Reading Aloud In the family.


The New York Press in an editorial
discusses the subject of "a Home Ac'
complishment," in which the writer
argues that in these days of wider in
terests, in which the various members
of family are to greater or less eX-
tent diverted from attractions by the
multitude of outside claims, there
should be special effort made to
strengthen the home ties, and bring
nto close companionship the individ-
nails of the household. This compan-
ionship may be brought about in var1'
Gus ways.
Conversation, intelligently directed,
sometimes games of skill, but of all
methods the best. says the Press, is
reading aloud.
I'm these daysof hurry and hustle
it is true many of us-perhaps most OF
us-have a feeling that we have not
time for reading aloud; one can read so
much faster and get through so much
more by ones self. If the object of
reading be to get through the largast
amount of printed matter in the short
est space of time, this is certainly a
fatal objection to the practice of read
ing aloud. A moments consideration,
we believe, will show that there are ad'
yantages that far outweigh the objec'
tions."
The writer also thinks that reading
aloud will do much to rehabilitate the
'sIost artn of consideration.

An American Legend.

Once upon a time, as the sage was
seated in his cave of wisdom, he was
approached by young man with long
hair and dropping eyes and classical
face, who bore a painting under his
arm, and was evidently full of sorrow.
What is thy grief, . youthP" kind
ly inquired the old man, as he turned
upon him with a benign expression.
80 wise man, / am an artist-a
young and rising artist, against whom
the press has conspired with evil in
tent. The critics have determined to
destroy me. Here is my masterpiece.
See! In the foreground a maiden
milks cow"
"'Tis we'll" replied the sage, "except
that you have the maiden on the wrong
side of the COW. The cow was erected
by nature to be MIXED on the right
hand side, while your maiden is on the
left"
"But this is the new school, o sage!
WHAT'S the use of adopting the new
school if you are going to milk a COW
after the old-school fashionP"
"'1fs true, o youth, but what do the
critics say?"
"They call me an ass, and advise me
to die as soon as possible"
"And have you any objections
against dyingP"
"None in particular"
"Then, o youth, I would advise
with the critics, but be as gentle as
possible about it. Leave thy master
piece with me, and after thou art gone
l will try to turn the COW and the maid
around and sell the picture for tea
store chromo."
And the gentle artist went forth and
plucked thorn from a rosebush and
jabbed and stabbed and harassed and
annoyed his palpitating heart until it
ceased to beat and he was dead.-N

"Have you any secondhand shoesP"
inquired young lady at Louisville
shoe store.
"We don't sell secondhand shoes,
miss" said the clerk, shortly.
"No of course not. l didn't want to
buy them, but if you happened to have
any that had been left here by persons
buying new ones, you know" she sug-
gested mysteriously.
"Oh, certainly. Here are pair of
buttoned boots-kid-but quite worn
out. Would they doP"
"What number are they?"
"Twos-small twos at that. And
here is one bronze slipper-thirteen,

"But thirteen is an unlucky num-
ber," she said, anxiously.
"Not in shoes, miss, and here is q

much" and she proffered the clerk
payment for the refuse shoes.
"There is no CHARGE" he said, as he

"Mercy, no! My sister is to be mar
ried this evening, and we want them
to throw after the carriage. Our own
are all new, and it must be an old

Not Such Chump as the Jokers Took
Him to Be.

I was engrossed in my magazine as
Harper's Weekly, and did not notice
that bride and groom had entered
the car at small station; but my at
tention was attracted to the couple in
rather an odd way-by telegraphic
signals.
Two young men who sat opposite to
each other across the aisle were max
ing remarks about them by ticking
with their pocket knives on the metal
arm of the seat.
Sweet as peach. isn't sheP" ticked

mo; but they are exchanging love
glances-"
"How on earth do you suppose such
a chump like that managed to catch
such an angelo"
"Give it up. She surely couldn't see
anything in him 10 admire"
"Her lips were just made for kisses"
"That's what they were"
"Say!"
"Well?"
@When the train gets to the next
tunnel I'm going to reach over and kiss
her."
"You wouldn't dare"
%Yes l would. She'd think it was
her husband, you know"
Their telegraphic conversation ceased
here, for the bridegroom had taken out
his pocket knife and commenced to
tick off this message on the arm of his
seat:
"When the train gets to the next
tunnel the ehump proposes to reach
over and hammer your two heads to-
gether till your teeth drop out. See?"
Soon after that two passengers might
have been seen sneaking off to the
smoking-car, and they remained in the
smoker not only while the train went
through the tunnel but until they
reached their destination.

Origin of Weeds.

Most of our weeds, like much of our
vermin have cone to us from beyond
the sea. just how they emigrate in
every case will never be known; some
came as legitimate freight, but many
were stowaways Some entered from
border lands on the wings of thewind,
on the river bosoms, in the stomachs of
migrating birds. clinging to the hairs
of passing animals, and a hundred
other ways besides by man himself,
Into the New England soil and that
south along the Atlantic seaboard the
weeds seeds first took root, Also the
native plants, with strong weedy ma
ture, developed into pests of the farm
and garden. Popular Science

And make them whistle, if you please.
When these are shelled chop not too

Butter some pie pans, set in line;
Then take pound Of sugar, turn

Zoo Free.

John Wilson Croker, a famous Enc
glishman of the early part of the CEN
tury, was satirical and witty and often
exercised his powers at the expense OF
others, for whose feelings he had no
consideration. His brilliant conversa-
ton procured him frequent invitations
to the table of George W., who liked
to be amused so long as humor was
kept within the limits of etiquette.
The author of Gossip of the Cen
tury" narrates how Croker was once
rebuked by the king for transgresslng
the laws of good breeding.
One evening after dinner when the
court was at Brighton, the company
scattered in groups and Croker found
himself in that of which the Duke of
Clarence, afterward William w., was
the center. The duke, then lord high
admiral and heir-presumptive to the
throne, was criticising the manage
ment of the admiralty. Croker at that
time was secretary to the first lord of
the admiralty and derisively styled by
naval men "the whole board of the
admiralty"
| "When am king" said the duke,
@I'u be my own first lord' and depend

secretary"
"Does your royal highness remem-
ber," replied Croker, "what English
king was his own first lordP"
NO, can't say do" answered the
duke.
"Wen, it was James H." said Crok-
er.
Those who were near enough to hear
the remark laughed at the sascastic
reference to the dethroned monarch.
1.-The king. who was pacing up and
down the room, called out:
"What's the joker One of your good
things, Croker, no doubt.
| mo, indeed, your majesty; but youl
royal brother is telling US what he
means to do in the navy when he
comes TO the THRONE" replied Croker
with the most uncourtierlike absence
of mind.
The kind withdrew without replying
and the next morning sent for Croker
to attend him in his bedroom.
"I was annoyed" said the king, will
severity, cat your exposing my broth
er's nonsense and your repeating wha
he said. Let me request there may b.
no recurrence of similar utterances
They are distasteful to me-"
Then the king held out his hand TO
the secretary to kiss and dismissed
him to ponder on the bad taste of tax
ing advantage of the royal favor
