The Bad Compliment.

1t is curious to note that the bad COM
pliment proper, in its. elementary form,
constitutes the lowest and most rudimen-
tary development of humor. 1t has been
said that this faculty, the sense or percep-
ton of humor, is the only real mental or
moral attribute which distinguishes the
rich from the poor, and is the only pleas
ure which the lowly born are incapable of
sharing in some degree or other with those
above them in the social scale; but they
undoubtedly have a consciousness of the
ridiculous, apt to be tickled by the appro-
priately mal-apropos. That this should
take the coarser and more direct form of
epithet-not by any means necessarily i'll
natured-with the uneducated, is but what
one would have expected.
Nor is it to be wondered at that these I'M
complimentary comparisons should be
chiefly drawn from the animal world, see
ing how constantly we are brought into
contact with the lower orders of creation,
and how much stronger are the impress
sions which we derive from them than
from any association of inanimate objects
Here, possibly, may be some relic of totem
ism handed down from savage ancestry,
for in every human breast there exists a
yearning toward symbolism in some shape
or form, from the cultured appreciation of
the tropes and SMILES of poetry, down to
the rough conceits heard at the Zoo on a
bank holiday.-All the Year Round.

night, my homeward way lying by the
White House, satisfied my curiosity by
walking around the grounds Not hui
man being was to be seen. The gates were
all locked, but by way of experiment |
jumped over the fence in the rear part of
the grounds and walked across the park,
not far from the mansion. Had been OBJ
served there would have been some ex-
planning to do; but no one saw me, and
even the big mastiff that sleeps in a dog
house between the White House and the
treasury uttered not a sound.
A young man who is a member of one of
the numerous poker clubs of Washington
tells me he was returning home at late
hour one recent morning when he saw two
suspicious looking men providing around
rough looking fellows, and he thought
they were there for no good purpose,
though they were simply standing outside
the fence looking at the mansion, where
the lamps are kept burning all night long
in the port cochere. The young man men
toned the matter to the first policeman he
met on his homeward way, and the officer
afterward told him he had investigated the
case with an unexpected result.
The men were simply two honest fellows
who had landed in town from the north
late at night, expecting to continue their
Journey to the south without interruption.
but their train being late, and missing con-
nections in consequence, they had started
out to see the town during the night, as

The Work of the SnnS.

Snow has several curious methods of ex-
tending the sphere of its hostile influence
The comparatively light SHOWS which fall
IN our latitude are of minor Importance
since they readily yield to the early spring
sunbeams. They are in some degree bene-
fetal to the fertile surface and protective
to its more tender annual plants, while
their only important adverse effect is the
dangerous flooding of the rivers, due to
their rapid melting. But the deep and
persistent SHOWS of northern regions are
far more exhaustive of solar heat, and re-
duce the agricultural season of those re-
gions to dangerously short period. In
their melting, also, the surface air is
chilled, and winds from the north convey
this chilled air far to the south, thus
spreading widely over the warmer zones
the frost inducing influence of the melting
SHOWS.
We have seen how the tropic heats are
carried toward the poles by winds and
waters. The frigid cold is carried toward
the tropics by the same agencies-chilled
winds and cold ocean currents. 1t is car
RED by another agent of great Importance,
the direct creep of the snow itself toward
the lower ATTITUDES This agency has once
perhaps many times-produced an ex-
traordinary effect upon the surface of the
earth, one far surprising that of volcanic
explosions and lava outfiows in its adverse
influence. AT present this glacial action is
greatly reduced, but is still of much i'm
portance. = Charles Morris in Popular
Science Monthly.

An Important Omission.

Mrs. Williams had never been satisfied
with the arrangement of her old house,
and SO, when her husband proposed to
build new one she said she would like to
draw the plans; then she should be sure
that she would have enough closets and
other copveniences.
MIR. Williams said, Certainly, my dear,
you draw the plans, and then you can have
Jones look them over and see that they are
practicable"
"Of course they'll be practicable, and it
Will be only matter of form for Mr.. Jones
to pass approval on them" said his wife
confidently.
The plans were made and remade, al
tered and realtered, until at last they gave
Mrs. Williams perfect satisfaction. There
were enormous closets at every turn, and
open freplaces wherever there was a
chance for one, and with sigh of relief
she started for Mr.. Jones' Office.
When she displayed the plan of the first
floor she was much gratified at the archi-
tect's evident approval and although he
seemed on the point of asking some ques-
ton once or twice he did rot do so, and in
triumph she spread out the plan of the
second floor.
What do you think of that?" she asked
in the tone of one assured of pleasant an
swer
Charming, my dear madam, charmingr'
said the suave Mr.. Jones; "but-ah-oh-
how do you propose to reach the second
floor, may ask?''
"Ohr' said Mrs. Williams with a horri-
fed gasp, 81 forgot all about that; there's
no place for any stairs!"-Youth's Com
panion.

