ended a day of the most intense ex-
element that the Oldest inhabitant
ever dreamed Oh thought of.
The Life of Man.
Robert ]. Burdette.

Man, born of woman, is of few
days and has no teeth. And, indeed
it would be money in his pocket
sometimes if he had less of either,
As for his days, he wasteth one.
third of them; as for his teeth, he has
commissions when he cuts them, and
as the last n comes through, 10!
the dentist is twisting the first one
out, and the last end of that mans
jaw is worse than the first, being full
of porcelain and roof-plate built to
hold blackberry seeds.
-Stene~bruises line his pathway to
manhood; his father boxes his ears
at home, the big boys cuff him Oh the
play grounds, and the teacher whips
him in the school roors. He buyeth
Northwestern at no; when he hath
sold short at &C, and his neighbor
unloadeth upon him Iron Mountain
at G3SS, and it straightway breaketh
down at 6241. lie riseth early and
sitteth up late that he may fill his
barns and storehouses, and 10! his
children's lawyers divide the spoil
among themselves and say "Ha, ha."
He growleth and is sore distressed be-
cause it raineth, and he beateth on
his breast and sayeth "My crop is
lost!" because it raineth not. The
late rains bliteth his wheat and the
frost biteth his peaches. If it be SO
that the sun shineth among the nine
ties, he sayeth, Woe unto, me for l
perish;" and if the northwest wind
sigheth in forty-two below, he crieth
"Would | were dead!" If he wear
sackcloth and blue jeans, men say
He is q tramp" and if he goes forth
shaven and clad in purple and fine
linen all the people cry Shoot the
dude!"
He carryeth insurance for twenty
five years, until he has paid thrice
over for all his goods, and then he
letteth his policy lapse one day, and
that same night fire %destroyeth the
store. He buildeth a house in Jersey,
and his first born is devoured by mos
quitoes; he pitcheth his tent in New
York, and tramps devour his. sub
stance. He moveth to Kansas and q
cyclone carryeth his house over into
Missouri, while a prairie fire and ten
million acres of grasshoppers fight
for his crop. He settleth himself in
Kentucky, and is shot the next day
by gentleman,a colonel and o states
man, Because sab, he resembles sab,
a man, sab, that he didn't like sah."
Verify, there is no rest for the sole of
his foot, and if he had it to do over
again, he would not be born at all,
for the day of death is better than
the day Of ones birth.

Lively Times in Dahomey.
San francisco Post.

The king of Dahomey received an
invoice of Krupp cannon not long ago,
and conceived the idea of having them
mounted on elephants backs for use
in the field. With much difficulty this
project was carried out, and at the
next military review the kind ordered
that ona of the guns be fred imme-
diately in front of the royal position,
first taking the precaution to place O
couple of thousand prisoners about
where it was calculated the ball would
strike, SO as to judge of the effective
ness of the shot. When all was ready,
one of the biggest elephants was backed
round and sighted. just as the Ian
yard was ierked, however, the animal
turned half round to reach for q peanut
or something, and the shell took off the
prime minister's head and Knocked a
hole as big as q sewer through the
royal palace. His majesty wouldn't
have cared SO much if the matter had
ended there, as the minister wasn't very
prime, and the palace needed ventila-
ton, but it didn't. On the contrary,
the elephant, which had been stood on
Its head by the recoil, picked itself up
in o fury and started in on the down
grade ahead Of it's ticket. 1t upset the
grand stand the very first rush, slung
the grand chamberlain and past grand
carver of missionaries into the next
street. It then jumped into the brass
band with all four feet, and if it hadn't
gotten the big drum over it's head so
that it couldn't .see, would probably
have cleared out the entire congrega-
ton.
The king was not found until the
next morning, and then,. as he slid
down out of a banana tree, he was un-
.derstood to remark that there was only
one thing needed to render his new
artillery system an entire success that
was to get the enemy to adopt it.

How to Tell Good Eggs.

A good egg will sink in water.
A boiled egg which is done will dry
quickly on the shell when taken from
the kettle.
Boiled eggs which adhere to the
shell are fresh laid.
After an egg has been laid a day
or two the shell comes off easily when
boiled.
Stale eggs are CLASSY and smooth
Of shell.
A fresh egg has q lime-like surface
to it's shell.
Eggs which have been packed in
lime look stained, and show the action
of the lime ON the surface.
With the aid of the hands, q piece
ofpaper rolled in funnel shape and
held towards the light. the human
eye can look through an egg, shell
and all.
If an egg is clear and golden in
appearance when held toward the
light, it is good; if dark and spotted,
it is bad.
A spoilt egg may sometimes be
told by shaking it near the hold
er's ear, but the test is a dangerous
one.
Thin shells are caused by q lacI
of gravel, etc, among the laying hens.
