What Wit Lis.

No one has ever told us exactly what
wit is. DR.. Isaac Barrow, a famous
English divine and man of brilliant
wit himself, has given the best definition
yet known, and he confesses that ''often
it consisteth in one hardly knows what. "
He says, in his old fashioned style:
Sometimes it lieth in pat allusion
to known story, or in seasonable appli-
cation of trivial saying or in forging
an opposite tale. Sometimes it playeth
in words and phrases, taking advantage
from the ambiguity of their sense or the
affinity of their sound; sometimes it
lurketh under an odd similitude; some
times it is lodged in sly question, in a
smart answer, in quirkish reason, in a
shrewd Imitation, tart irony, lusty
hyperbole or startling metaphor; some
times an affected simplicity and some
times a presumptuous bluntness giveth
it being; sometimes it arises from a
lucky hitting upon what is strange;
sometimes from a crafty wrestling OF
obvious matter to the purpose"
Isn't this excellent? Study this clause
and find u witticisln to match it. l
have not given the entire definition, but
just enough to stimulate some one to
look it up for himself.-New York Home

Curious Legal Tender.

Almost every age and tribe, as well as
every epoch, has had its peculiar cur
rency or medium of barter and exchange.
Not only gold, silver, copper, brass, iron,
lead and paper, but such out of the way
articles as bits Of glass, shells, beads,
stones, soap, bits of various colored cloth
and numerous other objects, some of
them absolutely valueless to our way of
looking at the matter.
The Burmese, Karens, Hangese and
Ghans have no coined money, lead and
silver in bullion being the ordinary ten
der in trade, weight and purity being the
standard of value For long time salt
was the ordinary money of the Abyssin-

quently designate them as "Mary Jane" !"
A household wherein the skirt form had
come to be called 'tMiss Susan" had an
amusing experience ON account of it.
The form had been lent, and a new
coachnan had just driven up with some
of the family, when the skirt form was
remembered. He was directed to drive

and come back with her in a hurry.
After long delay, the carriage drove

He Wanted a Dollar.

Tax Collector Stewart comes in for his
share of amusing incidents. The other
day fat, little, undersized, gray headed
negro man waddled into the apartment
for taxpayers. It was early in the morn
ing and he was the only taxpayer there.
By getting on tiptoes the old negro could
Just peep through the window between
the apartments; but no one in the tax
office seemed to see him. At last MIR.
Stewards attention was attracted by
various and sundry noises.
"What is it uncle?' asked Mr.. Stewart.
"Mawnin, boss, mawnin. l jes' want
ed ter fin out how much my ole lady's
tax wuz, boss. I'm bout sho' it's erbout
six-forty."
Mr.. Stewart consulted the tax books.
"Only five-forty."
"Boss," said the old fellow in dubious
tone, "Ispecs you better look ergin. I'm
sho' it mus be six-forty."
In spite Of all the old tax collector
could say the old fellow handed him
$6.40. The tax collector returned the
old man a dollar and gave him re-
ceipt.
"Thankee, boss, thankee," said the old
negro when he saw the dollar returned.
He pocket the dollar and departed with
the receipt.
The next morning Mr.. Stewart met
tho same old negro fellow on street
Car. When the negro saw Mr.. Stewart
he broke into a laugh.
"Look here, uncle; why did you want
to pay more tax than was necessary!

George ". Childs and several other mil
lionaires to donate many OF their best
and rarest plants to the fair.
1t goes without saying that this de-
partment will be magnificent success.
Experts in that line say it will be the
greatest show of fine flowers ever seen
in the world. A million pansies, mil
lion roses and uncounted millions OF
flowers, plants and palms OF all chimes
will be shown. There will be sixteen
acres given to this exhibit and ten OF
them will be on the wooded island on
which the mammoth Horticultural Duild-
ing is to stand. The shores of the is
land will be left wild for scenic effect
and the waters around it will be bright
with water lilies and other aquatic
plants, while the interior will be artis-
tically planted with lilies, rhododen-
drons, roses and other flowers.
Jay Gould now has the most complete
botanic garden in the United States,
containing many hundred exotic plants
to be seen nowhere else in North Amer
lea, and of those he agrees to contribute
the very finest to the fair. Mr.. Thorpe
was the organizer of the Society Of
American Florists, has done much work
in his line in England and is known to
horticulturists all over the world. When
he took up the chrysanthemum it was
described as 's1nall and colorless." !"
There are now 1900 varieties catalogued,
with bewildering variety of shapes and
colors. When he took up the carnation
there were but three varieties, now there
are thousand. He has been in the
business all his life, and his friends are
enthusiastic over his success at Chicago.

Their vesper hymn, when DER the waves
Game your voice sweetly ringing.
NV heart was hard with stubborn pride,

But pitied still the sinner.
You sang little, simple song

Your song sung by the riverside,
Converted one base sinner!
