One OF Barnum's Little jokes.
"Do you know why P. T. Barnum Is
unpopular with the Canadians?" asked
theatrical agent of Rochester Post
Express man. 'I will tell you. There
is heavy duty on posters in Canada
and the Snowman who takes q large
quantity Of printed matter into the
dominion is under an enormous expense.
Barnum determined to avoid the ex-
action. He planned Canadian tour for
1886, and two years before he sent tons
of posters to Canada and neglected to
pay the duty. The stuff lay in the
custom-house without being called for,
and at last the officials decided to ad-
yertise it for sale at auction. Barnum
sent an agent to the sale to buy up the
show bills, and he did so at bargain.
The secret leaked out, and that's the
reason the patriotic citizens OF Canada
are down on Barnum."
John Bright, who was lover Of
poetry, said that he always selected
American poets as more clear, intelligi-

Longfellow and Lowell he classed as al

as sunshine, and refreshing as breezes,
| while tho English poets aim at sGst.e-
tics.

VERY AGGRAVATING.
Plant of a Boston Man Who Does Not
Underst tand Female Nature.


A Boston business man, who is some-
thing of a crank, met Globe man yes
terday afternoon, and, after exchanging
few words about the result of the cleo
tions, said: "Did you ever notice what
aggravating creatures women are? Or
have been singularly afflicted in hav-
ing one of the worst of them for my
wife?"
''Why, what's the matter now?" uues-
toned the writer in return.
'Oh with sigh), my wife has the life
worried out of me with her foolish ques-
tions and aggravating remarks. Now, for
instance, only the other day 1 had
quietly sneaked upstairs so that might
shave myself without interruption, and
had sharpened my razor, fixed my glass
in the window, lathered myself and had
just commenced operations on my beard,
which is not one of the easiest to shave
by any means. I was not in a very
pleasant frame of mind, you may believe,
and, to make it worse, just at that juno
ture my wife stuck her head in the door
and asked:
"'Are YOU shaving, dear?' Now, it
was only the day before that had
dropped fiat-iron on my pet corn, and
then she ventured to ask me if did
not know it was heavy, and what made
me drop it on my foot; SO you can bet that
was mad clear through. So, when she
said: Are you shaving, dear?' turned
on her and snapped out: NO, you fool,
, I'm not shaving. If you had any eyes
you could see that I'm shoveling COAL"
He sighed as he turned to go up the
street, and said: "But it's Just like a
woman, you know, to ask foolish ques-
tions like that. 1 suppose if were to
tumble out of a second-story window
and should land on pointed iron fence
my wife would come flying out and
with an air of solicitation say: sDar-
ling, did you hurt yourself?'"
