Heard in a doctor's offics : " How long will it take to cure me, doctor?" "Well, Mr Blank, I think you can gut back to your desk at the bank in about a month, but you will have to remain under treatment several years." "But you mistake; I am not Mr Blank, the banker, but Mr Blank, (he lettercarrier." " Oh, that alters the case. There is nothing the matter with you but a little biliousness. You will be well in a week !" A Rattlesnake Bitb —The quick ve- om of the rattlesnake has mot, killed so h,.? y people as the more insidious but deadly poisons found in the air of. foul rooms. The aeration of the blood by the lungs becomes impossible sametimey, and the failing health, growing weakness, and lof-8 of appetite are harbingers of approaching For such oases Hop Bitters are the potent and allpowerful remedy to drive all fevers out of the system, purifying the blood, and giving a new and happy lease of life. Notice Advt. Maud : " What very large teeth Scotchmen have, mamma ; haven't they ?" Mamma : " Not any larger than we English people hare, Maudie." Maud : "Oh, yes, they have ; for when papa asked the new Scotch gardener to-day if he would take any whisky, he replied he would take just a toothful; and I'm sure papa made the butler give him half a tumblerful; and his tooth held it all, for he didn't spill a drop."

The People Want Pboof There is no m°dicir.e prescribed by phjsicians or sold by Druggists, that canies such evidence of its success and superior virtue as Bojchee's German Syrup for severe Coughs, Colds settled on the breast, Consumption or any disease of the Throat and Lungs. Any person om.cted, can get a sample bottle for 6d, and try its superior effeot before buying the regular size at 3s 6d, Its wonderful cures are astonishing everyone that uses it. Three doses will relieve any case. If you have a Cough or Odd that will not yield to other remedies try German Syrup and you will be surprised at the result. It has cured many caees of so-called Consumption which Doctors had given up. It is sold by all Druggists in the Civilised World. The Cholera in France.—The Secularist of France are beginning to discover that they have made a mistake. About a couple of years ago, with the view of suppressing religion, they expelled from the hospicals the Sisters of Charity, and appointed lay nurses in their stead. The cholera has visited them now, the lay nurses have fled from the hospitals, and they cannot find any willing to attend to the sick. They are thus ■■ forced to reinstate the nuns as nurses, and their great difficulty now is to find them. They scattered them, and it is not eaßy to get them together again. However, they are being got together from all parts of Europe, and are being placed in charge of the hospitals throughout the country. This scourge of the country may have some effect in influencing the religious opinions of France, which have recently become violently and aggressively atheistic.
