Ditto.

Jack Handy learned the word ditto at
school one day, and recited the definition
three times, in chorus with the others; Ditto,
the same; ditto, the same; ditto, the same. v
Then the teacher told the class that she should
expect sentence from each one on the next
day, In which the new word should be intro
duced correctly
Jack toiled fora long time over his sentence
that evening, and just before going to bed he
showed his paper TO the family with gres
pride, as they all sat around the sitting room

HAPPY ORPHANS.

A hundred little chicks or more,
Downy, soft and yellow,
Were peeping out their discomfort
In voices far from mellow,
Hooked around in wonderment-
No mothers were at hand
To gather meath their outstretched wings
The doeful little band
And as gazed a small, wee voice
From one chick seemed to say:
Perhaps you think we like It,
This fine, new tangled way;
But it's very disagreeable,
For, strange as it may seem,
We never had a mother
They Matched US out by steam
And they call us happy orphans
When we are ready all to weep,
For no answering cluck comes back to us,
Though we peep and peep and peep.
They say it's scientific,
And I've no doubt it is true,
But would rather have a mother
Now. really wouldn't your"

Ladies' ut Cards.

Ladies will play cards. l wonder
really, if they mean to cheat. dom
think they do. l think they have an ides
that it is wrong and wicked and unprinci
pied to play cards, and that there can't be
anything wrong in gettirg the best of their
opponents. It would not do for a woman
to plsy cards with experts for money. She
is apt TO forget ct times the necessity fol-
keeping her hand to herself You'll sc her
take up her cards and count with her fic-
ger the number OF each suit she has; she II
lay her hand down face up to take
ont her handkerchief or fix her
bang or arrange her back hair, and then
she'll pick the cards up aud hold them
close to her nose SO that nobody can see
when they've been exposed in her lap OF
on the table for minute. They quite
often make mistakes that are of no use tc
them. There was quiet family whist
party uptown. There were two ladies and
two gentlemen, and each gentleman had q
lady for partner. They had played nine
tricks, and on the tenth one of the ladies
who mad to play stopped and looked dow n
all over the floor, got up and shook hel
dress. "Well, where is my ace of trumps?'
The other lady hsd it and was just going
to plsy it. 1t turned out she had tOuI
cards in her hand, and the ace having been
turned up she had absorbed it. Bat the
one who turned it up never noticed that 1t
had gone until they were nearly all out.

whose enlightened aud progressive
policy did more in twenty years OF
authority to advance the country
than had been done In the fifty years
preceding, the party Of national ideas.
national progress and national honor
This party. coming again into an
thofisy. finds the business machinery
of the government badly denoralized,
il finds It's credit and dignity abroad
badIy damaged through neglect and
ineapacity, 1t finds q foreign nation
preparing TAT the Isshmusl TO violate

Upon the whole. President Harrison
enters upon bis duties under circum-
STAGES highly favorable for successful

legislative branch Of the government
