She was Gay Once.

Mr.. William II. Crane, the come
dian, tells story which he says was
given him by Mr.. Edwin Booth,
according to Eugene Field. 1t seems
that an old lady 80 years of age,
lying at the point of death, sent for
her clergyman and awaited herself OF
the spiritual consolation that holy
man was qualified to administer.
This important office having been
discharged, the moribund octogena-
rian fell to discoursing about the
manner in which she wished to have
her obsequies conducted, and she
should be so attired as to present a
pleasing appearance.
"Tell me, SIR" she asked, feebly,
''what kind of cotfins are now the
fashion for ladies?"
"There are two styles, my dear
sister," answered the pastor, sooth-
ingly. "The coffins for married
women are lined with red silk, and
coffins for maiden ladies are lined
with white satin"
Well, then" said the old lady with
a sigh, 81 suppose you'd have to
line my coffin with white satin, "and
in a moment she added brighten
ing up, "but you can put in some
strips of scarlet plush, was pretty
gay when l was girlP-Boston

A Tell.Tale Graphophone.
Electrical Review.

Electrical Review
Private Secretary Pearson OF Gov.
Beavers office, Harrisburg, Pa, had
a curious and somewhat startling
experience with the graphophone.
He began to turn the crank, and
supposed that he was about tocause
the machine to give out to the young
lady typewriter a message which the
governor had talked into it the evei1-
ing previous. The young lady was
ali attention, and the private secre-
tary began so.emnly to turn the
crank, which works by treadle. To
his horror and the intense embar-
rassment of the young lady, the fol,
lowing amorous tumble was given
out with decided emphasis;
Nov, don't George.
There; somebody will come. %
course, love you. There; somebody
really is coming, and you have mus
sed my hair all up. Please
love, Pm so afraid that someone viii
come in, and, besides, l can't work
this crank if you insist on kissing me
all the time"
It was some little while before the
matter could be satisfactorily ex
| planned either by the young lady o.
MIR. Pearson, who at first were dis
posed to imagine that somebody hao
been playing a practical joke upor
them. The matter was final.
Strengthened out, however, when tn
executive clerk came around, and
upon hearing of the incident, laughed
heartily. He had on the evening be
| fore been showing a bride and groom
about the executive department. and
being called away a few minutes, hat
left them in the private secretary
room to amuse themselves with tn
graphophone while he attended t
the business which had called hin
away.

Ready in Answer.

"Camp.meeting' John Allen was
always ready with retort for friend
or foe, sometimes scathing, and al
WAYS humorous. After his CONVEX
sion, he met an old minister, who
Piled him with very seaching ques-
tons as to the genuineness of his ex-
perience, and the young man COM
blamed of the severity of this cate
chism.
"If the tree he well rooted" said
the minister. sit will not be harmed
if we shake it. )"
"But," said the convert, 'the Mas
ter said to His disciples, Feed my
lambs not Go and shake them"
At another time. when Mr.. Allen
was about to begin his sermon in a
new place, O former pastor said to
him, care you a long preacher"
give feet seven inches," was the
immediate reply.
At meeting administers, a Baptis
was invited to give his views on the
subject of Methodist economy, and
Mt once rose, saying that, although
there were many excellent things in
Methodism, it seemed to him to have
too much machinery.
Mr.. Allen was on his feet in O mo-
ment.
"The Methodist church may have
more machinery than the Baptist,
he replied, "but it doesn't require as
much water to run it.
When the question OF prohibition
was under general discussion, red
faced topper one day said to Mr.. Allen
81 shall vote against you on this
question" ;.
"Yourface voted before you spoke"
was the quick reply. .
| A lawyer of opposite politics sale
to him, about the same time, "Mr
Allen, on which side are you going te
vote? for shall vote against you.
"On the right side" was the ans
wer. (Which side is yours?"
One morning at a Meth0distcamp
meeting young man arose, AM
said, pompously, II do not believei il
singing oh, to be nothing. ! pro
pose to be something, and l wan
people to know it."
Brother Allen instantly rose, ant
repeated the verses:

thing, when he is nothing, ne deceivet.
himself. But let every man prove nj
own work, and then shall he have re
: ioicing in himself alone, and notin ar
other"
The question of ambition was no
: discussed further that day.

Too Many Partners:

Col. Grower tells a story of how
one night he was going from Athens
to Augusta with Col. Pope Barrow,
and Harry Hill, one of the best
known conductors in Georgia, was
on the road. When Hill went to set
down his lantern its beams fell on
the face of O. fellow under the seat.
The fellow at once crawled out and
said: "Well, boss, l acknowledge
the corn; / was trying to beat my
way; You have to put me off"
Col. Barrow and a few Others de-
cided to pay his fare as reward Tor
his cheek and sangfroid.
On the next round Hill happened
to set his lantern down near the
same spot, when he found another
fellow, who crawled out and said:
'sWell, you have me, too. l am the
other mans partner"
Again the hat went around, and
the boys clipped in to pay his fare.
At this three other fellows that
had been hid, and thought that a
general collection was in order, came
from their hiding places. This was
too much for good nature. Every
body laughed, while he made three
of the miscreants skip.-Brunswick

The Dimensions OF Heaven.

