The Comma.

VIM. Kennedy, of the Pottsville
Chronicle stigmatizes tho comma as
the scimetar with which the com.
positor pierces the heart of the aspir-
ing journalist, and says: "There is
more unconscious humor TO the
square inch in the comma box than
in all the remainder of the printers
case" and instances the mention in
a contemporary Of the purchase by a
liyeryman of "a horse suitable for q
lady with long TAIL" and aSouthern
newspaper that announced the cree
ton OF beautiful monument over

The lower animals 60 not unarmed
The sword of tho sword fish. tho sting of
tho wasp, the venom Of the snake. the
ink bag of the cutie fish, tho power OF
the electric eel, and hundreds Of other
devices, equip the lower orders with
weapons offensive and defensive. The
way in which q hedgehog kills a serpent
is described in tho following incident:
Tho hedgehog cautiously approached
the sleeping reptile and seized tho end OF
its tail between his teeth and gavo sharp
bite. Then he quickly rolled himself into
a compact, spiny bull. and awaited do
velopments.
Tho snake, thus rudely awakened. was
at once belligerent 1t turned upon Its
enemy and fought with its fangs.
Tho hedgehog, securely iptrcnched
within his spincs, retained his hold of
tho tail and allowed himself to be
dragged back and forth during the strug-
gle. Meantime the serpent's jaws were
becoming decorated and useless from
constant assault upon its enemy's needle
pointed carapacc.
Exhausted and bleeding from its many
wounds, the snake finally ceased its ef-
forts. This was what the hedgehog had
waited for. lie unrolled himself, disem-
boweled the unlucky snake and proceeded
to cat his breakfast, apparently none the
worse for the encounter which had cost
his antagonist so dearly.
The hedgehog might have said: 81
didn't kill the snake; but If 1t was so
foolish as to kill itself on my spines,
why it must take tho consequences. and

Americans, accustomed to see tomatoes
in some shape ON the table nearly every
day of tho year, will scarcely appreciate
how nearly that familiar vegetable comes
to being rare delicacy in England.
Ten years ago 1t was an exception TO find
this delightful fruit on tho tables of any
but the wealthy; but today they arc to
DO found in most houses during the sea-
son, their extensive cultivation having
brought down tho price so as to mako
them come within the reach of all. The
tomato, or love apple, as it was formerly
called, originally camo from South
America, but it was not until the climate
of tho United States was found to DO
cminently adapted to their growth that
they came into general use, tho taste for
tho same spreading to Europe.
1t is, in addition to its valuable ny
gienic qualities, one of the most profit
able fruits to cultivate, and we know of
one private gentleman who sends no less
than one ton to market daily in tho carly
season, tho price paid for tho same aver

Speaking Of the toll gate near tho
'pool, which was tho laston tho old Bos-
ton and Albany line to be torn down, re-
calls to memory an amusing incident
which old DIR. Shaw, its keeper, used to
relate.
Shaw used 10 travel with an old ven
triloquist by the name Of Potter some
years before no began to tend the gate,
and he was pretty clover magician, the
doctor was, so the two hitched up well
together.
Well, the story goes that Potter and
Shaw were riding in 'Reub' Underwood's
coach over tho Monson and Southbridge
line, and the vehicle was crowded with
passengers who considered themselves
pretty high toned folks, and guess they
really were.
At any rate when the stage arrived
u. Southbridge they all got out and went
into the tavern there to get dinner. The
party sat down ut the table and Potter,
the ventriloquist, who was a stranger to
all excepting Shaw, came in after taking
sip of ''roddy" and sat down also at the
same table. A roast pig was brought in
on platter by the servant and set upon
the table, and just after one member of
tho party had finished saying grace and
began carving the pig, it squealed ter
rilically, and the majority of the mem
bers of tho party not knowing that
Potter was ventriloquist, as j said,
thought for moment that the pig was
alive, and after screeching and scream
ing, the carver simultaneously throwing
his knife and fork across the dining
room, got up and left the table, leaving
Potter and Shaw to finish the pig
