Mrs. CAROLINE A. WYETH, wealthy
New York woman, made her coachman

AT Dublin young woman, described
as governess, of lady-like appearance,
was lately tried and sent to prison for
stealing luggage at a railway station.
She used to 90 and lay claim to trunks

THERE ought to be CONVEX ion of
woodchucks. The trouble at present is
that one mans woodchuck predicts
cold winter, and digs deep; and another
mans wOodchuch predicts warm win
ter, and digs shallow. This frivelity is

unsocial creature, and not influenced by
sympathy, he ought to hit the bull's-eye
with his little prediction every time

service, and had retired to his study to
don his surplice for the sermon. He
left the door partly open, and little
Charlie, who was at church for the first

when he informed his mother, in a
whisper so loud that it was heard all
over the church, that he could see the
minister changing his shirt Transcript

A SILEs1AN farmer named Polka was
recently sent large and thick letter
fastened with tape and marked "T0 be
delivered to no one but himself" This
naturally stimulated her curiosity, and
she proceeded to unite the tape. At the
first pull at the cord Frau Polka was
knocked down and seriously injured and
every pane of glass in the house was
smashed, the letter having contained an
explosive cartridge with a cap and
needle, to which the tape was fastened.
OF all the sad scenes of this sad world,
that must have been the saddest in
which that stricken Mormon in New
York played the central part when he
found that two of his wife had forsaken
him, and only three Of her left. To
have been made a two-fifths widowe1 at
one stroke was too much, and he rent
his raiment and sat him down arrayed
in sackcloth, his head covered with
ashes, and refused to be comforted.-

| Bob BURDETTE observes: "Do YOU
think" writes young student of human
economy, ado you think the human race
is decaying?" Not at all, not at all
Part of it isn't decaying because it is yet
alive, and the portion of it that is dead
doesn't decay because the medical stu
dent don't give it chance. On, no, the
human race was never, in all history, SC
well protected against decay as at pres
ent. Be thankful that you live in an
age when the grave has been so shorn OF
its power that it can't hold man sc
long as sieve wauld hold spoonful OF
quicksilver.
