From Pearson's Weekly.
A well-known Bohemian visited his friend,
Prof. Price, at the ,11atter's laboratory. The
professor was examining a dark brown
substance spread on paper.

little bit of this on your tongue? My taste

Certainly" responded the ever-accom-
modating Harris. thrusting out his tongue

Roynl Tobacco Chewer.

Madagascar Letter in Cincinnati Tribune.
The queen is a Christian. but she chews
tobacco and expectorates in a silver vase.
She is seldom without a large chunk of
tobacco in her mouth and as she sets the
style in Madagascar all of the court ladies,
not to be 'outdone in the matter of fashion,
also have large chunks of tobacco in their
mouths. AT & royal function, where all
the ladies are chewing tobacco Industrious
ly, an American lady might be shocked,
but the Madagascar ladies regard it a
rare accomplishment, and the society buds
there are taught to chew with the same
care that American parents teach their
girls to dance or play upon the piano.
1t is one of the polite arts, and a lady who
does not chew is as badly handicapped
socially as a woman here who eats with
her knife.

Mr.. Carroll did not think it necessary to
leave his work and go home to see the little
stranger. Soon afterward another mes
senger arrived, and said
Its twins, Pat; two boys"
That's a good pair to draw to- Mr..
Carroll remarked with a smile. But his
face assumed 4 more serious aspect when d
third messenger came and announced that
the two boys had a little sister. Then. to
complete the establishment of the worthy
father, word speedily came that there were
two boys and two girls.
