-natured gentleman 
to his colored man, “ I did not know till to¬ 
day that you had been whipped last week.” 
“ Didn’t you, massa ?" replied Ciesar; “ I 
knowed it at the time." 
A certain doctor of divinity said every 
blade of giass was a sermon. The next day 
he was amusing himself by clipping his lawn, 
when a parishioner said, “ That’s right, doctor, 
«ut your sermons short." 
Teacher —“Suppose that you have two 
sticks of candy, and your big brother gives 
you two more ; how many have you got then ?” 
Little Boy (shaking his head)—“You don't 
know him. He aint that kind of a boy.” 
An elderly resident of Newtown was ap¬ 
proached by an ageut for a cyclopaedia. *' I 
guess I wou't get one,” said the elderly resi¬ 
dent, and frankly added, “ 1 know I never 
could learn to ride one of the pesky things.” 
“ I understand that Dr. Jones is abroad,” 
said Brown; “ is he traveling for his health ?” 
“ I suspect," said Fogg, “ that he is traveling 
for his patient’s health. 1 know one of them 
who has improved on his traveling added 
Fogg, with energy.—Boston Transcript. 
A Memphis man wanted to kill a mosquito 
on the back of a friend's neck, and without 
stopping to mention his design, hit the insect 
a belt, aud when his friend got up and brushed 
the sand out of his mouth aud eyes, four men 
had to hold him while the matter was ex¬ 
plained. 
One of the New York wholesale dry goods 
houses has a new clerk whose father from the 
country went in to see him the other day and 
was surprised to learn that all the salesmen 
had nickuames. He asked the floor walker 
why his son was called “Jury.” “Oh,” was 
the reply, “he is always sitting on cases.” 
A TOUNo man with an umbrella over-took 
an unprotected lady acquaintance in a rain¬ 
storm, and extending his umbrella over her 
requested the pleasure of acting as her rain¬ 
bow. “ Oh !” exclaimed the young lady, tak¬ 
ing bis arm, “you wish me to be your rain- 
dear.” Two souls with but a single umbrella, 
two f 3rms that stepped as one. 
Not long ago an Irishman applied to an 
overseer in a Tyne shipyard to be put on a job. 
He was informed that his request could not be 
complied with; but as Pat continued to gaze 
at an anchor which was lying in the vicinity 
the foreman repeated his reply that there was 
no work for him and advised him to go away. 
“ Divil a bit will I stir, sorr, till I Bee the man 
that’s going to use that pick!" 
The London Church Times tells the story 
of some Sunday-school children taken for a 
picnic to the seaside. One of the teachers 
asked her scholars how they liked the sea. 
“Very much, miss,” replied a child; “but 
where are the tinnamies ?” “The tinnamies, 
my child! What do you mean?” “Why. 
you know,” the child replied again, “ the 
tinnamies that go with the sea. You know 
the commandment sayB, * the sea aud all that 
tinnamies,’” This was the way the child had 
been repeating “ the sea and all that in them 
is.”

Cause aud EIFeet. 
The stomach Is accountable for more headaches, 
nervousness and general physical derangement 
than any other organ. These effects, of which 
Ha weakness and derangement are the cause, are 
ot course oulv to be permanently remedied by a 
medicine which restores its regularity. The pri¬ 
mal actioti of HoRtetter's Stomach Bitters la upon 
the stomach, the equable action of which It re¬ 
news. As a consequence, the aaooclate organs, 
the bowels and liver, regain activity and vigor, 
and the brain and nervous system generally ex¬ 
perience quietude, which they never can while the 
gastric and bilious functions are disturbed. Infi¬ 
nitely greater bodily comfort Is derivable from a 
systematic! course of this genial medicine, than Is 
to he found In a recourse to heady stimulants, and 
local “ tonics " and “ appetizers," so-called, the 
alcoholic principal of which, usually llcry. Is un¬ 
medicated by the admixture of botanic remedial 
constituents.