A Cruel Process.

A case of secret society initiation occur
red at Harvard only ten years ago which
passes for cruelty, if not for ghastliness.
An applicant for admission to secret So
ciety was taken to the gymnasium by
night, and first pulled up by tackles fast
ened to his wrists and after that by the
thumbs. His treatment was more than
the student could stand, and he nearly died
from the effects of it.
Another case was of more pleasant
nature. The neophyte was led blindfolded
through great number of Bostons
crooked streets until he was thoroughly
mystifed. Then he was taken to the high
est gallery of brilliantly lighted theatre
and made to lean over the rail, when the
blindfold was suddenly whisked off The
sensation of that moment. the student af-
terward said, unexpectedly finding himself
in the glare of the lights and looking far
down into the abyss of human beings, can
better be imagined than described.-New

The young man who told me this Incl
dent is an attachesof one of the foreign
leg" tions. A craze for the great American
game of draw poker has taken possession
of many of these attaches, and they have
club all their own, to which but few out
siders are admitted. The young diplo-
mates, being men of fashion, could not in
stitute poker club without paying some
regard to the proprieties of polite society,
and hence one of their rules is that no one
shall sit in their game unless he be in full
evening dress. The club is on this account
known as the "Swallow-tail Poker club

purpose of winning foreign cash have not

Among the best poker players in Wash
lngton are the newspaper correspondents.
There is one correspondent whose luck or
skill, or whatever it may be- has given him
the soubriquet of ''rhe Pirate" This cor
respondent is on friendly terms with a
certain Count B, attache of one of the
legations, and having heard the count say
he had played poker little and would like
to learn more of the game, the newspaper
man gave poker party at his house in the
counts honor, with the count, of course,
depended upon to pay the expenses. In
wiling several other correspondents, as
good players as himself, the host said to
them:
Now. boys, ask you to go easy on my
friend the count. He couldn't be expected
to know the game as well as we do, and
while [ am willing he should lose mod
crate sum L don't want him robbed in my
house. Go light on him"
Well, the game was played. The sitting
continued until daylight, and when the
chips were cashed in it was found that the
only winner was the Young count All the
others had contributed various sums, small
or large, to his net profits.

The Buttons on the Back of a Coat.

vert Chinaman, but found himself non
plussed when the listener retorted: "You
are profound scholar; you know every
thing. Tell me, then, why you wear those
two superfuous buttons on the back of
your coat" Whether the Chinaman re-
ceived satisfactory answer to his query or
not will probably never be known; but one
thing is certain, it set Investigators to
work, and it has since been ascertained
that the two buttons are the survival of a
semi-barbaric custom, and that they were
originally sewed on TO hold up a belt at a
time when every gentleman wore sword

A FORLORN HOPE.
Payson Liberals Nominate Men
to be Slaughtered.
1t is Done Merely to Test the Strength of the
Party in that Flourishing
Burg.

The Liberal party in Payson, although
in hopeless minority, have met and nomi-
mated for city officers the following ticket:
For Mayor-Edward Simons.
For Council-W. H. Fairbanks, A. j.
Shores, M. E. Judson, Lester Taylor. ]. M.
Boyle, A. Hancock.
For Justices of the Peace-R. T. Smith.
Grant Simons.
For Treasurer-George w. Williams.
For Assessor and Collector-Beverly
Harper.
For Recorder-Eli Good
For Marshal-D. E. Sargent.
The object of placing this ticket before
the people is to measure the strength of the
party, and as some young men will be en-
trapped to vote it by the persuasions of
their competitions, the party hopes to gain a
few votes that can be again utilized in the
future under the Liberal lash.
The Leader, the Liberal weekly paper of
Payson, has not contained many abusive
articles against the Mormons of late; in
fact the editor, E. r. Powell a Kansas
man, is peaceably inclined and can't get the
spirit of the Liberal party. Owing to this
the stockholders of the paper recently met
and removed Mr.. Powell from his
position. Finding that many adver-
tisements were withdrawn owing
TO this action, the stockholders
again met last evening in the Wightman
hotel. They had stormy time, conspicu-
Gus in which was wordy quarrel between
the president of the body that owns the
paper, Rev. r. T. Smith, of the Tiff
academy, and Rev. w. A. Hough, the Pres
bytsrian pastor. 1t seems that Mr.. Smith
wishes to be editor. What the quarrel will
produce in policy the following numbers of
the paper will show in the spirit of the edi-
torials.
Ths invitations are out for grand suf-
frage ball at the Payson opera house on
February 10, with music by Brimhalps
orchestra. Payson can boast of skillful
dancers and most excellent music, and this
party brings prominently before the people
the fact that we have such an organization
