Good Enough for the Pig.

A well-known physician, himself an Irishman. relates the following, which, even though it be ancient is worth re- beating: The doctor was travelling in Ireland, and was compelled one night to put up at the hut of very poor peasant He sniffed mentally several times at the bare dirt floor, the smoky fire, the unwashed and numerous bare legged boys and girls; but recognizing the fact that even the gods fight not against necessity. he ate his ration of potatoes and withdrew discontentedly to his bunk. Then he saw what in the dusk of the room he had not before ob- served, lean and scraggy pig, squat ting contentedly under his bunk. It was the last straw. The doctor turned to the owner of the hut and said. in- dignantly:
 Look here, my man, you ought not to keep that pig in here. It isn't healthy"
 An phy tn divil not?" asked the owner of the pig. Sure. hasn't tn place iveryt'ing dacent pig nades?"- Boston Budget

 For the night cometh My Master. when Thy plying eye shall rest On all the record of my weary years Its fevered doubt, it's pain. its fruitless quest Is follies, wet with wild. repentant tears One grain of wheat may meet Thy searching

 'Jute nothing! That's real hair But it's mouth is too large and its cheeks are q little too red. They al- ways overdo it when they attempt to initiate nature"
 Its good imitation" said an old gentleman, surveying the figure crit ically through his glass; ''the best I ever saw. But the movement of the eyes is too mechanical. and one of them is trifie out of focus"
