HEALTHY FREE-LUNCHER.

a tramp, while on his travels, no.
ticed placard in front Of a bar-room.
1t bore the significant and pleasing
legend, "Free Lunch" and he went in,
walked unostentstiously up to plate,
and commenced operations with q
sandwich then the bar-keeper walked
up to the cadaverous wretch, and said
"Men who eat here are expected to
pay for drink"
81 know it." said the tramp.
"Well, then, why don't you conform
TO the rule ?"
"Cause go in for health, and don't
drink Till Pm through eating"
The bar-keeper turned his back for
a moment, and the tramp slipped three
sandwiches into his oyercoat pocket,
and calmly devoured four; then he
walked up to the bar, and to the dis
penser of stimulants huskily whisper
ed;
''Gimme glass of water, will YEP"
"What, water, after four sandwich
es," beloved the bar-keeper, angrily.
"Yes'r, water" replied the tramp.
"I'ye been drinkin' o. it for nigh onto
forty years, and it's just the healthiest
stuff n goin."
And ne hobbled out but if he had
caught the foot that flew after him, he
wouldn't have been satisfied with his
"boOty" OF his visit.

ssHEARs HEAK!o

This phrase was originally 'Hear
him. and was was used to remind
listeners of the duty of paying atten-
tion to the speaker, but it has gradual
ly become a cry expressive of approx
al, or, when used ironically, of the re-
verse. Sheridan, the famous wit, ora
tor and dramatist, was a member of
the House of commons. Once, when
making a speech there, he was annoy
ed by q member behind him frequent
ly calling out Hear, hear without
any regard to the propriety of the oc-
casion. Sheridan laid trap for him,
and began to describe a political op-
ponent in very uncomplimentary lam
guage, ending his vituperation with
the question:
sWhere shall we find a more knavish
fool or more foolish knaye than
this 2
At which the lnterrupter called ont
Justify, 'Hear hearv Sheridan turn
ed ronnd and thanked him for the in
formation, sitting down amid the
laughter of the house.

WHAT BOYS SHOULD LEARN.

Not to tease boys or girls smaller
than themselves.
Not to take the easiest chair in the
room, put it in the pleasantest place,
and forget to offer it to the mother
when she comes in to sit down.
To treat their mother as politely as
if she were stranger lady who did
not spend her life i'm their service.
To be as kind and helpful to their
sisters as they expect their sisters to
be to them.
To make their friends among good
boys.
To take pride in being gentlemen at
home.
To take their mother into their con-
fidencc if they do anything wrong
and, above all, never to lie about any
thing they have done.
To make up their minds not to
learn to smoke, chew or drink; re-
membering that these things can not
be unlearned, and that they are terri
BILE drawbacks to good men, and ne
cessities to bad ones.
To remember that there never was
q vagabond without these habits.
To observe all these rules, and they
are sure to be gentlemen.

PETHIFYING THE DEAD.

The French have q new method of
disposing of the dead. At the decease
of an Individual the body is plunged
into liquid, anil in about five years
ihe corpse ia turned into stone. The
secret OF the petrifaction lis known
only TO the discoverer. He says that
in q Thousand years. time, if persons
will only preserve their relatives, they
will be able to build house with
them, and thus live in residences sur
rounded by their ancestors. Another
application of this process has been
suggested, namely-to have the petri-
fled corpse nickel-plated or electro
plated with bronze, and if statue of
an individual is desired, 10 place the
corpse on . proper pedestal, so as to
fulfill the functions of being the statue
of the person Observation-Disclosures
Journal.
Book agents, Insurance agents, Light
ning-rod men and sich don't need any
nickel or electro plating to convert
them into bronze statues.

A CURIOUS cALcuLArIoN.


1t is asserted by scientific writer's,
says an Irish newspaper that the mum.
ber of persons who have existed on
our globe since the beginning of time
amounts to 66,627, ,S43, ,237, ,O75 ,256.-
These figures, when divided by B..
O95, 5,0O0-the number of square leagues
on the globe-Ieaves 1920 Cos, 1872
square miles of land, which being di-
vided as before, gives I,414, ,626, ,O75
persons to each square mile. If we
reduce these miles to square roods, the
number will be 1,S53, ,S74, ,6OO, ,OOO, which
divided in like manner, will give 1873
Inhabitants to each square rood, and
these being reduced to feet will give
about five persons to each square foot
of terra .fIma. 1t will thus be per-
ceived that our earth is q vast ceme-
terry. On each square rood Of it / ,2S3
human beings lie buried, each rood
seing scarcely sufficient for ten graves
with each grave containing 12S per-
sons. The whole surface ofour globe,
therefore, has been dug over 12S times
to bury its dead.

HOME CoURrEsIEs.

