A PROVERB says : "An untried friend
is like an uncracked nut. " An uncrack-
ed nut is worth more than a cracked nut.
Ergo , never try your friends.
THE revivalist , Sam Jonesis , slangy ,
chews tobacco , loves girls and.is fond of
fast horses. This would go to show that
revivalists are pretty nearly human ,
after all.
A NEBRASKA man claims to have dis
covered , by means of a microscope , the
existence of a human soul. That is
about the only way most souls could be
discovered.
: < AN English electrician asserts there
is no case on record of a person having
been killed by lightning while asleep in
bed. " This is valuable. Whenever you
hear it thunder , go to bed and fall
asleep immediately. . This beats light
ning ruds for simplicity.
A GEORGIA man has seen a spider as
large as a hickory-nut , with a face like
a man of the Malay type , all the feat
ures being imitated with startling pre
cision. We do not Avish to be meddle
some , but we feel called upon to advise
the Georgia man to beware. Between
this sort of spider and delirium tremens
there is only a stepso we have been told.
IN the lapse of a few days the iron

MONDAY of last week , two cars of the

"HE died willingly in.the . hope of
salvation. " You may think this refers
to a clergyman who has served God for

THE tragic death of that mountain of
flesh Jumbo is reported as occasion
ing more newspaper and popular com

: ( WHAT you want , " said the barberas ,
he run his fingers through the few re
maining hairs on the head of a custo
mer "what you want is a bottle of my
hair restorer. " "What I want , " re
turned the customer , "is a divorce. "
And the barber said no more. Boston

KING LUDWIG of Bavaria , who has
been excused a great deal of costly non
sense during his royal career on the
ground of partial insanity , has varied the
monotony of his eccentricities by beat
ing a dentist who pulled a tooth for him ,
because it hurt his royal nibs. The Ba
varians have a remedy at hand. Let
them hire John L. Sullivan to come
over and personate the dentist the next
time Ludwig has the toothache. Prof.
Sullivan can yank out a tooth without
hurting much , if anybody can.
A FEAV days ago a well-known socie
ty young man shocked one of his ladr
friends by his ignorance of history. It
was after a dinner party at his house ,
and she was telling him what she had
learned in her private history class.
One thing led to another , and all the
time he was getting into deeper water.
At last she surprised him by inquiring :
"Now tell me Mr. what are the
Knights of Bath ? " He stammered for
a while , and finally blurted out : "Why ,
Saturday nights , I guess. " Buffalo
Courier.
THE suspicion is rapidly gaining
ground that the trial of Ferdinand Ward
the thief who stole General Grant's hard
earned savings and the wretch who struck
him a death blow in dragging his name
for a time into disgrace by claiming him
as an accessory to his frauds , is going
to be white-washed in some way in the
New York courts , and permitted to get
away with the swag that he has so far
concealed from his creditors. If this
suspician is well founded nobody will
feel very enthusiastic about erecting a
monument to General Grant in New
York. Journal.
Tim reason why Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is a favorite with so many people is
because it can always be depended upon. It's
prompt and effectual cures of coughs , colds
croup and whooping cough , have made it

it to any other. Sold by X. A. Spalding and
