QUEER ANSWERS.

Ambiguous Remarks Made by Person.
Who Failed to Weigh Their Words.
There is something that is fresh and
invigorating in piquant and unex-
pected answer which is like dash of
salt spray on the face, it half takes away
the breath while it arouses an active
vitality by the sensation it creates. To
this class belongs the answer of the
bashful young minister who was invited
to stay and dine at the house of a
wealthy parishioner upon whom he
was calling. The host, after the fash
ion of the day, apologized for the din
ner and said had they expected COM
pany it would have been better.
"Really, sir" replied the young man,
II am very thankful, for what have
had, as did not expect to get my din
ner here"
A young woman who had been visit
ing relatives was treated with the great

her friends ventured to hope that she
had enjoyed herself.

Something About the Best Nut Produced

Something About the Best Nut Produced
by the North American Forests.
Popular Science Montbly.l
1t is a favorite pasgime of our country
population during the long winter even
ings to gather round the fire and crack
and eat hickory-nuts. 1t is an amusement,
too, peculiarly American, and for the SIM
pie reason that in this country alone are
the nuts to be had in any abundance. Per-
haps, where almonds or English walnuts
are equally common, cracking hickory
nuts is superseded by a resort to these
other fruits. They, however, are much
easier to open than the hickory nut, and
with thinner shells are readily cracked at
the table But in America, in those dis
tricts where the peanut does not take the
place of other nuts the cracking of the
hickory still continues. Whether it
be the pecan of Texas and Illinois, Or the
shell-bark or mocker-nut of the Central or
Eastern States, the amusement is the
same. They are the best nuts the forests
of North America produce, and some of
them are thought to be superior in flavor
to the much esteemed English walnut.
Year after year have hundreds and thou
sands of bushels of the she'll barks, the
hickory nuts par ercellence been gathered
these, few can have failed to notice the
many differences they present. Some are
small and nearly round; some are long,
narrow and angular; some have thick
shells, and some thin ones, as any one who
has cracked his fingers along with the she'll
can bear witness
According to evolutionary doctrines,
variability in an important feature is an
indication either of low tate of develop
ment or that the organism is in state of
advancement. Various facts show the lat
Ger to be the case with the shell-bark hick-
Dry The first stages of the onward march
must be sought far back in prehistoric
times, for it boasts an ancient if not an
honorod lineage. Before the hairy mann
moth roamed the forests of the Ohio val
ley; before the soil of Louisiana was yet
above the oceans waters; before the Ohio
had become tributary to the mighty Mis-
sissippi; before even the Rocky mountain
range had been elevated above the waste
of waters, tho ancestors of this hickory
f1ourished in the land.
