HE HAD A CORK LEO.

Why a Man Squeezed the Foot OF a
Young Lady.
"a cork leg is no end of bore, said
O man who limped to writer. "Just
think of it, was at a dinner party
the other night, and it was my happy
lot to have C. most charming damsel
fall to my share at the feast. We con-
versed most pleasantly through the
oysters and the soup, but when the
fish came on she became silent and
seemed unaccountably embarrassed.
To draw her from this mood / redoub-
led my efforts to please, but in re-
Spouse she only flushed and looked
angry. Finally, interrupting me in
the midst of little mot which l had
composed carefully while dressing for
the dinner, she said Indignantly,
though soto voce.
"Sir, will thank you to stop squeez-
ing my footl"
Imagine my embarrassment! Ihad
been treading on her toes with my
cork foot-of course without knowing
it. Could anything have been more
innocent? 1t is all annoying thing to
haveto explain to a young lady on an
occasionof social festivity. Neverthe-
less, j was forced to so. She accepted
my apology, and then proceeded to
injure my feelings by Cycling"

Chinese Cheap Labor.

The servant girl question in Califor-
MIA is resolving itself into a. phase OF
the Chinese question. Servant girls
are a rarity and said to be becoming
more 30, and as tor the Chinese
"boy," he has learned to improve his
opportunity, SO far at least an wages
are concerned. Chinese cooks have a
union and conspire against their en-
ployers in true union style. When
the restriction laws went into force
up went wages from $40 per month
and board to $25 and $50, and the
tendency has been up rather than
down ever since. Forty dollars a
month is not uncommon for cooks
wages, and cases are cited where $50
is paid, and for only fair cooking at
that. The prospect before California
housekeepers IL this new scheme for
prohibiting all Chinese immigration is
carried through Congress is some
thing appalling for there is no telling
the place at which the demands OF
these kitchen magnates will STOP

Frult in enc middle Age..

1t Is a curious fact that In the Mid
die Ages England was horticulturally
much behind the continent OF Europe.
In Chaucer's time the English larder
was very meagrely supplied with veg
etables and but indifferently with
fruits. Onions leeks, nettles, peas,
and mustard were the only articles
that then figured In the short ,cata-
logue OF English vegetable supplies.
There Is no trace OF the existence OF
cabbage in England at this period
In the contemporary account OF or
chards there is no allusion to plums;
only once to damsons. The pears
were poor but the apples were good.
1t Is questionable whether cherries.
raspberries and strawberries had
crossed the channel.

HOW 1T WAS DONE.
why a Long windcd Lawyer Broke HIS
Argument Short on


A good story is related OF Hon. b.
Lawless, q former member OF the
Louisville bar and who came to this
city from Glasgow KY. He was
'long- and when he arose to
make an argument he didn't know
when to stop. On one occ aston he
was making a speech before Judge
Ballard in the United States court He
had spoken several hours and the
judge and everybody else were thor
oughly tired out though they were
helpless. At last Judge Ballard beck
oned his brother, Jack Ballard, to him
and implored him to stop Lawless II
he could.
'Oh, that's easy enough" replied
the brother. IN stop him inside Of
three minutes"
There was great deal OF curiosity
to see how this could be accomplished.
as the orator seemed to be nowhere
near the end Of his speech. Jack
Ballard took pencil and sheet OF
paper and wrote:
MY Dear Colonies: AS soon as you
finish your magnificent argument l
would like you to join me in the
clerks Office in bumper OF fine old
bourbon"
The note was handed to the orator
who paused at the end OF soaring
period. drew his glasses from his
pocket and read the note. lie put 1t
in his pocket and said:
And now. II you please. your
honor and you gentlemen Of the jury.
i leave the case with you" A
He picked up his hat and was In
the clerks Office in about minute.

"WashInR Day"

Monday has from time immemorlai,
by universal consent, been recognized
as washing day" but the writer has
grave doubts whether the selection is
wise one II it is the hardest day OF
the week for the person who presides
over the tubs, is it wise to put it at
the very beginning. of the six days,
when there shall be no opportunity to
recover from the fatigue? Would it
not be better that it should come at
the close OF the week, just before the
day of rest? But still stronger argu-
ment would seem to be, that it re-
quires more or less work on the Sab
patchwork which might either come
before or after that day, leaving. in
fact, one day in the seven in which
the wife as well as the husband, may
throw off the care OF that branch OF
which she bears the unceasing burden
during the remaining six days.
However, If Monday is to be the
day, the work OF preparation must
begin on Sunday; the clothes must be
gathered, sorted, and as usually treat
ed, put to soak" But included in
this work OF preparation is the look
ing over of the various articles, and
there will also be mending to do in num-
erous cases, ink, grease and other
spots to be treated; and here is found
yet another argument for doing this
work on Monday in connection with
certain other duties, and putting the
washing itself over to Tuesday,
