The Irrepressible Small Boy.

“Are you a sailor?” asked Babster’s bright boy of Spook the other evening. “No, my son,” replied Spook, “a seafaring life has no attraction for me. ” “But you are a sailor,” said young Babster. “No, my child, you are mistaken.” “Well, at any rate, mother said she had seen you ‘half seas over* more’n a hundred times.”— Lynn Union. Db. J. Bqudon Sanderson, Professor of Physiology in the University College, London, expresses the belief that the evils of the use of alcoholics preponderate over the benefits, and that “all the benefits are dispensable benefits. ” — Dr. Foote’s Health Monthly.
