THE
DRY EARTH SYSTEM!
For the Sewage of Towns, Factories,
Hospitals, Prisons, Hotels and
Private Houses.
VMl’LE experience has shown the Dry Earth
System to be more etticicut in preventing foul
smells, ami far le-s costly in construction amt re
pairs than the Water Clouet System; ami that it is
m all re-pects entirely satisfactory, whether lor the
Si« k Room or for constant use.
The Earth Closet offers to all, in town ami coun
try, every benefit possessed by the Water Closet, at
far less cost, with the additional advantages, that it
is portable, und can be moved to the bedside in the
sickroom.
Il promises more in immunity from offensive
odors, from infection in disease, and in the saving
of fertilizers than has ever been accomplished by
a single invention.
In the COMMODE, the apparatus and earth res
ervoir are self-contained, and a movable pail takes
the place of the vault.
For use in lied Rooms, Hospital Wards, Infirm
aries. the Commode is invaluable. It is entire
ly fret from those flint, depressing odors, common
tv portable tenter closets and night stools, and through
its admission one of the greatest miseries of human
life, the foul smells of the sick room, and one ol the
most frequent means of communicating infection,
may be entirely prevented.

When yu sec a tlok ov geese all stand
ing on ono leg, except the old gander,
and lie chawing hiz cud, look out for a
southwest wind tcw-inorrow, or the next
day. or the day after, or at sura fewter
time. Whenever dogs are seen traveling
around with nothing to do and old maids
refuse their tea, and hop vines wont climb,
and grind stones wont grind, then yu may
expekt a lite crop ov oats, and beans wont
pay for harvesting.
Wanted.—Wanted several fust class
yung men, with inustashes, tew hang
around the vestibules ov different churches
in Amcrika and stare at the females as they
pass out. Yung men who understand the
use ov tobacco prefered. No yung man
accepted who kant stare the brass buttons
oph troui a military coat at twenty paces,
'this iz a rare chance for young men ov

The cockroach iz a bug at large. lie iz
one of the luxurys ov civilizashun. The
cockroach iz born on the fust ov Alay, and
the fust of November semi-annually, and
iz reddy for use in fifteen days from date.
They are born four trom each egg, and
consequently they are all twins; Untie iz
uu steu thing in the annals ov nature as a
single cockroach. Their food seems to
cousist, not so much ov what they eat, az
what they kan get into, and often finding
them ded, in Uie soup, at mi boarding
bouse, 1 have cum tew the painful conclu
sion! that the eockroach kan’t swim, but
that he kau tloat for a long time.
To make good sharp pickles, whittle

Blessed are they who have uo eye for a

Tew freshen a salt mackerel, tow him

it is tinman to err, but devilish tew brag
on it.
A gentleman iz a gentleman the world
over; it iz only the loafers that differ.
To learn a dog tew follow well, tie him
tew the hind end ov an express train.
Tew get rid of eoekroehes, sell yure

A dog is the only thing on this earth that
luvs yu more than he luvs himself.
Opinyuns are like turnips, worth what

Courage without disc reshun iz like a
ram with horns on both euds, he will hav

When wejfind a man who is very solisi

kan safely put him down az one who iz
hunting tor a misfortune.
Don’t undertake tew liv with yure

Lazyness iz a good deal like money, the
more a man liuz ov it the more he seems
tew want.
Gravity iz no more positiff evidence ov
wisdum, than a paper collar is ov a shirt.
Every time a man laffs he takes a kink
out ov the chain ov life, and thus length

To make boarding house hash, take a
little oi everything, a good deal ov noth

jam to a mush, cook over a kold tire, sea
