An Accommodating Waiter.

A man driving spirited horse
stopped at downtown restaurant for
his dinner. The waiter who attended
him stood in the door admiring the
horse.
Bring him lump of sugar" said
the horses owner, dropping fee into
the walters palm.
The man went inside but soon re-
turned with bowl of lump sugar and
the accompanying tongs. AS the
borse opened his mouth for the treat
the waiter seized lump in the tongs,
and with his customary suayity asked
hurriedly:
"How many Jumps, sah?"
Then hearing the laugh at his ex-
pense, he hurriedly returned to the
restaurant. : Detroit Free Press.

The working inhabitants of the
Celestial Empire, as the Chinese please
to name their immense territory, are
not unlike other nations in their love
of amusements.
The Full-moon Festival makes every
city in China bright and joyous. The
moon-cakes are for sale everywhere ;
innumerable lamps shine from streets
and gardens and rivers; singing girls
go about the streets, and story tellers
gather crowds around them to listen to
their interesting tales of dead empe-
rors and heroes Punch and Judy meet
yonsat every street corner, and aero
sbhts and gymnasts perform to admir-
ing beholders.
But the grand festival held on the

Beautiful Thoughts.

A poet prayed for a beautiful thought,
Which he might make the theme
OF a song, as sweet to the ear it caught
As wood-bird's music, nature-taught,
Or the laugh from baby's dream.
To pray is good; to do. is best
Make, though thy voice be dumb,
A pure heart home within thy breast,
Where they, as sacred things, may rest,
And beautiful thoughts will come. n
