THE CHRONIC BORROWER.

A woman who is always "just out" of
the small wares of the kitchen is a nui-
sance to the community. She will run
in on you at any and all hours, and
want to borrow just little sugar, or
spice, till she can send to the grocer's.
She really did not know she was any
where near out, till she went about her
cooking, and then she found that she
hadn't dust of sugar in the house, and
not a soul around anywhere that she
could send out after any. And she will
tell you that she does so hate to trouble
you; for if there is anything on earth
she dislikes to do it is to borrow-and
she never does it when she can help it;
but now her pie-crust is all on the
plates, and she was obliged to-, because
she could not spare time to run to the
grocer's. And she will sit down in
your kitchen half an hour, and talk
about everybody in town; and. mean.
while, she will take an account of every.
thing her eyes fall on, and collect CAPT
tai for endless gossip as to your habits
and methods. When the borrower re-
turns what she borrows it is always in {
little smaller measure, Il: indeed, Sh,
raturns it at all. And you may sou

CAN ANYBODY WHO CHEWs TO-
BACCO GO TO IfE4VENo

"By the way" exclaimed the Major,
II heard a funny conversation to-day,
coming up from Fort Madison. The
talk on the train had drifted upon the
subject Of prohibition and the duty of
anti-liquor people to forcibly restrain
their neighbors from drinking, looking
at it from moral and religious point of
view.
"The affirmative was maintained by q
farmers wife and her husband, the
former doing nearly all the talking,
while the negative was taken by two
travelling men. One of the latter, in re-
ply to an expressed conviction of the
farmers wife that nobody who drank
could enter into the kingdom of Heaven,
said: You might as we'll say that no
man who chews tobacco can 60 to
Heaven
"The lady asked, DO you think that
anybody that chews tobacker can go to
Heaven?'
why not?' was the rejoinder.
"The farmers wife braced herself for
clincher, while her husband settled
back in his seat to enjoy the discomft-
ure of the audacious drummer at the
chestnut which he knew his better half
was about to fire at him.
:" Because said she, Heaven is a
clean place; chewing tobacker is a dirty
habit and tohacker chewer is an un-
clean thing, and the Bible says no I'M
clean thing shall enter into the kingdom
OF Heaven
Having delivered herself of this
forcible logic the old lady looked around
upon the passengers with an air of SUI
periority and triumph.
"The commercial man waited pa
tiently until the farmer and his wife had
got through laughing, and then quietly
asked:
Where do people go who eat with
their knives and blow their noses with
their fngers?'
"The rural couple said something
about getting personal, and remained
quiet until they got off the train while
the wretch who had knocked them out
solemnly took bite from the end of a
plug half a foot long. "-Chicago Her.

finding that they had some time to wait

termined they would go and call on

by. They told the gentlemen to wait
for them, and they swung gracefully up
the road-a pretty picture. They
knew all about the picture; they knew
that the six male eyes were following
them, and they made themselves as at
tractive to the six eyes as they could.

them:
"Look out, or you'll lose your train !"

calm IN TIE FACE OF DEATH.

A tradesman of Lyons, France, of the
name of Grivet, man of mild and SIM
pie manners, was sentenced during the
French Revolution, with a number of
others, to die next morning. Those
who were already in the cave pressed
round the newcomer to sympathize with
and fortify him. But Grivet had no
need of consolation; he was as calm as
if he had been in his own house. "Come
and sup with u.s." said they, "this is the
last inn in the journey of life; to-mor-
row we shall arrive at our long home.
Griyet accepted the invitation and sup
ped heartily. DESTROYS to sleep as we'll
he retired to the remotest corner of the
cave, and, burying himself in the straw
seemed not to bestow thought on his
approaching fate.
The morning arrived. The other
prisoners were tied together and led
away without Grivet's perceiving any,
thing or being perceived. Fast asleep,
enveloped in his straw, he neither saw
nor was seen. The door of the cave was
locked, and when he awoke awhile after,
he was in the utmost establishment to
find himself in perfect solitude. The
day passed, and no new prisoners were
brought into the cave. The judges did
not sit for two days. Grivet remained
all this time in his solitude subsisting
on some scattered provisions which he
found in the cave, and sleeping every
night with the same tranquility as on
the first. On the evening of the fourth
day the turnkey brought in new pris-
oner, and became as one thunderstruck
on seeing a man, or, as he almost be-
lieved, spirit in the cave.
He called the sentinel, who instantly
appeared. "Who are you?" said he to
Grivet "and how came you here?"
Grivet answered that he had been there
four days. Doubtless" he added
when my companions in misfortune
were led away to death I slept and
heard nothing, and no one thought to
awaken me. 1t was my misfortune,
since all now would have been past,
whereas I have now lived with the pros
pect of death always before me, but the
misfortune now will undoubtedly be re-
paired and shall die"
Grivet was summoned before the tri-
bunal. He was Intercepted anew. 1t
was a moment of lienity with the judges
and he was set at liberty.-Philadel-

puzzle that is attracting a crowd of in

and running about in the passage are
four small pigs, ornamented with bows

boy in the guise of a farmer, endeavors
to drive them into the pen, while the
crowd of people watch outside. Just as
he succeeds in getting them into the
inner ring, one or two OF them will
jump the ratings and trot leisurely in
the opposite direction, after the Gus

TIME TEAL,

So much praise is accorded to the in
telligence OF the higher dumb animals
that we sometimes forget the large num-
Der of unpretending little creatures who
are willing to be loving and companion
able, if we will but encourage them. A
writer in Macmillan's Magazine thus
describes duck, which evidently
possessed a power Of thought and feel
ing quite equal to that of some dogs:
This was not domestic duck, but a
teal, which my friend brought down
with his gun, slightly wounded. Out
Of compassion, he tied it up in hand
kerchief and carried it home.
The captive soon grew accustomed to
its new mode of existence, and strongly
attached to all the members of the
family, seeking for them when it felt
lonely, and always exhibiting anger and
distress i'll the presence of strangers.
When cat OF dog was fondled in its
presence, it would run to the spot, adj
minister few vindictive blows to the
animal with its soft bill, and solicit a
caress for itself. The most curious
thing in its history was that it took a
special liking to its captor, and singled
him out to receive it's most marked at
tentions.
When he went away to business in
the morning, the teal would accompany
him to the street door to see him off
then return contentedly to the ward ::
and in the afternoon it would again re-
pair to the door, always left open, and
standing composedly on the middle Of
the step, await its masters return. for
this teal took account of time.
If, while it stood there WATCHING tho
road. stranger came in, it would open
its beak, hiss, and strike at his laoa
showing as much suspicion and sense Of
proprietorship as a dog does, when it
barks and snaps at visitor.
Its owners arrival was greetad Will,
