Ph1l's Conundrum.

A Scotchman, so Sidney Smith
falsely said, requires a surgical opera
ton to get a joke through his head. A
writer in a contemporary, however,
tells the story Of a man who Couldn't
get a conrndrum through his head:
There was a time with the club when
conundrums and quaint play upon
words constituted the chief Of the post
prandial enjoyment. We had all fur
nished conundrums except Phil; and
we told him, one evening, if he didn't
have a good conundrum, fresh and new,
we would suspend him for neglect
ing to furnish his quota of entertain
ment.
That night Phil fingered behind af-
ter the others had gone, and then ap-
rlied to our steward, Michael. to help.
him out from his difficulty.
Mike give me a conundrum-a real
fresh one-that's a good fellow. You
know III do Al much for you any
time" Mike knew it, and scratched
his hea'; and finally evolved the fol-
lowing "It is my fathers child, and
my mothers child yet it is not my
sister nor my brother"
Goodness me! Mike how can that
be?n
Why, don't you see, Mr.. Barton :?
it's mysey. | am my fathers child.
and my mothers child but, of course,
| amt my own brother or sister
either
"Ah. | see. That's good. Capital .
Now, Let's see" And he repeated it
until he was sure he had it right.
On the following day over the des-
sert, Phil announced:
"Ho, boys. I've got a ~conundrum
for you, and there amt one Of you that
a answer it.
900 ahead, old fellow. Let us have
it. PROFOUND"
well, here it is: 1t is my fathers
child and my mothers child, yet it is
not my sister nor my brother"
They thought few moments, and
then one of them cried out, and the
rest Immediately followed suit:
"Why, it's yourself, of course"
NO. said Phil, shaking his head.
That amt it. You won't guess it
but that is it, 1t ean't be anything
else. Look at it for yourself.'
II don't care. 'Taint right. You
haven't got it."
well, then, who IAN it be? Tel
us"

Moral Jewels.

The only real honor is given by vir-
tue; all'otber distinctions among men
are merely trivial, and can not btar
the test of time or of truth.
1t is not those who are the wisest
men who are the most given to pride
of learning. We may expect, and Of
ten find, the most forward assumption
displayed by those who have the least
foundation of knowledge to justify it.
II man is Indifferent to the appro-
baton of his fellow-men, and insensi-
BILE to their praise and blame, WI may
be sure he has either risen far above.
or has fallen much below, the ordinary
standards OF mans life and nature.
MERCEDES.
Hers all that life could promise or bestow,
Youth, beauty, love. a crown, the beckoning
year:
Lids TO be pearled with none but joyous tears:
A life unsoiied with any vulgar woe,
And by a nation swelled to lordlier flow:
What lurking place. We thought. for doubts
or fears
When a white swan, she swan along the
Of the Alcala but five brief months ago:
The cannon shouted hymeneals then
That on her birthday now d%enounce her
doom:
The same white steeds that tossed their scorn
To-day as hearty drag her to the tomb;
Grim jest of fate, yet who dare call ii blind
Who knows what life is, what our human
kind?

SUNSHINE From an acOrn weigh
ing Il few grains, a tree will grow for a
hundred years or more not only throw
ing of many pounds of leaves every
year, but itself weighing several tons.
If an orange twig is put in a large box
of earth, and that earth is weighed
when the twig becomes a tree, bearing
luscious fruit there will be very nearly
the same amount of earth. From care
full experiments made by different
scientific men, it is an ascertained fact
that a very large part of the growth Of
"A tree is derived from the sun from
the air, and from the water, and a very
little from the earth and notably, all
vegetation becomes sickly unless it is
frequently exposed to sunshine.
Wood and coal are but condensed sun
shine, which contain three important
elements, equally essential to both veg
etable and animal life-magnesia, lime
and iron. 1t is the iron in the blood
which gives it its sparkling red color
and its strength. 1t is the lime in the
bones which give them the durability
necessary to bodily vigor, while the
lnagnesia is important to any of the
tissues. Thus it is, hat the more per-
sons are out of doors, the more healthy,
the n.ore vigorous they are, and the
longer they will live. Every human
being ought to have an hour or two of

In certain eases even two. or three in

Besnier advises the injection of an en-
tire syringeful at the highest point, a

EX-SENATOR THURMAN DECLINES.
In letter dated Paris, France, May

tor Allen g. Thurman positively de-
clines to permit tho use of his name for
the democratic nomination for Governor
of Ohio. Mr.. Thurman says when he
left the Senate he made up his mind
that he would return to private life
for good and ever" and that he still re-
mains of that MUD. The veteran ex.
Senator adds that his private affairs, too
long neglected, TIE i all his attention,
besides he has arrived at that age when
man ought TO quit holding Office, and
moreover that he has had his full share
of honors. He adds: "Let the young
men come to the front. 1 would not
have accepted the appointment I now
hold but for my desire to see Europe,
and the fact that it would be of short
duration. I shall always take deep
interest In politics and do my best for
the success of the democratic party
But do not want office. II the demo-
cratic patty act wisely we shall carry
