CANDID ADVICE.-"I enn swim the
whirlpool at Niagara,'" said a stranger
ini a contidenItial whisper to a hardware
man on Woodward avenue yesterday.
"Can you?"'
"1 feel that I can. I should Jike
some advice from you. Would you try
it if you were me ?"
"bNo, sir-nto, sir,~ I wvouldnr't think
of such a thing. A mnan who hasn't
been in a bath-tub for a year, nor had
on a clean shirt for a month, wouldn't
stand the ghost of a show with a
whirlpool .You'd better go and tackle
a drink of water and gradually work
