lance. BY the side of this stream, on
plateau of very limited dimensions, a farm
house is seen, with huge volumes of smoke
pouring out Of all the chimneys, although
the trees would indicatetha it is midsum-
mer in that particulsr locality. This farm
house is usually placed about a foot or
eighteen inches from the bank the stream,
which fact impresses the mind of the lie
holder with lively fear that If the farmer
owns any very small children, they will
certainly wsnder out doors, slip down the
steep bank into the water and drown
before their absence is discovered.
This item, clipped frcfn the Louisville
Commercial, was probably stolen from
some other paper: "The women in New
York have formed society, the pr eminent
princi' lie of which is an utter ignoring of all
men who part their hair in the middle. II
they will also include in their platform that
formidable class of young men, who part
their name in the middle, we will endorse

The Cincinnati Commercial devotes a
lengthy editorial to the late Cakes Ames,
an his little proverh, and insists that In the
future hose Masking use of said prOverb,
should 'give the devil his DUE" and say:
"Put your money, rs Cakes LINES says,
where It will do the most good" or, GAS

made SdUGIlS discussing the cause of the sa-
line character of the water In Great Salt
Lake. SAID one: "Well, it's my opinion
that there's an underground connection
with the Pacific ocean, and it's filed with
water from the Pacific" "But,n said the
other, "Salt Lake Is seven thousand feet
high'r'n the ocean; what do you think of
that?" "Think of it! why think It bursts

And now the st. Louis Dispatch intro
duces q new feature in Western journalism.
Its Monday issue contains q lengthy re-
report, gotten up in the best style of its So
ciety reporter, of party given By "Master
Willie s. Brawner," whom, we are told has
"attained his tenth birthday, No doubt
the public generally will be pleased 20 learn
that Master Brawner has reached The age
mentioned, hoping that as time passes by,
he may grow still older, for ''in age there is
wisdom" The report winds up with full
list Of the names of the infants present
on the memorable occasion referred to.
The mind of the reader is instantly car
ried back to the hslcyon days of his child
hood, juvenile sports, hornets nests and
things, as he reads this paragraph, clipped
from an exchange: "Three lads of pisca
