WIIVI tl J DJI two weeks on account of measles. Mrs. Wm. Jarrell and children have been visiting a few days at Teegarden. Dr. Moore has been busy day and night for the last two weeks, and reports twenty" four of his patients with measles in one week. All doing well. Tyner now has two sample and lunch rooms in connection with the saloons, and we think there must be lots of sampling done there, as we see so many who seem so very heavily laden. Guees they have measles at the saloons, as they are open very kite of nights. One ' of them, we understand, had . four patients all night a few days since, all too feeble to | go home, “and Sunday there were a good many callers during the entire day, and Sunday night they burned the midnight lamp. We have not heard of any deaths, ' however, and Sunday we noticed some that I were able to get out with help and lean on the fence to dry. Think it must have been measles, as the breaking out seemed to be .it the mouth. Ask Simon, he knows. The red bearded man who talks an arm off has been about Tyner some of late. I don t know how Icegarden can spare him, as he is a very prominent and useful mam Dick.

The Claim of The Tailors. “No two men, even of exact height and weight,” said a prominent New York tailor the other day to a Pittsburg Dispatch reporter, “can wear the same clotlies and be lit. If the measurement were exactly the same, which it. never is. they couldn’t do it. Why? Now, I don’t know; but 1 have found it to be a fact. The measurement for a pair of trousers, for instance, might be exactly the same, yet one man will have to be allowed from one to three inches more length in the legs than the other. The man who is naturally stout or fat, and the man who has grown fat late in life, may look and even measure exactly alike, but the same cut of cloth will never lit both. Herein lies the great art of tailoring. The variations in the construction of the human body are marvelous. Now, tue man who has just left—lie is a minister of the gospel, lie must have his cloJies to fit him and fit his business. His armpits, shoulder blades and arms do not correspond with those of any oilier man, nor does the right side correspond with the left. He probably gestures a good deal with the right hand. He doesn’t know that that arm is fully an inch longer than the other. This structural difference in men is more general than you would Imagine.” Provei’bial Phrases. Not a few of the phrases in use at this day originated with Lvly, and arc ‘■vcrnoßM ""rr nF" J Wtow n study 7 ,” “catching birds by putting salt on their tails,” etc.
