Americans who dine with the Chin

Americans who dine with the Chinese
are surprised at the perfection to which
they have carried their cooking. During
recent Chinese banquet at san Francisco,
an orange was laid at the plate of each
guest The orange itself seemed like any
other orange, but, on being cut open, was
found to contain within the rind five kinds
OF delicate jelies. One was at first puzzled
to explain how the jellies got in, and, Civ
ing up that train OF reflection, was in
worse quandary to know how the pupy
bart of the orange got out.
Colored eggs were also served, in the i'll
side OF which were found nuts, jelles, meats
and confectionery.-When one OF the
Americans present asked the interpreter to
explain this leger dcmain of cookery, he
expanded his mouth in a hearty laugh, and
shook his head. and said:
"Mellcan mtn heap smart; why he not
findee out?''

WHY FRANKLIN Used SIMPLE

WHY FRANKLIN Used SIMPLE LANGUAGE.
Tradition has il that years ago, when
Benjamin Franklin was a lad. he began to
study philosophy. and soon became fond
Of applying technical words to common
objects. One evening. when he men
toned to his father that he had swallowed
some acephalous moluske, the old man
was much alarmed, and suddenly seizng
him called loudly for help. Mrs. Franklin
came with water. and the hired man rush
ed i'll with the garden pump.-rhey forced
half gallon down Benjamln's throat, then
held him by the heels over the edge of the
porch and shook MIN, while the old man
said III We don't get those things out of
Benny he's pzened, sure" When they
were out, and Benjamin explained that the
articles alluded to were oysters, his father
iondled him for an hour with a trunk strap
for soaring the family. Tradition adds that
ever afterward Franklin's language was
marveiously simple and explicit.

AQUAkER TRICK. When a stranger has
climbed four pairs of stairs and made
half dozen turns he finds himself at the
door Of the chief editorial room OF the
Philadelphia Bulletin. Max Adeler sits
just inside, and as the stranger enters he
is seated at Adeler's right hand. He is
seated in an old-fashioned splnt- bottomed
chair, the bottom of which has gone to
look for the dust of the Pilgrim fathers
There's newspaper spread over the va
cant spot. aud Mr.. Adeler cheerfully re-
marks:
Sit right down-tine day-when did you
arrivey'
The man sits down. If he is small
man he sits on the fioor, his feet slant to-
ward the ceiling. his knees dig into his
throat, aud his back Is dreadfuily bent,
while his hat is jammed over his eyes
Fell through, eh?" inquiries Mr. Adeler
as he looks around. "How do you like
Philadelphia"
The stranger struggles, finds himself
fast and asks to be eXtracated. He Is po
liteiy informed that it is against the rules
OF the office TO eXtracate any one who tails
through the chair in which Artcmus Ward
used to sit, and is in just the condition be
left H.
Does Philadelphia come to your idea2''
kindly inquiries Mr.. Adelcr a, he opens
another exchange.
The stranger sets to work to burst that
chair or break his back. but he can do
neither He thinks the joke has been car
ried far enough, bur i informed that it il
not a joke-that no man around that office
was ever more sober in his life.
The victim tries to laugh and remarks
that five minutes more will finish his spin

"Oh, no it it WON'T replies Mr.. Adeler.

Healing all the sick,
Bravely marching onward
Through dangers dark and thick
