Humorous. 
If you feel that you must give advice, 
become a lawyer or a doctor, and sell it. 
Atchison Olobe. 
“Have you seen those noiseless babt 
carriages yet? ” “No! What I want is 
a noiseless baby.”— Credit Lost. 
Dora. : “ He said there was one thing 
about me he didn’t like.” Cora : “ What 
was that?” “Another man’s arm.”— 
LUe. 
Tragedian : “ I was nearly killed once 
by the bursting of a shell.” Manager : 
“ Did you ever find out who threw the 
egg.”— Puck. 
Miner: “So you have just returned 
from Klondyke, eh ? ” Claimer : “Yes.” 
Miner: “What is the principal game 
played in that country ? ” Claimer : 
“ Freeze out.”— Norristown Herald. 
Bobbie : “ Ethel, mamma has just 
promised me something nice and warm. 
Give me half your candy and you can 
have it.” Ethel: “Here’s the candy. 
Now what is it?” Bohbie (munching): 
A spanking.”— Life. 
“I suppose you talked about other 
women at the sewing society this after¬ 
noon,” said Mr. Cawker to his wife 
“ Yes,” replied Mrs. Cawker. “ Women 
are not so conceited as men, who talk 
about themselves.”— Harper's Iiazar. 
Daughter (sentimentally): “Ah. 
mother ! the summer wanes. How beau¬ 
tifully it dies ! Soon we will have the 
frost.” Mother (who has tried ten sea¬ 
sons to get the girl off her hands): “Oh, 
pshaw ! You have had nothing but a 
‘ frest’ all summer ! ”— Puck. 
Mrs. De Temper : “I am not happy 
with my husband. Shall I drive him 
away?” Lawyer: “ His life is insured 
in your favor, isn’t it ? ” “ Yes ; I made 
him do that before we married.” “ Well, 
don’t drive him off. He ’ll die quicker 
where he is.”— New York Weekly. 
“ Why, papa,” said Frances, who was 
looking at the family album, “ surely 
this isn’t a picture of you?” “Yes,” 
replied papa, “that is a picture of me, 
taken when I was quite young.” “Well,” 
commented the little girl, “ it doesn’t 
look as much like you as you look now.” 
—Harper s Bazar. 
Mrs Greene : “ Dr. Jalap is such a 
nice man ! And he is so reasonable in 
his charges, too 1 He only charged $2 
to-day. He said that there really was 
nothing the matter with me, and that 
all I wanted was good food and all the 
rest I could get.” Mrs. Browne : “Do 
you call that cheap ? Why, Dr. Stickem, 
the last time I called on him, said I had 
a complication of diseases—just think of 
that, a complication of diseases !—and 
he only charged me $3 50 for ail that. 
Talk of cheapness ! "—Boston Transcript

STRIKE OIL! 
The real food element of corn is the essential 
oil carbon which keeps up the internal heat 
ofthe animal economy. The best way to get 
corn oil is by reducinggrain to meal andallow 
the animal to extiactit. There is no loss in this 
process. The best way to make meal is with the
