Always Polite to Ladies.

One car-driver Of Galveston, Tevas,
considers himself polite when he talks
back to old ladies who are a bit troub-
lesome. An old lady got on the street
car, and as soon as she set eyes on the
driver she called out:
"You are the very driver that re-
fused to stop the Car, and made fun of
me-"
yesterday afternoon?" he asked.
"Yes; yesterday afternoon;"
"On the corner of Twenty-seventh
aud Avenue L?"
EYES"
"On the northwest corner?'
"Just about the corne"."
''At three o'clock?'
Yes. sir; at three o'clock"
"Was it blue Car, with bay mule ?"
'Certainly; blue car and bay mule,
and feller with red pimple on his
nose, and mouth like catfish, just
like yours, driving it."
'And you bawled out, 'Stop-that
car! Stop-that
"Yes, you scoundrel!'
''Then it wasn't me, for am always
polite to ladies'"

The Power of the Press.

he had never been sued for libel. or
attacked in his sanctum, but he could
call many narrow escapes. Twenty
five years ago he was running red
hot paper on the line of the Michigan
Central railroad. \ man named Car
son,who was running for the same OF
flee, was given a bad racket and the
editor received a note that if he had
anything more to say he migl t expect
to receive good pounding. He had
IA still more bit er attack the next
week, and the paper was hardly mail

didate, accompanied by a brother and
two cousins. The four was strapping
big fellows, and each was armed with a
horsewhip. The two compositors and
the devil, got ont with all speed. He
realized the situation at once, and be-

Eggs as " no esome Food.

Would it not be wise to substitute
more eggs for .lueat IL our daily diet?
About one-third of the weight of an
egg is solid nutriment. This is more
than can be said of meat. There are
no bones, no tough pieces that have to
be laid aside. A good egg is made up
Of ten parts shell, sixty parts white.
and thirty parts yolk. TIE white of
an egg contains sixty six per centum
water, the yolk fifty-two per centum.
Practically an egg is animal food, and
yet there is none OF the dsagreeable
work of the butcher necessary to OBJ
tain it. The vegetarians Of England
use eggs freefsAand many Of these men
are eighty and pinety years old, and
have been remarkably free from illness.
Eggs are best when cooked four min
utes. This takes away the animal
tast that is offensive to some, but does
not harden the white Or yolk SO as to
make them hard toS digest. An egg
cooked very hard is difficult to diges-
tion except by those of stout s,osnachs?
such eggs should be eaten with bread
and masticated very finely. An egg
spread on toast is food fit for king,
if kings deserve any bitter food than
anybody else, which is doubtful Fried
eggs are less wholesome tfon boiled
ones. An egg dropped in hot water
is not only clean and handsome but
IA delicious morsel. Most people spoil
the taste of their eggs by adding pep
per and falt. A little sweet butter is
the best dressing. Eggs contain much
phosphorus, which is supposed TO be
useful to those who use their brains
much.

Old Shoes.

You probably think that if you look

P. ayr g to Chance.

A lady who had forsaken her God
and the Bible for the gloom and dark
ness of infidelity, was crossing the At
lantic, and asked a sailor one morning
how long they should be out.
"In fourteen days, if it is Gods will,
we shall be in Liverpool" he replied.
''In few days terrible storm
arose, and the lady stood clinging OH
the side of the cabin door in an agony
Of terror, when the sailor passed her.
"What do you think, sir, will the
storm soon be over?"
"It seems likely to last for sometime
madam"
"Oh!" she cried, "pray that we
may not be lost"
His reply was, "Madam, shall pray
to chance:"

" here wood violets love to grow

Where wood violets love to grow
Tricky lies the winter snow;
Where the streamlet sung and danced.
And the summer sunbeam glanced
Through the meadow, down the dale
All is hushed. and chill, and pale
Where the crow-f oots tender green
Earliest in the spring is seen:
Where the checkerberrles hide
By the pale arbutus' side,
And the cowslips. tipped with gold
Over hill ard dale unfold;
Where the ferret, soft and brown.
Stores his nest with pilfered down:
And the feld-mouse in the heather
Sleeps for days and weeks together:
And the squirrel, wise and dumb,
Waits for better DAYS to come:
Lies the winter-bitter strong
Heaped through freezing nights and long
While the tempest comes and goes,
Sliding swift DER dritted SHOWS;
Clouds above and gloom below;
Tell me-when will winter go
When the buds begin to swell
When the streams leap through the dell;
When the swallows dip and fly.
Wheeling circling. through the sky:
When the violet bids the rose
Waken from its long repose.
When the gnats in sunshine dance
When the long bright hours advance:
When the robin by the door
Sings as he er he sang before;
Then. when heart and flower. and wing
Leap and laugh-then comes the spring
