what He was After.

One day when distinguished Michigan
statesman who spends his winters in Wash
ington was rusticating in his native village
he was visited by very raw specimen OF
the genuine Michigander who wanted an
appointment TO an Office at the capitol
The applicant was anything but elaborate
in his appearance, and his morals didn'tap-
pear to be vastly superior to his manners.
my dear fellow" said the congressman
suavely after the applicant had stated his
case, 81 can't do anything for you"
"Why can't youw urged the applicant
"You are a congressman and have some in
fuence, haven't youW

"Nothing, l hope, but don't you know in

The applicant gave a sniff Of contempt.

"What Pm after is an Office that viii orna-

There was no argument TO be offered
against this appeal, and the member agreed

Anunnnnrncinteh Lot.

The late Principal Tulloch's humor. ac
cording to his friend DR.. Boyd, was not al
ways appreciated. A bishops son was once
shocked at q story OF his in which he stated
with much gravity that lady had given
him O beautiful penknife. which he valued
highly. One day, in the Athenmum, he
laid il down on q writing table, and going
elsewhere lost sight of il for a few minutes.
When he returned to recover il, IL had van
ished, and Iulloch never saw 70 more. But
the terrible thing was that no mortal had
been near that fatal table save five or sis
bishops. Here the principal, in relating this
story, paused, and after the manner Of tho
great orators he left his hearers ~ complete
the sense. A pause followed, and Tulloch
resumed, 1T is very sad TO sly that the per
son who had been nearest my knife was the

Tic cunning of Tho Icft IIand.

Tho despised left hand makes good It's
claims In many cases to be the DETER OF the
two. The fingers that touch and adjust
with such nicely the strings Of tho violin
are surely as cunning as those that move
the bow. The hand that guides the reins
and spurs with exactness the horse through
the crowded streets is quite rs cunning as,
one might say much more than, the hand
that wields the whip. But great is fashions;
unanswerable is theory 1t would appear
that as life becomes more and more com
plex we are becoming more and more spo-
cialized, and the difference between our
limbs is encouraged, rather than hindercd,
by every pair of scissors turned on at Shei-
field, by every screw made In Birmingham
and by every slap administered 60 the
young offending fingers that would dare TO
shake hands incorrectly. Chambers Jour
