A wAsrE.sAsKer STORY.
Brilliant Act OF the Editor Of an BuRilst
Weekly

brilliant Act of the Editor Of an lsnsilsh
Weekly.
The editor OF Q popular weekly as
placed In great dilemma the other
day. Having with much care selected
six complete stories for publication, he
placed them for safety OH the floor
underneath tho waste-paper basket.
On leaving late at night he
forgot to change their position and
when the oharwoman came the next
morning she swept them up with the
other litter and put them In the dust
bin. The same morning tho dastman
came round and the paper, including
the editors priceless stories, was
placed In largo sacks and sent of for
the Salvation army depot The editors
despair ut discovering the fate OF his
manuscripts may be imagined, but he
Is q man Of much decision, and, hav-
ing learned the process Of collection,
chartered hanson and taking
two assistants with him set Off for the
Salvation army quarters. 1t was, Of
course, impossible for the authorities
there to tell him which bag contained
the litter. The huge sacks, forty In
number, which had been collected dur.
ing the morning, were without any
mark Of identity and 1t was ut once ap-
parent that IL the manuscripts were to
be recovered 1t would be necessary to
search the entire litter Undismayed
at the prospect, tho editor and his as.
sistants took off their coats and went
to work. After many hours Of weary
search five out Of six wore ultimately
recovered. The Inst, ind according to
the editor, the most priceless, evaded
all search, but triumphant at the re.
suit Of the days labor, the editor and
his assistants returned to the office and
the manuscripts were forthwith handed
10 the waiting printers. Westminster

Foiled After All.

During the peninsular war number
OF English officers had established
mess in Spanish village, with native
cooks, whose efforts were fairly salts.

campaigners. They were joined, how
ever, by q certain peevish, cantank.
erous major, who bitterly complained
tina. every dish was favored with
sugar--after che Spanish fashion-nnd
quite UNBEATABLE. Finally he confined
himself to diet OF eggs boiled in
the shell. "They can't sugar those"
he cried triumphantly. But his
triumph was short-lived. Next morn
ing some mischievous subs were Mt the
mess table before the major, and
emptied all the salt cellars, replacing
their contents with powdered sugar.
The major soon appeared and, with
gloomy complacency, began upon IN
egg, with which, as usual, he took
plenty OF ''salt." At the first mouth
full his face turned purple with rage.
"Sugured. by Jove!' he exclaimed and
rushed off to his tent.-San Francisco

Not long since Lancashire laborer,
not feeling quite we'll, was persuaded

ination of him, said there was nothing
serious the matter with his health, but
advised him to be more careful with
his diet, not smoke so much as usual,
and, above oil, to abstain from whisky
for little time. The laborer thanked
the doctor and was preparing to leave
