T: he let ut and told the jurymen in plain Eng- ish what he thought of a set of men who would render such a travesty on ustice. In conclusion he said: ‘I guess will have this jury polled,’ and was «bout to give an order to that effect when the foreman, a great, strapping fellow, a plantation hand, black as the ace of spades, rose evidently in great mental perturbation, and said: ““No, Jedge, yer Honah, please don't poll us—poll dat little bow-legged law- yer over dere: he was de one what told us to find Bill Jones not guilty.’ ”— Washington Post.

She beamed, and opened her ordey book. ’ he continued, suavely, “it does mot say of a certain writer: ‘She is prouder of her pork pies than of her poems.’ ” “I—I believe in one biography there is mention of something of the sort.” “Is there an assertion that another hor pays attention to every detail of housework and takes particu) pains that dust shali never be permi ted to gather in her domain?” “I—I think there is.” “Does one paragraph declare that 2 svell-known novelist makes a boast of @arning her table damask with No. 153 ahread?” “TI recall a reference to that effect.” “And is it averred of another celebrity that she fashions and remodels her gowns with such skill that her neigh- bors and associates believe them Paris- fan-made?” “That is, indeed, said of a brilliant poetess.” “And is it also asserted in any part that a popular woman of the pen takes more pleasure in the knowledge that the suppers prepared in the chafing-dish by her own hands are exceedingly success- ful than in the popularity of her nov- els?” “There” (faintly) “is something of the sort.” “So Isupposed. When you bring mea book dealing with what women have done in literature without any apology for their having presumed to do it I shall gladly buy the volume. I have not read that Ruskin put his ability for chopping kindling-wood above his bril- Nant criticism. I never heard that the chief argument in favor of Howells was his deftness in putting up stovepipes. It is yet to be announced that Riley takes less pride in his poems than in white- washing a cellar. There may be people who think that a compensatory domes- tic sop should be offered to the Cerberus of mediocrity by every woman who ven- tures to send her soul beyond the four walls of the kitchen. But such people ‘vould not buy the book anyway. They would borrow it. They shall not borrow it from me. Good-morning!”—Puck. A Born Diplomat.

A wrong guess would lead to complications awful to think of. But a happy thought inspired Charley, and he announced: “It’s the dearest, sweet- est little girl in all the world.” “Oh, you lovely boy!” gurgled the sat- isfied one, as she removed her hands. And now Charley thinks of applying for a foreign ministry, feeling that his talents would be wasted in any other diplomatic field.—Puck. One Limitation.

THE CAMELIAS. = Ay The Hon. Mrs. Maltravers. Ae Fraser, her Gardener, ancient, auto- cratic, and well-meaning. yi Scene: A Conservatory. I stay simply — “Misa Mrs. Maltravers—“It is very singular, | Fraser, that we shouldn’t have a single camelia. Now Sir Francis’ houses—I sew them only the other day—are full of them.” Fraser—“There’s a wulgarity, mum, about camelias as it doesn’t surprise me Sir Francis—begging your pardon if he’s a partickler friend of yours—should have a heap of ’em. A nasty, showy shrub is a camelia, to my thinking, mum. As gaudy as you please for a little; but pick ’em, and in ten minutes they’re as brown as brown—and no good for nothing. It’s hallegorical, to my thinking, mum.” Mrs. Maltravers—Allegortcal! What in the world do you mean, Fraser?” Fraser—“Well, mum, it’s this: Sir Francis’ walet tells master’s walet, and master’s walet he tells me, as how Sir Francis has lost a lot of money lately, and, camelias or no camelias, ain’t half as rich as you’d think. ‘Took to the turf,’ says master’s walet to me only this very morning. ‘No fortun’ll stand that, Chawls,’ says I, sententious like. ‘I believe you, Mr. Fraser,’ says he. ‘It’s a pore lookout for our Miss Lyddy,’ says I, ‘as they’re going to marry to Sir Francis, and I’ll make it my dooty to let the missus know his goings on.’” Mrs.Maltravers (with dignity)—‘‘Real- ly, Fraser, you are excessively kind to busy yourself so much with my—private affairs. Let me recommend you to look after your own business—which very sorely needs your attention—a little more, and mine a little less, You do not know, perhaps, that your candor is something very like impertinence.” Fraser—‘No, mum, I don’t. I’m that fond of Miss Lyddy (as favors my own girl, who died when keeping company with Mr. Jones, the undertaker, as was in a nice way of business, mum, and buried the county families) as I’d do anything for her. Sir Francis ain't good enough for our Miss, and that’s the truth. And Miss Lyddy—do she care for Sir Francis? You take my word for it, mum, not a jot. Why, when he give his grand ball, I meet Miss Lyddy a-sauntering slow-like on that very lawn, and says she to me, ‘I sup- pose I must have some flowers to wear this evening, Fraser.’ And says I, agreeing ready: ‘You shall, Miss. Will you have them there white ’zaleas, or steffynotis, or vilets? Name your flow- er, Miss, and I'll do it.’ ‘Oh, I don’t care thank you, Fraser,’ says she with her smile, only tired Iie. ‘It don’t much matter. Send me whatever you will miss least.’ Now, that’s unnateral, mum. My idea is, when a young wo- man’s in love, greenhouses and the deli- catest of plants and the feelings of hall the gardeners in creation ain’t nothing to her. Why, Miss Lyddy herself, when the Captain was a-staying up at the house, treated them pots 0’ lilies of the walley cruel. Lilies for her nosegay, and lilies to put in her frock, and lilies (whick: was wicked) to pin, quite sense- less, on her fan. And all a-cause, I suppose, of the Captain saying to her one day-—I heard him,though busy prun- ing—‘Lilies are your flower, Miss Mal- travers. I never like to see you wear any other.’ Or som’at like that.” Mrs. Maltravers (frigidly)—“‘You seem to know a great deal more about my daughter's feelings than I do, Fraser. I must really beg that you will keep yceur information to yourself.” Fraser—“No, mum, I can’t. Sorry as I am to disoblige a lady as has been al- ways considerate—except for asking oc- casional for flowers and coocumbers out of season—I must say my mind about Miss Lyddy and Sir Francis. If Sir Francis were sure of his money I shouldn’t have spoke. Money’s a nice thing, mum. I’m not going to say— tho’ she don’t think so—tha‘ if Sir Fran- cis had been all tight and snug it mightn’t have made up to her in time for losing the Captain. But it ain’t. It ain’t at all. His walet is an honest- spoken gentleman, and he says to our Chawls: “You take my word, Chawls,’ says he, ‘we shall have a bust-up at our place afore long.’ And so they will.” Mrs. Maltravers—‘May I ask if you are presuming to offer me advice as to whom Miss Lyddy is to marry?” Fraser—‘No, mum, not yet; but I’m coming to it. If you and master ain’t above listening to an old fellow who is nigh upon as fond of her as you are, I say let her have her Captain. He ain’t got much, cook tells me. But what he has is sure. And as I said to my Pollie when the undertaker was a-walking with her: ‘It ain’t wealth Jones has, Mary, but it’s sure. Now pictures (there was a picture dealer as had been a-dangling after her), they may go out ness knows. But die people must, fash- ion or no fashion. And be undertook they must also—by the Jaws of the land. It’s the same with 7 iss Lyddy’s Captain. And she’s ond of him—which don’t count for much in the hupper classes I’m aware, but is useful, un- common useful.” Mrs. Maltravers (a little less sarcas- tically)—“‘May I ask, Fraser, what rea- sens you have for thinking Miss Lydia of fashion or they may stay in. Good- | | is—attached to Captain Wetherley?” } Fraser—“Reasons, mum? ‘There was the hincident of the lilies. That came fust. And after that I seed :them, doz- ens o’ times—when you was a-driving {in the afternoons, principal—a-sitting | on that seat near the border which I was a-bedding out. Miss Lyddy—she j don’t say much. She hangs down her pretty head and a color like one of them carnations comes into her pretty cheeks. And she says, ‘Yes, George,’ and ‘No, George,’ once or twice, uncom- mon soft. And the Captain he talk and persuade her. ‘You'll be brave, Lydia, won't you?’ and she says, ‘You don’t Know how I dread seeing ‘Sir Francis.’ ‘Hang Sir Francis,’ says the Captain, and she cries, ‘Hush, George!’ ‘very gen- tle and shocked. That’s how I know, mum. And by the way she looked at him, with eyes all dim and soft like Pollie’s.” Mrs. Maltravers—"I think you mean ! well, Fraser.

