rhe Antiquity and Scarcity of Jokes.

Hazlett says that from the beginning of the world to the time of HIerOcles, in the early Christian days. mankind had perpetrated only about twenty-oue jokes. During nearly 5000 years the world had only those twenty-One sayings to laugh at. \ new joke was Ina ie on the aver age every 2j0 years. From the time of Hierocles tO the present day the number of jOcose sayings has increased from 2l to pretty nearly 2l, 2l,OOUOO0, au enormous proportion of tlis vast aggregate, how ever, consisting of some modification or combination of the original twenty-One. \ really good anCcdOte has a kind of immortality of its own. It IS repro duced in every known cline and tongue. It k published in German paper as a part of the biography of Bismarck, then translated into English and connected with Disraeh, and then reproduced in America and attributed to some of our own great statesmen. We had read stories about Mir. Moody which origi- mated with the priesthood in the time of the Crusades, and some of the smartest things which Sidney Smith is supposed to have created, but which he probably borrowed from the third or fourth cen tJ;ry, are told in connection with Nr. Sturgeon and Mir. Boecher. However. We laugh at 1t, all the same, and the sim pie fact that 1t has been repeated during the last eighteen or twenty generations doesn hurt 1t any more than it hurts a tidi!e string to be used in a great many concerts and for very different tunes.

Copper in the East.

Judging from the following paragraph from the Boston Economist, such of our people as are interested in copper mines need not fear to go ahead and develop their properties, as there appears to be no danger of causing copper to become a drug Tn the market: "The copper min ing interest continues to grow in i'm portance, and the prices of ingots are well maintained. Lake Superior loses none of its importance in the market consequent upon developments in other sections, and We look forward to in- creased demand at steady prices. Sales at IS afford profit, and stimulate the work ing of increased forces in all copper dis tricts."

Strictly Temperate, Except

On the sleeper of an L. F. and W. train recently, a traveller noticed an old, white-bearded gentleman trying to get into a linen duster. The young and spry traveller rushed to his assistance. and in helping him with his garment noticed a gOOd-sized whisky flask pro- truding from one of the inside pockets of his coat. Being of a waggish nature, he appropriated the bottle, got the coat on the stranger, and then, pulling out a flask, said:
 Will you take a drink2'
 The old man did not recognize the bottle, and, drawing himself up, re- marked, rather severely:
 "No, SIT; never drink
 " It won't hurt you, insisted the wag "It's the best"
 Young man," said the old gentle man, intending all in the car to hear, If you persist in drinking whisky you will be ruined man at forty. It Is the curse of the land. When l was boy my mother died, and the last thing she did was to call me to her bedside and say: John, swear to me that you will never touch a drop of liquor '"-
 Here the old man clasped his hand on his side pocket, found 1t empty, and recognizing the bottle in the hands of the other, he continued:
 Except, my dear boy, an occasional snifter while travelling"
 And reaching for the flask he pressed 1t to his lips amid a howl of laughter which shook the whole car Fairplay, Col, Flume.
