Laps al Picnios.

The lap is unquestionably q most
useful aud admirable organ. When
expanded, tho lap will admirably
hold fifteen quarts Of chestnuts'
peaches, apples. or other desirable
fruit, and there have been women
whose laps would hold tho entire
supply OF halrpius required for their
back hair, though, of course, laps VI
these enormous Dimensions are some
what rare. IL Is, however, at picnics
aud tea parties that the splendid
capabilities VI the female lap are
especially displayed. 1t is an easy
matter for lady, while engaged on

Couldn't Game Him.

There was a s,rapping big young
fellow from the interior at the foot
OF Woodward avonue yesterday, to
see the shipping. Several boot
blacks had tackled him for a job in
vain, and they finally got together
behind some bunohes OF shingles
and went into com mittee OF the
whole to concoct scheme for re-
venge. As a result, un innocent look
ing sinner sidled up TO tho stranger
and said
"See here, Johnnie, I've made a
bet with the boys"
"Wail, l don't keer,' was tho cold
hearted answer.
I've made bet that kin shine
ono o them sh oes o your'n in less n
four miuits,' continued the boy.
Tho bet IL quarter, aud j know
you u gin me chance 10 win IL
list stick out yer foot bore, aud th 1,
job won't cost ye a cent
Tho stranger slowly consented,
aud held his watch TO time the work.
