Ans Wen That Ends Well.

Mrs. Foster was from New England and
regarded life very seriously, never Sinking
or turning back from the path Of duty
which lay before her, but she never real
lied that French was at all necessary until
she visited Paris. Then she had to rely on
a phrasebook, which relieved her mind Of
all care, but greatly exercised the mental
powers of the natives with whom she came
in contact. Her nephew, who was study
ing art in the French capital, secured for
her an invitation to reception given by a
famous FiSnch artist.
Mrs. Foster went, accompanied by her
nephew land the phrasebook). She thought
the knew just where to open 1t and read
her lines. She was introduced in French
to the artist. He spoke in French, her
nephew replied in French, until the dear
old lady got bewildered. But she felt that
she must say something, so she opened
the inevitable book and read off the first
sentence which met her eye, giving 1t the
true New Hampshire twang The artist
smiled sweetly her nephew also smiled
sweetly, but as Mrs. Foster saw the trans
lation in italics after the sentence she near
ly tainted.
As her nephew led her away, however, he
congratulated her upon her introduction
and her knowledge of the language.
But, Henry" cried his Mortified aunt,

Her nephew smiled-he would have liked
to laugh "Oh," he replied, did your Well,
auntie, it doesn't matter, for he asked me
what in thunder you said, and told him
didn't know."-Harpers Magazine.

Plenty of Wind.

During Pennsylvania 'long parliament"
the session of the legislature which con-
vened in January, lSS3-there were good
many things done and said which have
never appeared in print, and which their
authors have taken especial pains should
never besJme history. Some, however,
would bear repetition, and we give one.
The representative from the Sixth legisla-
tive district, located in the city of Phila-
delphia, was the Hon. Hugh Mackin.
Among the others in that body were the
Hon. Mr.. Sp-r of Perry and the Hon. Mr.
McN-a of Bedford, both of whom were
ready debaters, and both of whom spent a
good deal of time on their feet Once IN
debate Mr.. Sp-r, in the course of his re-
marks, referred to the fact that he and the
honorable gentleman from Bedford were
born upon the same day.
"Mishter Shpeaker," said the gentleman
from the Sixth district as he arose, did
undershtahnd the gentleman from Perry
to say that his birthday fell aim the same
day as the gentleman's from Bedford"
The house quieted down, and Mr.. Mackin
was assured that such was the fact.
Then, Mishter Shpeaker, ! rise to re-
mark thot it must ha' been u domned windy

Justice HOrnblower.

w. II. Hornblower, the new supreme
court justice, is little man physically
that is, he comes only about up to the
shoulder of all ordinary man. To make up
for it, however, he has a most extraordi-
nary nose. 1t is very long and very thick
and comes down almost to the end of his
upper lip. Otherwise Mr.. Hornblower looks
more like clergyman than like lawyer,
trait probably due to his early training.
His father is preacher, and he himself
studied for the ministry before he turned
his attention to the law.-Chicago Herald
