A clergyman was fond of a particularly hot brand of pickles, and finding difficulty in procuring them at hotels when travelling invariably carried a bottle with him. One day, when dining with his pickles in front of him, a stranger sat down at the same table. Soon he asked the clergyman to pass the pickles. The latter did as he was requested, and in a few seconds noticed the stranger watering at the eyes and gasping for breath. " f see by your dress,” said the man when he had recovered, “ that you are a parson. you over preach about Hades?’' ,l Why, yes. Sometimes i deem it my duty to remind my congregation on that subject.” “ 1 thought so,” said the stranger, “ but you are the first in your line I ever mot who carried samples.” “ 1 would like to marry your daughter.” “ Have you money to support her?” “i have £30,000.”. “Is that the result of work?” ” Yes, my father worked all his life to obtain it.” A present all women appreciate —a bottle of No. t>s Lavender Water.
