THE NUMBER NINE.-A Dutchman
went to the lottery Office in Louisville the
other day and inquired for ticket No. o..
He either wanted 0, or 80, or 900, or 99,-
900. But no other number would satisfy
him. On inquiry as TO his reasons for
this particular number, the following
facts in his life were learned He came
to this country when years old. After
he had been here 8 years he got married.
Nine months after the wedding his wife
gave him child. The baby when nine
days old was christened. lie lived with
his wife 8 years, and during that period
she presented him with 0children. Then
he had fuss with her, and she banged
him over the head times with the stave of
a beer keg, from the effects of which he
lay in bed days. lie left that wife then
and had been grass widower just nine
years on the day he applied for for the
ticket. He hoped with ticket No. 8 to
draw money enough to recuperatc his
finances, which were reduced to 80 which
he offered for the ticket. On being in
formed that there was no ticket remain
ing the number Of which was composed
entirely Of 9's he looked detected, but
Immediately weat out and drank nine
glasses of beer. Then he returned and
sad.he would wait until only nine tickets
were left, and then take them all.

FINDING A BooTJAoK. "A housekecp-
er writes the following plant to the
Cleveland Ledder: When the aver
age husband Of the period wants to find
bootjack he steps to the buttery door, and
leaning against the doorway with his
hands in his pockets, whistles mcdita-
lively as his eyes wander along the upper
shelves. When n break in the tune oc-
ours, you may know he has found the
cake, which he devours absently, still
looking for the bootack. Being now de-
prived of that aid to reflection, whstling,
he executes waltz in slow movement,
sustained by large piece of cake in one
hand, and a sizabe pickle in the other.
After while, as the booUack docs not
make its appearance, the husband does
at the door of the room where you are
getting the baby to sleep, and shouts,
jane at the top Of his voice, under the
impression that you are up stairs-an i'm
preston speedily removed. To cover
the confusion of his retreat, he steps on
the dogs tail and bumps the bird cage
with his head, then wants to know what
you have done with that bootjack, and
why it is that you never keep things IN
their place. If you are wise, and simply
and calmly point, like Columbia, to the
object in question hanging on its accus-
toned nail, he seizes upon it wrathfully,
with the solemn vow that it was not there
when he went through the room before.
The offending boots are finally left in
the doorway where it is convenient to
trip over them, and serenity transpires
unless you have occasion to go around
them, when you will at once see their
natural means of obstructing a passage
way. 1t is estimated that one pair of
boots judiciously disposed about an apart
ment Of medium size, will prevent a
well-disposed person or professional
burglar from quietly making his way
about it.
At tea time the average husband does
not care about any cake it isn't much
like that his mother used to make"

THE STOCKING LOOM.

a pretty story tells us OF Me Invention
of the stocking loom. William Lev was
n gay young student at Oxford, who saw
among the Greek letters of his Iliad only
the bright eyes of the inn-kccper's daugh-
ter, and heard in the professors tones but
the click of her swift knitting-needles.-
In despair he threw away his books, hur-
ried to his mistress, and with her to the
parsons. When the Oxford dons heard
of the proceedings at the rectory they
decided in grave council that this crime
of marriage must be made an example
of, and accordingly the young man was
expelled. Disgraced and dishonored, he
and Peggy were cast out into the world
with only four knitting-needles to look
for bread. But Peggy went mcrrily to
work, her eyes growing brighter, her fin
gers playing faster, while her onamored
husband sat before her in helpless inelli-
cheney, watching the cleaning needles as
if entranccG.
a." Eureka !" he exclaimed one day.
"Who ?" Peggy looked up anxiously.
She had never been even TO grammar
school.
a" can do it Peggy, better than you,"
he answered, with II manly sense of his
superiority. He got some wires and went
to work, while Peggy watched, and soon
her shining needles gave way to the
stocking loom which revoutionized the
whole industry. Peggy became bright
eyed lady, William distinguished in
ventor, while the Oxford dons nobody
knows anything about, but they doubtless
shrank up into Greek participlcs or algo-
braic signs. At any rate it was clear
case of poetic justice, at which Hymcn
should light an extra torch.

