“Good to Pull.”
A number of ladieB visited a Sow
Y"ork public school, and one of them
thought that she would question the
tots,, and Bee how much they k?--w
about the ** *
senses. r
What were the eyes for ?

Yes— and wli.it would tie tho result if
we hail no eyes ? And she asked the
little ones to shut their eyas tight. Ay.

Hearing.
Yes ; and now stop your ears up as
tightly as you can. All I what a sad
thing it would he to have no ears. We
should never hear the birds sing any
more, am, never more heir mamma’s
voice.
And then came the nose. What was
that for ?
Somehow the little ones seemed puz¬
zled at this point. About the eyes and
ears there had been no question—but
the noac V They looked up into the la¬
dy’s face curiously, evidently with an
answer ready, hilt not quite sure of be¬
ing right. Finally the questioner saw
an intelligent smile upon one chubby
little face—one of the four-yoar-olds—
and she said to the child :
“Ah, Afiss Dot, you can tell rne what
the nose is for, can't you ? Come now,
speak up. Don’t be afraid What is
it V”
A few twists and puckers, and then,
with a wonderous sparkle of the great
brown eyes :
“’Eb—l dess its for mamma to tate
hold of to pull 1”
That closed the examination for the

The Popular itemand.
So great has been the ;popular demand
for the celebrated remedy Kidnev-Wort
that it is having au immense sale from
Maine to California. Some have found
it inconvenient to prepare it from the
dry compound. For such the proprie¬
tors now prepare it in liquid form. This
can be procured at the druggists. It
has precisely the name effect as the dry,
but is very concentrated so that the dose
is mneh smaller .—Lmell Mail.

American Manners.
I’ve dined till I’m weary of dinners;
I've waltzed myself quite out of breath,
I’ve flirted with saints and with sinners;
I've dressed inysels nearly to death
I've fallen in postures and poses.

I've well nigh been smothered in roses,
Collected at frightful expense, *
