Brought Him in Alive.

A defeated man is fortunate il he
happens 10 he a witty one too. Ho can
save his credit 10y his explanation. An
exchange tells how lucky phrase Of
army language brought certain "hero"
out of a doubtful hunting experience
with success:
A party of soldiers "out West" not
having much to do, resolved to go bear
hunting. They had been out about six
teen hours md had not seen bear, and,
aing tired and hungry, returned to
amp. On their arrival at headquarters
hey missed one Of their companions,
but thought nothing OF it, one Of them
remarklng:
"He Will return all right"
They made their campfire and CON-
menced preparations for supper. They
had some coffee over the FIRE; one of
them was slicing some potatoes, another
was stewing some meat, and the re-
mainder sat around the fire waiting,
when they were all startled by terrible
noise that seemed to come nearer the
camp. Suddenly the thickets parted,
and in rushed the missing man, his hair
standing on end, his face deadly white,
his gun gone, and his arms flying in
the air, as if grasping for imaginary OBJ
jects, and about two feet behind him
came great black bear. The pursued
soldier turned when he saw the bear
drop, and, looking at one Of them, said,
breathlessly:
Sis he dead?"
One of the men asked:
"Why didn't you shoot him, instead
of running?"
"What do you take me for ?" replied
the missing one. "Do you think 1 was
such fool as to shoot him, when /
could bring him in alive?"

Eatter.0f.Fact People.

A very slight stretch of imagination is
required to depict the amazement of
that inquiSitive old gentleman of bo.
tanical turn OF mind who inquired OF the
gardener In one Of the public places of
promenade: Pray, my good man, can
you inform me if this particular plant
belongs to the arbutus family ?" when
he received for reply: "No, sir it
don't; it belongs to the corporation "
The same applies to that ambitious
young lady who was talking very earn
estly about her favorite authors, when
one of the company inquired il she liked
Lamb. With an indignant toss Of the
head she answered that she scared very
little about what she ate, compared
with knowledge. "-CAambers' Journal

How to Mind q Baby.

First man must have one to take
care of. 1t isn't every one that is fort
unate enough to have one, and when he
does his wife is always wanting to run
over to the neighbours five minutes, and
ne has to attend to the baby. Sometimes
she caresses him, and oftener she says,
sternly, "John, take good care of the
child till return" You want to re-
monstrate, but cannot pluck up courage
while the awful female eye is upon you;
80 you prudently refrain, and merely re-
mark: "Don't stay long, my dear"
She is scarcely out of sight when the
luckless babe opens its eyes, and it's
mouth also, and emits yell which
causes the cat 10 bounce out of the door
as if something had stung it. You tim
idly lift the cherub, and sing an operatic
air; it does not appreciate it, and yells
the louder. You try to bribe it with q
bit Of sugar not bit of use, it spits it
out. You get wrathy and shake it. 1t
stops second, and you venture an
other, when, good heavens! it sets up
such roar that the passers-by look up
in astonishment. You feel desperate
your hair stands on end and the perspira-
tion oozes cut of every pore as the ago
nizing thought comes over you, what If
the luckless child should have a fit
You try baby talk; but "Gtty, litty
lamby" has no effect-for it stretches as
II red-hot poker had been laid upon
its spine, and still it yells. You are
afraid the neighbors viii be alarmed,
and give it your gold watch as last re-
source, jlst in time to save your whis-
kers; though it tiuows down handful
of your cherished mustaches to take tho
watch, and you thankfully find an easy
chair to resty your aching limbs, when down
comes that costly watcn upon the floor,
and the cause of all The trouble breaks
into 81 ear-splitting roar, and you SGT
your teeth and prepare to administer
personal chastisement, when in rushes
the happy woman known as your wife,
snstches up the longs 4Eering child
from your willing arms, and, sitting
down, stills it by magic, while you gaze
mournfully at the remains Of your watch
and cherished nlustache, and, utter:ng
a malediction on babykind in general,
and on the image of its father in partic-
ular, vow never to take care Of the baby
again--untl tie next time.

College PatrOnymics.

