ENGLISH REPARTEE.

Ing One.
The following anecdotes are publish
ed by a London paper as fair samples
of current English rspartee, says the
Washington Star: A country clergy
man, meeting with some boys playing
with mud in the lane, asked what they
were busy about. I'VE have been
making a church, sir" Eyes, l see you
have a church there, but where is the
Clergyman" "Oh, we hadn't enough
mud left to make parson, sir" was
the smart reply. One hot summers
day very stout gentleman attempted
to find room in an already filled tram
car, when a thin occupant ventured to
remark that it would be bad job for
the newcomers pocket If they charged
passengers by weight We'll" was
the retort, "if they did, they would not
stop the car to take you up" An al
most bald-headed man was being at
tended to by the hairdresser, when an
individual possessed of golden Jocks

not have been about when their were

the bald-headed one, 'but as they had

and moaned, would have asked for
time and for pity He faces ruin much
as his ancestors faced death on the
battlefield" Then, seeing the earl's
eyes fixed on him, he said, 1T is a sor-
ry ending, my lord"
''Yes, a sorry ending for the last of
the Caravens. My poor father called
me Uric, after one of our ancestors
who saved kings life by his bravery.
1 have not been worthy descendant
of the Uric Caraven who received in
his own breast tho sword meant for his

Arley Ransome looked at the calm,
handsome face.

How French Bridegroom Was Round

How a French Bridegroom Was Round
ed Up by Ills Intended.
Paris exchanges tell of a French
Captain Bunsby, who was recently led
to the altar twice in one day by
Gallo Mrs. McStinger The ludicrous
affair took place at the little town of
Issoudon. The Freedman went to
the marie, in company with a widow,
for the purpose of being married.
When asked, however, whether he
would take the woman for his wife, to
everybody's surprise he said emphatic
ally: mo, was too unhappy in my
first marriage to wish to begin again."
Come, come" said the mayor, you
should have thought of all that before
you came here. You must have
known what you were doing" ut is
never too late to avoid doing fool
ish thing" said the bridegroom, and
so saying he put on his hat and rush
ed out of the place. The whole we'd
ding party, with the bride at their
head, ran after him through the streets
of the town, amidst the jeers of the
passers-by. The fugitive was run to
earth at last and brought back in
triumph by the lady, who showed by
her manner that she was not to be
baked of her prey. The wretched
man, now thoroughly cowed. went
through the ceremony as meskly as
a lamb. Loud cheers greeted the new
ly welded couple as they reappeared
on their way to the restaurant where
the wedding breakfast was being pre-
pared.

the British law and constitution, bill
files that could literally hold no more,
maps of different estates lying care
lessly open, large inkstands, pens and
sheets of blotting paper.
Pen in hand, his keen, shrewd face
full OF deep thought, the owner and oc-
cupier, Arley Ransome, sat at the
square table, a large parchment deed
spread open before him. He read on,
the lines Of his face relaxing until a
cold, satirical smile curled his lips He
started as though half alarmed when
his clerk, opening the door of the room,
suddenly announced:
The Earl Of Caraven, sir"
Il am ready to see him." was the
reply. But before the earl entered the
lawyer quickly folded up and put away
tho deed that had engrossed his atten-
ton.
"Am too soon?" asked q mellow,
indolent voice.
Arley Ransome looked up with a
smile at the speaker.

1T is something after the fashion in
which spider expects fly" said the
young nobleman. There is one thing
TO be said, am a perfectly resigned
fly. l know that evil hours await me,
and I am prepared for them"
The clerk placed a chair, and, at a
signal from his master, quilted the
room, but the Earl of Caraven declin-
ed the proffered seat. He stood by the
mantel piece leaning with careless
grace upon it.

lawyers Office" he said, "but must
ask permission to do so. 1 shall derive
some kind of comfort from it."
Arley Ransome bowed, and the Earl
OF Caraven applied himself to the task
of selecting and lighting a cigar.
'I suppose" he said, that l should
furnish an excellent moral as a lesson
for all bad boys"
"You would form an excellent warn
ing, my lord" was the grave reply.

Arley Ransome looked at the
speaker. There was something of ad-

the long, lingering glance Of those
shrewd eyes; yet he could not have

HOW TO WASH WITH EASE.

Can Wash Garments Satisfactorily.

Can Wash Garments Satisfactorily.
That the family washing cannot be salts

water and inferior soap is fact not al
ways understood by housekeepers, yet
these Inconvenience are the cause OF yell
low clothes, and faded garments. Strong
I've soap made in the home kitchens, may
have answered for the use of our grand
mothers, and the cheap laundry soap found
in the village stores half a century ago was
thought good enough for women who had
learned to make hard rubbing do the work
which good soap should have done. But in
this age of progress labor-saving appli-
ances are used by intelligent women, and
in no place do they count for more than in
the laundry. After asserting the clothes,
put the linens in n tub nearly full of hot
water, and rub them with Ivory Soap, as
each piece is washed, il should be wrung
out, and placed in a clean tub When all
are washed pour boiling water over, and
let stand until cool, then rinse, and starch
the clothes. After the linens are washed,
the white wearing clothes should be washed
in the same way, then the colored garments
taken through fresh suds, rinsed, starched,
and hung on the line. When dry each
piece should be taken from the line, shaken
out sprinkled, folded and laid in basket
until morning, when they should be care
fully ironed. ELIZA II. PARKER.

she makes haste to find and restore it.
Good health is more valuable possession

yet one by one the jewels of health slip away,
and women seem Indifferent until it is almost
too late, and they cannot be restored.