Capt. J. B. Starkey, measurer OF
vessels in the surveyors Office, Bos-
ton custom house, has made the fol-
towing calculation as to the dimen-
sions of Heaven: "And he measured

Canada and the United States.

From the Engineering News.
The population of the United
States as whole increased, with
marvellous exactituGe, q shade I'M
der IS per cent (34.6D per decade
between 1870 and 1860. The civil
war caused d sharp falling off. Had
the rate of the preceding decade been
maintained, the population in 1870
would have been AZ, $50, 900 instead
of 81. 55S, 900 a loss of 4,072, 900.
In 1S70-SO there was recovery to
nearly the former rate of decennial
growth, and we are disposed to be-
lieve that the census of 1890 will
show still further increase, ii not
an even heavier percentage ofgrowth
than has ever before occurred. A
multitude of faets point in that di-
rection.
1t is at least quite certain that the
Far West, beyond the Mississippi
river, will show an enormous rate OF
growth in 1890, perhaps even larger
than the great increase of the last
two decades (60.6 and 6f.S per
cent?. 1t is to be remembered, OF
course, that all the earlier percent
ages, when population was very
small to start with, are quite abnor-
mally large, and are never maintain.
ed after the population has reached
a reasonably large figure. When the
population is only 1, u single other
settler causes 100 per cent increase.
Canada shows from 1906 to 1851
an average rate of increase in popu-
lation of no less than 1851 per cent
per decade. 1t is altogether proba-
Bile that a part of this heavy ratio is
deceptive and due to errors OF Omis-
sion in the earlier censuses, but 1T
would require a population in 1906
of $50; 600 Instead of the 456,B9e
actually reported, to bring the ratio
of increase down to that OF the Uni
ted States, 35 per cent. and it is
therefore probable that up to 1851
the percentage of increase of popula-
ton in Canada was even greater than
in the United States. Since 1851 a
sharp change has taken place, due
| to emigration of Canadians to the
United States. The 1880 census
showed 717,157 natives of British
America born in the United States
and including those born in the Uni.

population since 1851 to have beer
at the same rate as that OF the Uni,
ted States land Canada has. been re-
ceiving many immigrantsl it &C
counts for almost exactly this loss
At that rate the population in 1881
should have been 1903, 600 instead
of 1924, 800, a difference of 1.1S3,,
800, or 21A per cent; in other words
more than one-fifth of Canadian ma
tives find it advantageous to emf
crate to the United States.

finding it left on her hands she took
it all herself for sore throat, colds,
gastric trouble, and whatever all

The same woman once told two
visitors whom she had invited to
tea, that she had been in good
deal of trouble that day to calculate
upon just how many biscuits to make
for the meal, She always knew
about her own family; she ALLOWED
one apiece, and an extra one in case
of being extra hungry" but where
two new persons were concerned
whose appetites and habits were IN

a state of mind that she was fairly

with keen eyes to see what was to be

HOW JOHNNY ESCAPED.

Tho Playful Franks of a Boy Who Had a
 Penchant for Reptiles.
 It is universally admitted that the small boy who has penchant for bugs, and insects, and reptiles is the worst variety of boy. There is one of this sort in Atlanta who is an orna- ment to his particular order of small boy. He spends his afternoons and all of his spare time, of which he seems to have a good supply, in foraging in the country for bugs and lizards. Every morning he takes in his pockets 3o school the results of his last raid. Monday the specimens of his insectiferous and reptilian life that he can fish up from the depths of his trousers pockets are many and varied and awful to touch and look at. Last week the teacher took an inventory of tke bugs and beasts found in his pock- cts, or that escaped therefrom and ter rifed the other children-and the teacher. There were several varieties of beetles, pigeons with broken wings, English sparrows. butterflies, devil horses, slugs. snails, earthworms, liz ards, Q snake or two, and an occa- sional frog, damp and cold. One day he slyly opened the flap of his pocket, and then went on in his hard. reso- lute effort to make his teacher believe he was studying. After awhile the teacher noticed a grasshopper hopping agilely from desk to desk amid the litter and a tee-hea of the scholars. 4 chase was begun, when another grass hopper was seen, then another, and they were everywhere hopping all over the room and sticking their sharp feet into the little girls hair, fright ening them half to death. "Ccme here" shouted the teacher to the ten der lover of insects. a5 she reached for ferrule. "Give me your hand, sir" :" The naturalist held our his hand as il he was martyr to science. The teach CT was about to seize it when she caught sight of two green eyes that flashed at her from the boy hand and a sharp forked tongue that seemed to dart into her face The boy had g snake coiled around his arm. Re was not ferru,cd and the teacher has not felt well since. Journal.
