One afternoon not many days
since, lad from the surrounding
fields and hedge-rows, came into
town to meet the trains and see the
wheels go round. There was moth :
ing especially striking in his ap.
pearance, but the gaudy sleeve
bands on his arms were "killers. F"
A pair of hose supporters, la
femme, served the purpose. The
pink elastic, tucked bows, frayed
tassels and engraved buckles showed
plainly that they were intended to
decorate the anatomy of the oppo-
site sex. In fact the whole garter
was la femme. By various move
ments and continued promenading,
this fellow advertised his rubber
business to the best advantage, till
a small boy from the top of a
neighboring box-car yelled "rube," /"
when the angry fellow fell back into
the crowd and was lost to the ad-
miring gaze of the girls in the wait
ing room.

poisonous, and when ripe is full OF

1t is thought by many that the
pointed -toed shoes with the razor
tip, SO universally worn now, and
especially in cities, is a regular
manufacturer of corns, bunions, in
growing nails and many other foot
products, when, to the contrary, it
is the easiest shoe that can be worn.
The last is exactly the shape OF the
foot. Business men and clerks who
have to stand great deal are using
them more and more. However,
if a young blood had stepped into
this world of fashion with a pair on
two years ago, the people would
have said that his brains were near
his shoes; using a slang expression,

What Dollar Bills Weigh.

Several customers were chatting in
Lafayette avenue groc ery store one
evening recently when the grocer
pointed TO half barrel of small beans
and asked how many of them it would
require to make bushel.
Various estimates were offered. One
man recklessly put the number down
at -, 900, which occasioned laugh
from all the others, who had guessed
n much lesser quantity, ranging all
the way from 5000 to 10000.
"Well, gentlemen" remarked the
grocer, you are all wrong. There
are approximately 119,0OO beans in a
bushel.
No one was inclined To- believe him
until he showed them that it took
sixty beans, selected at random, to
weigh half an ounce. The rest OF the
calculation was simple.
Now, then, said one of the party,
"since we are engaged in guessing
contests, how many dollar bills would
it take to weigh as much as n silver
dollar?"
One said 100, another said seventy
five, while the grocer, who knew all
about beans, put the figures Mt 800
