BUTLER CITIZEN MIBCE LIAIVEOUH. What John Chinaman Eats. It will probably astonish many to know that three fourths of all the chickens brought to this market are consumed by the Chinese, and that nine tenths of all the tame ducks brought here share the same fate. The longer one lives the more h» finds by jimminT out, and instead of the Chinaman feasting on rat pie, as he is popularly supposed to do, he has just three times as much chicken pie on his bill of fare aa the white man, and nine times as much stewed duck. The Chinaman is peculiar. Geese or turkeys be does not care for, and wild ducks or any other game which bag been shot are an abomination in his almond-shaped eyes. "Heap like 'em alire" is John's remark when any dead fowls are ofiVred him. His taste in fish is also peculiar. He avoids sal mon, but goes hi? last nickel on suck ers and sturgeon, of any salt water fish which has long out of water. Well, the salmon is a royal fish. It is death to dogs, and does not seem to agree with Chinamen. The massive brain of the Caucasian is the only one able to cope with and successfully as similate the phosphorus and pbat of the luscious Chinook.— Portland Ore ijoniau. An English Giant. At Shiffnal, in the west of England, there was bnried recently a man of grand stature named J. L. Stubbs. His coffin measured 37 inches across the shoulders, 7 feet in length, and two feet in depth. It took the united strength of 10 men to lift it when the corpse was placed in it. Planks were placed against the bed room window and the coffin lowered down to a truck, and was thus wheeled away to tha church-yard. The ground was cot away at the head of the grave to form an incline, permitting the coffin to slide into its resting place. The weight of Mr. Stubbs was about 375 pounds. He Would Take Chloroform. A. man went into a barber's shop to be shaved. Said he in bis gravest manner to the barber, "Have you that razor you shared me with the day before yesterday?" "Ob, yes, sir," replied the barber, with much exuberance and delight at the favorable appreciation and the tender interest evinced in his instrument, rubbing bis bands and reaching it down. "Here it is, sir." "Ah, well," said the visitor, dryly, after a little hesitation, "then—l'll take Chloroform, please. —Photography is now need to de termine the height and velocity of the clouds. Two cameras, with instanta neous shatters to be released simulta neously by electricity, are placed almost six hundred feet apart. The angle of inclination of the cameras and the position of the clond as photograph ed on the two plates are measured, and with these data a trigonometric calcu lation gives with accuracy the distance of the clouds. —The ship canal between the Baltic Sea and the German Ocean will, it is estimated, save a journey of COO miles for a vessel makicg a trip between either of those waters, as the circumnav igation of the peninsula of Jutland will be nneeessary. In all, the proposed canal will be only some fifty miles—or about half that of the Suez Canal— extending from Gluckstadt to Kiel. —Encouraging: The patient after a long examination! t seeing the doctor shake bis head: "But what's the matter with me?" "Ah! that we shall see at the autopsy." —Of the 2,616,879 pupilp at element ary schools in Japan only T33.691 are girls. At the high schools there are only 204 female pupils out of 12,315. Expressions of gratitude on the part of the pablic are always impressive and solemn. It is pleasant to know that the people are justly praising the mer its of Dr. Bull's Congh Syrup, a safe remedy for coughs, colds, bronchitis, eronp and sore throat. —People who sanction the sins of their rulers share their punishment. Physicians Prescribe in Epilepsy. "I prescribe it in my practice," ia the expremion uswil by Dr. J. A. Pat more, of Riley, lud. He refers to Sa maritan Nervine, and farther aloDg aayi: "It cares epileptic fits, —The skeleton of • man holding in bis band a lantern has been exhumed in Chicago, and the people assert Jtbat it ie the remains of old Diogenes, who weataroand looking for an honeßt man. No wonder that history records the fact that the old man died without Gnding what he was in search of. Hard to Believe. it tabard to believe that a man was cured of a Kidney disease after bis body was swollen as big as a barrel and he had been giren up as incnrable and lay at death's door. Yet sacb a care wag accomplished by Kidnev-Wort in the person of M M. Devereaux of lonia, Mich , who says: "Afterthirteen of the best doctors in Detroit had given me up, I was cured by Kidney-Wort. I want every one to know what a boon it is. —Too great refinement is false delica cy ,aod true delicacy is solid refinement ▲ low condition of health is common with many who allow themselves to worry. Mental anguish caaaes bodily suffering?. Anxiety and care has broken down many constitutions. A train of disorders usually follow mental distress. Heart affections, nervousness, sloeplessnoss, dyspepsia, liver complaint kidney troubles, etc!, are among the list. A sure remHy for relieving all mental and physical distress is Brown's Iron Bitters. It at once strengthens every part of the body making work a pleasure and carc unknown. —He who waits to do a great deal of good at once will never do anything. The universal verdict, "Tho Hop Plaster is the best porous plaster ever made." Only 25 cts. Sorrow is as often the result of bodily punishment as it i 8 of truo repentance.

There are houses where people aia br.gLt wnbout mistrusting it; there are others where people are stupid in spite of themselves. —The next thing to excellence is to love excellence: and to love its opposite is to be its opposite. To hate excel lence is to be its opposite pole. —Poverty is hard, but debt is horrible. A man might as well have a smoky house and a scolding wile which are said to be the two worst evils of his life. fortunes together in one place, most would be glad to take their own home again, rather than take a portion out of the common stock. Mr. Frederick Singer, Slackwater, Pa., says: "I had dyspepsia for six years. I used Brown's Iron Bitters and felt immediate relief." —Political pressure—The candidate's fervent grip. The first lightning calculator— Benjamin Franklin. —A room hung with pictures is a room hung with thought*. —Old age is a hospital which re ceives all kinds of sickness. He who will not open his eyes mast open his pocketbook. Look out for bad half dollars. There said to be a good many in cir culation.