The new game, while not so interesting or so seientific, fills in very well where there are not four play- ers to make up a regular game, and * wives a very good opportunity for a dis- play of skill. It is generally known as ‘Cankee whist, and, as in option whist, «ll disputes about your partner's play | and the possibility of drawing a poor | partner, are done away with. In play- | ing the game the whole pack of cards | is used. First deal two cards, alternate- ly, first to your opponent and then to yourself. These cards are kept separ- ute from the other piles. Then deal the eards face down in twenty-four piles, twelve in front of the non-dealer and twelve in front of the dealer. Next deal ‘whe rest of the pack face upward on | each of the twenty-four piles already dealt. Each player will then have twelve packs of two each in front of nim. The two cards first dealt are taken ap and looked at. Then the non-dealer looks at the two cards in his or her hand and the twelve face up on the board and names the trump, whatever suit he or she thinks to be the most favorable from the cards which are | aurned up. The game then begins with she non-dealer and is carried on the | anme as in an ordinary game of whist. You must follow suit if you can. As soon as the card which is exposed is played and the trick on which it is play- ed is taken up, the card underneath is turned up and the game is continued until this process causes all the cards to be exposed, but not, however, until ‘eng toward the close of the game. Con- sequently there is always enough un- certainty about the strength of your own hand and that of your opponent’s to give plenty of opportunity for careful and thoughtful playing. Every trick taken over twelve counts as one point, and the game is usually ten points, al- though any number of points can be played. The game has not been intro- duced very extensively at present, and in many whist clubs it is practically unknown. Where the game originated is unknown, but if played properly it will be found to be very interesting.— Boston Globe, . 4 ! 4 ms A Cure for Headache. » “An excellent and never-failing cure for nervous headache,” said an apostle of physical culture, ‘is the simple act of walking ackward. Just try it some- time if you have any doubt about it. I have yet to meet the person who dian‘t acknowledge its efficacy after a trial. Nobody has yet discovered or formu- lated a reason why such a process should bring certain relief. Physicians say that it is probably because the re- flex action of the body bringsabout a re- flex action on the brain, and thus drives away the pain that when produced by nervousness is the result of too much going forward. As soon as you begin to walk backward, however, there comes a feeling of everything being reversed, and this is followed by relief. The re- lief is always certain and generally speedy. Ten minutes is the longest I have ever found necessary. An entry, or a long narrow room makes the best Place for such a promenade. You should walk very slowly, letting the ball of your foot touch the floor first and then the heel, just the way, in fact, that one should, in theory, walk forward, but which, in practice, is so rarely done. Besides curing nervous headache, there is no better way to learn to walk well and gracefully forward than the prac- tice of walking backward. A half hour of it once a day will do wonders to- wards improving the gait of any wo- ; man.”—New York Evening Sun. i Shorthand and Prolixity. “The general,employment of stenog- raphers and typewriters,” said a busi- ness man, “has effected a great saving of time, but it has a tendency to develop prolixity.
