This really occurred three days ago in this
city, says The Pittsburg Dispatch
A lady from Chicago was visiting the
family, and l. SO happened, owing to chap
ter of accidents, that the lady of the house
met her guest for the first time at the dinner
table. The hostess is partial to powder, and
in the evening increases her natural pallor
with its assistance. After the conventional
embrace the lady from Chicago said: "You
must have had a very firing day, Mrs
Blank"
Eyes, indeed, have, dear, and feel very
fatigued."
"Yes-I never saw you look so pale be-
fore"
"Oh, that's powder" broke in the 6-year-
old enfant terrible Miss Nellie, who had not
been a spectator in her mothers boudoir for
nothing
Gunpowder could not have exploded with
greater force.

THE MONKEY COMES BACK.

1t Was a Failure AS a Christmas Present
and She Proposed to Change ~.
She was coming down town from Harlem
on the elevated road, and as she shared seat
with middle aged man, she tuuk such pre-
cautions with package that tD- man looked
at it with inquiry in his eye
I'm taking it back" she explained as she
noticed his look; taking it back to the store
on Fourteenth street where bought it. 1t
was Christmas present to my little nephew.
Mebbe they won't take it back, but I'm going
to try EN-"
May | inquire what it is, maamln he
asked
Certainly. It's monkey-a toy monkey.
When got it thought had struck it rich.
1t had beautiful tail, opened and shut its
eyes, and by pulling a string it would slide
up and down a standard | thought it just
the thing for my little nephew"
And didn't it prove to beg"
Far from it, 1t wasn't an hour before he
had dug out the eyes, twisted off the tail and
had slid him up and down until the string
was broken Do they warrant monkeysq"
II can't say"
II think they warranted this one. IL | re-
member right the clerk said there was moth
ing to get out of order no wheels to run off
the track, and that he would stand in any
climate. Look at himl Has he stood? Is that
the way to beat an old lady like me out of
sixty centsl"
HE is certainly dilapidated looking ami
NAL, ma'am"
'You bet He's the dilapidatedest looking
thing in all New York state, and I've had him
laid away in the closet half the time since
Christmas They've got to take it back. Do

Perhaps"
They'd betterl I'm going in and smile
and speak softly at first, but if they get can
tankerous it won't take six sassy words to
raise my dander. What would you ask to
trade il forg"
"Well, l hardly know"
'I've sorter got my mind set on mule
which moves his head from side to side, but l
might take an elephant which swings his
trunk. A boy ten years old don't care much
for cows and sheep. What sort of crime
would you call it-selling me a monkey which
dilapidates in half an houra"
II should call it false pretenses."
That's exactly what it is, and they can
send man to jail for it. I'll talk soft at
first. I've thought it all out what to say.
I'll observe that they are probably honest
and upright, and didn't mean to deceive me.
and that they will be only too glad to make
it all right. If they go back on me and be-
gin to sass, why, I'll tell em what's what
and give em the awfullest lawsuit ever
known on earth"
II hope you'll come out all right, ma'am, !"
he observed, as she carefully rewrapped the
remains of the monkey in the newspaper.
Thanks I'll either come out all right or
perish in the attempt. I'm almost certain
chat they called it a ring tailed monkey,
when it didn't have the ghost of ring, and
that's more false pretense. Oh, III walk in
on 'em without a tremble, and they'll either
trot outs a mule or feel the roof of the store
trying to break away. New York Sun.

Cat bites. " said Dr. Gibier, of the
Pasteur institute, are much more
common in Paris than they are here.
Since l have been in this country |
have treated only two persons who l
had reason to believe were bitten by
mad cats
I'm Paris mad cats are almost as
common as mad dogs. People are
often bitten by them while returning
from the theatre The cats shun the
light and take refuge in dark Railways.
The noise of the people cropping their
way up the stairs late at night stirs the
animals up, and often they fly at the
faces of their disturbers. Before Pas
teur many people died in Paris from
hydrophobia resulting from cat bites.
But hydrophobia, whether caused by
cats or dogs is far more prevalent
abroad than it is in this country

LOVES FAITH.

II one should come and tell me that the birds
Had lost their voices; that the flowers no more
Gave forth soft odors; that for lack of dew
The grass blades dropped at dawn time: that the
shells
Had left the oceans shore. the pearls its bed;
That frost and fruitage had congenial grown;
That the lost Sister of the Pleiades
Had reappear'd in Taurus; that the sun
Had wheeled its golden chariot TO the north;
II one should come and tell me this dear love,
j might believe him. But if one should come
And tell me you were false; why, should stand,
With folded arms, and dart thro' him glance
50 keenly edged with scornful disbelief
That back he would recoil like April clouds
Before the advancing sun, and call upon
The mantle of his wrath to cover him

WHAT Is YOUR OPNroNg

Should any one ask your opinion about
the Histogenetic system of Medicine, Just
answer boldly that it is no good. Should
he ask you the reason why it is no good
tell him-iust because. If this answer does
not confound him by its profundity and he
still persists, tell him that it is new-fan-
gled idea. This will probably prove effect
i've, as it bankrupted the first iron pillow es-
adjustment. Should you fail in that, too
don't give up, but insist with the powerful
argument that your grandmother never
heard of it; that you can't see how mer-
curry, arsenic, strychnine, etc. can be i'm
proved upon, and that the old schools of
medicine must necessarily have exhausted
all the stock of wisdom, and that there can
not possibly be anything left to learn. And
if all your powerful arguments have failed
to convince him of the reasonableness of
your positiOn-you have still one Parthian
shot-tell him that you are simply aston
ished; that you thought him an intelligent
man.
And still there are men-and women, too
upon whom such arguments have no eff
feet, but they are thinking people who are
willing to investigate before they form an
opinion.

What She Was Thinking About.
We sat in the parlor together,
And watched her beaming face,
And said to myself, can sea there
OF love for myself tracer
h! IS she thinking about me,
And wondering if I'll propose,
Or are the thoughts of the maid tonight
Of other aud richer beauxY
Thought could see by her glances,
The glances she cast at me,
That was the one she thought Of
The husband that was to be.
And my heart went out TO the maiden,
And faster and faster it beat,
And said, now this is the moment
To throw myself at her feet.
Yes, yes. | said, will ask her,
For now is the chance, see,
To give-the beautiful darling
Her hand and her heart to me.
But she looked at the clock. and she asked

Too Much for Ned.

Governor Nichols, of Louisiana, as
most people know, has lost an arm and
leg, but so deity have the artificial
members been fitted to the stumps that
but few people are in the secret of his
loss. His colored body servant was
left behind on the occasion of visit
in Vicksburg, and they put at his dis
posal during his stay there a likely
young lad, who was told to try and
take the old body servants place. That
night, when Governor Nichols was
ready to retire, he stretched out one
of his legs to Ned the servant and
said. Ned, unscrew that leg" Ned's
eyes began to open with horror, but
he obeyed. and took the leg off.
Governor Nichols then said, calmly
stretching out an arm, Ned, unscrew
that arm" The boy rolled up his eyes
until nothing but the whites could be
seen, but he obeyed and unscrewed the
arm. The governor, who now realized
his condition of mind, determined to
have little fun with him, so, reaching
out his neck, he said, Ned, unscrew
that head" But the boy never waited
to see whether his head would come off
or not, and no one ever succeeded in
getting him TO go near Governor Mich
oils again. He said he was the worst
'hoodoo" that he ever saw.-Cincin-
