boils and running sores. It stimulates
liver, kidneys and bowels, expels
poison's, helps digestion, builds up the

CHOICE SLANG IMPORTED.
New York Picks Up the Latest X-ondon
fiXoDStroal-ies.
New York fashionables now borrow
their slang from London. Americanisms are considered vulgar. In what
is called good society on this side
such phrases as "bounder," not quite
a cad, hut a fellow who is not a gentleman; "crummy," meaning the reverse of cranky; "quid," for roll of
money and "a regular toff" for a
would-be swell, are common. The
company you keep can be told by your
slang vocabulary. The "400" now dub
the weather "beastly"; an ugly day is
called "nasty," and the chappies frequently ejaculate "By Jove!" which is
considered very English. " 'Pon
honor" is another favorite. A dress
must be called a gown, clerks are
"clarks," and it is correct, though
rather extreme, to say "111 wager a
pound." "Now we shan't be long," is
a slang phrase of recent importation
and wide usefulness. Many of the
words that are now current in the
best society were once gutter children.
"Drag" was a thieves' term for carriage. There are more slang synonyms for money than any other word
in the language, and, almost without
exception, London is their birthplace.
It is called "the actual," "the needful,"
"the wherewithal," "tin," "brass,"
"plunk," "chips," "dibs," "pieces,"
"dust," "chink," "spots," "shot,"
"sheckles," "spondulicks," "stamps,"
"feathers," "palm oil" and "oof." Our
colleges copy the slang of the English
universities. A student always goes
"up" to the "varsity." The final exam,
on which degrees are obtained is called
"greats," which is an Oxford term.
When a man failed at an exam, he
once said he was "plucked," now
"plowed" is the fashiouable word for
the same disaster. To be expelled or
suspended is called to be "rusticated."
Even the Bowery, which is usually
original in everything, unconsciously
falls into London slang. "Bloke,"
"crib," "pinch," for take without
leave; "gone up the soput," "a big
dotty," for cranky or a little off; "hit
the pipe," "brass," a "fence," "pal,"
"kid him"—all these have come from
the London slums.—New York World.
Beer In Brazil.
Few sights are funnier than to see
a Brazilian drinking beer and putting
ice in the glass to cool it. In that
equatorial country no attempt is made
to keep the beer cool before it is
drawn. In the wholesaler's house it
is cooled before delivery, but if the
man who drinks it doesn't like its temperature in goes a bit of ice, if it is
handy. Brazilian beer can he chilled
only once, and it is undrinkable over
night. Bahia draws its beer supply
from Rio Janeiro and San P-aulos
breweries, which make for the most
part light beer. A glass of beer is
called "chopps," and it selis for 600
reis, or 9 cents. Teutonia Halle in
Bahia, the only establishment in the
town that approaches the dignity of a
saloon, sells as many as three and
sometimes six kegs of beer a day.
There is another place in town whose
sales average two kegs a day. A keg
once opened has to be sold before the
day is over or else it spoils, for refrigerators are unknown. Most of the
lower classes buy cheap Wines, and especially the native rum, "cachaca," a
glassful of which costs only 40 reis.
So with them the drinking of beer is a
cultivated taste. At society functions
it is the custom to have all kinds of
drinks in a room set aside especially
for that purpose. Beer in the cask is
on tap at the weddings of the Four
Hundred.

Plymouth Binding Twine
A Comparative Statement showiug the Cost and Value of Binding
Twine, based on the supposition that a farmer needs, to bind his grain,
800 pounds of Plymouth Sisal, or Standard Twine, which runs 505 feet
■to the pound.
Three hundred pounds of Plymouth Siaudard or Sisal will give him
151,500 feet.
weighs 800   lbs. @ Ucwil! cost $42 00
weighs 315} lbs. @14c will cost $44 19
weighs 3221 lbs. @ 14c will cost $45.13
weighs 3363 lbs. (a. 14c will cost $47.13
iol,500 ft. of 430 ft. to tha lb., weighs 352J lbs. @ 14c will cost $49 33
We have recently tested twine sent u? for examination, that averaged
a little less than 430 feet to the pound.
The PLYMOUTH Twines lire the only ones of these grades that run
505 feet to the found. You save by buying them, over the lowest
grade, §7.33 on 300 pounds, or $2.4- per 100; or 2 44-100 cents per
pound. Therefore, if Plymouth sells for 14 cents par pound, the other
should sell for 11 66-100 cents, to be as cheap, and others in* proportion
The Moral is. buy PLYMOUTH Twiue, aud save money, arid the
annoyance of loose bundles, caused.by poor twine.
