How to Enter a Carriage.

Partisan authorities have been
debating whether the host or the
guest should enter n carriage first
After much argument the following
conclusions have been reached:
II the host be 4 woman she should
enter first and Should seat herself -
that her guest shall cit Al her right,
nut she should not neglect to ex,
plain 10 he. guest that she wishes
her to cccupyT the seat Of honor at
her right.
II the host be man the guest
enters the carriage finst and takes
the seat b the right Of where the
host is to sit. In entering 4 carriage
gentleman should never pass in
front 81 a lady seated within; he
should rather walk around 10 the
farther side Of the carriage ard
enter by the outside door.-Chico9O

With a peal of silvery laughter, Ola
danced out of her concealment, and
Bryce stopped groaning to say indig-
nantly:
You have lost your wager! You've
been drinking tea!''
"No-I only made the tea for you to
drink" Ola retorted.
That's true-every word it!' cried
jollitied Phinnie st. John, showing
his not entirely beautiful face, which
had been hidden behind the pantry
door. You see, suspected you,
too, and hid myself"
'tShe drank first, didn't she?" asked
Bryce, with tears in his eyes.
mo, but she was just ready to drink
when you came in. You have lost
your bet, Thorne."
Bryce tried to laugh, but it ended in
a grotesque contortion of the lips.
'FWell, [ don't care he managed to
say, at last. 'I'n own right up on the
spot. I've been drinking cold tea out
of that teapot every day for a week
past"
Everybody had laugh over the re-
suit of the affair, and then they ex-
pected to see Miss Olla's new napkin
ring before long
1t did not come, but instead Phinnie
st. John deserted a diamond cluster
flashing upon Olla's finger.

couple that evening.
Yes" replied Bryce. ''She has
concluded to make tea for me for life,
and thought this would be most ap-
propriate.'
And Phinnie, his hopes forever gone,
with his pleasing occupation, felt even
more panied than did Bryce the entire
week after he was caught in the act. :"

BIG ELEPHANT YARN.
A Tug-of-War Extraordinary as Told by a
Disciple OF Munchausen.

The London Graphic prints some ele-
phant and crocodile pictures obtained
from a certain Maj-Gen Robley who
bases them on an elephant yarn" as he
styles it, told him by one Barcus, who
was probably related to celebrated
German baron named Munchausen.
Barcus thus told his tale, and it will be
seen that there is good deal of tail to
it:
1.-TWO year ago I was on a shooting
expedition up the Ganges, and on the
lookout for some big game of any kind.
One day came across the 'spoor' of
very big rogue elephant. AS it was
getting dark, I determined to follow
the 'spoor' next day. Accordingly
daybreak saw me on the track, and
soon I came to a large tank, and
there 1 saw my friend having fare
well drink, and splashing in the
water like an animated haystack. He
was far beyond range, and there was
little or no cover near, l could only
watch and wait. Presently he moved
off, and, the wind being favorable, ]
followed closely.
'.And now comes the strange part of
my story We arrived at a smaller

Black is White.

The word black (Anglo-Saxon blac,
blasc, bleak) is fundamentally the
same as the old German "blach," now
only to be found in two or three COM
pounds, as blachfeld, level or plain;
blachmahl, the scum which floats on
the top of silver when melted, and
blachfrost; which plainly shows that it
originally meant 'level," "bare,n and
was used to denote blackness, because
blackness is (apparently) bare of color.
The nasalized form of the word is
blank, which also means bare, and is
used to denote whiteness, because
whiteness is also (apparently) bare of
color. The same word was used bv
the old Germans and the An glo-Saxons.
as just shown, to denote two things
very opposite to each other, from
which it seems, we get an incontro-
vertible argument in favor of our par
adoxical headline, says the st. Louis
Republic. 1t may help to a conclusion,
and serve as further support to our
contention, to point out that ''blacn in
Anglo-Saxon actually means "white''
as well as ''black," so that it is not
in its nasalized form only that the
same word is employed to express op-
posite things. Why is this, unless that
to the primitive mind both white and
black appeared to agree in being bare
or void of color, and for that reason to
deserve the name? And here we can
not help harboring suspicion suggest
ed by the old German ''blachfrost''
(Which appears to be nearly obsolete,
or only used in some localities), that
''black frost'' meant originally frost
bare of Accomplishments, as hoar, rime,
and it is a coincidence only that it
should be black in color and so also
blacken the vegetation. In these days,
however, we have lost the original
meaning as applied by the two nations
above referred to, and take it as re-
ferring only to color

FancY's Ferry.

You've crossed his ferry many time. Perhaps
you didn't know it.
He seats you in his ferry-boat and then begins
to row it.
He dips his oars so softly that you can not ever
hear them,
And 10! you land at Fancy's docks before yor
know you re near them.
Oh! Fancy's land looks very grand with struct
ures high and airy,
And bright impossibilities to mislead the un
wary.
And presently you find yourself, no matter
what your station,
A-building castles in the air, that haven't q
foundation.
And yet it isn't difficult to rear them till they're
Than anything you ever saw in turret or il
spire,
And Fancy seems so wonderous kind, he
gratfties each notion
You've not whim but is indulged through his
extreme devotion.
Old Humdrum- town you left behind seems
sadly uninviting,
With school, and books, and lessons that you're
tired of reciting.
But 10! what's this? Your castle shakes! Its
walls are all a-crumbleI
You stand amid ruined mass, alive, but very
humble.
Then Fancy rows you home again-it doesn't
take minute;
You wouldn't know-his boats SO swift-that
you're really in it.
But-at word-fwith such u shockD false
Fancy lands his wherry
What does he care for foolish folk who daily
cross his ferry?
