This was too much, and she gave him a terrible look, and returned him his
ten cents, saying, "Do you think, sir, because you are a Chicago drummer,

We would not advise any lady whose mouth is small to worry about this new
fashion, and try to enlarge the one nature has given her. Large mouths
will have their run in a few brief months and will be much sought after by
the followers of fashion, but in a short time the little ones that pout,
and look cunning, will come to the front and the large ones will be for
rent. The best kind of a mouth to have is a middling sized one, that has a
dimple by its sides, which is always in style.

Under this heading I can think of nothing that appears more appropriate
than the subject of the artificial propagation of fish. It is a subject
that has arrested the attention of many of the ablest minds of the
country, and the results of experiments have been thus far so satisfactory
that it is almost safe to predict that within the next ten centuries every
man, however poor, may pick bull-heads off of his crab apple vines and
gather his winter supply of fresh shad from his sweet potato trees at less
than fifty cents a pound.
