Leaving a Man in the Lurch.

It was on a street car. A man with a very hoarse voice looked across the aisle at a man with a country satchel between his feet, and said : “ Wintry day, isn’t it?” “ Hey ?” called the other as he put his hand to his ear. “Seems like winter, doesn’t it?” shouted the man with the hoarse voice. “ Hey ? hey?” asked the deaf man. “He says,” began a man who was standing up, “he says it seems like winter.” At this moment the hoarse-voiced man rose up and slid out of the car. As he did so the deaf man rose up, laid two parcels on the seat, and called out: “ Speak louder—l’m deaf !” “He says it seems like winter!” bawled the man standing up. “Who says so?” He turned around to the hoarse-voiced man, but that person had skipped. “ Who. says so?” demanded the deaf man. “ I—l—why, I say so.” “Well, what of it? Haven’t I sense enough to know that this is winter weather ? Don’t try any of your guys on me or I’ll knock the top of your head off!” Then the deaf man sat down and the “middleman” sneaked out and dropped off the car and said he would spend the rest of his life looking for the hoarsevoiced man.

The lowa Butter and Cheese Association held their Sixth Annual Convention in this city recently, and the attendance was very large indeed, and great interest manifested. We have attended the last two National and State conventions and noticed this fact, that the dairymen of lowa are very rapidly adopting the Fairlamb system of gathering cream. Mr. Fairlamb, of Davis & Fairlamb, manufacturers of dairy supplies at 170 Lake street, Chicago, is the original inventor of this system. This is absolutely true, that the great dairy interest is solely indebted to Mr. Fairlamb for the system which has already been worth millions of dollars to lowa farmers, and which is now revolutionizing the business in the entire Northwest, and greatly to the furtherance of the best interests of the agricultural and dairy people. There has been a determined effort made to have the cream-gathering system called by some other name than the Fairlamb system, but without avail, for it is too great an invention and of too much value to the people to ment anything but the loudest praise. The Fairlamb system will be about the only system in use within two years if not sooner, judging at the rate that the dairymen are adopting it. We would suggest that all who are interested in this business write Messrs. Davis & Fairlamb, 170 Lake street, Chica-' go, for circulars giving full information. We visited them while in Chicago lately, and were surprised at the magnitude and extent of their business. They have a very extensive manufactory, and are hard pushed to meet the great and increasing demand for go ods throughout the country. They are a prompt, reliable, squaredealing firm.— Cedar Rapids Journal,

It is now announced, on the authority of an eminent physician, “ that it is not healthy to rise before 8 o’clock in the morning.” This applies only to men. Wives, it is said, .can rise as early as 7 o’clock and start the fire as heretofore. When you have ba i Catarrh long enough, just send 10 cents to Dr. C. B. Sykes, 169 Madison street, Chicago, for his “True Theory of Catarrh.” Kind words are the yeast that raise and lighten the home. Can Catarrh be cured? Ye.% certainly, “Dr, Skyes’ Sure Cure ” will cure it.
