The great annual fair at Nishni Nov
gOrOd has now commenced. Anything
fair about Russia is pleasant to note;
but this is only because, unfortunately,
it is of such rare occurrence. We really
Moscow that length.
''The Imperial Mint of Russia is about
to issue gold coins of the value of one
pound, sterling, bearing the bust Of the
Gar In relief. Can this. after all, be
the only bust with which the Car is to
be associated? What a relief!
"A bOatswain named Moore has re-
ceived gold medal from the President
of the French republic for saving an APP
prentice of French vessel from drown
ing. The gift was appropriately accom-
panied by diploma. Considering that
the incident referred to took place so
long ago as December. 1881, the French
Government can scarcely be charged
with running counter to the prOverb,
More haste less speed.'"
GLOW Fortunate" murmured, "that
the bOatswain'S name was Moore. Had
it been Simmons, or LautenSchlager, or
Hemingway, even London funny paper
couldn't have gotten him into its col
umns."
Funny Folks contributed this;
IAN Interesting Item from Margate
(which am glad,' exclaimed Aunt
TOwser, AT that Margate Pier has got a
Speerit license at lass, as it's been trying
for no end of times. Pm sure it'll be
most acceptable news to them piers and
piereSes as perambulate up and down
that well-knOwn Moreen parade, inhal-
ing the OriZOne.'"
Then l picked up Judy-picked it up
JudyciOuSly, let me say, being in the
spirit of the thing. There were other
things in Judy, of course, but these
struck me as being rather the most
laughable:
Lets Soap S o-Cleanliness, we
know, is next to godliness, but why are
you. when you use too much soap, like
your horse when you ride him too fast?
Why, because, don't you see, you are
both in lather.
Mrs. j. hears on the very best au-
thOrity, that dresses next season will not
be worn so short as they are now. This
will be good news, indeed, for married
men of limited incomes if their wives
take to wearing their dresses longer.
LAS Drunk as Lord,-If this smile
be true. a lord must be high and dry"
means. But, perhaps, it is not neces-
sary that should. Ibelieve with other
scientific minds that there are things in
this world that we never will be able to
comprehend. We may try never so hard
to pry into the inscrutable, but the finite
and infinite must ever remain antipOdal.
This never occurred to me with such
stunning force as when l let the London
funny papers slip nervelessly out of my
lap and glanced up at the Judge, whose
eyes were slowly opening.
You have been reading them?' he
asked in an anxious tone.
Yes" l said, softly.
And while the gray London twilight
stole sadly into that upper room we ST.
lently mingled our tears, and then wash
ing our redeemed eyes, went out to sup
per at Gatti'S.
Men who have been brought up with
the humorous papers of Great Britain
tell me that it is an acquired taste-that
after time one gets accustomed to it.,
and. the English newspaper joke doesn't
have any effect upon him whatever.
This may be SO. l wouldn't undertake
to say it is not, for far, far stranger
things than were dreamt of in Horatio's
philosophy are daily coming to be uni
versally accepted.
