JOKES IN GERMANY.

Their Treatment by the Editor of q Fa-
 nous Humorous Paper.
 It often happens that jokes are sent which have already been published in F'liegende Blaetter, or which, indeed. may have originated in the office. The work of revision, therefore, re- quires constant and careful study of the files, though in spite of this many a ''shop-worn" item must needs be found pictured as novelty. An old German joke may be cited as good comrnen- tary on all jokes: To man twirling his thumb his companion remarked: Do you always do that?" No" is the answer, and the whirl is reversed; s'sometimes do this" And many a jokeais simply reversed, revised, or re- juvenated until the father thereof would hardly know his offspring.
 A curious circumstance that could be noticed only in such an office, but is there not infrequently remarked. Is the travelling capacity of joke. A joke may come first from Berlin; after few days it is sent in from Dresden; in the course of two or three weeks a month. perhaps-it comes from some quiet village on the Rhine; and some have even been known to go around the world in an incredibly short period. After each batch of jokes have been carefully read by several me n, and the old ones, the poor ones and those ruled out because they treat of politics or re- ligion, have been cast aside. the fairly good jokes that remain are sent to Julius Schneider to be finally passed upon. Some of these must be re- written, some must be thrown away, some must be illustrated, and some may stand alone upon their merits; and this final judgment requires the discretion and indefatigable industry which the editor of Fliegende Blae tier so fully ssesses.-Century.

REST CITY, ARK. FRIDAYeAFTERNOON JULY 2O 1894. N

Hiram only rubbed his hands and said, cheerily: She's right, Paul; your mother never will"
 He had an architect to draw the plans, and Mir. Dixon gave many sug- gestions. In time the house was fin. ished and furnished, even to a row of plants in the broad bay window. The old housekeeper knew the names of some favoYites, and even contributed a few herself, with much pride. At last Peter, harnessed to a low, easy carriage. was sent for the long absent wife Little Paul was the driver. and could scarcely contain his excitement His father had cautioned him to say nothing about the new house, for he had planned a surprise. Paul began to tell about the horse. Its yours, mother. your own. No one else can drive Peter unless you say so.s Isn't he fat? And the new carriage is all yours. Isn't it soft and springy?"
 Mrs. Blake could hardly believe her eyes. Of course she had heard some thing about the new building, but that anything so fine had been pre- pared for her, it would havess taken great faith indeed to believe. Her hus- band followed her from room to room with a delighted face. Quite tired out with going over the house, she sat down in the spacious living room be- fore the plants, one mass of bloom and fragrance.
 Some of them were Mir. Dixon's gift tc vo,, .nJ th;S ;c v,;oa ba o,,J ting into her hand a deed of the place, and a bank book made out in her name. with cash account of several thousand dollars.

 Perhaps you would like to be land lord of fat,v said the man who had been talking real estate. ''and think you had obtained desirable tenants. and were hugging yourself over the delightful knowledge that whatever other landlords had to endure, there would be no children in your flats. I rented to a couple the other day, and as usual asked if the family consisted of adults only.
 '''Oh, yes" chirped the young wom- an, and we don't want any children in the building-that is why we are will ing to pay your price.
 The man didn't sag anything. but I thought he looked queer.

 - Hardly, said he, in a six-room flat
 'still Thought there was something back of it. s
 ...Pets?'
 No, neither dog. cat canary nor parrot. They took the flat. and her widowed sister came from Nebraska with five boys to visit them. That was a year ago, and they are visiting them yet. and in consequence all the other hats remain empty. A tornado would be silence compared to the racket those boys make. ."- Detroit Free Press

THE UNITED PRESS SPECIAL TRAIN,
Over the Florida Central & Peuinsular R. R.
makes the Quickest Trip on Record
between Jacksonville and Savan-
nah-What the Atlanta Con-
stitution says about the
New Florida Short
line

