Americans are exporting coffius to
London and putting them in the market
at prices little more than half of those
charged by Her Majesty's undertakers.
The Yankees began by sending washing
machines, apple-parers, and egg-beaters;
then they shipped window sashes, doors.
panels, and wainscots; within year
they have been exporting ready-made
furniture of all kinds, from the COM
monest kitchen chair to the most elegant
drawing-room table; and now they are
following the lifeleas Briton even to his
grave, and packing him under ground
in brand new American cotfins with
patented handles and reversible lids,
vastly superior to the English-made
article, and with prices to suit the times.

Didn't Want Any.

A long-waisted, consumptive-looking
young man yesterday entered the office
of Woodward avenue dentist holding
his cheek in his hand. He not only had
the toothache, but he had arrived at that
point where his mind was made up to
have the troublesome thing extracted.
"Gimme laughing-gas, was his curt
salutation as he took chair.
The dentist, looking him over, con-
cluded it would be safe to comply, and
while he was getting ready the stranger
looked down upon the street. He pres
emily saw two well-dressed women
slowly approaching each other. Both
were well-dressed, proud and dignifed,
and they sailed by each other as if each
one thought she owned the whole city.
One of them wanted to look back of the
others hat, but by a great effort she
controlled herself and kept on. The
other wanted to look back, and, after q
struggle with pride and dignity, turned
her head. She walked forward as she
looked back. and disaster overlook her,
as natural consequence. She encoun-
tered baby cab, and while the cab
rolled one way she fell the other. The
man with the toothache had seen the
whole performance, and he knew how
that fall would ruffle her dignity and
crumple her pride. He began to chuckle,
and, rs the proud woman made kick at
the cab, he yelled out:
"Haw haw haw get your forceps
-haw haw haw pull 'er out quick
-haw haw haw I'm tickled to death
pull pull pull never mind the gas
-haw haw haw !"
And the tooth WAS out before he got
over feeling tickled.-DetroH Free

prompted Maine to select him AZ the most fit
