MISCELLANEOUS.

The distinction of being tke tallest man in the British army no longer belongs to Captain Ames, of the Life Guards, a recent recruit to the Grenadiers having usurped his lofty position. This Grenadier who by tho way is an Irishman, is 23 years of age, stands six feet eight and i •> height, and has a chest medfSfiement of inches. A registry of the development of this son of Anak at the end of each year of training would be of considerable value, as it would give an idea of the extent the best material enlisted can be improved upon. A couple of youngsters stood watching a oerformance on a trombone. Suddenly, seizing his companion’s arm, one cried excitedly : *'Enr goodness* sake, look at that.” “What’s ihe matter?” asked the other. “Look! he’s done it a gain.” “Done what ?” “Why, crowded more’u half that instrument into his mouth. Weil if that don’t beat everything.” “What are you buying now?” “I am looking tor some present to give my wife on her birthday. 1 tel! you, making presents costs a heaporraouey.’ “Why don’t you do as Ido ? I have never failed to make my wife a present on her birthday every year for

twenty-five years, and I am not out a penny thus far.” “How do you manage it?” “It is very simple. After we were married, when her birthday came round I gave her a £5 note. When my birthday came round she gave the note back, and we have kept that up ever since, and neither of us a re out a penny.” Mothers whose children are troub'ed with

bad colds, croup or whooping-cough will io well to rend what Dr.R.E. Robey, of Oinay. Mo., says on this sdbject. He writes : “For years we have used Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, and always keep it in the house. It is regarded in our family an a specific for all kinds of colds and naughs. For sale by 0.F.A..
