A SERIOUS QUESTION. 
In reading the story of Jonah and the whale, 
There arises the serious question: 
Was it ground for a solemn, miraculous tale, 
Or merely the whale’s Indigestion? 
—Merchant Traveler. 
A Russian sigh—Siberia.— Texas Siftings. 
“ Man overbored I” —The editor.— Adver¬ 
tiser and Farmer. 
A Tug is the only thing (hat has its toes be¬ 
hind. — Toronto Empire. 
Query: Is the wheelwright better than 
his felloes?— Advertiser and Farmer. 
It is wrong to call a dude a donkey. He is 
merely a clothes horse.— Valley Chronicle. 
A miss may be as good as a mile; but she’s 
lucky in not having to buy stockings for as 
many feet.— Puck. 
Why not call them hay widows? Hay is 
grass with the greenness squeezed out. 
—Peoria Transcript. 
A Slender woman should make an econom¬ 
ical wife, because there is so little waist about 
her.— Burlington Gazette. 
Some men are like toads—you have to poke 
them with a stick before they make their 
biggest jump.— The Judge. 
A little girl being asked, “ What is noth¬ 
ing?” replied: “ Shut your eyes and you will 
see it.”— Texas Farm and Ranch.

there is no such thing as stone? Because they 
never saw it — Michigan Farmer.

by an electric-light plant?” Electric currents^ 
of course.”— Terra Haute Express.

Materia Medica in the University’ of the City
