EGGS AND “PER CAPITA." _ Somebody has discovered that the great American hen Is averegipg just now a lay of 42,500,000 eggs per dny. If they are to be used far Haster decoration, they must ettll behang-painted. Cannot some inventive genius give the hen a hand and mske her achievement still more marvellous? ~ However, the real point of the matter is otherwise. According to the latest approved Treasury figures, tha money of all kinds in cireniation in the United States to-day would yleld on equal division $29.75 per head for the population. And, with the division once made, that. ‘would be the end of it. Tt is different with the eggs. A ycar's share ip the year's supply for the country would be 208 eggs per person. At current New York prices, the market value of this share would be only $3.20. But the eggs would keep coming for long months and there would be at least @ hundred good breakfasts out of them. A Governor called upon to settle a dispute between Colonia!

Lawson was taliing Boston Gas, But OUTSIDE THE PALE. le George Thompson, who has spent more than -three years of his life in Jail and ts about to add to this record, avers that the prospect is pleasing. “Prison {s like home to me," says Thompson, adding “T am a crook, and will be one.” Thompsen is representative of a class, happily not large. He is 2 professional criminal. When an individual of this type reaches the stage where he acknowledges the truth, and takes pride in it, there {3 no help for him. He is outside the pale. He cannot be reformed, for his moral nature possesses no element responsive to a pleading, Of course Thompson blames soctety, but not justly. ‘The intelligent, educated man, who holds that no career but lagylessness is open to bim, names the only career thiat Is to his liking. Yet society is not without fault {n this matter. Long ago it should have given Thompson his proper status, a process necegsarily involving imprisonment fpr life, and avoiding the annoyeas aud expense of a procession of trial.

Whiskers, Pessimism, Dr. Parkhurst and the Lid. 66 SEE,” said the Cigar Store Man, “that Dr. Park~ | hurst says the lid is off.” “You may have observed, too,” answered the Man Higher Up, “that Dr. Parkhurst has grown a full and complete set of whiskers. Consequently he is aa pessimistic as a whole foree of brewery workers on @ rainy day. The connection between whiskers and pes- simism {s marked and Dr. Parkhurst has not succeeded in escaping tt. “In the days when Dr. Parkhurst wore a decoration an his chin that looked lke a closed padlock he ad- mitted once in a while that somewhere the bands might be playing and the sun might be shining and there might be enjoyment. Now al! the optimism he ever possessed has run to his facial drapery and he would be willfng to advocate a bill to spell ‘gloom’ with capital letters. ; “He began to sow his whole visage to whiskers last winter just before the McCiellan admintstration went to bat. Byen while the formerly uncultivated places stiowed nothing but stubble, he prophesied that the lid would be off on the first of January. Now he looks like an ‘ad’ for a hair restorer and thinks that the lid is a hole in the ground. “Next to Dr. Parkhurst the star. pessimist about mounicipel affairs is Frank Moss. He carrtes weight for age tn whigkers, In all probabiliiy he never wore his face bare in his life after he got old enough to furnish exercise for a razor. Dr. Slicer, another officer in the pessimistic army, has a fine selection of zoo-z008, and nearly all the Citizens’ Union leaders wear special designs. “Tolstol, the most consistent pessimist in the world, has en equipment of whiskers he could sleep on. Even Richard Croker was a pessimist after he upholstered his jaws. He was always looking for the worst of it, and after a while he got it. About the only optimists with whiskers I ever ran across were the men who parted their beards at the middle of the chin. A man who has the nerve to do thia and get away with it has a license to think that the world is a kind place to live in.” “Did you ever know a pessimist who wore his mag unscreened?” asked the Cigar Store Man. “One, only,” replied the Man Higher Up. “He waa a kindhoarted bartender who went into business for himself because lis boss's customers advised him ta Ever since the brewery took his place away from hin he has been a pessimist in three colors and a tint.”* Pointed Paragraphs, Any schoolgirl knows that a kiss is a conjunotion, Give a hungry man something to eat perore handing him advice.
