UNCLE zEKE's Joke.

Some years ago there lived in one of our
large cities an eccentric character known as
Uncle Zeke, who never lost chance Of per-
petrating a practical joke. Any plaza or occa-
sion suited him, provided he could make his
point. One Sunday he repaired to fashion
able church, some time after the services had
commenced, and as there was not seat
vacant, be tooka prominent position in the
centre aisle, where be stood bolt upright,
with his high stoVepipe hat clapped tightly
on his head. Ofeourse he attracted much at
tention, and VI y soon the sexton, q man for
whom Uncle Zeke had an especial dislike,
crept up TO him, and whispered that be
must take off his hat.
"That's agin my principles" said Uncle
Zeke. d -
81 can't help that said the sexton, i'm
patiently, 'syou must take 1t off,
"But WON'T" replied Uncle Zeke.
"Then shall take it off for you," said
the sexton, who was becoming very nerv-
Gus on account Of the attention this whis-
pered colloquy had occasioned.
GAN right" said Uncle Zeke, s'you kin
take 1t of. That amt again my principles q
The sexton therupon took hold OF the
rim of Uncle Zeke's hat, and dexterously
lifted il off his head. But what was the
respectable sections horror when about two
| quarts of hickory nuts rolled out of his hat
and went chattering and banging over the
church floor.
And that was Uncle Zskes's joke on the
sexton.

DO CLIMATES CHANGE

Old people complain that the seasons are
warmer, colder, or more rainy than when
they were young, Their comments are
ridiculed, because most persons believe that
no very marked changes have or ever will
take place in section of country where
stability in nature is settled fact-that is,
it SHOWS in winter, showers in April, and
trees have leaves in the spring.
Atmospheric alteration is certainly going
on from age to age, more strongly evident
in some paris of a country than others.
Here are illustrations: Two thousand
years ago the climate of Italy was colder
than now. The Loire and Rhone, in an
Gent Gaul, used to freeze over annually.
Juyenal says the Tiber froze so firmly in
his day the ice had to be cut to get at the
water. Horace indicates the presence OF
ice and snow in the streets of Rome, and
Ovid asserts the Black Sea froze over every
year.
So extreme was the cold at this far-of
period in history, it stands chronicled by
the ancients that,in Gaul, Germany, p
nonia, and Thrace snow positively covered
the ground so long as to prevent the culti-
Vallon OF olives, grapes, and other fruits
which are raised there at the present time
in abundance. Ice or snow to any consid-
cradle amount would now be a phenOme-
non in Italy. However, if it takes two
thousandyears TO work q climatic change,
we need not be troubled with any appre-
hension that this winters clothes won't dc
for next year.

COEFAX

Miss Laura Ream writes to the Cincin-
natl Commercial an account of an inter-
view with Schuyler Colfax, in the course
Of which the retiring Vice President re-
marked: 81 stood to-day on the very spot
in the Senate Chamber where l made my
reports for the Indianapolis Journal. 1t
was then owned by Mr.. Douglas, and he
gave me two dollars a day for my services.
/ remember pleading with him for another
dollar. l had to pay four dollars a week
for my board, and with that and the ex-
pense of clothes and coming here and re-
turning home could not very well see my
way clear. When | insisted on the other
dollar, Mr.. Douglas said to me: you don't
seem to consider the advantages that you
enjoy. You are in way to make valuable
aequaintances. See what Albert s. White
has come to. He was once repo, ter. You
may be member of Congress some day;
who knows?' / frankly confess" contin-
ued Mr.. Colfax' 'thaS said to him in re-
ply, L will give all my chances Of being q
member OF Congress for the other dollar q
day."
