He Saic the Joke.

Lord Filznoodle, the second cousin OF
Lord Dundreary, had, with his valet, the
esiimable James Yellowplush, come TO
America aud gone west in the hope of bag
giDg a few grizzly bears and bufaloes,-
America and the Americans seemed to the
noble lord "beastly vulgar, doncher know"
and this opinion he frankly told those Amer
leans whom he favored with his lordly soci.
ETY., says the Boston Budget. Nevertheless,
fate compelled him to accept as travelling
companion rampant American. They
were travelling IN horseback across the prai-
ries, and one day after vain search for the
settlement in which they were to spend the
night, they came to a cross road which boast
ed of a charcoal blacksmilh's hut and sign
post The sign read 'Mugg's Corner four
miles on the right-hand road. If you can't
read ask the blacksmith"
Thereat the American laughed long and
loud, but the Englishman remained silent
aud ponsive.
Il say, me good fellow" he expostulated,
Il cawn't see the joke, doncher know
What is it?"
"lf you don't see it, replied tho Ameri-
can, II shan't tell you. But | will tell you
what will do. you see it before we leave
the inn to morrow III pay The bills"
Al through the rest OF the day aud even.
ing the Englishman remained silent. He
was working the brain of five centuries Of
culture. When the American retired TO
his straw mattress there bad as yet dawned
no g!eam Of intelligence on the English
mans face. But in the middle OF the night
the former was awakened by loud knock
on his door, accompanied by hearty laugh.
81 say, me good man." came the voice, "it
is good joke, doncher know. Suppose the
blacksmith should be out"

POETRY
MINERVA IN BOSTON.

Ny Minerva flouts the Graces, and fOrgets how
fair her face is,
But the higher criticism she entirely COM
prehends
So she dresses very plainly, after some reform
ungainly,
And looks on Briggs and Spencer as her in
Inmates and friends.
She's Indifferent to ices and confectioners de-
vices.
But on esoteric Buddhism she loves to pom
der well;
And though she ne7er glances at the popular
romances.
She INDUCES on occasion in study" or
pastel"
Shes superior to flitation she contributes to
The Nation
And she'd be rank agnostic if she didn't
know so much;
She declines in social duty to display her mod
est beauty.
But she's put poem of Browning into gen.
uine low Dutch.
She is musically clever, and the tune" ta-
bOos forever,
For to Wagner" she is faithful. and to
Brahms she gives her heart
Then at arts high altar kneelng, she will talk
''technic' and feeling"
But if say. It's pretty" will reply, But
is it art?'
Dare | ever hope to hold her in the arms that
would Unfold her?
Or, with rlato for my pattern, must | tell
my love in Greek
Let me curb this crude young passion, and
since courtings out of fashion.
Woo Minerva with a problem, and of Eros
shyly speak.
Most persitently I'm cramming but weary
ofmy shamming.
And am not intoxicated with Castaias Bit
ter cup;
/ might win the maids affections through &
course in comic sections
But | worder if once married | could keep
the blamed thing up. -Cehtlry

Mr. Putterby's Pnmpkin.

"Ar Putterby, my old time neighbor Of
40 years ago. was what we call in the coun-
try close iisied, said the man from the rural
districts "He could drive the closest bar
gains of any one ever met, and could keep
house with the least buying. One Of our
coins in those days was the old silver 12l-
cent piece, variously called 'ninepence,
York shilling and Bit according to the
part Of the country you were in, and it was
the existence of this coin that enabled him
to make a crowning triumph in the way Of
close trade
"a farm boy came along one day with a
load of pumpkins which be was peddlug
about tie village at cent apiece. Mr. Put
terby, after examining them, thought he
would invest, but half pumpkin was all
he cared to buy.
But whole pumpkin is only cent,
said the boy How are you going to pay
me for half a oue?
The easiest thing in the world said
Mr.. Puiterby, and 50 a pumpkin was cut
and he took one of the halves under his arm
aud handed the boy a shilling. Now give
me twelve cents change; and taking the
twelve coppers from the astonished boy he
walked away with his purchase"

Encke's Comet.

Encke's comet is one of the best known
of the Jupiter group Of comets. This group
so far rs known consists of 10 objects, all
of which are members of our solar system,
and are revolving about our sun in orbits ol
from three and half years to double that
time The group is so called because there
is every reason to believe that these wander
ers were intercepted in their path through
space by the giant planet Jupiter and per-
turbed into orbits about the sun, the distant
end of which lies in the neighborhood of this
planet.
Encke's comet is the most noted of this
group, having been known to astronomers
for upward of a century, and having been
sufficiently we'll observed to conform very
closely to its computed path. 1t was first
seen by Mechain, of Paris, on January II,
1886, and was again discovered by Miss
Caroline Herschel in November, 1895, and
after few days by other astronomers. II
was again observed in 1905, but none of the
astronomers at the time knew OF the identi-
ty Of The objects which they SAW. In the
winter of 1883 it was visible for some sew
en- weeks, and Encke busted himself with
the computation Of its orbit. In a remark
ably short time he had his computations
finished and was able to show that it was
moving in an orbit OF three and a half years
period that the comets above enumerated
were identical with it, and that it had APP
preached the sun Is times in the intervals
.unobserved.
Encke next computed the time Of its re-
turn, announcing this date as May a, 1922
having been delayed on the way some nine
days by the attraction of Jupiter, and ac
cordine to this time table the object wa:
again observed on its return This compu-
taton of Euckes was 4 most remarkable
one, involving as it did some of the most
intricate and laborious problems known by
the astronomers of the time -Erchaagc

4 Yankee BanGnd Farm.

IL is of interest to Americans, as showing
what can be done in tropical enterprises, to
know that the largest banana plantations in
Jamaica are owned by an American COM
pany. This company was formed in 1877
and has now capital of $500, 900, with
surplus of 81 l,00O,0O0 owns $4,000 acres Of
land. and leases some 10000 more, employs
twelve steamships to carry the fruit to the
United States, and annually ships about
5000 600 bunches Of bananas and 100000
cocoanuts. besides considerable quantities
Of pimento lallspice) coffee and cocoa. The
labor on the plantation is done by both ne
groes and the East Indian coolies, some 400
of the latter being employed, and another
importation Of them being about to be made.
Upwards Of 600 mules are daily in harness
to carry the fruit from the plantations 10
the ships, 500 head of working oxen are
used for plowng and other work, and
large additional number of cattle is kept on
the grazing land which belongs TO the com
pany. The steamships Of the company
number twelve in all and ply between Port
Arthur and the ports Of Boston, Baltimore
AMI Philadelphia. They are all iron vessels
aud are built for speed, which is n very nec-
essary point in transporting fruit. Until
recently the carrying Of passengers was a
side issue but two new vessels, the Barn.
stable and the Brookline, have just been
added to the feet, each possessing large and
elegant passenger accommodations.

A merchant said "a man came into my

When he came to pay FOR them lie picked
out from a capacious pocket a bag, and said !;
Il am going to pay you in silver He pro-
ceedei to count out silver dollars, and he
counted out enough to pay for iis purchase.
He remarked 4 have given YOU more ell
yer than you have given me- Said the
merchant: TN not sure about that. Let's
see here is a pair of scales So We weigh
ell the silver, and 10 the extra bullion in
the spoons weighed so much more than the
bullion in the dollars that the market valu
alton of the silver spoons was over the mar
ket value Of the silver in the silver dollars,

was thus counted for nothing, and, besides,
I received less silver than gave. Cincia-
