How many days have you been on earth ? Not as many as you would at first suppose. For instance, 15,000 days make over 41 years and the oldest resident of this city has not lived much over 30,000 days and there have been but 700,000 since Christ was born. To judge from the numerous photographs and cuts of the late Empress of Austria, one would have thought her a brunette. On the contrary, she was a decided blond, and her beautiful hair won for her in early days the name of “Goldelse or “Elizabeth of the golden locks.’’ A stranger has appeared in Connecticut with a preparation warranted by him to keep flies and mosquitoes away from domestic animals.

His audience was delighted and should he ever appear here again he would no doubt have a crowded house to hear him. In a case of slander in a neighboring county that was heard not long ago, says an exchange, a lady had gone into the witness box on behalf of the plaintiff whose counsel was examining “Now. madam” the lawyer began, “please repeat the slanderous statements on this occasion, just as you heard them.” “Oh, they are unfit for any respectable person to hear!” was the emphatic answer. “Then,” said the examiner, eoaxingly, “suppose you just whisper them to the judge. A stove fakir, one of those clever and obliging gentlemen who sell a stove that can be bought of any reliable dealer for $35 or S4O, for SSO and S6O, is said to be working in the northern part of the county. Complaint of his misdealings comes from Fountain City. It is said people have given their notes in payment for stoves, with a promise of plenty time to pay, and that they turn up in bank soon afterward. Richmond Suu. A county superintendent in a neighboring countv asked every teacher at the institute if they took their county or local paper, and only six acknowledged they did. The superintendent expressed surprise and said: “You don’t spend $1.50 a year with these papers, and yet you expect them to advertise you, to print free of charge all notices of institutes, insert long programs and in many other ways assist you to climb the ladder to better positions and salaries without a cent in return.”

Our business men should remembrr and vote in the coming election on the two grave] roads. They are needed both by business men and farmers and here is your chance to get them. A Walkerton lady who wanted some fly paper the other day sent a young man who boards at her house down town for the desired article, instruct ing him to get ten cents worth of Tanglefoot, the name of a grade of fly paper. The lady was shocked when the goung man returned with a bottle of whisky. Thejoke soon spread and now the young man's friends are making life a burden to him. Three Doctors in Consultation. “When you are sick, what you like best is to be chosen for a medicine in the first place; what experience tells vou is best, to be chosen in the second place; what reason (i.e., Theory) says is best is to be chosen in the last place. But if you can get Dr. Inclination, Dr. Experience and Dr. Reason to hold a consultation together, they will give you the best advice that can be taken.” From Benjamin Franklin. When you have a bad cold Dr. Inclination would recommend Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy because it is pleasant and safe to take. Dr. Experience would reccommend it because it never fails to effect a speedy and permanent cure. Dr. Reason would recommend it because it is prepared on scientific, principles, and acts on nature s plan in relieving the lungs, opening the secretions and restoring the system to a natural and healthy condition.
