Mel, and Women.

When a woman becomes durried sho
feels for q fan; when man becomes
Hurried he feels for q cigar.
Women jump at conclusions and
generally hit; men reason things but
logically and generally miss it.
Women always show by their actions
that they enjoy going to church; men
are less demonstrative. rs
Some women can't pass millinery
store with out looking in; some men
can't pass . saloon without going in.
A woman never sees baby without
wanting to run to it; man never sees
. baby without wanting to run from il.
Women love admiration, appro bation,
adulation, self -immolatio on the part
of others, and are often weak, vain and
frivolous. Ditto men.
A woman always carries her purse.
in her hand; so that other women will
see it; q man carries his in his inside
pocket, so that his wife won't see it.
A man Of fashion hates the rain be-.
cause it deranges the set of his panta-
looms; q woman of fashion hates it be-
cause it derang her complexion.
When woman wants to repair dam
ages she uses pin; when . man wants
to repair damages he spends two hours
and . half trying to thread needle.
Awoman can sit in. a theater for three
hours without getting all cramped up,
catching the toothache, or becoming
faint for want of fresh air; man can't.
When woman is asked by q fond lover
for her heart and hand and says IN o, =
she don't always mean it; when q man.
is asked by jovial friend to take some
thing and SAYS mo. . he don't always
mean it, either. - PHILADELPHIA Call.

Some people are bright enough to en-

it to others Failures of this kind are
sometimes very ludicrous. We give
some good specimens. The most
famous of this class was the college
Professor who, on parting with stu
dent that had called on him, noticed
that he had a new coat, and remarked
that it WAS too short. The student.
with an air Of resignation, replied: ut
will be long enough before get anoth-
en-" The Professor enjoyed the joke
heartily, and, going to a meeting Of the
college Faculty just afterwards, he en-
tered the room in great glee and said:s
''Young Sharp got off such q joke just
now. He called on me little while
ago, and as he was leaving I noticed
his new coat, and told him it was too
short, and he said, 1t will be q long
time before get another" No one
LAUGHED, and the Professor, SOLDERING
down, remarked: 1T doesn't seem so
funny as when he said it.
A red-haired lady. who was ambi-
tious of literary distinction, found but

in speaking of her disappointment, said:

late the joke elsewhere, said: .'She
