A SOFT AN SWER.
A Dapper Little Dude Taken Down by a
Clever Young Woman.

| A pleasant faced young woman and her
husband took their seats at the hotel table
opposite dapper little dude fresh from
| the center of the highest civilization, says
the Detroit Free Press. During the meal
the husband requested the little man to
hand something and all he received was
cold, rude stare. He was mad in a minute
and about to make few remarks
when his wife laid her hand gently on
his arm.
I'D int Henry she said reprovingly.
Don't pay any attention TO it. You know
you shouldn't expect to find everything in
such a little package"
The other people at the table snorted
and the little one left the room.
Couldn't Place The Leddy.
Housekeeper: How long dld you re-
main in your last placer
Applicant: ''Sure, | left in wan day.
There was no plain the Teddy, at all, at

THE oldest bit of slang which can be
traced to historical origin is said to be
che is brick" Plutarch, In his life
of Lycurgus, gives an account of the visit
of an ambassador from Epirus to the city
of Sparta, who saw much to admire and
praise. But he wondered greatly thai
Sparta was not walled town and asked
the explanation of its lack of defensive
works. No answer was returned that day.
Early the next morning, hoWever-for the
Spar tans rose at dawn--the Epirote was
awakened and conducted to the field of
exercise outside the city, where the
army Of Sparta was drawn up IN bat
tie array. There" said Lycurgus, "are
the walls of Sparta, and every man is a
brick"
Ia a country SO jealous OF any invasion
of personal liberty there has perhaps been
too much liberation of ''cranks. The
Garfield assas sination, and the New York
catastrophe and other similar incidents
would seem to show that they constitute a
dangerous element, and that wherever
they have been known to make threats or
to act with violence, 1t would be the part
of true kindness to them, as we'll as the
public, which is practically at their mercy,
to put them Immediately where they can
do no harm.

The news of the loss of two British
steamers recently on the Chinese coast
during a severe gale, when taken with
other reports of re cent disasters in eastern
waters, apparently show that the western
Pacific is unusually stormy this season.
The period of greatest storminess follow
ing the change of the Asiatic monsoons
from southwest to northeast has passed.
But in this region The Chinese coast is an
exception to the general rule that with the
establishment of the northeast monsoon
blue skies and settled weather prevail
without serious interruption.

THE CurlOus news comes from Bombay
that an epidemic of cholera has broken
out among shoals of sharks, those terrible

The bodies of several British seamen who

it is supposed that the sharks contracted
the disease by Teasing on the bodies OF
