follows to the secretary of the society : “ Enter 
me also for a jackass.” And he took the prize. 
Fitz nuou Ludlow, in his narrative of 
travel in “ The Heart of the Continent," tells of 
an eccentric genius who improved on the old 
yarn to the effect that “ the weather would 
have been colder if the thermometer had been 
longer,” by saying he had been where “it was 
so cold that the thermometer got down off the 
nail.” 
A Newcastle man had occasion to appease 
the demand of the inner man at a London 
restaurant the other day. On calling for the 
dll, he paid it, and was leaving, when the 
waiter suggtllted that the amount did not in¬ 
clude the waiter. “Ah,” said the man from 
the extreme North, “ but I didn’t eat the 
waiter.” 
Scene at a w edding breakfast—company all 
seated about the table. A pause in the general 
conversation. Happy husband to his wife’s 
little sister at the other end of the room.— 
“Well. Julie, you have anew brother now.” 
Julie.—“Yes, but mother said to papa the 
other day that she was afraid you would never 
amount to much, but it seemed to be Sarah’s 
last chance." 
“ Baboo” English Histobt.— That native 
Hindoo students are acquiring a mastery not 
only of correct expression, but of accurate 
English historical knowledge, is shown by the 
following extract from an essay on Cromwell 
by a Baboo, which appears iu the Allahabad 
Pioneer:—“Oliver Cromwell was a very stem 
man. He destroyed Charles I. by repeated 
beheadals. After ibis he was never seen to 
smile, but was frequently heard pensively to 
murmur, ‘If I had only served my God as I 
have served my king, he would not have de¬ 
serted me in my old age.’ ” 
Nantucket fishermen are credited with the 
power of being able to sniff the land when 
some distance out at sea. An old skipper w r as 
said to possess this power to such a degree 
that, by a mere smell of the lead after sounding 
had boon taken, he could discover his boat’s 
position. Sending for the instrument one night 
when he was too champagned to leave his 
berth, some one, anxious to test his faculty, 
inserted the end of it in a flower-pot contain¬ 
ing a small rose-tree. The skipper sniffed at 
it in the dark, and then exclaimed: “Why, 
Nantucket must have sunk, and we are over 
Mother Brown’s garden.” 
Quite recently a gentleman giving a dinner¬ 
party was persuaded, mueh against his wishes, 
to allow' his young Hopeful, a spoilt child, to 
join the company. ~

A Compound of Cocoanut Oil, 
For Promoting the Growth and Pre¬ 
serving the Beauty of the Hair. 
It softens the hair when harsh and dry. It soothes 
the irritated scalp. It allords the richest lustre. 
It prevents the hair from falling off. It promotes 
its healthy, vigorous growth. It is not greasy nor 
sticky. It leaves no disagreeable odor. It kills 
dandruff. 
Thinking that many of 
the rich dishes were not good for the hoy, he 
objected to his partaking of them, but eventu¬ 
ally gave way on the child threatening, “If 
I’m not allowed to have it, I’ll tell!” This 
went On for some time, until the father made 
a stand, refusing firmly to let the boy have any 
wine, adding, “and you may tell if you like.” 
Amidst roars of laughter, the child at once 
called out, with glee, “ My new knickerbock¬ 
ers are made out of a pair of ma’s old cur¬ 
tains 1” 
A clergyman was called upon on one occa¬ 
sion to officiate at a colored wedding. “ We 
assure you, sah, ’ said the gentlemauly darkey, 
“ dat dis yere wedding, sail, is to be berry much 
in dc fashion, sah.” “Very well,” replied the 
clergyman, “I will try to do Everything in my 
power to gratify the wishes of the parties.” 
So, after the dinner and dancing and supper 
were over, the groom’s “best man” called 
again on the minister, and left him a ten-dollar 
fee. “ I hope everything was us your friend 
desired it ?" said the urbane clergyman. “Well, 
sah, to tell de trut, Mr. Johnson was a little 
disappointed," answered the groom’s man. 
“ Why, I took my robes I" said the minister. 
“ Yes, sah—it wasn't dat.” “I adhered to the 
rubrics of the Church.” “ Yes. sah, dat w as 
all right.” “I was punctual, and shook hands 
wdth the couple. Whut more could I do?” 
“ Well, sah, Mr. Johuson he kind o’ felt hurt, 
you see, ’case you didn’t salute de bride.”

The True Way to Invigorate, 
The true way to Invigorate a feeble system Is to 
Infuse activity Into the operations of the stomach, 
that wondrous alemb c In which the food Is trans¬ 
muted Into the constituents of blood, the chief ele¬ 
ment of our vitality. Hostetler’s Stomach Bitters, 
because It accomplishes this cud, Is greatly to be 
preferred to many so-called tonics, useful indeed 
as appetizers, but Inoperative as aids to digestion 
and aaslmllat on. Tbls sterling cordial, while It 
Invigorates the stomach, healthfully stimulates the 
liver, bowels and kidneys, Insuring the escape 
through the regular channels of effete and useless 
matter thrown off by the system, which is thus 
purified as well as lnvtg rated by It. Its tonic In¬ 
fluence is soon made manifest by an increase of 
vital energy and a more active and regular dis¬ 
charge of every physical function, and it has the 
further effect of rendering the system unassailable 
by malarial epidemics.
