Uncle Jack came to visit the family Just after Johnny had recovered from an attack of the whooping cough. “How did you amuse yourself while’ you had it?” he asked. “Me and another boy who had it played Indians and gave warwhoops,” answered the little fellow.—Chicago News. Plenty In Reserve. A man who had been fighting gof two black eyes. Next morning he met a friend, who exclaimed: “Why, Jack, where have you been? You've got two black eyes!” “That's nbothing,” he replied. *“I could have got plenty more, only I had no place to put them.” Pleasant. Strange Guest—/ don't kniow half the people in the room.

McKee of the Baptist church has received the following poem from his friend John Cannavan of Killycolpy, Stewartown, county Tyrone, Ireland:) No more you roving tourists About your health may pine; Nor seek fair Italy's sultry grove, Where spreading grows the vine But come where bracing breezes And sunbeams dance all day On lovely Coney Tsland, That stands in sweet lough Neagh. Come visit this green island If your spirits are depressed, Inhale the scented breezes When in summer robes its dressed; You' will leave with hearts as lightsome Asthe little lambs that play, Round the slopes of old Slievegallon In the flowery month of May. Come see the Emerald Island Whe. e the great St. Patrick trod, Where resting from his labours That he might commune with God, And view the lofty Slemish Mount That he often used to clime, Where for his pagon master He herded sheep and swine, And you will see the ancient ruins ‘Where St. Coney found a home, ‘Where from the vengance of Oneil She fled from green Tyrone, She left for aye, Killyconeywood And the church that bore the name That lies within the boundary Of Lord Charlemont’s demense. On the old historic island how A lovely cottage stands, That even Royalty might envy For the view that it commands. Before it wrearhed in flowers Lies a lovely smiling green, And beauteous are the Emerald robes That deck Lough Neagh's queen. It would take the gifts great Byron had Its beauties to protray, ‘When Phoebns gives his good-night kiss From off Drumcairn’s brae. For art and nature has bestowed Gifts to this isle so rare, That never has the Grecian hills At sunset smiled more fair. Oh; may brighter be its mantle As the seasons come and go, And more sparkling be the wavelets That around it ebbs and flows. And its health restoring breezes Prolong for years to come, The life of Viscount Charlemont To enjoy his Island home. Aaron Burr’s Grave. Aaron Burr died at Port Richmond, Staten Island, Sept. 14, 1836. His re- mains were conveyed to Princeton, N. J., where, according to his request, he was interred at the feet of his father and grandfather. Both his father and grandfather were presidents of Prince- ton college. Concerning the tombstone which marks his burial place, we quote from the history of his life by Parton: “Some efforts were made and some money subscribed soon after his death to procure a suitable monument, but the project failed. For npearly two years the spot where he lay was un- marked when one morning it was dis- covered that a small, very substantial and not inexpensive monument of granite and marble had been placed during the night over his remains. No one in the town saw the monument erected or knew anything whatever respecting it. There was no stonecut- ter in the vicinity capable of execut- ing the work. The stone bears the in- scription: *Aaron Burr. Born Febru- ary, 6, 1756. Died. September 14, 1836." "—Philadelphia Press. The Presidential Salute. One esplanation of the reason for adopting twenty-one guns as the presi- dential salute is that there might be maintained a ‘uniformity in national salutes, Great Britain having in the distant past adopted twenty-one as the number for the royal salute. Of the many surmises as to why the number twenty-one was settled upon we men- tion two—first, that twenty-one was the number of years fixed by English law as the age of majority; second, that seven was the original salute and three times seven would signify one seven for each of the divisions, England and Wales, Scotland and Ire- land. It is asserted that the United States adopted this salute to signify to the mother country that her child had reached his majoriy and was pre- pared in law to inherit the land and to this end fired the “gun of 1776,” the figures of which year, 1+7+7+6, equal 21.—Philadelphia Press. Underground Hotels. An extraordinary hotel is that in the sewers of Paris, immediately be- low the Church of St. Madeleine. It was built and is conducted solely for the benefit of the sewer workers. Nearly a hundred meals are provided every day, and for the sum of $240 a man can be comfortably housed and fed for a week in this gigantic drain- pipe. Very similar is the hotel twhich ca- ters for visitors to the coal mine of St. Plerre at Mons. It is to be found at the bottom of the mine, 600 feet be- low the earth, and is carved out of solid coal. The electric light on the glittering black walls, which have been left unpapered, is extremely ef- fective. Large reception and bed rooms splendidly fitted up are provid- ed, and the hotel even boasts the lux- ury of a swimming bath. i & = e < * Played Them Both Ways. The French comedian; Perlet_was ex- traordinarily -thin. ' A physician recom- mended bim to try some bath in the Pyrenees, so he betook himself to the mineral springs, where he bathed un- remittingly, but all in vain; be did not Increase in size. “Patience,” urged the doctor. “There is nothing like our baths for making people fat” One day while Perlet was waiting philo- sophically in his bath for an embon- point which never came he heard a conversation in the next room, from which his own was divided by only a thin partition and which was occu- pied by an enormous woman, fat as the Hottentot Venus. *Doctor,” said she, “I am getting tired of this.” *“Why?” asked the Aesculapius. *I have been here two months.” *“Well?” “Well, 1 am as enormous as I was when 1 came.” “A little patience, madame,” urged the doctor. “There IS nothing like our baths for making people thin.” Perlet, hearing these words, sprang out of his bath, dressed, rushed home to his hotel, ordered his bill and left for Paris by the next tn}in.—ArgonauL 3 A Simple Life. “And what,” inquired the visitor, who was “being nice” to little Bobbie, “are you going to do when you grow up?’ *“Be a business man,” responded Rob- ert, “like father, He took me down to his office last week, and I'm going to work like him and have a good time.” “And what are you going to do in business?” pursued the visitor. “Going to do just like dad,” repeated the youngster—*catch the train every morning and when 1 get to the office light a big cigar and sit down at my desk and say there’s so much work to do it’s no use beginning till after lunch, and then go out with another big man and eat and eat till I can’t eat any more, and then go back to business and ask everybody else why the work ain't done, and then get so mad because nobody does anything that I'll go bome early and be so tired I can’t do a thing except read the paper and smoke more big cigars and swear,”— Pearson’s. Florists’ Jargon. The florists have a trade jargon of their own. When a man who grows flowers for a living rattles off some- thing like “paper whites, valleys and Romans” the confused layman has to stop to think what the jumble of words means. It is only the trade way of say- ing paper white narcissus, lily of the valley and Roman hyacinth. Likewise “mum” is their word for chiysanthe- mum, and time and space are likewise saved by saying “cyp" instead of cypripedium. So Bridesmaid roses are “malds,” American Beauties are “beau- ties,” Perle du Jardin becomes *“perle” and is pronounced pearl, while Souve- pir du President Carnot is reduced to its last word. just as those other illus- trious French rose names, General Jacqueminot and Marechal Niel,. where shortened to “Jack™ and *Niel” in the heyday of their glory. — New York Press. Sir Walter Scott’s Debts. The Ballantyue failure threw upon Sir Walter Scott the responsibility for £130,000, or $650,000, and the grand old man immediately set about the mighty task of paying it; but, notwithstanding the most heroic efforts on his part, he never succeeded in paying it all. He did the best he could, but he had to depend solely upon his writings, and the task was more than mortal man could accomplish. As his powers fail- ed he became possessed of the idea that all his debts were paid and that he was a free man, and in this belief he happily remained till his death.— New York American.
