"YEs," said the old reprobate:

SAINTE-BEUvE says: " In every man

AT dinner the host introduces to the

THERE are lots of curious folks in this
world, They encourage a young lady to
devote three or four years to music, " be-
cause she may have to teach it some
day." but neglect to encourage her TO
learn anything of houseWork, never
dreaming that she may be wife some
day.
TALK about female curiosity-it's all
one-sided. Let one man stop on the
street to spell out a sign on the top of a
high building, and every other mothers
son that goes by will stand still and stare
for ten minutes trying to make out what
the first idiot is looking at Breakfast
Table.
4 CORRESPONDENT asks what Is the
best method of feeding cattle in winter
| We don't exactly know. One man might
prefer to take the OK in his lap and feed
him with a spoon. Others would bring
him into the dining, room and let him sit
at the table with the old folks. Tastes
differ in matters of this kind.
THE New York Herald thus replies to
a correspondent: " You would not
really be justified in striking the gentle
man who rose from the restaurant table
and told you that you ought to hire q
trough. There are people who can not
tolerate smacking or sucking noises of the
mouth at table, and you were evidently
having little circus by yourself. He
puts his information rather Tudely, al
though, even if you whipped him, you
might not be any less int0lerable to that
class of people who do not like troughs."

'fThe engine makes them" What
engine? ?" ''The engine in front"
g What's 1t in front for p TO pull the
train.' What train ?" "Tbis one"
&c This car 2? repeated the younster,
pointing to the one on which they sat.
+" Yes" What does it pull it for ?'
I" The engineer makes it." What
engineer ?" "The man on the engine"
- What engine % The one in 'front.'"
L" What is that in front for % 81 told
you that before" "Teld who what ?"
+" Told you" ''What fer p ooh, be
still you are nuisance" What's d
nuisance ?" "a boy who asks too many
questions " Whose boy ?'' Ny
Boy" What questions ?" Tine con-
ductor came through just then and took
up the tickets and the train pulled up
| to the station before we could get all the
conversation. The last we heard, as the
lady jerked the youngster of the plat
! form, was What conductor ?"- Keo-
