A village schoolmaster, examining a
reading class, asked the head of the
class, What is artificial manure r.
Don't know" SAID he, and the same
reply was given by four other boys; but a
precocious youngster, not yet in his
teens, was equal TO the occasion, and
said; "Please, sir, it's the stuff they grow
artificial flowers in"
Stockings divided so as to separate

they are likely to promote cleanliness,
prevent troublesome soft corns, abolish
foot deformity, and, perhaps, sinking
feet.

A newly-arrived and singularly-assort-
ed couple at New York hotel, consisting
of Londoner and AN out-and-out Ameri-
can Western man, stood watching the
throng of people coming and going at the
marble counter the other evening, and
listening with surprise to the endless
number of quick questions made to the
hotel clerk about trains. rooms and indi-
viduals, and bis instantaneous replies,
when the Englishmnn broke out with:
"Most extraordinary man; seems to
know everybody and evcrything-wonder
if there is any question about railway
train or any person that he cant answer"
"I'll bet half dozen champagne I'll
put him question about a train he can't
answer" said the Westerner.
"Donel I'll stand six to see him go to

"Well, here goes then," and Western
stepped up to the marble counter.
Say! You appear TO know everything
and everybody; who is there that's going
to h, and when'll the train start?"

the laughter had subsided, 'you can

withdrew, and the clerk kept answering
questions about other and more familiar
routes with perfect equanimity.

THE EDITORS TABLE.
BY WILL ". CARLTON.

The editor sat in his sanctum, eountenance
furrowed with care,
His mind at the bottom of business, his feet
at the top of a chair,
His chair-arm an elbow, supporting, bis
right hand upholding his head.
HIS eyes on his dusty old table, with differ
ent documents spread
There were thirty long pages FROM Howler,
with underlined capitals topped,
And short requsition from Growler, re.
questing his newspaper stopped;
There were lyrics from Gusher, the poet,
concerning sweet nowerets and zephyrs,
And stray gem from Plodder, the farmer,
describing couple OF heiiers;
There were bllets from beautiful maidcns
' and bills from grocer or two.
And his best leader hitched toa letter which
inquired if he wrote it or who2
There were raptures Of praises from writers,
Of the smooth and melliherous school,
And one of his rivals last papers, informing
him he was fool;
There were several long resolutions, with
names telling who they were by,
Canouizing some harmless old brother who
had done nothing worse then to die;
There were traps ou that table to catch him,
and serpents to sting and smite him
There were gift enterprises to sell him, and
bters attempting to bite him;
There were long staring "ads" from the city,
and money with never one,
Which added, "Please give this insertion and
send in your bill when you're done"
There were letters from organizations their
meetings, their wants and their laws
Which said "Can you print this announce
ment for the good Of our glorious cause2"
There were tickets inviting bis presence to
festivals, parties and shows,
Wrapped in notes. with "Please give us q
notice." demurely slipped in at the
close; +g
In short, as bis eye took the table, aud ran
o'er its ink-spattered trash,
There was nothing it did not encounter; ex-
cepting perhaps-t was cash.
