Sun Spots.

The Detroit Free Press says: 1t
began to rain again soon after dinner
yesterday, and a disgusted citizen who
came down on a Woodward avenue
car beside an old man remarked:
I presume this is owing to those
spots on the sun
sHey?' called the other, as he put
his hand to his ear.
Spots on the sun!' yelled the other.
Hey? Spots ? Where are the
spots ?
On the suny
'Hey!'
sOn the SUM-
The old man rose up, crossed the
car and looked out of the window and
squinted around for a minute, and
then returned and said:
Cant see the sun tall. How did
the spots come there p
Il don't know
Hey
/. Il don't know
Have you seen 'sm?
No
you have, eh?'
4 said no.
'Oh? you haven't? What was your
object in telling ME they were spots on
the sun? | am not so old that per-
NIT any one to make fool Of me P'
The other now looked out of the
window and assumed a careless air.
but the old man was right after him
with:
You come into car when l am
minding my own business and begin
to talk about spots on the sun. Who
are you, sir? Did you want to get
me up to pick my pocket?'
They say the rainy weather comes
from the spots on the sum- explained
the other.
Who says so? Name the man !
I'm around all the time, and | haven't
heard of any spots OIL the sun! If you
think you can work any game on me
you are badly sold.'
The citizen got w, to change his
seat, but the old gent pulled him down
and said:
You wanted to work some sort of a
game on me, and | know it. If | ever
catch you within rod of me again
I'll tie you up in knot in two min
utes! I'll put spots on you till you
can't sleep!'
The citizen made break and got,
and though he had no umbrella he
dropped off in the midst of the rain
with the look of a man glad to make
the exchange. He had just reached
the curb when the old man came
to the platform and called out :
'Took me for greenhorn, did you !?
| wish I'd walked you right to the
police station! All, you miserable
swindler. Spots on the sun! May
be you made something out OF sweet
oiling around me ?

Genius and Fat.

Fat is by some considered an indi-
cation of laziness. Physically, this Is
to certain extent true, but not men,
tally. Some of the greatest men the
world ever saw were plump even to
obesity. Napoleon was decidedly en-
bon point. Some one says that men Of
genius had parchment look former
ly, because being underpaid, they were
consequently underfed. The type is
now, however, as extinct as the dodo
or megatherium. There are:.no literati
now, who like Saudery, flavor their
crust with piece of bacon. stolen
from mouse-trap. DIR. johnson was
fieshy, even to clumsiness. So was his
biographical shadow, Boswell. vii.
liam Writ. the great orator Of the ear
ly part of the century, and attorney
in the Burr trial, laced with corsets
so that he was frequently carried from
the courtroom. Balzac, the French
novelist, was so fat that it was days
exercise to walk around him and he
was encircled with bandages, as if he
were hogshead. Rossini, the musi-
cal composer, was regular Jumbo,
since for six years he never saw his
knees. The small boys called him
hippopotamus in pantaloons. Jules
Janin, the prince of critics, broke
every sofa he sat down upon; his chin
and cheeks protruded beyond his
beard and whiskers. Lablanche was
charged three fares when he Travelled.
Dumas, the elder, was stout. Saint
Beuve was cursed with the stomach Of
a Falstaff. Eugene Sue, the author
of the Wandering jew as well as
Lord Byron, SO dreaded becoming fat
that he INDUCED In vinegar and 1em-
on. 1t is generally considered, when
speaking OF people remarkable for
flesh, that Daniel Lambert leads the
list He was born in 177O. In June,
1900, he weighed, and tipped the beam
at 737 pounds. His measure round
the waist was three yards four inches,
and he was one yard four inches round
the leg. He died ON June 20, 1900,
and his coffin was six feet four inches
long, four feet four inches wide, two
feet four inches deep, and required
one hundred an twelve superficial feet
of plank to make it. 1t was built
ioa two axletrees and four wheels.
Twenty men worked half an hour TO
get this monster into the grave. and
at last slid the coffin down an inclined
plane.
