PUCK. 189 ‘Tue following testimonial of a certain patent medicine speaks for itself: ‘Dear Sir—Two months ago my wife could hardly speak. She has taken two bottles of your ‘ Life Renewer,’ and now she can’t speak at all. Please send me two more bottles. I wouldn't be without it.” Norristown Herald, : Tue thinnest kind of paragraphs going the rounds of the press are: Who is Min. R. Ology? Annie Mation? Sophia S. Tication? We would suggest that it is better for the ‘“para- graphic fraternity " to leave such space vacant than dilute it with the thinnest kind of skim milk.—Oil City Derrick. A HEROIC yours man jumped off the San Rafael ferry-boat about three months ago and rescued from drowning the daughter of one of our richest stock operators. The next day the teful father sent for the hero and presented im with a point on stocks! To-day the heroic young man is walking around on his uppers and sleeping on a bench in the Plaza. This isa true story, and illustrates anew the folly of ‘doing a generous act in San Francisco.—Sen Francisco Post. ScripNer for May has pen and ink sketches of Wilhelmj and Remenyi. The picture of Wilhelmj indicates that he was hit with the biggest pieces of the boiler and was standing nearest it when the explosion occurred, but there is no doubt in the world that Remenyi was blown a mile and a half the highest, and lit in an osage hedge when he came down, — Burlington Hawkeye. Tue Washington papers speak of the birth of a brainless baby at the capital, as though such a freak of nature was uncommon, Nature in this case is merely testing whether it wouldn’t be better for babies of that place to be born without brains, than to lose them when they get older.— Oil City Derrick, Genuine Vichy, Hanterive, Celestine, Grande Grille, Hopital, Specific for Gout, Rheumatism, Diabetes, Gravel, Kidney Di- teases, ete.
