A poet, a pair of trousers across his knee, sat in his attic trying to thread a needle, “The proper way,” he said, “is to hold the thread still and push the nee- dle toward it or to hold the needle still and push the thread toward it. Mark Twain says both ways are right. Then he says they are both wrong.” Taking down “The Prince and the Pauper,” the poet read: “He did as men have always done and probably always will do to the end of time—held the needle still and tried to thrust the thread through the eye, which is the opposite of a wo- man’s way.” Then the poet, taking down “Huckle- berry Finn,” read: “‘Bless you, child, when you set out to thread a needle don’t hold the thread still and fetch the needle up to it. Hold the needle still and poke the thread at it. That's the way a wo- man most always does, but a man al- ‘ways does t'other way.’” Who Would Want to Be a Lama? The lama pilgrims among the Tibet- an Hindoos. as they pursue their moun- tain pilgrimages, literally measure off the distance with their bodies. The | distinguished traveler Sven Hedin, writing of his discoveries in Tibet in Harper’s Magazine, describes them as Iying down full length on the ground, making a mark on the road, rising and stepping forward to the mark, once more to fall full length. One such walking journey as this, says Dr. Hedin, equals thirty ordinary ones. Among the lamas also are to be found those who immure themselves in a idark cave for life, food being passed in thtough a passage or hole under- ground. Should the dish be one day | untouched those outside may know that the sacrificial prisoner has died— seated, since all good lamas must die. seated, in the wooden frame which | was fashioned for him when he was | entombed. Useless. There was some speculation as to whether the instrument would benefit the old gentleman or not. One was holding the ear trumpet, while anoth- er was explaining its use and showing old Mr. Borrows how to hold it to his ear. “Say something to him through it, Joe,” said one to the other. Now, Joe had long waited for an op- portunity to reach Mr. Borrows’ ear. So, speaking very distinctly into the trumpet, he said: “You’ve not paid me that sovereign you owe me yet, Mr. Borrows.” But the old gentleman put the in- strument down, with disappointment on his face, and they could see it was a failure even before he had time to say: “That thing’s not a bit of good to me!” And he sighed, but his sigh was not 80 deep as that which came from Joe. —London Express. Talking Down. The superintendent of a Sunday school class in Philadelphia recently called upon a visitor to “say a few words” to the class, the members of which are mostly children of tender age. The visitor, a speaker well known for his verbose and circumlocutory mode of speech, began his address as follows: “This morning, children, I purpose to offer you an epitome of the life of ‘St. Paul. It may be perhaps that there are among you some too young to grasp the meaning of the word ‘epitome.” ‘Epitome,’ children, is in its signification synonymous with sy- nopsis.”—Philadelphia Ledger. Explosive Diamonds. A curious fact about diamonds is that it is not uncommon for the crys- tals to explode as soon as they are brought up from the mine. Sometimes they have burst in the pockets or the warm hands of miners, due to the ef- fect of increased temperature. Large stones are more likely to do *his than small ones. Valuable stones have been destroyed in this way. To safeguard them some dealers place large dia- monds in raw potatoes for safe trans- port from South Africa. Nonreversible. Lang—Didn’t you tell me that you made yourself solid with Mrs. Vane by asking her if she was herself or her daughter—couldn’t tell them apart, and so on? Strang—I did. What about it? | Lang—Why, I tried the same gag with the daughter, and it didn’t go for a cent.—Boston Transcript. Took the Cue. “Now,” said the teacher, who had been describing the habits of bears, “what is the fiercest animal in the polar regions, Johnny?’ “Why—er—er,” stammered Johnny. “Come, don’t you remember? The pol’— “Oh, sure; the polecat!”—Philadel- phia Press. An Explanation. Little Dot—Mamma, I was playing with your best tea set while you were away, and when you bring it out for company youwll be shocked, ’cause you’ll think one of the cups has a hair in it, but it isn’t a hair. Mamma— What is it? Little Dot—It's only a crack.—Pick-Me-Up. Called the Turn. - “What’s the old lady doing now?" asked the old stocking in the work basket. “She’s getting out her ncedle and' yarn,” replied the scissors. “Well, well,” exclaimed the stocking, “T'll be darned.”—Philadelphia Press.
