Wordsworth Seemingly Unduly Proud of Simsle Joke. A rare old book, called The Living Authors of commences with a study Sf Words- worth, in which is recorded what is said to be the only joke the poet ewer made. At a friend’s house, after din- ner, it appears, the conversation turn- ed upon wit and humor. Thomas Moore, who was present, told some anecdotes of Sheridan, whereupon Wordsworth ob d that he did not consider him -a witty poet—“in- deed,” he said, “I do not think I was ever witty but once in my life.” d to tell the company al drollery was, the some hesitation: “Well I was standing some © entrance of my cot- aen a man ac- With the question, ‘Pray, een my wife pass by?” answered, Why my didn’t know till this you bad a wife!’” ared and upon realiz- all there was to the to a rear of laugh- orth’ smilingly ac- compliment to of his wit.

All in Courtroom Witnesses of the Judg&e Reversal. “I once attended some legal pro- ceedings in Nevada,’ says a Philadel- phia lawyer, “which were unconyen- tional, to say the least. The judge presiding made up what he lacked in legal lore by a certain entertainingly joviality. The case before him was windy and long drawn out, and it was plainly to be seen that he was tired and uninterested. To one of his de- cisions counsel for the defendant promptly took exception and his hon- ed carelessly and settled down 3s ‘or a moment or i two he quietly ar ed off to sleep. his chair tilted back against the wall. | Suddenly he fell over backward, and, g to his dignity and his seat, ht to clonk his mishap by ex- abruptly and irrelevantly: “No, ¢ lor, I must adhere to my deci of a moment ago,’ |. “Counsel fer the-defense arose, and, with a serious bow, said: ‘Ah, but your henor has just reversed himself | Tost conclusively.’ »—Harper’s Week- ly. Nirvana .of Buddhism. The Buddhist forbears to slaugh- ter animals, be it for food, sport or scientific purposes; he discredits the theory that they have been created for the use of. man, and that he has any right over them, The Buddha sat-and taught that every human be- ing, high or low, animal or human, while transmigreting in any of the ma- terial, semi-material or mnonmaterial worlds, is subject to aiterno‘e misery and illusive happiness, and that last- ing bliss is found only in Nirvana, He saw that the will to live.to enjoy was the cause of transmigrafion with its miseries, and that when through enlightenment this will ceases. Nir- vana is attained and transmigration or incarnation in earthly bodies , ceases. Picturesque California Woimen. The women grape-pickers of Cali- fornia are picturesque.

Odd Experience of a Man Who Cnce Wrote a Book. “T have been told,” said a man of experiences, “that it is net unusual for men to spend much thought and toil over inventions of one sort and another, only to find when they took these things to Washington to be pat-, ented that the same ideas had long before been worked out by somebody else and that patents had already been issued on them. I had that ex- perience, once, with a book. “I -spent fourteen years, once, writ- ing a book end I had it all but com- pleted. And then one day, stopping at a second-hand book stall, I picked up from among a lot of books offered at five cents each one that bore a title - in the very words that I had decided upon for the title of my book; and the opening sentence in this book was al- most identical with that in my own. “Somebody else had had the same idea that I had worked over so long, and had written and published a book about it fifty years before.” Duluth Branch Lake Shore Engine Works Marquette, Mick. 330’West Superior St., DULUTH, MINN. gines 1 to 40 H.

Few children reach the age of 8 years without having worked out a cosmology of their own and their own system of metaphysics. A group of youngsters of that mature age were going home from ‘school the other day when one began to instruct the others what to do in case ofa certain crisis. “When the end of the world comes do you know what you want to do?” asked the manikin. “Well, you want to give a little jump like this. The ‘world will slip out from under you and you'll light on the one a followin’ it and be all right.” Then the young- sters began practicing the sort of jump that was necessary to give them im- mortality.—Kansas City Times.
