Canvas-Back.

“What kind of a fowl do you call this?” asked a boarder of a K street landlady, as lie sawed away at a piece on his plate. “Why, Mr. Jones, that’s duck—the real genuine canvas-back,” she answered in indignant astonishment. “Canvas-back,* eh?” he queried. “Well, I should say the canvas had slipped around in front. Bring me a pair of scissors.” —Washington Critic . Men in the lumbering camps of Northern Maine and Canada have to depend so largely upon salted foods that they have a great craving for acids, and if they can not get raspberries or blueberries will seek and eat with avidity the large black ants which can be readily found in decayed timber.—Dr. Foote’s Health Monthly. Restful Nights, Days Free from Torture, Await the rheumatic sufferer who resorts to Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. That this benignant cordial and depurent is a far more reliable remedy than colchicum and other poisons used to expel the rheumatic virus from the blood, is a fact that experience has satisfactorily demonstrated. It also enjoys the advantage of being—unlike them—perfectly safe. With many persons a certain predisposition to rheumatism exists, which renders them liable to its attacks after exposure, in wot weather, to curren-is of air, changes of temperature, or to cold when the body is hot. Such persons should take a wineglass or two of the Bitters as soon as possible after incurring risk from the above causes, as this superb protective effectually nullifies the hurtful influence. For the functional derangoments which accompany rheumatism, such as colic, spasms in the stomach, palpitation of the heart, imperfect digestion, etc., the Bitters is also a most useful remedy. It is only necessary in obstinate cases to use it with persistency.