CoNcERNlNG wholesome poisons."
the manufacturer dnd Buiiier observes:
1T is true there are substances poisonous
for man and not for animals, and the re-
verse, or poisonous for one animal and
not for another. Pigs, for instance, may
eat arsenic in doses much larger than
would Kill man; +; whlc alocs, simple
bitter purgative for man, kill dogs and
wolves. The fnc-l lcaved water-hemloclt
is eaten greedily by oxen and cows with
out bad effect, while it kills horses. SO
the common water hemlock, the poison
which Socrates was compelled to take.
may be eaten by sheep and gonts with
impunity; while flowers Of the common
elder, II most useful family medicine for
promoting perspiration after catching
cold, kills peacocks the clderbcrrics, of
which many housewives make preserves,
are fatal to fowls. But the most remark
able Of all, If true, is the statement that
an English surgeon has ascertanod by
experiment that monkeys can eat strych-
nirc with impunity. 1t is well known
that this is most deadly poison for all
other animals and for man it is the ne
tive poisonous principle Of the poison nut
(n"r gomicdD and produces certain death,
usually by lockjaw.

WHY SHE NEVER MARRIED.

" Now, Aunt Sallic, do please tell us
why you never got married, You re-
member you once said that when you
were girl you were engaged to minis
ter, and promised that you would tell us
about it some time. Now, aunt, please
do tell u.s."
"Well, you see, when | was about
seventeen years old l was living in Uh
ca, in the State of New York. Though
l say it myself was quite a good-looking
girl then, and had several boaux. The
one that took my fancy was young min
ister, a very promising young man, and
remarkably pious and steady. He thought
good deal of me, and kind of took a
fancy to him, and things went on until
we were engaged. One evening he came
to me, and put his arms around me, and
kind of hugged me, when l got excit-
ed and some flustered. 1t was n long
time ago, and don't know but what |
might have hugged back little. l was
like any other girl, and pretty soon l
pretended to be mad about it, and pushed
him away, though | wasn't mad u bit
You must know that the house where |
lived was on one of the back streets of
the town. There We're glass doors in the
parlor which opened over the street,
These doors were drawn to. stepped
back little from him, and when he came
up close l pushed him back again. L
pushed him harder than | intended to,
and don't you think, girls, the poor fell
low lost his balance, and fell through ono
of the doors into the street.
"Oh, Aunty Was he killed ?"
"No; he fell head first, and as he was
going l caught him by the legs of his
trowsers. | held on for n minute and
tried to pull him back, but his suspendcrs
gave way and the poor fellow fell clear
out of his pantaoons into parcel of Ia
dies and gentlemen along the street"
"Oh, Aunty! Aunty! Lordy !"
"There, that's right; squall and giggle
rs much ms you want to. Girls that can t
hear little thing like that without tear
ing around the room and hc-he-ing in
such way don't know enough to como
in when it rains. A nice time the man
that marries you will have, won't he.
Catch me telling you anything again"
"But, Aunt Sallie, what became of
him ? Did you ever see him again ?"
"No, the moment he touched the ground
he got up and left that place in n terrible
hurry. l tell you it was sight to be re-
mcmbcred. How that man did run !
lie went out West, and | believe he is
preaching out in Illinois. But he never
married. He was very modest and |
suppose he was so badly frightened that
time that he never dared trust himself
near n woman again. That, girls, is the
reason why | never married. | felt very
bad about it for long time-ior he was
a real good man, and I've often thought
to myself that we should have been very
happy if-his suspendcrs hadn't given
way"

A HUMAN THERMOMETER want
to believe that story from n Peora paper
about Mr.. Henry Bull, but it is hard,
very hard, to accept it with perfect conf
dence. Mr.. Bull, it is alleged, was fed
upon calomel and blue pills by the doc
tors for number Of years, so that final
~ he became absolutely saturated with
quicksilver. The other day while he was
standing by the side of the house the sun
suddenly came out bright and warm, and
Bull began gradually to ascend. IIe
stopped ut the line of the sill of the sec
ond story and hung there, suspended in
the air until n thunder storm cooled tho
atmosphere, and then Mr.. Bull slowly
descended. Now he has graduated
