A very amusing conceit of Gustave Dore is’ reported from Paris. Having bought a villa in the outskirts of the city, he had placed over ¢he entrance the musical notation: ‘‘Do, Mi,
Si, La, Do, Re,” which, in another shape, is simply Domicile a Dore.’
A ereenhorn went one night to see his sweatheart, and for a long time could think of nothing to say, At last, snow beginning to fall heavily, he told her that his father’s sheep would be jost. ‘“Well,” said she, kindly tak- ing him by the hand, ‘I'll take care of one: of them.”
A negro was senteneed in Floyd, Ga., to be hanged in September, and he asked the Judge

A school board inspector asked a small pupil of what the surface of the earth consists, and was promptly answered, “Land and water.” Hf varied the question slightly, that the fact mizht be impressed on the boy’s mind, and

A trrrLe Ottawa miss was taken to church for the first time, after being duly impressed that she should be as “still as a mouse.” She

The Emperor Alexander of Russia has sig» nalized his reign by directing the preparation of a translation of the Bible into the moderh Russian language.

A brother of Bishop Clark, of Philadelphia,

A LARGE company of easily-gulled individu- dua!s was victimized a short time back in a small eountry town. By means of posters)
announcing a grand gacred concert, and by a! free distribution of complimentary tickets, | bearing on their face this condition, ‘No! gentleman adimitted unless accompanied by a lady,” a large audience was gathered at the| theatre. When the crowd began to press in| tiroug. the doors the ticket-taker began shout,
ing, “All having complimentary tickets will; pass upstairs to the gallery.” This was. a| dark, dreary, hot place, not having the | ca;acity for seating comfortably more than | two hundred people. Those who pressed for- | ward with their tickets were told that if they | did not wish to go to the gallery they could! be admitted by paying a shilling each. Every
man who appeared with a complimentary | tic cet of course had a lady with him, and felt’ asort of embarrassment, if she were not bis | wife or intimate acquaintance, so he yielded to
compulsion and paid rather than retire, and so

SICU M
The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.
There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been caused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of thal entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.
Dr. MELVIN’s Capsicum Porous PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.
Physiciansin all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or Jess used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by DR. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for
R. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER You can hardly believe your own convictions of ‘its wonderful effects, Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends.
Ask your druggist for DR. MELVIN’s CAPSI- CUM POROUS PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, te auy address in the United States or Canadas,