A few years ago one of the students ut
Bowdoin College bore the euphonious
title of "Spud." He was fine scholar,
and after graduation was chosen an in
structor in the college. OF course his
student name still clings to him. He
knew it, and didn't like it, He was very
digniied, and his professional chair did
not diminish the gravity of his de-
meanor. One day some boys playing
ball near the door of a recitation-room
III which "Spud" was conducting a
Latin exercise, annoyed this expounder
of subjectives and the intricacies of in
direct discourse, and calling sopho-
more to him, he said /: "Please go to
the door, Mr.. A., and say to those players
that desire them to cease their play or
make less noise" A. went to the door,
stuck his head out, and shouted in stem
torian tones: Here, you fellows Spud
says dry upp' Another Professor at the
same college bore the nickname "Kai.
gar, from two common Greek words.
In fact very few professors in any Ameri-
can college escape familiar or opprobrious
nicknames at the hands of the students.
One of the happiest hits of this sort was
at the expense of certain Yale professor
who was called "Old Spondee "a spon-
dee, in metrical versification, consisting
of two long feet.

Opera.EIass Whisky-Flask.

The latest thing out, and certainly an
article that will ill want long felt, IS
an opera glass that will hold half pint
of whisky. 1t is, in fact, a whisky flask,
with lenses and things just IKE an opera
glass, and person can take drink
without going out between the acts. 1t
can be used as an opera glass with or
without taking a drink. If you want to
take drink there is a little spring that
you tonch with the little finger. when
silver tube drops down into the mouth,
and the whisky flows as easy as possible.
1t works best when you point the opera
glass up into the gallery, because that
act gives it the natural incline. Quite
number of these new opera-glasses are
said to be in use, and they give excellent
satisfaction. A party of four gentlemen
had one between them at the theater
one night, and though they have been
regular corn TANNERS heretofore, going
out between the acts with unfaiing
regularity and walking over whole rows
of people, on this occasion they did not
go out until the third act, when the
opera-glass ran dry. 1t was amusing TO
see them take turns with thct opera
glass, looking up into the gallery at
some imaginary acquaintance. One
would take the glass and look up and
take drink, and bow to somebody up
stairs, and hand the glass to another and
he would look up. The last one to drink
out of it came near giving the whole
scheme away by shaking it when it re-
fused to give down. After the last drink
the gentlemen sat in solemn silence for
ten minutes, and then they could not
stand it longer, so they got up and filed
out for drink. It was evident that
they had got it filled while they were
out, because they again began looking
at the fellows in the gallery. II this
opera whisky glass-Aask comes into gen.
eral use it will save visitors to places of
amusement great deal of annoyance, as
there is no greater nuisance at theater
than gang of fellows getting up and
blowing through an audience to get
drink. Quite q number of ladies have
been noticed looking up into the gal
leries with opera-gasses, but We cannot
think they have secured these new TASKS.
However, If they have not, they had bet
ter be careful about looking up high for
. time, for fear people will misconstrue
their motives. -Peck's Sun.

Persons who live in cities. and only
have a small yard where the sun shines,
can have nice berries enough for family
use without being troubled by weeds.
Take a hogshead, or cask, and commence
six inches from the bottom, and with
two-inch augur bore it full of holes six
inches apart. Then fill up by degrees
with rich dirt, and as you fill up set a
strawberry root in the dirt, with the
crown or leaves out of the augur hole,
and when it is filled to the top you can
set row around the top; but leave
hollow in the center, SO that when you
wish you can pour in soapsuds or liquid
manure, so that you can force them to
grow very large, and they will be nice
and clean. 1t would be more durable to
have two or three iron hoops on the
hogshead. Parsley can be raised the
same way. The above is more useful
than a rustic stumpin the yard. Farm

experiment once" says an agricultural
contemporary. "and found it worked
admirably. The fierce animal tore the
ground with his feet and beloved with
all his might, but something seemed to
hold him back like magic, and he did
us no injury. Perhaps we ought tc

A Carson Mans Idea OF n Puff.

"What do you mean by that ?" was
the sharp inquiry of a well-known bust
ness man of Ormsby County, who
bounced into the editorial rooms of one
of the leading Carson dailies with a copy
of the paper in his hand SIS THAI .our

A ghostly reporter sadly hung his
shears on the well-worn rack, trembnngly
as paste pot, and, in weak voice,

Prom the days of Father Adam, when the
golden glories OF Eden made life To him one

through the ages. man has ever yearned for a
nobler. grander life for an unfettered ex-
istence far from the grinding cares Of daily toll

"Well," snarled the visitor, what

Here, I've written out something that'll
