BEFORE THE BAR.

An experienced party thinks that whiskey
should be taken straight, or If you must
drink it with something, drink it with
alacrity.-Drake's Travellers Magazine.
1t is said that chewing gum makes the
mind more active and brighter That must
be why so many men say: ''Put little gum
in that, barkeeper "-Boston Post.
s'What will be the drink of the future7"
asks Mr. Moody. There will doubtless be
many drinks, among which whiskey will
loom up prominently. Traveller.
There was a man in Cohoes,
So the narrative goes,
Who'd been drinking so long
His breath was so strong
That a bottle would turn up his nose.
st Paul Herald.
A camel will work week without drink
ing. This is evidence enough that nature
never intended that desert drudge to be a
politician.-New York Journal. And a
politician can drink week without working.
This is evidence enough that nature never
intended a politician to be a beast Oh burden.
Boston Post.
A new German industry is the making Of
bricks Of cork. Now we can understand
why the drawing Of many corks will make
man tight as a brick Always thought there
was some scientific reason for that sad fact.
And these bricks, we suppose, will fit into a
wall as tight as corks. Thus all things are
made even, and bricks and corks are at last
as tight a. each other.-Burdette.

SQUARE

where the children roll their hoops and the
convergng paths bring the various streams
of humanity to center, sits George Francis
Train every day, unless it be an exceptional
one for cold or rain. He is usually reading a
newspaper-dressed in heavy brown ulster,
SLOUGH hat gloves, and enormous bouquet
of the prevailing flower. l counted seven
full-blown Marshal Neils on his coat lapel
one day. He has no outward appearance of
''being off, but his eye is restless, his talk
vehement, except in speaking to children E.
All the city's children know him, and he is
their patron saint on their ''park days"
Simply clad, without the least pretense,
Joseph Jefferson walks the streets unrecog-
nized by the greater mass of people who have
filed the theaters night after night and made
the ''welkin ring" with their enthusiasm over
Grip Van Winkle.' His slight physique is
little bent; his shortcut hair, beginning to
whiten around the temples, tells the one story
Of humanity,-viz., final decay.
