OLD NURSERY TALES.
Tho Antiquity OF the Fairy Stories Told to
Our Children.

"Little Red Riding-hood," being gem
orally supposed to be the story of the
Dawn, or Of the spring, first swallowed
and then rescued from the jaws of Night,
or Winter, is to be met with in the my
thology of the Greeks, the old Aus
tralians and the Scandinavians.
"Blue Beard is we'll travelled viii

Persia, Germany, Italy. Scandinavia
and elsewhere, wearing successfully
the garb of each of his adopted homes.
This story is curiously interviewer with
the myths of Psyche. Semele, Pandora.
and other examples Of woman's Curl
osity; so that there seems no reason
why we should not actually look for
the beginnings of "Blue Beard" in the
Garden of Eden itself.

of these places the story, owing to an
episode in which the hero is punished

the orthodox canons, he is left smiling

SPICY DEFINITIONS.
Witty Remarks whicI, Are Short Enough
to be Humorous.

Witty Remarks Which Are Short Enough
to be Humorous.
A smart, pithy or humorous defini-
tion often furnishes happy illustration
of the proverbial brevity which is the
soul of wit. Here are Il few apt ones
that are evidently spontaneous:
a boy once said that ''dust is mud
with the juice squeezed out"
A fan, we learn from another Juvenile
sourcc, is "a thing to brush warmth of
with" and monkey "a small boy
with tails" salt, ''what makes your
potatoes taste bad when you don't put
any on" and ice, ''water chat stayed
out late in the cold and went to sleep"
A school boy asked to define the
word sob whimpered out: "It means
when y feller don't mean to cry and it
bursts out itself"
A youngstcr was asked to give his
idea of 1.-THE meaning of responsibility" P"
so he said: "Well, supposing l had
only two buttons on my trousers and
one came off all the responsibility
would rest on the other button"

Che smartest lawyer is to satirize
many of our ''intelligent fellow-coun-
trymcn.'
The word suspicion" is. in the
opinion of jealous husband. "a feel.
ing that compels you to try to find out
something which you don't wish to
know"
A good definition of "Pharisee" is
"a tradesman who uses long prayer:
and short weights" of a humbug. zone
who agrees with everybody" and Of
q tyrant, "the other version of some.
body's hero"
A lady's idea of ballet girl was
',ln open muslin umbrella with two
pink handles" and Parisian's OF
chess, "a humane substitute for hard
labor"
Thin soup, according to an Irish
mendicant, is "a quart of water boiled
down to pint, to make it strong"
Of definitions of bachelor: "un.
altared man," "a singular being"
and IA target for MISS" are apt
enough.
