 Norristown angler bought a new book entitled "Fly Rods and Fly Tackle and ab- sorbed the contents from preface to fnis. Then he went out fishing with $50 worth of tackle and came home with fifty cents worth of fish purchased from barefooted boy with ten-c cent fishing rod and 8 sore finger Norristown Herald.
 ''By thunder, if that girl don't bring my breakfast pretty soon, I'll give her piece of my mind, 1" growled an irate boarder seIt will be the worse for you if you do,n said quiet boarder on the other side of the table ''Id like to know why?' 'sFor the simple reason that if you give her piece of it there won't be enough left for sample.'
 Those who have not seen an amateur gar dener go to work have missed one of the most interesting visions in this life. In the first place he goes out determined to plant it all before dinner. When night comes he has planted two rows of peas and three hills of corn. The next morning he concludes that he will wait and see how they come along before doing any more. He may wait quietly for two days, but the chances are ten to one that the next morning he will dig up one of the hills of corn to see if it has begun to sprout. He will perform this operation every morning for two weeks and at the end E of that time seeing no evidence of growth will conclude to lay a plank walk over the place so that the broken ground will not be muddy.-Boston Post.
 He called me Popsey, Sweet and Pet,
 When we began married life,

 For now he calls me, Say there, youl

Once on a time an old red hen Went strutting round with pompous clucks, For she had little babies ten, A part of which were tiny ducks. s''Tis very rare that hens, said she, Have baby ducks as well as chicks But possess, as you can see, Of chickens four and ducklings six!'' season later this old hen Appeared, still cackling of her luck, For though she boasted babies ten. Not one among them was duckl "'Tis well, she murmured, breeding o'er The little chicks of fieecy down My babies now will stay ashore, And, consequently, cannot drown" The following spring the old red hen Clucked just as proudly as of yore- But lol her babes were ducklings ten, Instead of chickens, as heforel '''Tis better,'' said the old red hen As she surveyed her waddling brood; "A little water now and then Will surely do my darlings goodl'' But oh, alas, how very sadl When gentle spring rolled round again The eggs eventuated bad, And childless was the old red henl Yet patiently she bore her woe And still she wore cheerful air, And said: Iris best these things are so, For babies are dreadful care!'' I half suspect that many men, And many, many women, too, Could learn lesson from the hen With foliage of vermillion hue; She ne'er presumed to take offense At any fate that might befall, But meekly bowed to Providence She was contented-that was all

"What is Christiana" asks Chicago edi- tor. Such ignorance could occur in no other city.-Boston Post.
 The Marion (S. C.) Star says: "A Spartan burg woman is so cleanly that she uses two rolling -pins-one for the pastry and the other for her husbands head"

 Keep pour silver dollars. They are worth only about ninety cents now, but who knows what they may be worth 200 years hence. A silver dollar of 1904 recently sold for $575.- Newark Call.
 The vacation season is coming on apace, and the usual large orders for canned goods are being filled for the proprietors of sum nner resorts, where fresh fruits and vegeta- bles right out of the orchard and garden are the chief attractions.-Bostcn Tran script.

