Accidental HumOr.

I heard the other day an amusing
tale of a certain we'll known English
nobleman, who had imported two
emus with the hope of breeding from
them, and on leaving the estate for
town left also strict injunctions that
the greatest care should be taken Of
the lady emu, if she produced the de-
sired egg or eggs. The egg arrived in
due course, but, as artists have found
before now, the lady declined to "sit."
The steward, however, was an ingen-
ious man, and thought of a substitute.
but his powers Of composition were
by no means on a par with his in
v~entiveness, and he announced the in
teresting event to his master in the
following terms:
"The emu has laid an egg, but we
were in great difficulty, as she would
not sit On it. l did what 1 thought
was best, and in your lordship's alb
sence | have placed tie egg under the
biggest goose on the estate"

OVER THE RIVER OF DROPPING
EYES.

Over the River Of Dropping Eyes
Is the wonderful land of Dreams,
Where lilies grow as white as the snow,
And fields are green and warm winds
blow,
And the tall reeds CULVER, all in a row
And no one ever cries:
For it is a beautiful place for girls
and boys,
Where there's no scolding and lots of
noise,
And no lost balls or broken toys
Over the River of Dropping Eyes
In the beautiful land of Dreams.
There's horns to blow and drums to
beat
And plenty of candy and cakes to eat,
And no one ever cleans their feet
And no one ever tries!
There's plenty of grassy places for
play,
And birds and bees, they throng all
the day
Oh, wouldn't you like to go and stay
Over the River Of Dropping Eyes
In the beautiful land of Dreams.

Origin of the Blouse.

After the fall of the Roman Empire
the sexes started about fair in the
matter Of clothes. Our Teutonic an
cestors adopted a costume which was
almost the same for men and women,
and consisted Of two main garments,
the Roman tunica and toga. The tun-
lea was virtually a shirt with long
sleeves, and was buckled at the waist.
The men wore it reaching to the Knee
and the ome to the ankles. In cold
er northern attitudes the men, as a
great innovation, added trousers, but
these were looked upon in the light Of
a distinct extra, and were not consid-
cred obligatory in hot weather. There
seems to be no doubt that the blouse
of the modern peasant is a direct de-
scendant Of the tunca.-Lippincotts

No White-Taided Cats,

AS you seem to be interested in cats,
and as / am. too, / make bold TO ask
you a question: Did you ever see a cat
with II white tail? | have been locking
for n simply as a matter of curiosity
for about fifty years and have never
seen one. although | have seen mary
pure white cats, except that their tails
or a part We're not. | vas asked this
question when a small boy by a person
probably as old as | am now, and he
said he had never seen one. though II >
was induced all his lfe to look for one,
just as l have. and for the sam lea
son. so this would make a search Of
considerably over a century on this
question of natural history, and as in
this long space there is no authentic
account of any one having seen II cat
with a tail all white. l am almost
tempted to believe there is no such
thing.-Baltimore Sun.
