A new commentator declares
the reason ssthe boy stood on
the burning deck" was because
it was too hot to sit down.
II say, old fel, you haven't a
5-franc piece about you that you
don't know what to do with, have
you?" "There's one.' "Thanks
but, hello, | say, you know, it
is bad!" "You asked me for
one / didn't know what to do

They were inspecting group

who that female figure was. He
said that he wasn't certain about

A man who had $50 stolen
from him received a note with

A man who quit keeping a d.
airy because he couldn't find any
thing to write in it, was the next
day run over by a cart, beaten
out of So on a dog trade, black
guarded by a fishwife and drawn
on jury. He will resume the
diary.
"The times are hard, my dear"
said a man to his better half,
"and l find it difficult to keep
my nose above water" "You
could easily keep your nose
above water" returned she, eff
you didn't SO often keep it above
brandy"
"Gentlemen,' said a Yankee
auctioneer, with true pathos, eff
my father and mother stood
where you stand and did not buy
this stewpan-this elegant stew
pan going at one dollar-I should
feel it my bounden duty to tell
them both, as son, that they
were both false to their country,
and false to themselves"
81 wish you would keep your

mount, the dentist, suddenly To-
sing patience with the patients
predilection to talking. "All
right" said the latter, suiting the
action to the word. And then
Hollemount asked him if he'd
be SO kind as to open his mouth
again long enough for him (Hol-
lemount) to get his finger out.
You never know how to please

One of the most portly and
dignified of the Mormon bishops
was lately seen running in a Salt
Lake street, closely pursued by
a woman, who whacked him with
a broomstick every time she got
within reaching distance. She
was the first and only wife of
Brother Jones, and she had heard
the bishop advising her husband
to practise the preccpts of the
church by taking an additional
spouse or two.

An Astounding Discovery.

IF the latest discoveries which
the eminent phiiologist, DIR.
Rudolf Falb, claims to have
made during his linguistic re-
searches in South America
should prove to be we'll founded,
we shall have to interchange the
titles which we are giving at
present 10 the two hemispheres.
America, according to DIR. Falb's
hypothesis, is the 'OId World;"
Europe, Africa and Asia really
constitute the "New World. +"
We learn from his own summa-
ry of his researches, communi-
Gated to the Neue Freie Presse
of Vienna, that the languages
spoken by the indians in Peru
and Bolivia Especially in Qui-
chua and Aimara) exhibited the
most astounding affinities with
the Semitic languages, and par
ticularly with the Arabic-in
which tongue DIR. Falb himself
has been skilled from his boy
hood. Following up the lines
of this discovery, DIR. Falb has
found % a connecting link
with the Aryan roots, and (2)
has ultimately arrived face to
face with the surprising revela-
ton that "the Semitic roots arc
universally Aryan." The COM
mon stems Of all the variants are
found in their purest condition
in Quichua and Aimara, from
which fact DR.. Falb derives the
conclusion that the high plains
of Peru and Bolivia must be re-
garded as the point Of exit Of
the present human race. Sc
Adam was an American.

profuse perspiration requires a
large quantity OF water 10 sup

the want very imperfectly, and
a large drink of cold or even

in such case is very liable to
produce death with the sudden

advantage has been obtained BY

tell why oatmeal, for this pur-
pose, should be any better than
the meal Of corn, buckwheat,

firemen declare that they find il
so. The same thing apDlies Ia
horses doing hard work on a
