Geographical Joke.

The Japanese are very polite peo.
| pie, but they sometimes like to play q
joke, in n roundabout, oriental way
upon the men of the west. In the day.
of the second empire Baron Gros was
sent to Japan to demand the opening
OF certain ports to French commerce.
Among the rest he named to the
Japanese ministers a certain city.
The Japanese functionaries smiled SO
broadly when he preferred the request
that the French ambassador asked them
to tell him what gave them so much
amusement; but instead of answering,
the Japanese ministers said:
"We will open the port in question,
my lord, if France. in her turn, will
open certain port to u.s."
What port is that?" asked the
Frenchman.
''The port of Liverpool"
But, your excellencies," laughing,
''Liverpool is not n French port, but an
English one"
~ esq? answered the Japanese.
And the port you named to us is not
in japan, but in Cereal"

pelled TO admit that the joke was upon

The jollities before Lent continued,
and next night as midnight approached,
Mrs Cornell felt that although she
knew she had been frightened by
freaks of the imagination, and had
during the day permitted the servants
to go away, and had refused to allow
Emma to stay at home, yet now she
was growing uneasy. Stepping to the
door, she stood for moment and then

and inquired anXiously as to the cause

attention to her story OF "a tall lady

her description of the claI of chains

said:
"Oh. no; how could it be. when he
was with us nj the time she screamed?"
And a third added:

AT tho stroke of midnight Frank was

Says the Century Magazine: The
United States sells its forest lands at
81. 30 an acre, lumber companies in
directly acquiring square mile of land
for little over $1,000, while the timber
on it is often worth $40, 900. The
French Government forests return an
average profit of 81 80 an acre annually
from timber sales, or two and half
per cent. interest on the value of the
land. The United States now owns
only enough forest land to provide II
continual timber supply to its present
population, if fore 'ts are managed and

States is exactly in the position of Il
man making large drafts on and using
up an immense idle capital, which, if
properly invested, would return an in

stated: ''In fifty years you will have

According to this figure entertaining

The consumption, which was $3.50,
900 gallons in 1882, had risen to 49,

amount eighty per cent was imported

kerosene was introduced was bean or

however. that kerosene is cheaper and
