THE IRONY OF FATE.

One Thing That Makes Woman Grow
Old Before iier Time.
He was a little old-fashioned in his
views, but he could draw check OF the
most delicious magnitude. He happened
to call one day when she had undergone
most explosive scene with her bill
paying parent, and she determined to do
1t that time or die.
"Oh, Mr.. Munnie- Baggsw she ex-
claimed. How glad am TO see you; you
are just III time to give me your opin-
ION. Tell me, do you consider it uu-
womanly to study the financial policy of
the country ?"

trary, l think it highly sensible; "a

Thank you. And when 1 wear a

masculine. | am determined to make a
firm stand against the iconociastic spirit

"Ah, if only there were more women
in the world like you, Miss Elirida"
81 wish that dear papa held your
views, Mir. Munnie-B Baggs. Why, only

HE'S GOING TO HAVE a WHEEL.

OF all the great inventions
OF this enlightened age,
The greatest is the bicycle,
And it is all the rage.
There's many queer contrivance-
l don I know which Is best
But Just give me cycle
And you may have the rest.
The telephone and printing press
Are handy in their way,
But they can't hold a candle
To the cycle OF to-day.
The engine and the telegraph
Both would be sadly missed,
But II yoI want TO have time,
The cycle heads the list.
They're used by people great and small,
And people of all sorts.
The doctors and the ministers,
The lawyers and the sports;
The crooks and cranks are riding them,
The politicians, too.
The highWaymen OF HOngkonG,
And trampS OF Kalamazoo.
The ladies even use them,
And wear divided skirts;
The girl upon her cycle
OFT with her lover tiirtS;
Stad matrOnS look askance at her,
And fatn, would stop the show
OF neat prOpelling feet and limbs,
AS maidens come and so.
Although I am not one of these,
\ cycle l will get,
But a. Pm snort of ready cash,
don't know how. just yet;
I'll beg, or beat or borrow,
DO anything but steal,
I'll peddle or I'll speculate
I'm bound to have wheel.
1 may be very foolish,
Some say am dead wrong"
But | will face the universe
In this, my solemn song;
No doubt III take q tumble,
And may perhaps get hurt,
But Will have a cycle, if
have TO sell my shirt.

The Scottish Dimfnutive.

The rural Scottish diminutive plays g
very important and elaborate part in con-
versation. Besides it's simple force as
diminutive, not only does it serve 10 ex-
press contempt or affection as the case
may be functions which it shares with
the diillnutives of other languages) but
it conveys various delicate and subtle
shades of meaning, g. g., of apology, po-
liteness, sympathy, and what not, with
greater nicely to the accustomed ear than
perhaps, do even the Greek particles tC
the scholars sensitive eye. The subject
is interesting, not only in an etymological
light, but also as illustrating courtesy
of manner among the rustic Scottish
which their intercourse with one another
is often very wrongly supposed to lack.
AS matter of fact, the English rustic is
very far behind his Scottish peer in this
respect. But to deal first with the dimin-
utive simple. Here is "puckle." A
''puckle" is "quantum," ii any
thing, on the side of full meas
ure. Its diminutiye is ''pucklie." But
they seldom stand alone, "gey" being
pretixed to "puckle." and wee" 10
''pucklie" G. g.,-U THE kye eat a gey
puckle hay" (2) Ca, gle the kye wee

other hand. is that illustrated by loon"

cite, and substituting that word they
sing as before. Each child tries to be
ready with the name Of some favorite
flower, and the game may close when

The bst turkeys for the New York
city market come from Rhode Island
and Connecticut. Tho Connecticut fowl
has a blooming reputation for juiciness,
and there ;;re game flavor to the flesh
and piquant quality pervading tho
Nutmeg turkey that are wanting in tho
foreign product. Another reason why
the Connecticut turkey is so highly
priced is because the Connecticut butch
er better than any other understands
the art of sticking u turkey. Long ex-
