CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE. 
When ladies pack their furs away, 
The seals and minks and sables, 
And wear the linen and piques 
And snowy lawns, with ribbons gay. 
The market stalls present each day 
A most bewildering array 
Of early vegetables. 
And they enjoy who have the means 
Corned beef with various kinds of greens. 
—Boston Courier. 
Moves in the highest circles—Saturn.— The 
Age. 
Don’t Be A Clam. You might get in the 
soup.— Puck. 
When Time shall hang up his scythe he will 
be no mower.— The Age. 
There is no use for garden vegetables com¬ 
peting for prizes at an agricultural fair—the 
cabbage will always be a head.— Farm Jour¬ 
nal. 
Billow-shams are going out of style, it is 
said. This is not true of most other shams, 
which were never in greater vogue.— Lowell 
Courier. 
“Whatever you do, my boy, begin at the 
bottom and work up.” “But, father, suppose 
I was going to dig a well?”— Town and Coun¬ 
try Journal. 
There is only the difference of an “s” be¬ 
tween woman’s weakness and man’s weakness. 
One is gossip and the other is go sip.—TYas/t- 
ington Critic.

to tho emergency, and quietly responded: 
“At the parsonage.” —Yarmouth Register. 
City Man: “Is this locality healthy?” 
Country Man: “Healthy? You bet we’re

A great actor is often 
called a “star,” because 
of his great success. It is 
right to give honor where 
due. Some men stand out 
more prominently than 
others by merit. It is true 
of Phenol Sodique, also, 
that it merits its great 
name by curing ourns, 
scalds, wounds, allaying 
fevers and soothing’ the 
sick. Keep it near you 
ready for use in emergencies, for these will come, 
sooner or later, to every one. Price, 50 cents.
