So long as the selling. *nd making of bogus butter is profita­ ble so long will the fraud be manufac­ tured and put upon the market. A healthy tax would render the butterine business unprofitable.

BverV phasejof^rilstence dancing upon the stage, day and night, and flitting away lijke shadows, rapidly followed by others Wially varied and ephemeral. Lifp/and death, joy and jorrow, riches and poverty, virtue and vice, the good atvd the evil of human nature and existence arn concentrated and jostle each other here, and because concentrated w thin narrow limits seeming to differ so much from life in the country. "And do yoju know," said my old Chicago friend, "that you news­ paper men are largely responsible ror 1 'lie city's having a worse reputation than it reallv deservesP In your thirst for the sensational, you make prorai-^ nent all that is evil, of en passing by* the good without so much as a mention. Give the good an equal showing up and th^ worlfl and the cities would seem much better." * My venerable friend spoke truly, lor every good act portrayed by the press a hundred crimes are-heralded abroad, dressed in the flashiest garb. Nearly seven hundred thousand decent people in this city are daily attending honest ly :and faithfully to their duties, un­ noticed, where it only a single cashier skips off to Canada with his employer'9 funds, so much puolicity and attention are given him and his act as to lead the thoughtless reader to take the flee­ ing rascal as a fair sample of all the employes in the city, the truth being the very opposite. "There goes a little news girl." continued my old friend, "who, when I gave her a nickel for her penny paper, thinking 1 had made a mistake, ran after me to correct it; if the had stolen so much some witless ^reporter would have spread the trifle over a dozen lines, whereas her simple act of honesty would be passed, un­ heeded. Why, do you know, sir, that I am sometimes tempted to establish a paper myself, and fill it full of the go >d deeds of mankind? Think I'd get any subscribers, eh?" * * * ^ Including all the wicked newspapers there are 278 regular publications issued in this city, including eight morning and ten eveninar paper3, repre­ senting all isms and Interests. Even the affable undertakers have an organ to make known the benefits and attrac tions of their calling. It is called "The Shroud.'1 The different papers are printed in nioe different languages and jaw etch oth«r in a great many more. The exiled Poles have three papers in their native tongue, one, the excellent and readable "Dzienswietz,*1 makes the Czar tremble every time be prouounce6 its name. ail carrier," resumed my guile, philosopher and friend. "Why don't yon give them a puff for honesty and faithfulness? Last year 332 of them delivered nearly seven y five millions of letters in this city, and there Is not a thief among them. They handled and delivered a total of 115,000.000 pieces of mail in 1885 and in the same time collected 101 545,000. Think of the walks those fellows took and at scarcely living salaries, while the big guns you so often praise loaf half the time and carry off the plums in Mg salaries. It makes me mad to think of so much injustice. You look tired, as if my> prosy facts were not sensational enough for you. Well, if not, go out to Graceland Cemetery and talk to old John Kane, the grave- diffger--he has been there twen y six years, and helved bury thirty thousand people there -he can tell you horrible gho»t and murder stories till you can't rest. Good day, sir--call to-morrow." * * ' * The butter acd the butter>ne men have locked borns, and are having an oily fight for the field*. The State Board of Agriculture was asked to take the tide of Old Brindle and positively refused to Imbrue their han Js in the greasy fray, declaring that butterine was whohsome if well made, and favored having It sold under its proper na<ne. In the meantime the"burters" make mouths at each other while we comb our butter by the light of butter­ ine candles. War has been declared also between the grain-shippers and tbe elevators, some Sf which are grind­ ing 40 per cent, net profit out of the grain producers and dealers, paying in one case a salary of 810,000 a year to a single superintendent alone, and their heavy storage charges threaten to destroy the grain trade of Chicago, i'o bring these elevators to their senses farmers and country dealers should combine, build elevators of their own and ship directly to tbe sea-board, or to Liverpool.

At a time when men were generally called by their Christian names and surnames only, the word -Mister" was probably applied as a sort of title to those wh) bad learned a mystery or trade, and who would perhaps be look •d upon as of higher rank or position than mere laborers or husbandmen The question so often met with in old writers: "What mister wight is that? meaning, what is that man's employ­ ment and oontequent condition in life ? •eems to fayor this view. Smart, bow #*«r, teems to think that Mister was ^Mtoptad, or at least promoted for the Mke of analogy with "mistress;" "for mistress, among old English writers, says Smart, "often bad the form of U«sa In order to suit with master was then used where we now 4master."

Since then Mr. LELAKD has recommended AYER'S SAHSAPABILLA. in many similar cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail­ ure to effect a radical enre. Some years ago one of Mr. IdELAVn's farm laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling or lump appeared on the Injured limb. Hor­ rible itching of the akin, with burning and darting pains through the lump, made life almost intolerable. The leg became enor­ mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed, discharging great quantities of extremely offensive matter. No treatment was of any avail until the man, by Mr. LK LAND'S direc­ tion, waa supplied with AYEB'S SABSAPA- RILLA, which allayed the pain and irritation, healed the sores, removed the swelling^ and completely restored the limb to use. Mr. I.Et.ANnhas personally used Ayer's Sarsaparilla fer Xthemnatlsm, with entire success; and, after careful observation, declares that, In his belief, there is no medicine in the world equal to it for tbe cure of Liver Disorders, Gout, the effects of high living, Salt Kheum, Sores, Eruptions, and all Uw various forms of blood diseases. We have Mr. LXLAMD'S permission to Invite all who may desire further evidence in regard to the extraordinary curative powers of AYER'S SARSAPARILLA to see him person­ ally either at bis mammoth Ocean Hotel, Long Branch, or at the popular Leland Hotel, Broadway, 27th and 28tt» Streets, New York. Mr. LKLAKD'S extensive knowledge of the good done by this unequalled eradleator of blood poteens enables him to give inquirers mucii valuable information. PBZPABZD BY Dr. J.C.
