HUMOR
SMITH’S MEMORY. There Wu Only One Thins He Had Forgotten. A large and perspiring man, laden with bundles, bustled on to the Milwaukee boat, upset a small boy in a sailor suit, carried away a half yard of flounce from the skirt of a lady with a purple silk waist and finally brought up, panting and exhausted, beside a small woman sitting tranquilly on the after deck. “Horace!” “There, now, I know just what yon are going to say, Mildred—that same confounded old question. My dear, I forgot nothing!” “But, Horace”— “No;- I did not forget to buy the fruit!” He thrust a basket of peaches into her lap. “Nor the toweling! ” Another package followed. “Nor the 6)4 yards of cambric, Mildred ! ’ ’ Another package. “Nor the spool of silk—hang it I—spool of silk!” “But”— “Nor the rattle, nor”— “But, Horace, dear, will you allow” “No, madam, I will not allow! There is no use in asking. I tell yon, I have forgotten nothing—nothing 1” He began to unload bis pockets. “Here’s the prescription, and here’s the—er—thingambob that your mother wanted, and here’s a book for Amelia, and hereV ’ — “Horace Smith, stop your talking”— His wife rescued the “thingambob” from the deck, smiled brightly up into the triumphant face and said pleasantly : “Yes, dear, but in what store did you leave your hat?” And then the boat started.—Chicago Inter Ocean.
Wanted Something to Tell Her.
When he had finished singing “Break the News to Mother,” he sat down beside her, and she said in her winning, confidential way: “I would be glad to if I had any important news to break to her. Can’t you think of something?” On reflection he thought he could. — Chicago Post.
Sort O' Mixed.
First Hindoo—Have you ever been for a boat sail ? Second Hindoo—Oh, yes. - First Hindoo—How did you enjoy it ? Second Hindoo—l did not like it. It’s too horrible. The boat is going upside and downside, and your inside is going inside and outside.—Punch.
Courteous Reproof.
Ida Nownce—She talks incessantly about herself. Sallie DeWitt—Yes, but never about Pther people.—Brooklyn Life.

1 CJ / MRS. L. S. ADAMS. Of tialveiton, Texas. "Wine of Cardui Is indeed a blessing to tired women. Having suffered for seven years with weakness and bear-ing-down pains, and having tried several doctors and different remedies with no success, your Wine of Cardui was the only thing, which helped me, and eventually cured me It seemed to build up the weak parts, strengthen the system and correct irregularities.” By “tired women” Mrs. Adams means nervous women who have disordered menses, falling of the womb, ovarian troubles or any of these ailments that women have. You can cure yourself at home with thisgi-eat women’s remedy, Wine of Cardui. Wine of Cardui has cured thousands of cases which doctors have failed to benefit. Why not begin to get well today?

LINES HIS WALLS WITH LEGS.
Cblcogo Veteran Turns Uncle Sam's Bounty to Novel Uae. Henry Curtin, a veteran of the civil war, living on the West Side, has a room in his residence that Impresses all his visitors as a veritable chamber of horrors. This is because Its mo9t conspicuous decoration and ornament is a row of human legs suspended ou the walls and entirely circling the room. Mr. Curtin always laughs at the fright of strangers at the first sight of this room and then explains that the legs are only artificial ones, and there’s nothing to be afraid of. Then he tells them how the legs came to be there. “You see,” said Mr. Curtin, “in 186-1 I was so foolish as to try to stop a cannon ball with my right leg. Of course I wasn’t one, two, three, and the next thing I knew I was in a camp hospital with only one leg left. That ended my soldiering. The government had me measured for an artificial leg as soon as I was able to be about, and I came home to Chicago. “Well, I discovered that I couldn’t wear the kind of a leg the government gives owing to some reasons connected with the way my leg was amputated,- and the only leg I can wear is this wooden stump that straps to the thighs. It was In 1865 when I got my first leg. In 1866 an express package brought me another. I sat down and wrote the war department that the legs were of no use to me and therefore not to send them. They didn’t take a bit of notice of my letter, and in 1867 another leg came. I wrote again to Washington; told them I had \hree of their legs now that I couldn’t use and didn’t want them to go on and bankrupt the government buying me legs. “They never noticed me. In 1868 I got another leg. They began to get in the way around the house, so then I started the labeling and dating of each one and banging them up on the walls of my den. They come regularly—one each year. There’s 35 there now, and I guess I’ll last long enough to see 50 or more if Uncle Sam doesn’t get tired sending them.”-—Chicago Inter Ocean.
New NameS For Months.
Several German papers are expressing dissatisfaction with the names of the months. These critics point out that it is absurd for Europeans and Americans of today to dedicate onesixth of the year to the memory of Julius Caesar and Augustus, to name a third after heathen gods and goddesses, to have two months of doubtful nomenclature and to designate the remaining four by misleading numerals, September being obviously ninth and not seventh in order. There is, of course, nothing to Bay against this argument from the point of view of common sense, but unfortunately common sense is not always the ruling power in human affairs. Not only the months, but the days of the week, too, and indeed most of us bear names which are either meaningless or inappropriate, and perhaps we like them all the better on that account. Some of our Teutonic contemporaries suggest reverting to the old designations of their uncivilized ancestors, which resemble closely enough those of the French revolutionary calendar. But one doubts whether the kaiser even would venture on such an innovation. Another idea is to adopt mere numbers, but that, too, has been tried by the Quakers and found wanting.— London Chronicle.
