and enjoyed it hugely. They bought

It was not long before they met a po-

going with that pole. "Oh. that's our
business" the students replied, and
started OH. OF course the policeman
arrested them, and when he had landed

Tic ..Ta,nc Cat, Girl.

The reproach aimed by the Ameri-
cans at the English girl, viz, that she
is of the tame cat" order and that her
husband will trust her with his bills or
the darning of his socks, but not with
his ideas, is as great IL m~isconception,
i'll many respects, as the English esti-
mate of American women, but 'front.' the
the American point of view it has some
foundation in fact. We need only look
at the life of the ordinary Englishman
to discover the foundation upon which
this exaggerated inference is based. He
always retains a tenderness for his
club, where lie can ventilate among his
fellow-men his ideas political. moral
and social, to which, it is quite true,
he does not, as u rule, treat his wife.
If lie has II male friend he can pass
hours upon hours in his company with
out being bored, which, unfortunately,
does not always happen in the case of
his wife, and the very fact women are
the first to declare that no wife wants
her husband always with her, is o
proof. more or less, of n certain incom-
patibility of temperament and thought.
Probably it is Oh this and kindred
grounds that the American forms her
opinion of the average English girl.
and, until she gains more experience of
English habits, imagines herself strict
ly correct. On the other hand, for a
fair and impartial opinion of the Amer
lean girl one must apply rather to IN
E%nglishman than to an Englishwoman,
for he is more on u level with her in
thought and more in touch with her in
idea. 1t is no secret that the unpreju-
diced, educated Englishman is a gen
eral ~favorite with American ONE
III he has a particle of discernment he
very soon discovers that American
freedom is by no means a synonym for
license, and when he has fully assimi-
lated that idea he finds his relations
with the "nice" American girl most
charming and cordial and fascinating.
But in the matter of propriety and be-
havior he finds that she is inexorable,
and that SO far from being permitted
more license of speech or action he in
reality enjoys less.-N0honm Repicw.

An Innocent Practical Joke.

A Scranton bachelor, who boards al
n of the hotels and rooms outside,
got sc tired of eating stale eggs a
while ago that he thought he would
see if he couldn't change the program
a little. So he bought three dozen
new laid eggs and took them to his
lodgings and when he went to tea that
night he carried a couple of the eggs
in his pocket and told the pleasant
faced waiter girl to have them boiled
soft. They came back as hard Us
rocks, and the bachelor boarder de-
cided that no one in the kitchen knew
enough to boil an egg. The hand
some waiter girl said that she was
sorry the cook had not done Us she
had ordered her to and she volunteered
to have two eggs boiled soft, but the
boarder told her she needn't. The
next morning he took two more eggs
over to the hotel and gave special di-
rections as to how they should he
boiled and had to swear when he
opened them, for they were as hard as
base balls.
At supper that night he took three
eggs, got another girl to take his
order, result; Three eggs as unyield-
ing as bullets. The bachelor said he
guessed it was time for him to change
his boarding place, and he uttered
other unpleasant remarks regarding
the interior management of the culina-
ry department of the house. But he
was on hand the next morning, and
had three nice large fresh eggs in his
pocket. Calling his favorite waiter
girl he said:
CHOW 1 want you to open these eggs
drop them in hot water, and poach
them over soft, and, my dear, 1 want
You to stand by them and see that
they are cooked right"
She said she would, and AWAY she
Went, but i'll a minute or two she re-
turned looking sad, and the three eggs
in six halves OH a dish.
II am sorry, sir" she said, and her
light soprano voice trembled, s'but
these eggs were already boiled as hard
as they could he when / broke Them"
and she placed them upon the table in.
front of the irate bachelor.
He smelled a rat right away and he
left the table ut once and started out
to verify his suspicious. His investi-
cations were finished by the middle of
the forenoon, and what he found out
was this: A married friend of his,
who lived in the same house where the
bachelor had his lodgings, is a practi-
cal jokerof the first order. He had taken
all of the eggs to his kitchen, boiled
them as hard as lie could, and then
placed them back in the bachelors
basket.
Its all right" said the bachelor to
another friend, s'but I'll lay for him
with u trick that will make him hate
himself like satan for a year and u
half."-BM0alO Courier.

The wholesale grocsrs in Minnesota
have entered into a compact to refuse to

the price is to be that of the day of ship

honesty Of the wholesaler. 1t is also pro-
posed that if this scheme works to sell
practically for cash, that is, an accepted
