"What is the best book for summer reading?"
Something that combined severe morality,
broad judgment, liberal views, profound sch Oh
arship, general information, artistic taste and
pure humor, and tender sympathy for strug-
Cling humanity. Miriam Coffin, Nantucket,
Mass.-"How can keep my husband from
being cross and ill-natured on wash day?"
Well, there are several ways, Miriam. You
might chlOrOfOrm him about six o'clock in the
morning and renew the anesthetic at intervals
during the day until midnight. Or, you might
give him $5o and tell him to run down to Bos-
ton and enjoy himself. Or you might row him
out in the Sound early in the morning and
drown him. All these plans are practicable,
but the last one the most efficient and mex
pensive. Especially if he is insured. Student,
Elgin, In.-"At which end do you sharpen
pencil?" AT the other end, of course.-Bur-
lington Hawkeye.
Capt Thos. Ward Of 1st. u s. Artillery
