 Well. how arc you getting along:" ho asked.
 "Very nicely now, thank you, she replied, but it was very hard at first. "
 ''Is that so:''
 .'Oh, yes! You see, in the beginning I tried moral suasion as n coercive meas urc, but failing in that resorted to tangible instrumentality.
 "A what" gasped the simple minded trustee.
 "A tangible instrumentality, she replied swectly, "a good, stout. hickory switch, don't you know. ''-Detroit Frco Press

A Trial by Jury.

Some timc ago at Barnett county, N. C., Superior Court Judge Shipp presid ing, the trial of case had been pro- tracted till near midnight. The jury was tired and sleepy and showed fagging attention. Willie Murchison, who was addressing the jury, thought to arouse them. so he said:
 "Gentlemen. I will tell you an anec- dote.''
 Instantly the judge. the jury and the few spectators pricked up their ears and were all attention, as Murchison was admirable in that line, had fund of anecdotes, and no one could tell them better. But he soon proceeded to tell one of the dullest, prosiest and most pointlcSs jokes possible. Everybody looked disappointed. The judge, lean- ing over, said in an unmistakable tone of disappointment, Mir. Murchison, I don't see the point to that joke. v ''Nor I either" replied the witty counsel. But your honor told it to me on our way down kere, and as I thought the lack of appreciation must be due to my obtuseness I concluded to give the joke q trial by jury. ''-Atlauta Constitution.

CHEAP AT THE PRICE.
The Man at the Sandwich Islands Had
 Posted Him.

Posted Him.
 He made a hearty meal at ono of the restaurants near the Third street depot, and as he rose up with his hand in his pocket he said to the proprietor:
 1.-Two years ago. in the Sandwich Is- lands, met a man from this town"
 'The bill is 55 cents," said the pro- prietor as he crooked his finger.
 "Yes. I know. And the man casual ly observed that some day or other l might find myself in this town"
 "Please hand over your bill, sir. :"
 Certainly, and he added that if ever did and felt hungry and was dead broke to call on you. He couldn't TO- member your name. but he said you were called the man with the big heart"
 ''I want 55 cents, sir, exclaimed the proprietor.
 II know you do. And the man added that, while you didn't profess to run an orphan asylum, you never refused to chalk it down in the case of an unfor- tunate. You may put my account on the slate.
 "You pay cash or get the boot" said the proprietor us he came out from be- hind the counter.
 That was another matter he referred to-" continued the stranger. 'He said that at rare intervals you gave a man the boot, but the kicks were few in number and lightly administered. If in your judgment"-
 ''In my judgment I'll kick your heels over your headr' shouted the proprietor as he seized him and led him to the door.
 "The Detroiter whom I met in the Sandwich Islands said that you some times clustered and blowed around, but it was only for moral effect.
 "I'll moral effect you, you old dead beat Take that, and that, and thatr'
 Seven vigorous kicks were admins tered, the last of which lifted the man into the street. He crossed over, turned about on the curbstone and called across:
 "I counted 'em, and they were only seven. Seven times eight are 56, or not quite cents q kick. Say, old man, l like your large hearted and liberal way of doing things. Call it even cents a kick and femme come over and eat $50 worth of grub. ''-Detroit Free Press.

How much money is annually expended in the United States for alcoholic drinks IS not known. All the information in re- gard to it is simply conjecture. but in England they appear to have given the subject more study. and the conclusion reached by a we'll known s.atistician is that the amount spent in that country for such beverage is s7OO. .OUO. 900. Either the aristocracy and the we'll to do commoners must be great imbibers. or the poorer classes have more money to spend for liquor than they have been credited with having for food.

BECAUSE.

Tho eyeball Is white because the blood vessels that feed Its substance arc so small that they do not admit the rcd corpuscles.
 A match ignites because of the heat
 generated by friction. Matches arc tipped with phosphorus and sulphur, both high ly intiammablo substances.
 A pint of tho oil of vitriol mixed with n
 pint of water will not fill quart meas
 ure because the bulk of tho compound has
 been reduced by the abstraction of latent heat.
 A piece of phosphorus sprinklcd with
 dry powdered charcoal ignites almost in-
 stantly because the charcoal absorbs oxy-
 gen from the air, and so produces higher
 temperature.
 People wink because the eye must be kept clean and moist, and by the action of
 the eyelids tho fluid secrctcd by the glands
 of the eyes is spread equally over tho sur
 face of tho globe
 The apparent depth of water is always
 deceptive because the light reflected from
 the bottom Is rcfractcd as it leaves the wa
 ter. Water is generally about one-third deeper than 1t appears to be. Tho perfume of flowers is more clearly perceived just before or just after a rain
 because the air, being then laden with moisture, better conveys tho essential oils that constitute the perfumes. Sounds can be heard over water to much greater distances than on land because the smooth surface of the water offers less impeachment to the passage of the mir vi- brations. On calm days the booming of artillery nt sea has been heard for 25O miles
 The toy called the wcathcrcock Is made | with piece of catgut because this mate | rial becomes longer or shorter ns it absorhs or parts with moisture. When it shrinks, it turns n rod which sends tho man out of the house. When it dries, tho action Is re- versed, and the woman appears.-St. Louis Globe Democrat. How He Knew.
