Docror BRapon, when he was rector of Etham, | | in Kent, one day preached from the text “ Who art| |thou?” Just at the moment he announced it, a military 'subaltern of the neighboring post was walking | up the aisle, and, hearing the question, he stopped, saluted, and said, “1 am, sir, an officer of the Seven- | teenth Regiment of Foot, on a recruiting party here.” | —Singapore Review. | THE ENGADINE | Bouquet, Atkinson’s New Perfume.

I am get- ting tired of this everlasting tea drinking. A bright idea has just come to me, and you know there is nothing like a novelty for social success, I intend to introduce five o'clock chocolates. What do you say tothat?” ‘I say to that that you are a genius; for there is nothing in this world equal to a good cup of chocolate. It is always refreshing, and it rests rather than excites the nerves. Your five o'clock chocolates will be the sensation and success of the season.” A story is told of the heroism displayed by a Kentucky colonel—a real colonel, who was out soldier- ing with the narrator. During the absence of the regimental surgeon one day the colonel was seized with a diligent discomfort in the region of the sword belt, and he was advised to drink a scoundrelly potion compounded of turpentine and water. He took it down with never a wink. ““ How did you like it, sir?” asked the major, with mock solicitude. | “Bah !—it is nothing,” said the hero of the per- | formance as tranquilly as he would have described the loss of a leg by a cannon-shot : ‘I could drink it | without the turpentine.”—Nashville American.

One of the gentle- | men who was asked to join in the ceremony, replied : “No, I'ma teetotaller; but I'll willingly drink success |to the ship in the liquor she floats in.” A friend | disappeared and returned with a glass of water. | After a complimentary apostrophe to the ship, the | recipient tossed it off at once, but immediately sput- tered, ‘* Ugh—ah—oh—this is—oh—what—what in | materia medica is this?” ‘* That!” exclaimed his friend, ‘‘ why, you've drunk success to our noble ship in the identical liquor she floats in.”—Ca/cutta Times. “MONON ROUTE The connecjing link of Pullny | Indianapolis, '2incinnati, Louis Send for Guidi. E. O. McCormick, G. SHAKE! The Science of Palmistry—What Shaking Hands Reveals. “George Francis Train is as loony as a wild- cat on many subjects, no doubt,” remarked a physician the other day, ‘‘but there is a good deal of method in his madness about one thing.” “* What's that ?”” ““Shaking hands. I don’t blame him for dis- liking promiscuous hand-shaking ; it has many unpleasant features.” “*What can you tell by the shake of a man’s hand?” ‘A good deal. Why, I can pick out the people in a crowd with whom I shake hands, who have | kidney disease, and they don’t know it!” “‘T'don't understand you. Do you pretend to say there is anything peculiar in their ‘shake’?” “* No, not in the ‘shake,’ but in the ‘ feel’ of the hand.” “Please explain what you mean.” “A hot dry hand shows inactivity of the skin. The skin is the third kidney. We sweat out as much water through the skin as we pass off through the kidneys.” “‘ How much is that ?” “In health, several pints a day. In the sum- mer we sweat more than in the winter, but in health there is a constant though invisible escape of moisture through the skin, In the palm of the | hand, there are from two to three million little sweat pores. 1 The sweat-glands are a great help to the kidneys, and when working healthfully in | the summer, the kidneys can and do take a much- needed recreation. You can prove this, if you notice that you pass less fluids in summer than in winter, if skin and kidneys are healthy. You will be surprised, if you shake hands with a company of people, to see how many hands feel hot and dry. Hadn't you noticed it ? “‘T don’t think I have. But what can be done in such cases?" Only one thing can be done, and that is to get the kidneys at work again by a very thorough course of treatment with Warner's safe cure, and giving yourself a sponge or wet cloth rubbing (with warm or cold water, whichever is the most agreeable) night and morning. Use only the best soap on the body in such cases. Indeed, soap isn’t necessary oftener than once a week. Vigor- ous rubbing with a well wrung towel, followed by like rubbing with a dry warm towel is recom- mended. Palmistry is a modern science that is quite a fad with fashionable people now-a-days, but there is a good deai more in it than the professional palm readers have yet found out.
