The artist picked it up and read the name. “Tell the gentleman,” he said, “that I am not in.”—Answers.

Somehow his appearance, instead of occasioning applause, created an undercurrent of sympathy. All wes stillness; he had not yet spoken. At last a member of the audience ventured to express the sentiments of the house. “I hope we are not keeping you up. sir,” he suggested kindly.—Tit-B'ts. A LONG STRETCH Thomas Edison, in a newspaper in- terview, says the manufacture of syn- thetic rubber is a slow proces. You have to make it slow to make it snappy.—Life.
