-> LIFE: MiSs BERG: You surely didn't shoot that poor, little, half-starved MN rabbit ? Mr. Nero: Why, no; I wouldn't do a thing like that. He was coming out from under a wall, and I simply clubbed him with the butt of my gun, stamped on him, and to make sure he was mine, banged his head against a tree.— ime.

WiLMIxoTox, Mass., Nov, 11.—Dr. Henry Hiller, who made $3,000,000 in the manufacture of pills, was buried here to-day in a casket which cost $9,000, Four coal-black horses carried him to a temporary brick tomb which cost $300, on a catafalque which cost $2,000, and at the tomb the casket was placed ina big red-cedar box, which cost $250, held together by sixty big brass screws, which cost’ $18. Owing to the fact that his life ended rather suddenly, another coffia equally magnificent, and intended to hold the first was not completed in time for to-day's service. When completed it will have cost as much as the other, and the two will be placed one within the other, inside of an oblong glass case three inches thick, to be built at a cost of $300. The final resting-place, to be built at an estimated 295 cost of $10,000, will be a tomb in the village burying-ground. After the remains were deposited to-day the widow locked the door and put the key in her pocket.—New York World. “On, William! How ungenially you said ‘ How d’y do ?? to poor Professor Bloker 1” “Yes, indeed, Papa! And oh, how effusively you bade him ' Good- dyer" —Punch. FROM OVER THE SEA. ““Wuy, old man, you look rattled, What's the matter 2” Just been trying to make my tailor take fifty francs.” “Shouldn't think that would be much trouble.” «Yes, but he wanted three hundred and fifty, you know.” A FOREIGN newspaper announced last week that it was about to publish the biography of the handsomest woman in Paris. The next day the editor received 564,208 notes in feminine handwriting stating that the writers did not object to the publication of the article, but did not care to have their names mentioned. AN epitaph: ie Here lies Heinrich Schenkelberger. He leaves behind A disconsolate widow and Eight fine heifers for sale. “ Anp do you say I'm not a good watch-maker ? No one ever left his watch here to be repaired that he didn't come a second time.” Apan had one thing in his favor. Eve couldn’t ask him whether he had ever loved any other woman before he met her. Dr. D. G. Brinton, Philadelphia, says : ‘After trying any number of soaps, we have settled down on Packer’s Tar Soap as the best of all, whether as a toilet or a sur- gical soap. It is remarkably pure, cleansing, and healing ; it is excellent in a large variety of skin diseases, among which we particularly name seborrhea of the scalp, dandruff, chafing, and itching, all of them very common and very obstinate, It contains the balsamic virtues of the pine in a high degree, and is soft and refreshing to the skin.”"— Vide Medical and Surgical Reporter, Phila, RUSSS ROYAL Bevrast cinceRa PERFUMES EDENIA Goya Lily.
