Couldn't Fool the Editor.

l heard such a funny story about a
famous poetess of passion, whose poems
ought OF course to bring tremendous
prices. but sometimes are rejected like
those of less gifted mortals. A young
: editor received one from the lady, with n
note stating that she would sell it to him
for SO, but that from any other editor she
could easily get $50. When the young
editor, who is as wise as serpent while
looking as harmless as a dove. received
this note he waxed sarcastic and laughed
with merry scorn, for he had CHANGED to be
IN various other sanctums where this very
poem had been read and rejected.
He realized that his paper was a dernier
resort, and carefully folding up the spasm
OF emotion he returned it, with a polite
note to the effect that he couldn't think of
taking the poem at such low rates when
the author could SO easily get double her
price elsewhere. The fiery poetess tells all
her friends that the editor is no gentle
man.-New York Cor. Chicago Herald.

Mit and satire in Wits.

One might suppose that will making was
anything but merry occupation, and yet
the drollery of the wills that some &c
centric old fellows have left behind them
could hardly be surpassed. Dean Swift
could not have concocted more bitter
joke than that of the tcstator who, after
reeiting the obligations he was under to a
particular friend, bequeathed to him at the
bottom of the first page of his will ten
thousand-doIlars, of course, thought the
delighted legatce; but. on turning the leaf,
the bequest was discovered to be ten thou
sand thanks. What a wet blanket for
great expectationsr
just as odd was the codicil of the death
stricken humorist vino left to certain of
his dear relatives .'as many acres of land
as shall be found equal to the area inclosed
by the track of the center of the oscilla-
ton OF the earth in revolution round the
sun, supposing the mean distance of the
sun to be q 600 semi-diameters of the earth
from it," This was century ago, and as
the problem could not be satisfactorily
worked out the legatees were kept ut a
mean distance from the propertya all their
lives
A very neat reproach was conveyed in
the will of an uncle who bequeathed eleven
silver spoons to his nephew with the re-
mark, III have not left him the dozen he
knows the reason," the young scapegrace
having stolen the-tweJfth spoon some time
before.-New York Ledger.

A Man Who Loved to Lie A-baskiag in

A curious incident occurred the other
night while the detective police were scour-
ing the Bots de Boulogne, with the object
of Kidding it of the many suspicious char
acters who had recently made it place of
resort. A poorly dressed man, seeing the
police give chase to gang of roughs, took
to his heels and fled. The fact of his run
ming away induced the police to follow in
pursuit, but the man, reaching the lake
before them, plunged bravely in and swan
to the opposite bank in the expectation
of Guiding them. Unfortunately for him,
other detectives witnessed the scene, and
quietly arrested him when he stepped out
of the water
Taken dripping wet to the police COM
missary's Office he was of course search
ed In canvas bag strapped over his
shoulder were found. first, little case con-
tanning needles and thread, azinc drinking
cup, pocketknife, two pocket handker-
chiefs and AGO francs in notes and gold. On
the sight of this money the police conimissa-
~ at once concluded the man had stolen it,
and began to question him and to call him
a thief; but at that moment the official
was surprised By bis subordinate drawing
out Of the inexhaustible canvas bag two
well worn volumes of poetry, one by Al
fred de Musset, the other by Victor Hugo.
The "thief" said he was neither a rough
nor thief, nor anything but hard work
ing, but perhaps eccentric, individual. lie

winter he always had lodging at q house

sweets, cheese and dessert; and light
meat supper at l6.
My friend thought he would close on
the two-pound-fve job Che is q hearty
eater), and did 80.
Lunch came just as they were off
Sheerness. He didn't feel SO hungry as
he thought he should. and SO contented
himself with bit of boiled beef and
some strawberries and cream. He pom
dered good deal during the afternoon,
and at one time it seemed to him that
he had been eating nothing but boiled
beef for two weeks, and at other times it
seemed that he must have been living on
Strawberries and cream for years.
Neither the beef nor the strawberries
andcream seemed happy, either seemed
discontented like.
AT 6 they came and told him dinner
was ready. The announcement aroused
no enthusiasm within him, but he felt
that there was some of that two-pound-
five to be worked off, and he held on TO
ropes and things and went down A pleas
ant odor of onions and hot ham, min
gled with fried fish and greens, greeted
him at the bottom of the ladder. and
then the steward came up with an oily
smile, and said:
What can get you, SIR"
"Get me out Of this" was the feeble
reply.
And they ran him up quick, and
propped him over to leeward and left
him.
For the next four days he lived sim
pie and blaIneless life on thin captains
biscuits Qmean that the biscuits were
thin, not the captain) and soda water;
but toward Saturday he got uppish and
went in for weak tea and dry toast, and
on Monday he was gorging himself on
chicken broth. He left the ship on
Tuesday, and as it steamed away from
the landing stage he gazed after it re-
gretfully.
There she goes" he said, there she
goes, with GO worth of food on board
that belongs to me. and that / haven't
had"
Ee said that if they had given him
another day he thought he could have
put it straight.
1t is a curious fact, but nobody ever is
seasick-pn land. At sea you come
across plenty Of people very bad indeed,
whole boat loads of them, but l never
met a man yet, on land, who had ever
known at all what it was to be seasick.
Where the thousands upon thousands of
bad sailors that swarm in every ship
hide themselves when they are on land
is a mystery.
For myself | have discoyered an ex-
cellent preventive against seasickness in
balancing myself. You stand in the
center of the deck, and as the ship
heaves and pitches you move your body
about, so as to keep it always straight.
When the front of the ship rises you
lean forward till the deck almost
touches your nose, and when its back
end gets up you lean backward. This is
all very well for an hour or two, but you
can't balance yourself for a week.

Geains Rid of Runzinr in the rs,sn,on,

e,
The Central New York Telephone and
Telegraph company of this city has devised
a plan by which the induction to its lines
by the electric current on the wires of the
Belt line street railroad is in a measure
overcome. When the electric cars were
hrst operated, and at times since, patrons
OF the telephone company have complained
OF buzzing sound in the instrument when
the receiver was placed to the ear, making
1t difficult to understand the person at the
other end of the line, Trouble was also
occasioned in the exchange by the frequent
falling of the annunciator when no one
had sent in call
Investigation by the company,s cleo
tricians revealed the fact that the trouble
was occasioned by the electric cars. The
current from the underground wires of
the railroad spread out and interfered with
the return circuit of the telephone COM
pany. The difficulty can never be entirely
oovlated, but plan has been hit upon by
which the service is greatly improved. A
large copper wire has been run from the
central office between the line wires on
which the phones are connected, and
