The Joke Of the Milwaukee JOKER.

Coming into a Milwaukee barber snop
. few days ago a railroad man espied q
friend in one of the chairs, and sneak
ing quietly up behind he seized the
lather brush and daubed him in the
eyes and face till he looked like Hump
" Dumptv without any mouth. The
victim struggled, but to no purpose.
and when he finally got on his feet his
head was a ball of soap-suds. 1t was
then that the spectators first discovered
that he had mouth in spite of appear
ances to the contrary. and the way he
went for his assailant proved that he
knew how to use it. In the language
of the manager of the skating rink,
HE deserved the Florida medal" Al
the sound of his voice the railroad man
turned as pale as ghost The victim
was total stranger TO him, and but for
the iutercession of the boss barber, gore
would probably have been spilled. The
railroad mans apologies were profuse,
but his laughter rang no more that day.
He didn't want to laugh; he had had
his laugh before he discovered his mis-
take, and he had got through. Now be
always looks q man all over and waits
for him to speak first before he tries to
have any fun with him in a barber'i
chair.-ErchdnSe.

In the construction of this work, built
by the Empress Anna Iyanovna, on the
Neva, 1879, the simplest means were
used. First, the purest and most trans
parent ice was selected. This was cut
into large blocks, squared with rule
and compass, aud carved with all the
regular architectural embellishments.
No cement was used. Each block when
ready was raised to its destined place
by cranes and pulleys, and just before
it was let down upon the block which
was to support it, water was poured
between the two; the upper block was
Immediately lowered, and as the water
froze almost instantly, in that intensely
cold climate, the two blocks became
literally one. In fact, the whole build
ing appeared to be, and really was, a
single mass of ice. The effect it pro-
duced must have been infinitely more
beautiful than if it had been of the most
costly marble its Transparency and
blush tint giving it rather the appear
ance of precious stone.
In dimensions, the structure was fifty
six feet long, eighteen feet wide. twenty
one feet high, and with walls three feet
in thickness. At each corner of the
palace was pyramid of the same
height as the roof, of course built of ice,
and around the whole was low pal
isade of the same material. The actual
length of the front view, including the
pyramids. was one hundred and four
teen feet.
The palace was built in the usual
style of Russian architecture. The
facade was plain, being merely divided
into compartments by pilasters. There
was window in each division, which
was painted in imitation of green mar
BILE. The window-panes were formed
Of slabs of ice, as transparent and
smooth as sheets of plate-glass. Al
night, when the palace was lighted, the
windows were curtained by canva:
screens, on which grotesque figures
were painted. Owing to the trans
parency of the whole material, the
general effect of the illumination mus
have been fine, the whole palace seem
ingly being filled with delicate pearly
light. The central division projected
and appeared to be door, but was IL
fact, large window, and was illumina
ted like the others. Surrounding tn,
facade of the building was an orna
mental balustrade, and at each end o
the sloping roof was huge chimney
The entrance was at the rear. Al eacl
side of the door stood ice-imitations o

"A gentleman residing at Aiken. S.
c.. recently sent pair of ponies that
had been driven to the family .arriage
for number of years and the coach
dog out TO his plantation to be kept un-
til the roads die up. Shortly after
that he bought pair of horses, which
he drove occasionally. but which were
iatendcd for the farm. One day the
dog visited the family residence and saw
the horses hitchei to the carriage, which
evidently caused grave suspicious to
rise in its mind. Without remaining as
long as usual it FASTENED back to the
farm, and the next morning returned
with the ponies. The driver firmly be-
lieves that the dog told the ponies that
they were about to lese their places
and they came to see about it.-N. o.

Antlers for Ornaments.

Where do you get such big deer
antlers as those?" said young man to
a black-eyed, curly-banged girl in q
taxidermist's store in Williams Street.
He referred to pile on the walk. The
girl dropped crow blackbird, which
she was flaying, and said:
s.Those deer horns grew on elks in
Montana. They are not very large if
compared with others"
The young man was directed to an
adjoining room. A red-mouthed polar
bear, with paws wide apart, greeted him
on one side rs he opened the door, and
q leopard, with arched back and
knotted muscles, seemed to snarl at him
on the other. Overhead, hanging from
a tangled mass of whitened horns, and
on every side of the room,
there was a throng of monkeys, squir-
rels, birds and animals Of q hundred
varieties, all in attitudes which looked
as if the old baboon in the corner, with
his fingers to his lips, had checked them
in the midst of a wild carCusal on the
entry of stranger.
Horns are Just now very fashion
able. Such things vary from year to
year. Last December we sold a hundred
pairs of antlers," said the girl.
"How much did you get a pair'"

He Kept His Word.

A few months ago young man who
had been in the employ of an express
company at a point in Wisconsin left
his position and home on account of
failing health, and went to Florida with
the hope of receiving benefit from the
change of climate. About week ago
he intended returning to his Northern
home in a short time, but thought be-
fore leaving the land Of flowers he would
send box of oranges to his relatives
and friends in Wisconsin. The oranges
were brought here from Florida by the
Adams Express Company, having been
franked through. From here to their
destination they were to be transported
by the American. The young man who
had shipped the oranges had written a
letter to the American explaining the
fact that the oranges had been shipped
over the Adams, and requesting the
American people when they arrived to
put frank which he inclosed in his
letter on the box, and forward that,
adding, in conclusion, II will be- pass
ing through Cincinnati on my way
home in a few days. and will call on
YOU" As the clerk in the American
Express office was reading the letter a
lot of transfer freight from the Adams
had been brought in, and be was asked
TO sign for it. As he signed he glanced
down over the way-bill TO see
what he was signing. his eyes
were suddenly almost glued to the
paper by seeing the name Of
The party whose letter he had just
been reading regarding the oranges.
The young man had kept his word,
and called at the Office as he was going
to bis home in Missouri. He. however,
neither recognized nor saluted any one,
for he was dead, and his body was en-
cased in coffin on its way home Tor
burial. Cincinnati Enqrircr.
