S city, and merits the patronage of the|. city last evening from a business; Something of That Kind. “Young man,” said the serious gen- tleman, “did you ever pause and think that each tick of the clock brings you another moment nearer to the end of your existence ?”” “I was thinking of something of that kind this very minute,” cheerfully re- plied the youth, “only the idea struck me that each tick brought pay day that much nearer.” A Puzzler, An old white haired darky living on a plantation, not feeling well, had the doctor pay him a visit.

The proprietor of a plumbing estab. ‘llshment downtown has a poor opinion lof goat initiations, A young man, cate into his plumbing shop and asked to see an ex- pensive porcelain bathtub. The pro- prietor explained at length the good qualities of a certain make, “This seems to be an excellent one,” sald the young man. Without warning he jumped into the bathtub, drew his coat closely around him and exclaimed: “Quick, turn on the water! I want totry it” The proprietor thought he was in. sane and, soothing -his head, said, “There, there, you're all right.” “Yeés,” the ~young man . gurgled, splashing in the imaginary water; “it’s very comfortable.” Then he began to squirm and splut- ter. 3 “Quick, quick!” he cried. the water!

Just at this moment two other young men, a trifle older, entered. “Well, Bobby, had your bath?” they inquired. “Yes “Then come down. to the vegetarian restaurant and order a side of roast beef.”—New York Globe. “Turn oft Good as & Corkscrew. “Do you know how to take a tight cork out of a bottle without a cork- screw?” was asked by a woman the other day at a gossip party. “It's a mighty good thing to. know in an emergency. “My sister and I were coming back from the mountains, and she got faint on the cars. I had a bottle of .aro- matic spirits of ammonia in my bag, but when I tried-to get the cork out 1 simply couldn’t make it budge. “‘Let me take it out.for you,’ sug- gested a man across the aisle, “Then, borrowing my pocketknife and using his own with it, he removed the cork in a jiffy. He inserted the blades on opposite sides between the bottle and the cork, each one turned in a different direction. Then when the blades were firmly pushed in he simply pressed the two together, gave them a wrench sideways, and the cork came out without any trouble. I have since tried it on larger bottles with success. It is a trick worth knowing.” —Exchange. The Quest of Truth. . It is a good deal easier to poke fun at history than to write history merit- ing credence. Mr. Bodley when writ- ing his “France” experienced the force of this in a curious way. He shut himself up in France for years .to get the atmosphere and the knowledge necessary for his work. One of his trials arose over some question of elect- oral jurisprudence. It was not of in- ternational importance, but still inter- esting to students of comparative pro- cedure. Therefore he wrote to a dep- uty who is a parllamentary expert to clear up the obscurity In which the text books involve the point and incor: porated his reply in the text of the book. Later, being invited by an ex- perienced mayor to be present at a poll over which he presided, Mr. Bod ley put the question to him.and re- ceived a quite different reply. Finally the author referred the point to a senator of indisputable authority, who showed that the deputy and the mayor. were both wrong.—8t. James’ Gazette. Woman's Wit. An emperor of Germany besleged a city which belonged to one of his rebel- lious noblemen. After the siege had lasted for-a long time the emperor de- termined to take:it by storm and to de- stroy all it contained by fire and sword. He did not, however, wish .to injure the defenseless women; therefore, he Sent a proclamation. into the town, say- ing that all the women might leave the place unhurt -and carry with them ‘whatever they held most precious.' The nobleman’s wife instantly decided to take her.husband, and the other wo- men followed her example. They soon issued from the city gate in a long pro- cession, each one with her husband. on her shoulders. The emperor was &0 much struck with the noble conduct of the women that he spared all; even the city itself was left untouched. Wouldn’t Tip It. A Toronto man who visited England last summer appears .to think that country -the champion tip taker. : He says: “Well, I had fipped every man from the swell gent who seemed’ to own the house of commons down. to the hireling who gummed the wrong labels on my luggage, and I went into the waiting room on the landing stage at Liverpool to wash my hands of ev- erything English,and what do you think stared me in the face when I had fin- ished?

" The successful merchant. invited his parents to visit him in New York city. They came gladly and on the following :Babbath were escorted to a fashiona: ble church in Fifth avenue. Some of the hymns were familiar. In thelr ren- dition the visiting pair contribnted heavily, with the credit for volume In favor of the father. Although mnot al- ways in correct time and sometimes in discord, yet the joy of this good couple, leaped forth in joyous praise, and they did not see the glowering looks of nearby worshipers or the beetlike face of thelr devoted son. “Father,” explained the merchant that afternoon while his mother, was taking her accustomed nap, “in our churches the congregations do very lit- tle singing. It i3 left entirely to the chofr.” 7 “I know, my boy,” sald the old man as he lovingly placed a band on his son’s shoulder, “that it was very em- barrassing to you this morning, but it I hadn’t sung as loudly as I did the people would have heard your moth: er.”—New York Press, Muskrats. Rare old Captain John Smith in his quaint “History -of New England and don in 1624, gives probably the first written account of the muskrat. He says that “the mussacus is a beast ot the form and nature of our (English), water rat” and adds that “some ofl] them smell exceedingly strong of musk.” These animals may be caught in almost any sort of trap balted with sweet apples or parsnips. Musk- use them on wood effectively, so it s wise to protect all corners and cracks in your wooden traps with pleces ot tin or sheet iron. They have good noses and can smell an apple a long distance off. Place your traps in the shallow water at the edge of the mill pond or stream inhabited by these rats. and they will doubtless find 1t without difficulty. Young muskrats are very gentle and playful and may be handled without fear. They do not grow flerce with age if reared in captivity and ac- customed to gentle treatment. Receiving Tommy. There Is a certain inspector of schools who prides himself on his original method of examining, but occasionally his originality receives a shock. In 'a fatherly manner ‘he had gathered a class of young children round him ané soon had their open mouthed atten- tion. “Now, suppose that you and I were playing a game of marbles,” he sald to little Tommy Jomes. “You have ten marbles and I have eight.” The class gathered closer round. “At the end of the game you have ‘won half of my marbles, and of course I want to play again to win them back.” The children pressed even nearer. “At the ‘end of the second game I win half of those you now have. Tell me"—excitement waxed intense—‘“tell me,” he continued, “how many mar- bles you are left with?” With a look of inexpressible disgust the boy addressed fell back. “Why, Bllly,” he sald, - “blowed if it ain’t Infant Prodigies. In nine out of ten cases your infant prodigy $8 a musician. Among paint- ers the prodigy of prodigies was Sir Thomas Lawrence. One of his earliest plctures, it is said, was produced in 1775, quite early enough, for the love- 1y cherub who painted it was then six years old. He was getting on in life, tottering on the verge of twelve, when the quality crowded his studio "at Bath. The fates were kind to the in- fant prodigy when they made his fa- ther landlord of the Black Bull, De- vizes, the inn where fashionable men and women called for rest and refresh- ment on their way to the waters. At the Black Bull the prodigy made his first acquaintance with the great world which flattered him in after life and which he flattered on canvas.—St. James’ Gazette. —_ Jean Richepin’s Career.

For some time he had picked ap a precarious livelihood by doing ‘“odd jobs,” including such prosaic oc- cupations as that of bootblack and casual porter on the Qual Marseilles.