Immediately after the fight on the
25th of January, the United Press cor
respondent took the train of the Florida
Central & Peninsular Railroad for Sa-
vannah, the object being to get the use
Of the wires at that point, the business
being too heavy for the wires at Jack
sonville. Every arrangement had been
made by the officials Of the F. G. & P.
to carry out the plan of the correspon-
dents, and this was done to perfection.
The start was made at 2 4o p n. from
Jacksonville, and, although the road
il new, the run was made in three
hours anI twenty-nine minutes, arriv-
iDg in Savannah at 6.l4 p. TO-, at least
forty six minutes in advance of any
other train from Jacksonville. AS
stated, the arrangements of the man-
agement of the road were such that
there were no delays of an unnecessary
nature.
The actual running time acas consider
a5ly less than three hours.
This line, the Florida Central q Pc
ninsular, is portion of the new route
between Jacksonville and New York,
and apropos Of the matter of speed, we
take the following from the Atlauta
Constitution of the 2Sth of January:
TEE QUICKEST YET.
The Corbett Train Makes Remarkably Time
to New York over the r & l.. Short Line.
The Richmond & Danville roads
new Florida Short line, which handled
all the prize fighters and their friends
to and from Jacksonville, did them
selves proud and made the quickest
run ever made from Jacksonville to
New York with the special Corbett
train. This train left Jacksonville at
II 20 o'clock a. NJ, central time, Fri
day, and at just $50 o'clock p. No.,
eastern time. yesterday rolled into the
Pennsylvania road station at Jersey
City, the actual running time being
twenty-seven hours, the quickest trip
ever made. The route is over the new
Florida Central & Peninsular road from
Jacksonville to Columbia, thence over
the Richmond & Danville and Penn
sylvania lines. This route handled
practically al! the travel from. the east
to the fight. and their very fine sched
ules will certainly win for the line {
large patronage. The lIae has only

WhY Hoods Wias.

President Lincoln said, "You cannot
fool the people second time" They
are too quick to recognize real merit or
lack of it, and cling only to those
things which they find to be what is
claimed for them.
It is especially gratifying that the
sale of Hoods Sarsaparilla increases
most rapidly in those sections where it
is best known. H.
The inference is plain. Hoods Sar-
saparilla has proven that it possesses
genuine merit. It maintains a high
standard, which others cannot even
approach. It is the peoples fayorite

practices. But even if it were necessari-
ly, still it would not follow that it is
worth while. There are higher satisfac-
tions than the mere getting Of money,
and riches cannot compensate q man
for the Consciousness of having lived a
dishouorable and selfish life.
Speaking of selfshness leads one to
speak of generosity. I think the habit
of generosity may be cultivated like
other habits. And have felt that it
is great mistake to put of being
generous until after you are dead. In
the first place, you lose the pleasure OF
witnessing the good that you may do:
and, again, no one can administer your
gifts for you as well as you can do it
for yourself. 1t is great pleasure to
be brought into personal relations Of
that kind. and to make people feel that
you are not philsnthropist in the ab-
stract but that you are interested in
them personally and care for their well
fare. In that way you benefit them
not merely in 8 natural way, but you
make them feel that men are really
brothers, and that they were made to
help one another. That feeling is not
only agreeable in itself, but it will be
apt to prompt them to carry ont the
principle themselves. Put yourself
into all you do and let others feel that
you are there. Do not contribute to a
charitable fund, but 60 yourself and
and help. It may seem an inconve-
nience at first, but soon you will come
to consider it worth any inconve-
nience.
Perhaps I ought to say a word about
the companions a young man should
choose for himself in life. You should
try to make companions Of the best
people you can become acquainted
with. In order to do this you must
have something in yourself that may
be a return to them for what they give
you. 1t is not necessary, for this pur-
pose, to be a genius, or have . remark
able intellect, or extraordinary erudi-
ton. But, be yourself and be a man,
and learn to think Of others before
yourself, and you will have friends
enough and of the best. To DO inti-
mate with the msgnanimous and the
noble aids to form those qualities in
oneself. A man is known by the COM
pany he keeps, and those who know
what friends you have will be able to
form very correct guess Of what you
yourself are. You should see to it that
his estimate be as high as your oppor-
tunity may secure.
But perhaps I cannot better sum up
advice to young people than to say
that I have derived, and still ind, the
pleasure in my life in doing good to
others. Do good constantly, patiently
and wisely, and yeu will never have
canse to say that your lie was not
worth living.
