FAITH OF JEFFERSON.

He Was Thoroughly Democratic In His
Social Life.
jefferson very suddenly put an end to
all ceremony and all recognition of for
eign rules Of precedence, especially
those based on titles of nobility. His,
political principles were democratic,
and he wanted it understood that his
manners were also democratic. He re-
ceived Mr.. Merry the British minister,
in slippers without heels. Of this Mr..
Merry complained in an official letter
to his chief. He also complained that
when jefferson invited him to dinner,
the president did not take in Mrs.
Merry, but Mrs. Madison, the wife of
the secretary of state, who did the
honors Of the white house. The presi-
dent also violated rule Of interna-
tional courtesy on this occasion, by in-
viting to dinner NJ. Pichon. the charge
Of France, with which country Mr..
Merry's was then at war. There was a
very small diplomatic corps at Wash
ington at that time. Besides Mr.. Mer-
nv and M. Pichon, there was the Mar
outside Yrujo Spanish minister
and Danish charge d'affairs. Mr..
Madison followed the presidents exs
ample, and so deeply offended all the
foreigners that the won formed q
conspiracy to resent what they regard

FINNISH CoNUNDRUMs.
A Language Which Lends Itself to the Pul

A Language Which Lends Itself to the Pur-
poses of Poesy and Song.
One favorite occupation for home
leisure in Finland, in addition to their
Characteristic music. is the proposing
and solving of enigmas. Here are two or
three specimens of that species of puzzle:
Born at the same time as the world,
destined to live as long as the world,
and yet never five weeks old. (The
moon.)
Narrow gulf and long promontories,
each terminated. by a rocky plateau.
(The fngers.)
A burden fatigues him, and yet he
does not carry it. "a rover with his
laden boat.)
Travelling over the country like a
king, he yet visits each year the most
humble hut. (Christmas.)
Unable to think, unable to speak, yet
tells the truth to all the world. "a bal
ance, or pair of scales.)
The last of these is sometimes varied
by describing the object as without
tongue, without mind" ETC..
White field and black harvest. "a
written sheet of paper.)
From these samples it will be seen
that the enigmas of the Finlanders are
not difficult, sometimes capable of
more than one answer, and such
sharp readers may multiply for them
selves ad lib. Their proverbs are also
simple and obvious, as Time stops for
nobody, borrowing up without correc-
ton, they will die without honor"
''aVho asks his way does not lead him
self astray." as well as others almost
literally corresponding to those famil-
lar in our own land.
Fl But it is in poesy and song that the
Finnish people most excel. Their Ian
guage admirably lends itself to these
purposes alike from its sonorous char
acter and the richness of it's vocabu-

Curious Oak Tree In Georgia.

A resident of Augusta, Ca, has an
oak tree growing upon his place which
is not unlike other trees of that species
in general appearance. Instead of pro-
tducing the regulation acorn, however,
it is annually loaded with peculiar for
nations as unlike the natural produc-
ton of such trees as one could imagine.
AS a general rule the cup of an acorn
is. as large or larger than a thimble,
covering at least half of the acorn
proper, but in this case the tiny recep-
tacles is not larger than pea, and in
stead of being constructed SO as to
hold but single nut or kernel, con-
tains from three to five small ones, the
number seeming to vary with the dis
tance from the ground, the cups on the
lower limbs being uniformly filed with
three of the tiny acorns. Botanists Of
national repute have pondered over this
SYLVAN oddity, and old settlers, noted
hunters and woodmen in general have
visited the wonder and left without
even attempting to name the variety of
oak to which it belongs. st. Louis Re-

RELlsHED SOAP SANDWICHES.

A Dry Goods Porter Ate Them Contents
cdly and Didn't Learn the Joke Until
Afterward.
Ut all the harum-scarum youngsters
that ever came across, said well
known dry goods merchant recently,
the worst, I believe, were in my en-
ploy until last week. I had to dis,
charge them-three office and stock
boys-at once, in order to restore peace
in the esta blishment.
The ringleader was about seventeen
years old, and worked in the stock.
His position brought him in contact
with the head porter, and between the
two there was continual warfare It
started, believe, in practical joke of
the boys.
One warm day last y miner the por-
ter had laid his shirt aside in the eel
lar: We happened to have there an
old stencil, used to mark cheap
bleached muslin for export. The boy
stole the shirt and stenciled on it Mo.
hammmed Bleached Muslin Then he
called all the other boys and they be-
gan to jeer the porter, accusing him of
stealing samples for his shirts. The
porter is as honest as the day is long,
but the continued nagging preyed up
on him, and at last he came to me, the
shirt in one hand and the stencil plate
in the other. OF course I laughed at
! the matter.
But the boy did not rest at that. The
porter was in the habit of eating his
lunch in the cellar. He brought it
with him in the morning and slowed it
away in closet until the noon hour.
He was very fond of cheese sandwiches.
One day the young scapegrace of boy
stole the lunch for a while, and taking
a bar of yellow soap, cut generous
slices from it. He then removed the
cheese and substituted the slices of
they all secreted themselves to watch
Tom eat.
My porter must have a strong stom-
Ach. He ate the sandwiches without
detecting the soap. Then to the disap-
pointment of the boys, he turned over
on the top of case, put his coat under
his head and prepared to take nap.
This was too much for the boys, and
they pelted him with balls of Irvine,
wads of paper and the like.
The man awoke and chased the boys
for ten or fifteen minutes Then Tom
became ill, and had to leave for the
day. The story came to my ears, and
following, as it did, SO many other
pran]ls, I concluded that it was best to
turn the young rascals out-N. Y.
