ROSES. 
THE PLAINT OF THE BELLE 
I dread the very sight of them; 
My tired eye closes 
At glimpse of blush, or bud, or stem 
Of proffered roses. 
To sniff them all, I’d need, at least, 
A dozen noses; 
I’m sure my nostrils have Increased 
From smelling roses. 
For too much of a good thing, mark, 
One’s mind disposes 
To base Ingratitude—then, bark— 
Don’t send me roses! 
I know this edict seems unkind; 
It so forecloses 
Thelsatisfactlon that men find 
In buying roses. 
Why can’t they guess that woman needs 
For all ,her poses. 
Gloves, laces, slippers, fans and beads 
Far more than roses? 
Ab, no! My future’s door ajar 
But this discloses— 
More men who struggle from afar 
To bring me roses.

Extremes meet when the tips of your 
half-frozen ears brush against the sealskin cap 
which is burning your brain into a fever- 
heat. — Puck.

Mr. Delawney: “Why don’t you do something faw yaw own living ? You had bettah

THYMO-CRKSOL (The Cold-Water 
Dip): u /f has been with us notably suc¬ 
cessful in curing Scab in Sheep , in an ad¬ 
vanced stage. We have found the growth 
of the wool materially promoted by dip¬ 
ping Sheep in it early in autumn . It de¬ 
stroys Lice on Colts , is a most useful dressing for the Eoofs of Horsts y 
and a valuable remedy in casts of Grease and Thrush. We have found 
it a speedy cure for Mange , and as a Disinfectant and Purifier its 
merits cannot be too highly commended . In fact , the limits of its use¬ 
fulness to the stock-breeder are difficult to realize^ and here we should 
be inclined to feel quite helpless without it. 1 * Imported only by

An unsucce;sfui lover was asked by what 
means he lost his divinity. “Alas,” cried be, 
“1 flattered her until she got too proud to 
speak to me.”—Indiana Farmer. 
Little Passenger (on incoming ocean 
steamship)—“Mrs. Me Ginnis, what do folks 
mean by saying there is a wake behind the 
vessel?” Mrs. McGinnis—“Sure, now isn’t it a 
wake since we started.”— Philadelphia Re¬ 
cord. 
First Oyster (at a Church Fair): “There 
were three of us at first. What has become of 
the other one?” Second Oyster (inclined to 
be slangy): “He’s ‘in the soup.’”— Phila¬ 
delphia Record. 
“Dad can tell the time without looking at 
his watch,” said little Johnnie. “When I ask 
him in the morning, he says it is time to get 
up, and when I ask him at night he says it is 
ime to go to bed.”— New York Sun. 
Editor: “That little item of yours yester¬ 
day reminded me strongly of some of Shakes¬ 
peare’s work. “Funnyman (blushing): “Ah, 
thank you. It is kind of you to say so. In 
what respect,may I inquire? “Editor (coldly): 
In age, principally.”— Washington Post 
“Did that lady buy anything?” asked the 
jeweller of his new boy, as the lady in ques¬ 
tion left the store, apparently in a temper. 
“She did not. She asked me for an old gold 
breastpin, and I asked her if she took this 
store for a junk-shop. Then she went out.”— 
Jewellers' 1 Weekly. 
Mrs. Jason: “Jehiel, I’ve had the awfulest 
scare. I opened the door and found the 
worst-looking tramp I ever saw. Why, I 
could’nt say a word for ten minutes.” Mr. 
Jason: “Do jou know which way he went? 
I would like to get his make-up if it had that 
effect.”— Terre Haute Express. 
“You must feel some satisfaction in eating 
the turkey that chased you around the yard a 
week ago,” said the minister. “He was a very 
saucy bird when alive, wasn’t he?” “Yes,” 
replied little Johnnie, “and ma said when you 
got through there would be nothing left but 
the cranberry sauce.”— N. Y. Sun.
