Whya Woman Can't Throwe Stone.

The practice of a whole lite will not enable a woman to throw a stone with grace and accuracy. It was one of the most knotty and physiological prob- lems which presented itself to our youthful mind why our big sister, when she tried to throw a snowball at us, al- most invariably sent it careening over the top of the house, while we in turn could pop her in the ear almost every time. It may be that we took a mean advantage of this discrimination of Na- ture in our behalf against our sister, and it may be that we improved the opportunity to rake her fore and aft whenever she came within firing dis- tance. But that is neither here nor there. As the time passed on, and we} increased our stock of observation, we saw the other fellows’ sisters labored under about the same disadvantage that ours did in the matter of throwing any kind of missile. Why this marked and unmistakable difference existed we never learned until, at a somewhat ad- vanced period, we dove into a book of physiology and learned that the clavi- cle, or collar-bone, in the anatomy of a female is some inches longer, and set some degrees lower down than in the masculine frame. This long, crooked, awkward bone interferes with the full and free action of the shoulder,and that’s the reason why a girl cannot throw a stone. The design of this sort of thing is still unexplained to our entire satis- faction. We have developed a pet theory of our own, however, that an all-wise and beneficent Providence fore- seeing that there would be rolling-pins, and stove-hooks, pot-lids, and hot water in the world, set the woman's clavicle down a hitch or two for the safety of men. It’s lucky for all of us that women cannot throw stones.

sideline An Irish Story.

One of the Boston (Mass.) restau- rants bousts of an Irish Munchausen who acts in a humble capacity of waiter, and adds much to the entertainment of guests. One of them, dm being served with a small lobster, asked, Do you call that a lobster, Mike ?”

‘Paix, I believe they do be callin’ them lubsters here, sur. We call ’em crabs at home.”

“Oh!” said the diner, “ you have lok- sters in [reland ?”

Ts it lobsters ? Begorrah, the creeks is full of ‘em. Many a time have I seen ‘em when I’ve lepped over the sthrames.”’

‘* How long do lobsters grow in Ire land ?”

“Well,” said Mike, thoughtfully, “to spake widin bounds, sur, [’d say 4 mat- ter of five or six feet.”

“What! Fiveor six feet? Howdo they get around in those crecks ?”

‘ Bedad, sur, the creeks in Ireland are fifty or sixty feet wide,” said the unabashed Mike.

“ But,’ said the persistent inquirer, “ you said you had seen them when you were leaping over the streams, and lob siers here live in the sea.”

“Deed i did, sur. We're poweriul leppers in Ireland. Asfur the say, sur, I’ve seen it red with ’em.”

“ But, look here, my fine fellow,” said the guest, thinking he had cornered the Hibernian at last, “lobsters are not red until they are boiled.”

“Don't | know that ?” said Mike, re- proachfully; ‘“ but there are bilin’ springs in the ould country, an’ they swim throo ’em, an’ come out ready fur yer to erack open an’ ate,” and Mike walked calmly off to wait upon the next guest, leaving his interlocutor to digest the Jobster and the story.

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement ef the Christian Era,

Thore never has been a time wen the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been caused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

DR. MELVIN’S CAPpstcUM PoROUS PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than anyother plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physiciansin all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or Jess used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered.

Seing, however, convineed of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. M@rLvrn’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually pressribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment.
