A butcher calls at the door and offers

ever, that it is against her rules to pay
for any article until the whole of it is
eaten. The butcher, knowing that there

hams just as finely cured as his, rue
fully accepts the terms, and when a
price is settled departs.
After keeping the ham for two years
in a dusty, musty cellar the housekeeper
returns it to the butcher soiled and

prefers fresh meat, and she has decided
not to cook the ham,

A gentleman living in metropolitan
suburb was strolling down one of its
streets when he came by chance across
couple--a man and woman-whom
he Immediately recognized as having
been his fellow passengers in steamer
crossing the channel His "reminiscences
were not of particularly agreeable ma
ture, for he lost no time in getting them
arrested, The talewhich be unfolded to
the police commissary waaas follows;
The steamer had hardly left the Eng
fish port en- route to the shores of France
when he and about 80 other companions
In misery were seized with all the
symptoms of NAL de mer. The only trav-
eler who seemed exempt from suffering
was the man who had been arrested.
He paced the deck with the utmost COM
plaeency, now and then taking from q
bonbon box lozenge, which he swal-
lowed with apparent satisfaction. The
woman in whose company he was met
in Paris acted ON the steamer as if she
was perfect stranger to him, and she
seemed indeed to be the greatest victim
of them all. So intense was her suffer-
ings that the man walked up to her and
offered her one of the lozenges, deolar-
ing that they were a sovereign remedy
against seasickness. She took one, and
in the course of few minutes said that
she was completely cured, and soon her
fellow passengers beheld her discussing
with considerable relish plate of sand
wiches washed down by bottle of
stout.
One after the other they begged the
possessor of the marvellous lozenges to
favor them with one. ''It SO happens
that I am the inventor, he replied,
"and as l have few boxes with me ]
shall be most happy to oblige you with
them at the rate of 20 francs each.p
The unlucl1y passengers, whose misery
had in the meantime rather increased
than otherwise, enthusiastically well
coined the offer, and soon all the boxes
were sold, the gentleman from the sub
urbs being the purchaser of one.
But somehow the lozenges had no eff
feet Not one of the buyers was to be
seen calling for stout and sandwiches,
and the whole party did not get to the
end Of their troubles until they were
once more safely on terra firma The
suburban gentleman had the lozenges
analysed, and they were found to be or
binary jujubes. Chance had thrown the
couple in his way, and he told the po-
lice commissary that he was quite sure
that they had acted this comedy for the
purpose of getting money out of their
fellow passengers The man and the
woman both declared at first that the
suburban one must have mistaken them
for another couple, but afterward they
made full confession. Oddly enough
they had gone to the suburb to inspect
a house which they had thought of buy
ing with the proceeds of the sale Of
many boxes of jujube lozenges in nu-
merous passages across the silver streak
