When Jim Gets Home.

With stsmble, trip and tumble,
Jim is coming home;
Now on the 70 ,tway, now the street.
Now on his back, now on his feet
Now hating some dry friend to treat,
Jim comes slowly home.
Go ling, go ding, Jingle, pingle
With breath in which all liquors mingle,
Jim steers slowly home;
And up from memory's deep raviae
His visions of hot Irish steam,
Hazy spectres like dream,
As Jim goes home
G'long. 90 ling, rimble, rumble,
With key reversed to claw and tumble
Jim goes slowly home;
Throw wide the door and lug him in,
Haul on his coat tails. kith aud kin,
Whewl how the hallway smells of gin,
When Jim gets home.

The World Enriched.

The facilities of the present day for
the production of everything that will
conduce to the material welfare and
comfort of mankind are almost unlim-
tied, and when Syrup of Figs was first
produced the world was enriched with
the only perfect laxative known, as it
is the only remedy which is truly
pleasing and refreshing to the taste
and prompt and effectual to cleanse
the system gently in the Spring-time
or, in fact, at any time, and the better
it is known the more popular it be-
comes.

A MUSICAL SPIDER.
How He Was Mysti6ed and Pleased by q
Tuning Fork.

How He Was Mystlfed and Pleased by q
Tuning Fork.
n gentleman in California has been
trying experiments with spider, and
he seems to think that the spider en-
joys certain sounds even after lie finds
they are not caused by the buzzing of q
lily caught in the web. This is what q
Gan francisco paper says about it:
"A gentleman was watching some
spiders when it occrsrcd to him to try
what effect the sound of tuning fork
would have upon them. lie suspected
they would take it for the buzzing of q
fly. lie selected a large, ugly spider
which had been fcasting on flies for two
months. The spider was at one edge of
its web. Sounding the fork the man
touched thread at the other side and
watched the result.
MIR. Spider had the buzzing sound con-
veycd to him over the telephone wires,
but how was he to know on which par
ticular wire it was travelling? lie ran
to the center Of the web very quickly
and felt all around until he touched the
thread against the other end of which
the fork was sounding, then, taking
another thread along, Just as man
would take an extra piece of rome. he
ran out to the fork and sprang upon it.
Then he retrcated little way and
looked at the fork. He was puzzled.
He had expected to find buzzinp flv.
He got on the fork again and danced
with delight. Evidently the sound was
music to him."

FIGHTING SEAMEN.
Rows between Ameri can and British
Men of Wars Men,

at is curious thing. and one which
could never satisfactorily account for, !"
said an old navy man the other day to n
New York Times writer. but If the
crews of an American and British man
of war arc given leave at the same time
in foreign port the result of broken
beads and noses is no more a matter OF
speculation than the calculation OF the
next eclipse. As soon as they meet a
row il started. which generally ends
with all hands being disabled or ar
rested, and sometimes both. II frequent
w happens that the police interfere
with the contestants. The unwritten
law in this case is for the belligerents
TO join forces against the common
enemy. I have often seen them come
out victorious in their contests with the
officers Of the law, and. after adjourn
ing 10 a neighboring saloon for refresh
ments, begin again their interrupted
hostilitics. But IL Is only on neutral
ground that these general engagements
take place. II they meet on English or
American soil each tries to outvie the
other in hospitality"
