The Small Boy of MeIrose.

A small boy in bright Melrose fami-
ly wanted something of his mother the
other day when she was very busy
writing. She was absorbed in her work
and did not look up at his repeated
Mamma. mamma" beside her elbow.
''Well," said he at last, flinging away
from her side in a pet, ''it's no use to
try to make my mamma hear when she
is writing; she's just too ignominious of
everything"
1t was the same boy who was given
permission by the hostess at a grown
up party, where he was asked, because
the families were intimate, to eat
whole mold of strawberry ice-cream that
was left after all the guests had been
served. He sighed as soon as he had
said. No, thank you," and presently
contided to small daughter of the
house: ''It's dreadful to grow up, and
/ know I'm doing it. Why last year l
could have eaten all that ice-cream as
easy as could be, and now | can't eat

Extraordinary Nc .iical Skill.

One stormy night, when the roads
were well-nigh impossible, son of
Erin came into doctors office and de-
sired the dispenser OF physic to go TO see
a friend who was list a-dyin'." He
would not take no for an answer; so.
putting the saddle-bags upon his horse,
the physician started out upon his jour
ney. As soon as he saw the sick man
he knew it was nearly over with him,
and remarked to the courier:
Peter. you told the truth; your friend
is just at the point of death"
Cant We do ainytheeng for heemP"
replied Peter.
No; it Is too late"
But, docthor, aint ye goin' to give
heem anything at all at all?'
lit will do no good"
But, docthor, We have come so far, ii
would be too bad to 20 back without
doin' anything"
For the peace of Peters mind, the
doctor now took a small quantity of
sugar from a phial, and placed ii upon
the dying mans tongue just as he was
drawing his last breath.
Peter seeing his friends head drop
back, looked up at thedoctor with big
eyes. and said, half in q whisper, 'sOh,

Another One on the Stationary Tubs.


An old lady was con versing with two
girls IN an intelligence office the other
day, one of them evidently recent ar
rival. Her companion, who appeared
TO have been longer in the country, was
giving her points by which to ask ques-
tons. Have you set tubs?n asked the
verdant specimen of an older civiliza-
ton. The old lady smiled as this stero-
typed inquiry was put, and answered
the question with another by asking,
'How long have you been in this coun-
uy?' Three months" was the reply.
"Oh, them remarked the lady, You
will hardly miss them. for we have none
in our house But answered the ap-
plicant for place. I'VE don't have the
washes at home that YOU do here" Sc

lady.-Bos.0n Budget.

How a Soldier Ran Away to Sea.

One hundred and nine years ago, in
the month of February, 1777, a young
French guardsman ran away to sea.
And most singular running away it
was. lie did not wish to be sailor,
but he was so anxious to 90 that he
bought ship to run away in,-for he
though he was only nineteen, he held
commission as major-general in the
armies of land three thousand miles
away-a land he had never seen and
the language of which he could not
speak. The King of France command
cd him to remain at home; his friends
and relatives tried to restrain him; and
even the representatives., or agents, of
the country in defense OF which he de-
sired 10 fight would not encourage his
purpose. Aud when the young man,
while dining at the house OF the British
Ambassador TO France, openly avowed
his sympathy with a downtrodden
people, and his determination to help
them gain their freedom, the Ambass-
ador acted quickly. At his request, the
rash young enthusiast was arrested by
the French Government, and orders
were given to seize his ship, which was
awaiting him at Bordeaux. But ship
and owner. both slipped away, and,
sailing from the port of Pasajes IN Spain,
the runaway, with eleven chosen COM
panionS, was soon on the sea, bound
for America, and beyond the reach CT
both friends and foes.
On April %. 1777, ne landed at the
little port of Georgetown, at the mouth
of the Great Pee Dee river in South
Carolina; and from that day forward

Fayette, has held a place in the history

Episcopal duty in some parts of Aus
tralia has its humorous side" says the
Ballarat Courier. lone prelate on his
first journey round was flung into deep
mud from his horse. Rising ruefully
with his chaplain's help, and surveying
the place the Bishop consoled himself
with the reflection, i have left deep
impression in that part of the diocese at
any rate.
When the enterprising small hoodlum
says, ''Give me flower" and is re-
warded by the benevolent passer-by
with fragrant blossom, he does not
carefully preserve his gift with an ap-
probation of its refining influence in
his humble home. He runs to the next
street, holds up his trophy, and calls
out to the next passer-by, Want a

All of the men who went on strike
didn't suffer. Some of the strikers famil-
les seemed to feed well and dress well
all the time Some of the strikers al
ways appear to wear good clothes and
smoke good cigars as long as the strike
lasts and have money to go on after it
is over. Not all, but some of 'em do.
This is the funny thing about strike.
Now, the workingman would be wise if
he would investigate this joke and as
certain why it is that some man. and
usually the same man, always seems TO
fare better and dress better while the
strike is on There's lots of fun in a
strike, for some of the fellows, but there
doesn't seem to be fun enough to 90
round. The more workingmen examine
this joke the less they will laugh at it

Put This in Your Pipe and Smoke 1t.

-Four men out of five smoke" said
cigar dealer, land about three out of
the four smoke cigars of one kind or an
other. But not one man in twenty
knows anything about cigars. The
nineteen couldn't tell good cigar from
Il poor one. Even the people who pay
pretty good prices for their cigars do SO
because they are proud. They judge
cigars by their cost. Not many smok-
ers know that cigar worth fifteen cents
one day may not be worth a nickel the
next day. Taking care of cigars is an
art. 1t is impossible to buy good
cigar in q drug store or other shops
where the goods are displayed in
how case, with the lids of the boxes
open. Good cigars spoil quickly if ex-
posed to dry air. They should always
be kept in close slightly moist, zinc
boxes A man will buy a box of cigars
and pay s., SO. 80, OF perhaps Sl2 a
hundred for them. He takes his box
home, puts it up on Il shelf in his bed
room, or in hot, dry closet, which is
next to a chimney. AS like as not he
leaves the lid of the box off or imper-
fectly closed. Next morning his box Of
cigars is worth about 50. The flavor is
gone. They are dry and burn hot and
fast. If the mans pride in his own

stroy his taste he comes back and makes
a big kick and swears that we have
palmed off on him an article much in

other thing which smokers of good inn
