Unfortunate.


How often our most innocent
speeches "gang agley," leaving US with
no resource but that of making the
best of a bad matter! A certain Scotch
minister is wont to relate how, having
been out all day visiting, he called on
an old dame well known for her kind
ness and hospitality. After some con-
versation she began getting out her
best china and whatever delicacies
were at hand to honor her unexpected
guest. AS he sat watching the prep
aratons his eye suddenly fell on four
or five cats devouring some cold por-
ridge under the table. "Dear me,
Miss Black" he observed, what a
number of cats! Do they all belong to
youP" ma, ma, SIR" was the innocent
reply; "but mony time say that a
the hungry brutes in the parish come
tae me, seeking meal O. meat" Then
the good woman bethought her, and in
her embarrassment nearly dropped a
teacup.-Youth's Companion.

Bismarck's Diplomacy.

One day the Austrian ambassador to
the federal diet, Count Rechberg, re-
ceived dispatch instructing him to
vote with Prussia for certain impor-
tant measure, accompanied with a con-
Gdential letter directing him to induce
the representatives of the other Ger
man states to vote against the measure
and thus defeat it. In his haste he
handed the wrong paper to Bismarck,
who read and returned it with the re-
mark: "There must be some mistake
here" Rechberg saw his blunder, and
grew pale and excited. "Don't be dis
turbed," said Bismarck; "you did not
intend to give me this document, and
therefore you have not given it to me,
and am wholly ignorant of it's con-
tents" In fact, he made no mention Of
it in his official reports, and thus won
Rechberg's gratitude, besides having
him henceforth ION the hip"

Slow Work.

The late Prof. Hyrtl was very fond
of animals. Some years ago one of his
fellow professors undertook some ex-
periments to ascertain the loss of
weight in cases Of starvation, using for
the purpose lot of rabbits. The sub
jects of the experiment were weighed
every day, but to the professors aston
isbment they gained flesh instead of
losing it. It was some time before he
found out that Prof. Hyrt had been
keeping them well supplied with food.

A Cheap Fur.

A noted painter related to a circle of
friends the following amusing story of his
fur lined overcoat, splendid Nerz, with
immense collar and cuffs: 81 was once en-
gagged to paint the portrait of the wealthy
but stingy banker, X, who had pre-
viously bought some of my pictures at ri
diculously low prices. was not in the
best of humors, for all the time was
painting away at his stolid features he was
trying to get me to take something off the
price agreed upon, and he did it in such
a way as to make it difficult to refuse him.
Besides, I hate chafferlng. This time,
however, contrived to get the best of the
bargain. OF course he wanted to be paint
ed in his fur. AS 1 did not require his
presence while painting the upper part of
this garment, proposed that he should
send it to me-my servant would put it on
and sit in his stead. This was done. ]

to pay he insisted on having his discount.

had an attack of smallpox. The fur is be-
ing fumigated and will be at your disposal
tomorrow By return of post received

The rose maiden game is a pretty way
to entertain the guests at girls birth
day. To play the game prettily there
must be quantity of paper roses-one
for each little girl. The roses must be
California roses, which are as large as a
little girls head.
When the little guests are all assem-
bled, each little girl gets rose, while
one of the older people present help her
take out the inside leaves and to fit it
over her head as if it were bonnet, out
of which her face is becomingly peeping
Then all the little maidens stand in a
row while some one tells story about
the garden flowers. Whenever the red
roses are mentioned. the little girls wear
ing the red rose bonnets bow their heads
deeply, and when the white roses are
mentioned the white rose maidens do the
same. And so on through all the colors.
If little rose maiden makes a mistake
and bows at the wrong time, her bonnet
is turned round so that it covers her face.

An Oriental Story.

An eastern king was once in need of
faithful servant and friend. He gave
notice that he wanted man to do
days work, and two men came and asked
to be employed. He engaged them both
for certain fixed wages and set them to
work to fill basket with water from a
neighboring we'll, saying he would come
in the evening and see their work. He
then left them to themselves and went
away.
After putting in one or two bucket
fuls one of the men said:
what is the good of doing this USE
less work? AS soon as we put the wa
ter in on one side it runs out on the
other"
The other man answered:
But we have our days wages, haven't
we? The use of the work is the masters
business, not ours"
II am not going to do such FOOLS
work." replied the other, and throwing
down his bucket he went away.
The other man continued his work till,
about sunset, he exhausted the we'll.
Looking down into it he saw something
shining at the bottom. He let down his
bucket once more and drew up precious
diamond ring.
Nov I see the use of pouring water
into basket" he exclaimed to himself.
''If the bucket had brought up the ring
before the we'll was dry, it would have
been found in the basket. The labor was
not useless, after all"
But he had yet to learn why the king
had ordered this apparently useless task.
1t was to test their capacity for perfect
obedience, without which no servant is
reliable.
At this moment the king came up to
him, and as he babe the man keep the
ring he said:
Thou hast been faithful in little
thing; now I see can trust thee in great
things. Henceforward thou shalt stand
at my hand. "-Sunday Hour.

Thew Touch but to Adorn.

Women touch nothing they do not
adorn. The cigarette was an humble
little wad of tobacco wrapped in tissue
paper. Simplicity could go no further.
Since women have taken to smoking, the
cigarette has become decorative, aesthetic
and frivolous. Ladies' cigarettes, as
they are called, are now sold tipped with
petals of violet and rose. They are of
the finest Turkish tobacco and put up in
brown. silver edged, cardboard boxes.

now 1T is DONE.

The simple reason why the hurts of prize
fighters show no sign and disappear SO
quickly is because in the treatment OF
training the flesh is hardened. They can
stand a blow like the kick of horse and
not show bruise. Other mems bruises
heal slowly, but if they would use st.
Jacobs Oil, they would find there's nothing
acts like magic. All athletes should use it.
It's the great renovator. The same with
cuts and wounds, if used according to di-
rections, it will heal surely and make the
parts sound again.
