How She Behaved.

The negro makes us laugh because
he will say things which he should
have left unsaid, and say them without
the least intention of giving offense.
An admirable illustration of this sort
of humor is given in the Editors
Drawer" of Harpe''s. Briefly told, 1t
is as follows:
Samson, the colored janitor OF an
apartment house in which Mr.. and
Mrs. Robinson occupy fat, is rot
treated by their Irish cook with the
Difference which he thinks due to his
position.
One morning when, a. the going up
and down of the coal-scnttle, Samson
had been worsted in a wordy encoun-
ter, his wounded dignity could stand it
no longer. Stopping Mr.. Robinson on
the front stairs, he complained to him
of his sharp -toogucd servant.
What Samson wished to say was
that the girl assumed as much author
ity as if she were one of the ladies OF
the house. What he did say was this:
"Mr Robinson, that girl OF yours has
ordered me found. an yelled at nc
down the elevator shaft, an bowed
me an jawed me until you'd have
thought it wa5 Mrs. Robinson her
self"

Ballooning as a Sport.

Ballooning should be encouraged as a
rccl cation. As there is little ballooning
done in this country, very few know any
thing of this charming experience, and
nearly all have an exaggerated idea of its
danger. In Europe, and especially in
Paris, free balloon asccnts are quite often
made, and as Il natural result the. French
men make good balloons. Ballooning is
not more expensive than yachting, and
to my mind it is much more interesting.
A good silk balloon with capacity for
two pcoplc-say one holding "a, 900 cubic
feet of gas--costs in Frenee $500 or 5000.
Here it would cost rather more. The
gas is cheaper there also, but if one has
good balloon and does his own work, the
whole expense of ballooning here ought
not to average over 800 for each ascent.
With little previous study and the prac-
tical experience of few trips, one can
manage his own balloon. Under ordi-
nary circumstances two persons make the
best number for an ascent. A balloon
club, having feet of well-constructed
balloons, could have excursions and races
on the same plan as that of yachting and
canoeing. 1t i an art or recreation that
has been neglected. At all events it has
been left mostly to professionals, who in
dulge in its most risky features and give
it the name of being a very dangerous
sport, which it need not have. My ex
pericnce has shown me that there is more
fun to be had cup in balloon, boys"
than can be discovered "down in coal
mine, underneath the ground. ~ Forest

His Wife Got Even.

A local doctor had an experience COL
lcc.ing a bill which he will not soon
forget. The account amounted to SIS,
and. after sending monthly statements
for three years. the debtor, u merchant,
by the way, sent check which, on pres
cntation at the bank, was found to be
worthless. 1t happened about this time
that the physicians wife wished some
articles for the house and visited the
merchants store. She was unknown to
the proprietor. who was all suavity and
poIitcncss, and although prices were a
little high. she purchased bill Of goods
amounting to sci. When she gave her
name and address and ordered the goods
sent TO tho house the courteous proprietor
nearly tainted. lie had gone so far, how
ever that he was ashamed not to send
the goods. which were delivered in good
time. Promptly he received his worth
less check by mail. Then he began
sending bills for the balance Of So. When
did he gct the balance? The calendar
and his books will show that the s. were
rcmitcd lust three years after the &C

An Upright Nan.

An upright nan may be one either
Of sterling qualities of character, or one
of an erect carriage and stiff back bone.
Dealing with the latter, it is something
worth knowing how to preserve this
physical uprightness, or to bring 1t
about as a relief to a backbone that has
become Aexed. In this condition q
man is the most useless looking object
that walks. But it is so easy thing to
hclp his helplessness, that the wonder
is why any remain so for any length OF
time. Mr.. Francis Maurer, OF Chicago,
m. saws that he suffered five months
with lame back, and that he was con-
fined to bed and could not walk. The
doctors could not help him, he says,
hut St. Jacobs Oil cured him, and he
has had no pain for five years, up to
the time of his statement.
