The American “ bud ” balls have been introduced 
into England. Girls under fifteen wear Rose-buds in 
their first infancy of bloom; those under twenty 
wear half-opened buds, and those over that age wear 
full-blown Roses. It would be interesting to know if 
the demand for full-blown is greater in England than 
in this country.

drawn but rather understated.”

NEWSPAPER WAIFS. 
Why is a chicken’s leg like a turtle-dove?—Be¬ 
cause it cannot get along without its mate. 
“Are we in a comet?” frantically asks the New 
York Star. If we are, the wake may as well begin, 
for a comet-ose condition usually is followed by 
death.— Pittsburgh Chronicle. 
It was a little “fresh-air” boy who watched the 
farmer in the process of milking, until, becoming a 
little tired, he inquired, “ How many more of dose 
tows have you dot to steeze?” 
Never speak of your failings, my son. Everybody 
who knows you knows them. Never speak of your 
good qualities. Nobody but yourself believes you 
possess them. In short, never speak of yourself at 
all. Of -course you will appear eccentric, but you 
will be readily forgiven by everybody. 
A WELL-known lady, who is a thrifty provider, saw 
a load of pork in the vicinity of the Central Market, 
Detroit, and concluded to purchase a couple of fine 
porkers, for which she settled with the dealer on the 
spot. She forgot, however, to give him her address, 
and an hour later as she stood conversing with some 
of her aristocratic friends, the man of pork ap¬ 
proached and,“ nudged ” her mysteriously with the 
butt end of his whip. The lady turned in amaze¬ 
ment: “Shzay, shzayl” he asked in a loud voice; 
“vas you de vomans dot belongs to dem hogs?”—

An old-time clergyman of Eastern Connecticut 
commonly known as “ Priest W-e,” was a very 
shrewd man and quick at repartee. Once when on 
an exchange he was annoyed to find the room so 
dark, and beckoning to a person sitting near the 
pulpit, he asked him to open the blinds and let in 
more light. 
“We expect light from you,” said the gentleman. 
“But I must get it from heaven first,” was the 
quick rejoinder. 
We copy from the Spencer (Indiana) Republican 
of November 14th, 1883, an account written by the 
editor of the remarkable recovery of a lady whose 
case was considered hopeless, her physicians having 
given her up to die. The statement is so clear, em¬ 
phatic and circumstantial, that no comment on our 
part is needed. If Compound Oxygen will reach a 
case like this, what limit can be assigned to its cura- 
-tive power ? 
A REMARKABLE CASE. 
“Mrs. Fleming, of Spencer, had been in declining 
health for twelve or fifteen years. She had suffered 
from dyspepsia, catarrh, and incidentally from other 
affections, and had grown weaker gradually, until 
last spring, when she was greatly emaciated and 
unable to stand up a minute at a time. Her case was 
considered hopeless , and she was removed to her 
father’s in the country, where it was expected that she 
would soon pass away with consumption. She had no 
appetite whatever, and the sight of food was disgust¬ 
ing. She weighed but eighty-three pounds, and was 
but a shadow of her former self. She had had hectic 
fever for several months, and had been given up by 
her physicians. < 
“ Some time in May she was supplied with a small 
part of a Treatment of Drs. Starkey & Palen’s Com¬ 
pound Oxygen, with a view of testing it a few days, 
and, if it proved beneficial, to procure a full supply 
and give it a fair trial. The trial was so satisfactory 
that in ten days she sent to Philadelphia for a Treat¬ 
ment of the Oxygen. From the first, such was its 
peculiarly soothing andbeneficial effect, she was con¬ 
vinced that she had found something that would cure 
her, hopeless as her case seemed. Her rest at night, 
which had been broken by restlessness and loss of 
sleep, was improved from the first, and in less than a 
week she began to have a desire and relish for food. 
Gradually a decided improvement in other respects 
was plainly perceptible. 
“ This Treatment lasted her over three months. In 
the meantime she had gained four or five pounds in 
weight, and had returned to her home in Spencer. 
She is now taking the second Treatment, and her im¬ 
provement is even more noticeable than during the 
first. She has a healthier color than for years past. 
While she is not yet well, she is confident that in time 
the Oxygen will effect a permanent cure. 
“It has been a slow return to health, but it must 
be remembered that the decline had been slow and 
insidious, and that her case was thought to have been 
beyond the reach of medical science when she began 
the use of the Compound Oxygen, and that any re¬ 
covery in a case so desperate must be regarded as 
almost miraculous. 
“The above account can be verified at any time by 
ordinary medical treatment. Writing in regard to his 
estimate of the value of Compound Oxygen, and ol 
his theory as to the laws governing its action, he 
says: 
“On this hypothesis only can I account for the ex¬ 
tensive and remarkable curative powers of your 
Treatment; for it is certainly the most valuable and 
reliable treatment I know in all chronic diseases. It 
cures diseases of different types from the special 
diseases for which it is prescribed, as in my own case. 
For twenty-five years I had suffered with a disease 
which had resisted all treatment, and I never expected 
to be relieved, but to my surprise, after I was cured of 
my bronchial and lung trouble by the use of your 
Treatment for three weeks, I found myself entirely 
relieved of the other ailment also.”

history of the discovery of and mode of action of this 
remarkable curative agent, and a large record of sur¬

diseases, will be sent free. Address,

A few days ago, says the Kentucky State Journal, 
a middle-aged countryman walked into the office of 
a prominent Newport attorney and took a seat , when 
the following conversation took place : 
“ I called in to see about gittin’ a divorce from my 
wife.” 
“Ah; what seems to be the difficulty ?” 
“ Well, me and Jinny are always quarrelin’, and 
think it would be better if she would go back to her 
folks and I stay where I am. She ken take the three 
children with her.” 
“ On what grounds do you want a divorce ?” 
“Well, you see, it’s just this way: Jinny’s the most 
skerrist woman of tramps ye ever seen, and so when 
we go up stairs to bed she wants me to look under 
the bed for a man, when I know ther’ ain’t no man 
there. So you see that riles me and I get mad, and 
then she gets mad, and then there’s a fuss, and I 
don’t have no peace and can’t get no sleep, and I’m 
a hard-working man.” 
“You can’t get a divorce on those grounds, sir.” 
“ I can’t f” 
“No, sir.” 
“ Well, then, I know what I’ll do. I’ll go home and 
saw the legs of the bed close up, so that a man can’t 
git under. If I had thought of that sooner I might 
hev saved all this time cornin’ in here.” 
A REMARKABLE DISCOVERY. 
One of the most useful things lately brought to the 
notice of the public, is “ Actina,” a new and remark¬ 
able means of restoring the eyesight of those who 
have been unable to see without glasses. It will 
enable anyone to read the finest of print in a few 
weeks use. The inventor and proprietor, Mr. Wm. 
Wilson, invites any one interested to call at his 
parlors, 286 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, N. Y., where he 
will be happy to meet them, and will give a free 
trial of this discovery for thirty days, without deposit 
or security. Physicians are particularly requested 
to investigate the merits and working of this dis¬ 
covery. The inventor will gladly explain its action, 
and take patients in hand for treatment.
