How to Get q Dinner.

A gentleman who had travelled about
pretty extensively was greatly perplexed
to understand how it was that other per-
sons were waited upon promptly and
we'll served at the hotels, while he was
almost entirely ignored and could scarce
ly obtain square meal-complain to or
swear at the waiter as he might. At last
his eyes were opened to the dodge of
feeling the waiter literally, and being Of
an ingenious turn of mind, he determined
to improve on the plan.
The next hotel he dined at he took
his seat very pompously at the table,
and took out well-filled pocketbook
extracting therefrom $40 bill, which he
laid on the white cloth beside his plate
and placed his goblet upon it. In an in
slant almost he was surrounded by
walters, who seemed to vie with each
other in attention. Every wish was an,
ticipated, and all the delicacies of the
kitchen and pantry were placed before
him in tempting array.
Having Jared as sumptuOusly as g
prince, (to the envy of many of the
guests), he took up the greenback, an6
reckoning to the nearest waiter, was i'm.
mediately besieged by half dozen OF
so. Holding the bill in one hand, hc
pointed to it with the other. and in
quired of the crowd:
''Do you see that bill?"
ooh, yes, sir" they all exclaimed in
chorus
''Then take good look at it," he re.
piled, "for you will never see it again.
Saying which he departed leavirg the
walters aghast.

A French Practical Joke.

Those who have plenty of time, and
are not afraid of the police, may perhaps
find fun in trying the following, which
we are assured by the Graphic is "quite
a favorite with Partisan Students"
Fixing upon some thoroughfare where
bridge crosses the Seine, two of them
take stations, the first OH one side of the
river, the second on the other. Looking
carefully around, they proceed to take
measurements with cords and surveyors
instruments, until on each side quite a
crowd has gathered. Next, one of the
students selects some verdant youth who
happens to be passing, and politely asks
Would you kindly hold this cord, sir ?
There is going to be a government survey.
Please retain the cord until the official
comes; on no account dropping it for an
instant. as the measurement would thus
be lost" He then gives the other end
to second innocent young man, and
the way is thus ef1ectually blocked.
Meantime his comrade across the bridge
has repeated the same performance.
Caleches, carriages, drays, all sorts Of
vehicles. with throngs of foot passengers,
have collected, who are gravely told that
they must wait as a government ssurvey
is in progress. BY this time the students,
of course, have decamped, leaving the
unlucky countrymen to manage the i'm
patient crowd as best they can. The
affair usually ends in the summoning of
a detachment of policemen to drive away
these victimized disturbers of the peace.
This hoax, though often practiced, is said
to be always successful.

Help One Another.

This little sentence should be written
on every heart-stamped on every mem
ory. IF should be the golden rule prac.
ticed, not onlyin every household, but
throughout the world. By helping one
another we not only remove the thorns
from the pathway and anxiety from the
mind, but feel sense of pleasure in our
hearts, knowing that we are doing duty
to fellow creature. A helping hand or
an encouraging word is 20 loss to us, yet
an untold benefit to others. Who has
not felt the power of little sentence?
Who has not needed the encouragement
and aid of kind friend? How sooth-
ing, when perplexed with something that
is most difficult and burdelsome, to feel
a gentle hand on the shoulder, and to
hear kind voice whispering, ''Do not
be discouraged; see your troubles, let
me help you" What strength is in
spired, hope created-what sweet graft
tude is felt; and the great difficulty dis
solves as dew before the sunshine. les,
let us help one another, by endeavorn <
to strengthen and encourage the weak
and lifting the burden of care from the
weary and oppressed, that life may
glide smoothly on, and the fount Of
bitterness yield sweet waters; and He
whose willing hand is ever ready to aid
us. will reward our humble endeavors,
and every good deed will be dread up
on the water, to return after many days.
if not to us, at least to those we love.

AS Clear as Mud.

DR.. Tyndall thus defends himself
against the misunderstanding of his
position as scientist into which people
in general have fallen. He denies that
he is materialist, in the accepted sense
of that word, and defines his position
Religious feeling is as much verify as
any other part of human consciousness
and against it, on it's subjective side, the
waves of science beat in vain. But
when manipulated by the constructive
imagination, mixed with imperfect or
inaccurate historic data, and moulded
by misapplied logic, this feeling traverses
our knowledge of nature, science, as in
duty bound, stands as a hostile power in
its path. 1t is against the Hydrologic
scenery, if | may use the term, rather
than against the life and substance of
religion, that science enters her protest"
All of which, to common folk, is, as the
old lady said, "Clear, lucid and ambigu-
ous."

A BOOK Agent Yanauished.

Yesterday evening Prof. Stewart went
into the the Delmonico Restaurant and
asked Andy, the irrepressible head
steward, to bring MIN some stuffed NUT
ton and parsnips. No sooner had the
professor fairly seated himself at one of
the small tables, than book agent came
in and took the other side of the board.
Ihe two men were strangers, but, as a
matter of course, this book peddler
couldn't keep still, and presently made
some conversational advance to Stewart.
Are not these meteorological disturb

tudesP
The professor paused moment as he
was MASKING a potato, and replied:
Guess it's about the same thing every
year."
In seasons of atmospheric depression

elements and rapid changes resultant
on sudden accumulations of moisture,
such dispositions of the storm belt are

"Ah, exactly, my friend; in the ledge

A Sure Cure For Hog Cholera.

The Lewistown, Ill, Gazette, contains
the following: every paper in the United
States ought occasionally to keep the
certain and speedy cure FIR hog cholera.
The best way is to make pile of corn
on the cobs, effectually scorch it, and
then give the affected hogs free access
to it. This remedy was discovered by
E. E. Lock, at the time his distillery was
burnt in this country, together with a
much injured as to be unfit for use, and
greedily eaten by the hogs, several of
which were dying daily. After the sec
ond day not single hog was lost, and
the disease entirely disappeared The
remedy has been tried in number Of
cases since. and has never failed"

If carriers are worn, it is important to
know how to apply them with the least
risk of harm. At the bend of the knee
the superficial veins of the leg unite,
and go deeply into the under part of the
thigh, beneath the ham-string tendons.
Thus ligature below the knee obstructs
all the superficial veins; but if the con-
trivance is above, the ham-string tendons
keep the pressure off the veins which
return the blood from the legs. Unfor-
tunately, most people, in ignorance of
the above facts, apply the garter below
the knee.

If there is such thing as pure and
perfect JOY upon earth, it is that which
fills the heart of parent when he hears
of the wisdom, and virtue, and pros
perity of child. If there be sorrow
that admits not of consolation, it is the
sorrow of father for the vice and folly
of an ungracious, thankless son, and for
the misery in which he has plunged him
self. We hope our young readers will
remember this, and so live as to add to
the happiness Of their parents. -

Seasoned timber is but little liable to
decay under the influence of dry at
mosphere, and will resist decomposition
for an indefinite period when kept to-
tally submerged in the water. The piles
of old London bridge, driven 500 years
before, were found to be in good condi-

in 1929, and those which served as the
foundation for Trojan's bridge over the
Danube, A. ID. 105, are said to be still
visible at low stages of water.
