ing about the time for the meeting of Par

Coughs and Colds The peculiar ad.
age is 10 stuff cold and starve cough .
How rare ought coughs to be in the
work house; how scarce colds among
Aldermen!


No Rule vithout an Exception TO
comeliness Of countenance the possession
OF nasal organ is essential. How beau
tltul is the face of nature; and yet we look
in vain for her nose!


A Valuable Receipt.--Received of Mr..
Punch his Almanack for the Year 1916, in
full of all demands


Tares Bachelors who keep only a
dumb waiter, do not pay the usual tax upon
servants.


DIRECTIONS for Railauay Traveuers.--[f
the seat opposite yours be vacant, rest your
feet upon it, especially should your feet be
muddy. The elbows make capital scrapers
and the back cushions answer very we'll for
mats. As you pay first class fare

tions.


Never enter first class carriage with.
out your largest carpet bag. The porters
will, perhaps, oppose this, but if you give
them knowing wink, and make playful
alIusion to the late Mr. Walker, they will
see that you are not to be done. You
may then thrust it in between the kn ees o
some passenger who has already comfortab
ly arranged himself


A Curious Fact. You never called te
a waiter, when he was leaving the room
but he answered, "Coming sir.''


A Great Curiosaty.--Shortly will be ex.

"a years Of age, S feet inches high, and
a native Of Middlesex. Although this
wonderful young man writes an excellen,
hand, he has never applied for a Railway
share.


To Careful Husbands There is nc
more frequent cause o. catching cold thar
standing about. Bear this in mind when
walking with your wives down Regen
Street; and with af1ectionate solcitude
persuade them not to loiter at the shor
windows.


Instinct Of Animals SO great is the
veneration of the Horse for the Inventor O
Wood Pavements, that he scarcely eve
crosses it without going OH his knees.
Patpitations. --Palpitatons of the heart
occurring in young ladies', may often be
cured by sending for the Doctor; but it i:
frequently necessary to call in the Captain
and, in some instances, the Parson.
The English Empire.--"The Sum-" i
is said, "never sets on the Queens domi,
nion." A Frenchman says the reason i.
because the sun is never seen in England
at all.
