The Tailor,s Friend.

A New York tailor struck up an &C.
quaintance with local politician, and
they became constant companions. The
politician may be called Jones, and his
nickname is Bud, which stands for Ben
jamin. AS Bud the tailor met him, and
as Bud he has always known him. One
evening the tailor and his friend were
in an up town cafe, chatting and drink
ing, while another man kept a sharp
eye on them. Finally the two friends
parted, and then the third man hastily
approached the tailor ''Well, /" he said,
"did you get anything out of himP''
The tailor did not see the point. Ibid
you not say anything to him about max
ing payment" said the other. ''What
are you talking about?" answered the
tailor. "That's my friend, Bud Jones. -
''That may be, but he's Benjamin Jones,
who owes you $940. I've been trying to
find him for three weeks to collect it. -
tThe dickensl" said the tailor, 81
didn't know that. Guess you'd better
not try to collect that bill just yet. -.

Malice and Superstition.

In the middle ages malice and super
stition found expression in the forma-
tion of wax images Of hated persons,
into the bodies of which long pins were
stuck. 1t was confidently believed that
in that way deadly injury would DO
done to the person represented. This
belief and practice continued down to
the seventeenth century. The super
stition indeed still holds its place in
the highlands of Scotland, "where, 4"

The ways and means of insurance
agents for securing customers are many
and varied. The modus operandi seems
to be to get the victim interested and
then lombard him with argument, elo-
quence and statistics, and it is in the
first that the real genius of the business
comes in.
A merchant was writing at his desk
the other day when two of the craft en-
tered. Being we'll dressed and prosper

Ivory Carving In China and japan

In China and japan ivory has been
carved, the ivory balls inclosed inside
one another being specially noted.
Many theories have been formed as to
how these balls have been cut. Perhaps
probable one is that a ball of ivory
was taken, around the upper and lower
ends Of which four small holes were
carved out, gradually diminishing in
size toward the center uRsil the axis Of
the one hole met the axis Of the other
or lower one at right angles in the CEN
ter of the ball, and that then small
tools were inserted, and thin layer of
ivory, forming a part Of circle from
one hole to its lower corresponding one,
was cut and loosened from the whole
mass. Sc, gradually cutting from one
hole to the next one, complete inner
circle was eventually loosened, the cir
cles themselves afterward being cut into
the required pattern. Chambers Jour-
nal.

other with pure platonic love They go
to church together and ask the blessing
of the priest; they take each others hand,

each other "my sister my brother, The
relationship between these greeting" sis

You that have only eaten the berry,
Whatdo you know eli pleasure. pray2
But Il have climbed where the hours are airy,
The upward length of the windy way,
And II have leaned where the long vines
sway
And swing from the hand that has come to
carry
The very soul of all fruit away
In the ever kissed sphere of the first dewberry.
You that have only eaten the berry.
Pleasure has passed you along the way,
But found her out where she could but tarry,
Where the warmest, rarost and reddest ray
OF all the suns that shohe in May
ttole to shadowy hilltop eyre
Was incarnated one new June day
IN the scarlet heart of a late straw berry.
You that have only eaten the berry
On that highest hill, where the pines
gray,
Is place where pleasure has heart to parry
Pain for the length of long June day,
Where the tanglfng vines mako a glad delay
TIL our eyes, and our lips, and our hearts grow
merry
And troubles no more than vine to sway
Up out of the reach of a red raspberry.

You that have only eaten the berry,
Whatever of earth be yours today,
The hand of the Giver has been but chary,
And pleasure has passed you along the way.