best probable means of inducing the deter mined dame to evacuate the field. The Par is Figaro is foremost with: "Cut off the supplies'-''Smoke her out'-''Play Wag ners Niebelungen music under her window" etc. If none of these things should move her there would remain the stratagem of pulling down the walls and making the prfs- on leave her. But Louise is of such a reso- lute turn of mind that it is doubtful if, even then, she would not, like Marius among the ruins of Carthage, stick to the debris and salute her wou1d-be liberators with Marshal MacMahon's motto, "J'y suis, j'y reste."
 The exhibition at South Kensingt on-this time with inventions and music-was opened by the Prince and the Princess of Wales. Of course the place is in 8 semi-chaotic condl- tion and will be scarcely enjoyable to visit for several weeks to come, but their good natured and indefatigable royal highnesses walked about among the ladders and packing cases with a serenity truly admirable, appear ing very pleased with what they could see. Why are these affairs always announced for day which is about month earlier than they can possibly be got ready by wonder? All doubt as to such place being wanted for Londoners must by this time have van ished. The huge success of the Fisheries and the Healtheries astonished even the most sanguine. Provide the English with such gardens and music as they have had at South Kensington for two years past, and you will be convinced, as you look at them thronglng in at the gate all day long, that they will come out of their shells quite readily as the French if you only make it worth their while.
 The influence of surroundings upon people of artistic temperaments is often very great, as we know from cases like that of Wagner,
 who used to dress in gorgeously colored sat in costumes when he was composing. A re- cent number of Le Livre contains an article
 by M Jules Claretie the French journalist,
 novelist and dramatist, telling us something
 of hi5 literary habits and methods of work
 ing. When he is writing novel he finds that his work progresses fastest and best it it is written on green paper. For his news
 paper articles he uses slips of the ordinary
 note paper size; for his plays he prefers large sheets of white paper. Everybody knows that Balzac could not get en with his novels unless he had on his monastic cassock. Hen " Munger could not work on the first two days of the month. So on the first and sec- ond day of each month he lived like prince, spending two hundred francs a day. From the 3d to the 30th he worked in garret and spent five francs. So exact were his reckon ings that, when the month happened to have
 thirty-one days, the dear Bohemian had to borrow an extra five francs to finish the month with. MAX ORELL.

VICTOR HUGO.

Victor Hugo died yesterday, full of years and honors. He had a wonderfully success fu1 life. He did not have to strive long for recognition, and has had the ardent worship and support of band of disciples such as no other literary man in these days has at tracted to himself. He has had notable tri umphs in many departments of literary work, especially in the romance, the drama and the poem. He has been honored by the govern ment of his country as well as by it's people. He has shown himself possessed of genius and also of great heart. He was a vain man, but he was praised and hattered more than most men are, and his vanity was of 8 genial character. His old age was made pleasant by the respect and affection of the people among whom he lived, and he had to the last more friends who were proud and happy to be called his friends than fall to the lot of most great men. What his literary rank will finally be it is impossible to tell, but he has had tremendous literary in fuence. He did not, we believe, hesitate to rank himself with Goethe, Dante, Shakes peare and others of the highest class, but it may fairly be doubted if this estimate was 8 just one. He will have a memorable fun eral

The Cost of Our Streets.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 An inquiry lately made by one of the mem bers of the Board of Public Works as to the cost of the stone crusher is a movement in the right direction. Any person who has examined into the expenses of the street de- partment must of necessity ask the ques- ton, Why is it that our streets cost so much? Let any person look at the finishing of a Telford pavement, at the tons of fine stone carted upon such pavement, which is called top dressing, all of which is placed upon the street with much care and science.
 Look again at the same street in 6 few weeks. What do you sees With a steel or iron scraper, body of men carefully scrap ing the top-dressing off the road which has cost the town so much to put on there. This top-dressing is then carted away by another lot of men. No mechanic or intelligent per son can watch this process without arriving at the conclusion that one of two things should be done-abolish the Telford pave ments, or use broons to sweep them.

A CQnpIRfnt.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 It appears to me that fer ways that are stupid and tricks that are worn the Western Union Telegraph company stands pre-emi- nently at the head of the list. Yesterday after noon about o'clock the postman left me a card from said company requesting me to call at their office for a message that they could not deliver because of misdirection- I at once drove down to their office and pre- ssnted the card. Ireceived a repeated and paid message which had been received and held by them over twenty-four hours before they sent me the card requesting me to come and get it. All the trouble with the direction was the number was wrong. The name and the street were right. The only inference can draw is that either they have no direc- tory or they are too stupid to make a proper use of it. Had they sent the message through the postofice even it would have enabled me to attend the funeral of one of my nearest and best friends.
