One New Years day Bennett, the proprie
| tor of the New York Herald, arrived at the
| Union Club toward night, having made many
| calls. He sat down in chair and observing
| that some members of the club were present,
| ing Peter, the venerable porter of the club
with So bills us New Years presents, he
| called him over and fishing down into one
of his pockets brought up bill
Peter, my friend" he said, without look
ing at the bill, take that"
THANK you, sir" said Peter, his eyes glis-
tening at the sight of a $40 bill.
Bennett gazing at him for second said
sleepily, wait Peter" and diving down into
another pocket" brought up another bill
Take that, Peter"
This performance went on for fully five
minutes. Every time that the astonished
Peter attempted to retire he wascalled back,
and the presentation of every kind of bill
from 81 to $50 went on to the amusement of
the spectators. When no more bills came
forth Bennett stopped and went away
Peter asked some of the members what he
had best do with his hat full of money. He
was advised to ask Mr.. Bennett the next time
he came whether he had not given him by
mistake more than he had intended. So the
next day when Bennett appeared Peter said
to him:
"Mr. Bennett, think you gave me more
OF new wears present than you intended
last night"
Bennett looked at him for few seconds,
not having the glimmer of an idea of how
much he had given, or whether he had given
anything at all.
How much did | give you, Peter?"
Eight hundred dollars, sir"
The position was delicate one, but not so
much so to man with an income ola million
year as to an ordinary mortal THAT was
the amount | intended for you, Peter" said
Bennett without a sign of annoyance
Nothing mean about these "lterary fellers."

She stepped into the elevator with others,

startled on looking around and beholding the

broken he determined in q practical way by
the area of contact ofan ordinary wheel with
smooth road. This he found to be about
an inch lenthwse, and therefore he laid it
down that "a stone which exceeds an inch in
any of its dimensions is mischievous," that
is to say that the wheel in pressing on one
end of it tends to lift the other end out of
the road. In practice he found it simplest
to fix weight of six ounces, and his sur
veyors carried about scales to test the largest
stones in each heap. He would allow nolarge

Girls belong to the animal kingdom. They
are good when they are asleep and don't
kick the covers off Most other times they
are naughty. These lines of the poet de.
scribe some girls:
There was little girl,
And she had a little curl,
That hung down over her forehead,
When she was good, she was very good,
But when she was bad, she was horrid.
Girls don't know much, like boys do. Girls
don't know horses from mules, and they
don't know mules from donkeys
Girls cant throw stones, and they cant
whistle, and they can't sharpen lead pencil
good, even with pair of scizzors, but they
can eat slate pencils, and they can look into
the looking glass long time without getting
tired.
When they get big they put powder on
their faces and wear bangs, but they ought
ner TO do it,
Girls are most all petted and spoilt. They
sew doll clothes, while boys has to go down
the cellar, and bring up coal, and split wood.
One girl is about rs bad as four boys.
Girls like ribbons and bows, specially the
bows.
Some girls play on thepiano, while mother
is in the kitchen, washing clothes and dishes,
they bang the PIANO keys and sing very sweet
