himself off to him as Smith, then a

related, in the presence of some friends,

There is very pretty story to the
effect that the word queer" came into
our language through hoax. I forgot
who the alleged perpetrators were
Thomas Hood perhaps-but the story
goes that a wager was made to the eff
feet that the maker of it could set all
London to talking within "a hours. He
accordingly had painted on fences,
houses, sidewalks and all vacant spaces
the letters, 60 QUEER. 'tWhy,
what is that?'' everybody asked And
the response was that it was queer"
hence everything that seemed strange
after that was called queer" 1t is a
good story, and perhaps it is not fair to
explode it by saying that our word
"queer'' comes directly from the Ger

TURNING The TABLES.

Ground.

The Negro Met the Lawyer on His Own
Ground.
A Kentucky lawyer was standing on
the steps of the Covington postoffice the
other day, when an old colored man
came up and touching his hat asked:
kin you tell me is dis de place
where dey sells postage stamps?''
Eyes, sir. This is the place. replied
the lawyer, seeing q chance of little
quiet fun, t'but what do you want with
postage stamps, uncle?''
s'To mail 1. letter, sab, of course. -
well then, you needn't bother about
stamps. You don't have to put any on
this week. -
81 don't?
mo, sir. -
"Wby--for not?''
"Well. you see, the conglomeration
of the hypothenuse has differentiated
the parallelogram so much that the con-
sanguinity don t emulate the ordinary
effervescence, and so the government
has decided 10 send letters free. -
The old man took off his hat dubious
ly, shook his head and then, with a
long breath, remarked:
''WelJ, boss, all dat may be true, an
I don't say it amt, but just 'posen dat
de eckcentrieity of the aggregation tran
substantuates de ignominiousness of de
puppindiceler and sublimites de pus-
picuity of de consequences-don' you
qualifcate dat de government would
con1iscate dat dare letter? l guess I'd
jest better put some stamps on anyhow,
fer lucki''
And the old man passed solemnly

Parmesan cheese, two ounces of flour,
little salt and cayenne pepper, and
the yolk of one egg. Roll this mixture

strips, place upon buttered tins and

before placing on the table the stravvs
are thrust through the rings, forming
