People and ^.hings,

No man ever accumulated the dyspepsia on fifty cents a day. The truth may be in a nutshell, but it does nut shell out very well'nowadays.

When a lawyer draws a conveyance, he may be said to "work like a horse." A Washington correspondent says the President is certainly growing fat, as his coat wrinkles horizontally across his back. **.-*.

Adirondack Murray, the Boston preacher, is said to be growing Jess spiritual and. more theatrical in his services.

Col. Knox met in Japan a woman who didn't know the use of a pin. Her bewilderment when shown a pincushion was amusing.

It is not the number of people a man meets these days that annoys him, but the number that he don't want to meet.

Easton Free Press. In a lecture at Buffalo recently Colonel Ingersoll described religions metaphysics by the expression "Two fools meet each admits what neither can prove." "It is not right to spoil a golden wedding," was the ground on which a Missouri Judge refused a divorce iu a case where the parties bad lived together forty nine years.

The authorities of San Francisco have declared war against the communists. Pretty soon the communists will be unable longer to get a living unless they go to work.

The world may never know what unutterable things a hotel waiter thinks when he folds bis arms and legs against the wall to gnse down upon you in mournful silence with dreamy eyes.— Burlington Hawkeve.

Mrs. Jane Swissbelm is going for the pantaloons and all there is in tbeai. She is even making fun of the unfortunate bald headed male citizen* It would not take a great many women like Jane' to snatch any community bald headed.

A person recently meta lady who is distinguished as having been four times a widow, and has now again entered the bonds of matrimony. Said the friend:

A supposed Ashtahula victim, a man named Webber, of Rocboster, N. Y., has turned up in Wisconsin, spoiling his wife's suit for |5000 against the Lake Shore railroad company. The statement of a man that he had seen Webber take the fated train at Buffalo, and tbe discovery of certain articles believed to belong to him among tbe ashes of the burned cars at Aslitab-.ila, seemed conclusive evidence of his destruction, and the railroad company offered to compromise a suit for $5000 damages by paying #4000. Mrs. Webber refused, and tbe matter went into the courts, where it has remained until the recent discovery of her husband in tbe Wisconsin soldiers' home. Tbe railroad company is a gainer, but whether Mrs. Webber is is more doubtful.

Thb truthful Gasette, of yesterday evening, is authority for thin statement It is said to be a fact that tbe Buffalo Bill troupe do not have any barber with them, and never have to hire one to shave tbemselvee.

Each ballet neatly clips a portion of tbe beard, and in about twenty shots, the customer's face is shaved as smooth and dean as an infant's, and not a scratch made. It beats the raaor plan of shaving all out, and is not near so dangerous and troublesome, merely requiring a little nerve and practice,
