SOME CLEVER CATCHES.

y young lady was once talking with
a very young and smart man, who
was inclined to air his knowledge of
the languages Il little beyond what
she felt that modesty required, says Il
writer i'll Harper'S TOHng People,
She therefore said to him, with an
air of Difference to his superior at
tainmentS
You are Latin scholar | wish
you would tell me how to pronounce
the word 'so-met-i-mes.'
The youth, with an air of kindly
patronage, replied, Il have not met
the word i'll my Latin reading; but
| have no hesitation in saying that
that it should be pronounced sonnet
lines giving it in four syllables,
the accent on the secondly
Thank you for telling me, replied
the girl. demurely. Il have always
heard it pronounced sometimes but
if you say the other way, that must
be right"
This is similar to the perhaps fam
iliar catch of the pronunciation of
"bac-kac he" which will often sur
prise the uninitia,e'l by proving to be
only ''backache." 1t also reminds
one of Il question printed some years
since as to the way of spelling need
to Ned bread. The average person
will reply, "k-n-c-a-d,' of course
But the answer will he, That is the
way to spell 'kne.lI' dough, but not
to need bread.

4 "CHfR1CTER" IN FRANCE.

Recently a French gentleman, reply
ing to an inquiry by lady concern
ing the character and qualification of
a woman who had applied to her Tor
the position of cook, and who had
lately been in the gentleman's service,
said that he could not recommend
the applicant that she was ''extrava-
CANT, impertinent and somewhat
given to drink" The lady gave the
letter to the applicant for the COOKS
position, who Immediately brought
suit for damages against the writer
The case was decided against he
writer of the letter, who was fiji ed
and admonished that he had no ri, hit
to give circulation to injurious STAGE
ments concerning another person,
even if the char ges were true.
In order to evade the responsibility
thus introduced in French law, house
keepers have taken to issuing such
recommendations as this:
This certifies that Nine. Hortense,
late nurse to my son, aged one year,
did not leave him on bench at the
Jardin dies Plantes and go away AMI
forget him on the Goth of August
last"
The certificate is intended to be
taken in the contrary sense, and
serves its purpose without laying the
writer open to suit for damages.

SQUIRREL STORY.

I've got true squirrel story to tell
you, said member of the club the
other evening. A friend of mine hav-
ing a cottage on the shore af Oneida
Lake left a cornstarch box or pack
age in the pantry. There was a little
cornstarch remaining in it, and to Sc
cure it against mice he box was plac-
ed inside of tall pitcher having Il
very smooth surface. My friend was
at the cottage again few days after
and bethought himself of the corn
starch. Upon examining to see if the
mice had got at it, the box was found
standing ON end in the pitcher as left,
but it was filled TO the brim with
sweet acorn meats, all shelIed and as
nicely laid away as any person could
have done it. and not one was found
in the pitcher outside of the box
Those squirrels must have expended
a good deal of abor and worked faith
fully TO have accomplished the job
III so short IL time. OF course the
accrns were not disturbed, but left
for the squirrels winter subsistence.

4 LCChI CLERK.

Half u century ago Il clerk i'll New
York city was wont to take down the
shutters of the store ut precisely 6
o'clock in the morning. W.IIle he was
taking them down. Ia. ii or shine, Il GER
tain old gentleman almost always pass
ed by on his way to his place of bust
ness. The old gcnticm III smiled so
benignantly upon the young man
that Il hearty an, fun liar good
morning became natural to both.
Month after month this mutual greet
ing continued. until one morning the
old man was missed and he never APP
peared again. He was dead Not
long afterward the enterpriSing
and faithful clerk was waited upon
by the administrator of the old mans
estate and informed that his store
and stock of goods had been willed
to him.
Attracted by the youths prompt
ness and fidelity. the old gentleman
Lad inquired into his character and
circumstances and was satisfied that
he could leave his property TO no one
SO likely TO make K cd Use of it as
the clerk who took down the shutters
at Just & o'clock, summer and winter.
Through this legacy the clerk was
introduced into n profitable business
at once and he afterward became one
of the most wealthy, benevolent and
respected merchants of the city.

Once there were two tramps who
We're actually looking for work. In
the course of their wanderings they
came upon n pile of coal in front of d
palatial residence.
Said the tramp with the inferior
intellect, LET us engage ourselves to
stow away this fuel at price of
twenty-five cents" Nay, nay"
said the tramp of superior intellect;
''let he go within and negotiate"
And he did negotiate and secured
the job at the rate of fifty cents, of
which sum he gave one-half to his
companion TO perform the necessary
manual labor, reserving one-half unto
himself for experimenting operations.

Fun IN PARLIAMENT.

An amusing story is told of n certain
occasion in the House of Commons,
when one Thomas Massey moved that

ish expression the more Saxon one

WHAT MEN and VOMEN TELL.

There is one radical difference be-
tween men and women that lit may
be said generally of novelists, that
men know more than they tell, and
women tell more than they know -
1t may be true of novelists. In real
life neither tells all he or she knC rs,
and the difference shows in what they
keep.
y woman tells the thing that is not
vital She will tell some one almost
every detail of her daily life, but let
her have Il heart story, and she not
only keeps it locked in, but she lives
as though it had no existence.
\ man scorns to relieve his mind of
little worries by asking for sympathy.
But let a great secret come into his
lifc-he dies unless he tells it to some
one He will do it even when it brings
him in the shadow of death or bitter
est disgrace.
