A newly arrived Immigrant, who was before
a New York magistrate for drunkenness, said
he had mm in the country only forty-eight
hours. "What," said the magistrate, "only
forty-eight hours in the country und found
drunk in the streets. Six months for getting
Americanized so quickly V Detroit F. I'm.
A maiden lady said to her little nephew:
"Now, Johnny, you go to bed early, and al
ways do so, and you'll bo rosy-cheeked and
handsome when you grow up." Johnny
thought over this a low minutes and then ob
served: "Well, aunty, you must have sat
up a good deal when you were young." Den
ver Tribune.
This is a story with a moral. A gentleman
in the midst of a stormy debate thought to
smooth matters over by a few words of practi
cal advice, so he said: "Gentlemen, all I
want for the settlement of this whole contro
versy is a little common sense." Jcrrold, who
was present, disturbed his equanimity by
breaking in and saying: "You are right, sir;
that is precisely what you do want."
Fogg has a new way of tinning a compli
ment now and then. Seeing the elder Miss
Pangley in the street the other day, he tried to
avoid her, but did not succeed. When they
met, said Miss l'angley: "Oh, you naughty
man! You wanted to cut me!" Replied Feg,
blandly : "I should be cutting a pretty figure,
wouldn't I?" Miss Pangley tells her friend,
Miss Hagegrw'n, that Mr. Fogg is a perfect
gentleman. Boston Transcript.
How dear to my heart is the school I uttuiiUoU,
And how I remember, so distant and dim,
That red-headed Hill and the pin that I bunded
And carefully put on the hench under him;
And how I recall the surprise of tho master
When Bill gave a yell and sprang up with tfco pin
Bo high tUat his bullet head bursted the plaster

That loud-shouting Billy that sat on a pin.

A countrywoman presents herself in a pho.

"I have come, sir, to have a picture of my
poor dear husband made. He he died three
months ago!"
"Very well, my good woman, very well.
Have you any portrait, or daguerrotype, or
anything of the loved and lost?"
"N-no, sir, but" bursting into tears "1

A story of a button : "Rosalind, my dear,'
said her mother, who was sweeping out the
front hall-way, "does this button belong to
your father's overcoat ?" "Let me see it. Oh,
dear, no, ma! It comes from George's over
coat. Isn't it splendid?" "I don't see any
thing so very splendid about it." "Ob, why,
ma! If you were only young and such a nice
young man like George should should "
"Well, I shan't have any more such work in
this house. I've no objection U a little mod

her boudoir to indulge in a weep. Chicago

The Xylophone.
The history of music has never given us a
more ravishingly seductive instrument than
the xylophone. It Is nature's own mcloily,
Talk about the curfew bell or the warble of
the bobolink or the ripple of mountain
streams if you please, but (he musical wash
board, Known as the xylophone, scoops them
all. Make a picket fence with pickets of dif
ferent lengths and pound on it with a stick of
stove wood, and you have the xylophone. It
is cheaper than the piano, and can be made
to yield almost as much divine racket. It is
within the reach of all, and yet it is wonder
fully sooothing to the ear. The xylophone in
appearance resembles a corduroy bridge, and
in sound resembles the so.ig of the male
Guinea hen as ho coos to his mate. Xte's

Innocence of Youth.
The Vicksburg boy can stand up with any
other boy in the world airainst an accusation
The other day, when a Vicksburg mother dis-
covered sugar on the pantry shelf, she called
her boy and said :
"Some one has been stealing this sugar!"
"Is it possible!" he exclaimed, rolling up
his eyes in astonishment.
"Yes, u is possible; and the thief is not far
away either."
"Ain't he? Do you suspect father?"
"No, I don't."
"Couldn't be the cat?" he inquired glancing
under the table in search of the feline.
"Cats don't eat sugar, young man !"
"They don't?"
"No, sir; the thief is a boy about your age."
"11 , eh? I'd just like to catch him in
here i..i-e!"
"If the sugar is disturbed again," she Baid,
as she covered up the box, "I know of a boy
who'll get his jacket dusted."
"That's bully ! I wish you'd let me stay
out of school, so's to see you catch and maul
him."
And be went out to devour the other lumps.

A Financial Aneciote.
Theodore was a poor lad. One (lay when
he was very hungry he espied a 5-ceut piece
on the floor of the broker's oflice, which he
was sweeping out. He had remembered sto
ries wherein little boys bad picked up a small
piece of money, handed it to the great mer
chant or rich banker, and been immediately
taken into partnership. So Theodore stepped
up to the door of the broker's private room
and snid :
"Please, sir, here's a 5-cent piece 1 found on
the floor."
The broker looked at Theodore a moment,
and then said :
"You found that on my floor, did you ? And
you are hungry, aren't you?"
"Yes, sir," replied Theodore.
"Well, give it to me and get out. I was
looking around for a partner, but a boy who
dnon't know enough to buy bread when be is
starviru to death would make but a sorry bro
ker. No, boy, 1 can't take you into Hie firm."
And Theodore never became a great broker.
Honety is the best policy, children, but it is
not indispensable to success in the brokerage
business. Boston Tntnicrijt.

this is not all a dead loss, lhe engines in

for the Connecticut and the Java are oxidizing

Mitn Holding Hik Own.
It is generally admitted that civilization has
improved the horse. The ancient world never
possessed a horse that could compete with the
American trotter or the English racer. But
some persons think that the modern man has,
through civilization, physically degenerated
from the ancient man. The London Spectator,
however, says that there e not the slightest
evidence that man was ever bigger, stronger or
more enduring, under the same condition of
feed and climate than he is now.
In proof tnat man is holding his own in
size, there is positive evidence that modern
Egyptians are as big as the' mummies who
were conquerers in their days. But there has
been a growth in size. Modern Englishmen
are bigger than their ancestors. "There are
not in existence 1,000 coats of armor which an
English regiment can put on. Very few mod
erns can use ancient swords because the hilts
are too small for their hands."
These facts seem reasonable; for physical
condition depends upon food, clothing and
shelter. The modern man is better fed, better
clothed and better housed than was the ancient
man. Why should the modern not have been
advanced in physical growth by his better
physical condition ?
The most civilized and luxurious people that
ever existed European i,. caste Is physi
callyas big, a u.-.iliiiy and as powerful as
any people of whom we have any account that
science can accept. English acrobats can per
form any feat which is recorded of Greek ath
letes. Cornishmen could strangle with their
hands any race of savages, and there is not a
barbarous tribe of which 1,000 men similarly
armed could defeat an equal number of En
glishmen, Americans or Germans.
It is doubtful if any Greek, Roman or Ger
man swimmer could have crossed the English
channel from Dover to Calais as did Capt.
Webb.