A contributor to Harper's Bazar
makes the following remarks on the
great fosterer of family love-courte-
sy: asH--
The placing of the armchair in
warm place for mamma, running for a
footstool for aunt, hunting up papa's
spectacles, and scores of little loving
deeds, show unsurpassed and loving
hearts. But if mamma never returns
a smiling "Thank you, DEAR" if papa's
"Just what 1 was wanting, Susie, docs
not indicate that the little atteHtiOn is
appreciated, the children soon drop
the habit. Little people are initiative
creatures, and quickly catch the spirit
surrounding them. So if the mothers
spool of cotton rolls from her lap, the
father stoops to pick it up, bright eyes
will see the act, and quick minds make
a note of it. BY example, a thousand
times more quickly than by precept,
children can be taught to speak kindly
TO esch other, to acknowledge favOrs,
to be gentle and unselfish, to be
thoughtful and considerate of the CON-
forts Of the family. The boys, with
inward pride of their fathers demean-
or, will be chivalrous and helpful TO
their young sisters the girls, imitat-
ing the mother, will be gentle and pa
tient, even when big brothers are
noisy and needless. In the home
where true courtesy prevails, it.seems
TO meet you on every threshold. You
feel the kindly welcome on entering.
No rude eyes scan your dress. No
angry voices are heard up stairs. No
sullen children are sent from the room
A delightful atmosphere pervades the
house-unmistakable, yet indescriba.

"A HIGHLAND farmer it appears, had
been in the Lowlands, and learned
worldly wisdom. On returning to
his native parish he had need of \ sum
of money, and made bold to ask from
a gentleman of means named Stewart.
This was kindly granted, and Mr..
Stewart counted out the gold. This
done, the farmer wrote q receipt and
offered it to Mr.. Stewart.
'What is this, man p cried Mr.Stew-
ard, eying the slip of paper.
1T is a receipt, Sir, binding me to
give ye back yer gold at the right
time replied Sandy.
Binding ye? Well, my man, if ye
Gamma trust yersel, I'm sure I'll not
trust We. Ye Gamma haye my gold.
And gathering it up, he put it back in
his desk, and turned his key on it.
But, Sir, l might die,' replied the
canny Scotchman, bringing up an ar
gument in favor of his new wisdom,
and perhaps my sons may refuse it
We; but the bit of paper would COM
pei them.'
Compel them to sustain a dead
fathers honor!' cried the Celt
They'll need compelling to do right
if this is the road ye're leading them
Ye can gang elsewhere for money
but yell find name in the parish that'l
put more faith in bit o. paper than
in neighbor's word o. honor and his
fear o. Cod

A PARTY of young men dined sump-
tuously at restaurant in Atlanta, and
each one insisted on paying the bill.
To decide the matter, it was proposed
to blindfold the waiter, and the first
one he caught should pay tine bill. He
hasn't caught any of them yet.
-"IF naughty girl should hurt you,
like good girl, you would forgive
her. would't you?" "Yes, marm,''
she replied, "if could catch her."
A PLUcKY school marin in South
Jamaica, L. l., whipped the biggest
boy in the school; and when his faith
er, a six-footer, came around wanting
to know, you know, she put him to
fight with the fire-shovel. The schol-
ars now understand who's boss.
A WAC tried to annoy a popular
preacher by asking him whether the
fatted calf was male or female.
Female, TO be sure" was the reply.
ss for l see the male - looking the
questioner in the face-"yet alive in
the flesh before me-"
DANBURY says that the man who
elected DR.. Mary Walker from the
Treasury building has his shins under
blue glass.
EVEN if a boy is always whistling
L want to be an angel it is just as
well to keep the preserved pears on
the top shelf of the pantry.
The other day some of the boys in
duced a young man from Flint Greek
to take hold of the handles of galvan-
ic battery. AS 1t puckered him up he
roared, Jimmy Criminy,let up! Who
ever heard of thing that could make
you taste green persimmons with
your hands before?'
If the editor of country newspaper
could get verbal promises discounted
at bank rates. he would be on intimate
terms with the whole lsothschild fam
lily inside of two days.
A PERSON asked his friend why he
married so Httie a wife? why said
he, Il thought you had known that of
all evils we should choose the least
NED has run away with your wife,
said one friend to another. Poor
fellow, pity him." was the reply.

Everything beautiful. darling must fade; " "
The rose and the lily, the pride OF the field,
And myrtle. which hides the rude marks Of the
spade,
where loved ones are sleeping, will all have
to yield
To times busy CLEANER, who gathers the leavse,
And unopened buds in the forest and plain.
To carefully bind them in bundles and siieaves
And carry them or to return not again.
Everything beautiful, darling, must change;
The woods and the meadow. the course Of the
stream 90 LII - XE
These scenes now familiar ere long will seem
strange,
And only be thought of as seen in q dream,
OF pictures of memory long hung away.
And faded by age or the dust OF the past; 81
Each moment of pleasure refnses to stay,
The voice OF the zephyr is lost in the blast
Everything beautiful. darling must die,
And that which increases must surely de-

When everything earthly, and time is forgot,
The spirit will laugh at the thought Of decay.
