Curious Sum In Arithmatic.

some days ago the manager Of a panor.
anna in this city sent some 'scholars'
tickets" to the principals of the grammar
schools, on presentation Of which the
pupils would be admitted for twenty five
cents each. instead Of fifty cents. the
usual price.
II explained the nature Of this offer 10
the boys, says a principal. land one Of
them q regret to say he was pupil Of an
upper gradel having grasped the idea
that the possession Of u ticket reduced
the price Of admission one half, pro.
pounded the following astonishing query;
Please sir, II had two Of these tickets
could get In for nothing3'
That the pupil did not intend to make
joke was proved by his anger at the
general laughter which his stupid ques.
tion provoke ed. New York Herald.

Origin OF "Give Him Jessy.n

When two American boys are fighting
together and Il crowd is watching the
mill, spectator will often encourage ono
of the contestants by crying "Give him
Jessy" In my own boyhood the express
sion was too familiar to seem worthy of
note. Hearing it after many years, it
seemed subject fit for inquiry. 1t ap-
pears certain that this phrase is q rem.
nant of the days when tho language Of
falconry was as familiar among the youths
as that of horse racing now is. The Jess
was thong by which the bird was at
tached to the wrist, and when it retrieved
badly it appears to have been the custom
to punish it by the application of the
thong. 1t is not unlikely that this con-.
vonient bit of leather may also have been
used from time to time in arguments with
boys. Journal of American Folk Lore.

BATHING SUITS.

Although the fashion plates do not
show 1t very clearly, yet there are two
reforms slowly working and one is in
the diminution Of the absurd dimensions
Of the hustle, and the other is in the
shortening of the waists Of dresses to
more natural proportion. The rage for
long, slim waists has had its day, and the
pretty short wasted directoire styles are
being worn very much, particularly for
young ladies' home costumes. The waist
10 abort and loose, and the skirt hangs in
long, loose folds, and on graceful figure
nothing could be more attractive; but to
look well In them the wearer should be
slow of movement.
Many young ladies are making what
they call picture dresses" and they are
very pretty when well chosen with view
to the wearer's peculiarities. But these
gowns SHOULD have no modern innova-
tions. One young lady was promenading
ths street yesterday In dress made Of
cream colored null, bountifully embroi.
dered In soft colors, mostly greens,
around the bottom. She wore corsage
Of moss green plush, pointed in front
and back, and laced up With silk
cord. The upper parts Of the sleevas were
Of puded null, and the lower part plush.
