Mark Twain and His Pyjamas.

Mark Twain has an intense dislike
for clothes, and if it were possible
would remain in his pyjamas day in
and day out And whenever he can do
so he eats breakfast in them, receives
his friends and works in them. His ia
vorite mode of writing is to lie fiat on
the floor on his stomach in his pyjamas,
with pipe in his mouth. When ON lee
ture tours, he never gets out of his
sleeping clothes until il is time to go to
hall or opera house. When the fit
strikes him, he likes to exercise, and
then with his customary shamble will
shuttle along for miles and exhaust his
most athletic companion But he feels
far more at home in his pyjamas than
in a street suit or evening clothes, and
in them he remains as great part Of
the day as Mrs. Clemens will allow
him. Ladies' Home Journal.

Most of Them Paid.

A large company of easily gulled in
dividuals was victimized a short time
back III small country town. BY
means of posters announcing a grand
sacred concert and by free distribu-
ton of complimentary tickets bearing
on their face this condition, "No Cen
tleman Admitted Unless Accompanied
by "A Lady, large audience was gather
ed at the theater. When the crowd began
to press i'll through the doors, the ticket
taker began shouting:
All having complimentary tickets
VIII please pass up stairs to the gal
lery "
This was dark, dreary, hot place,
not having the capacity for seating
comfortably more than 100 people.
Those who pressed forward with their
tickets were told that if they did not
wish to go to the gallery they could be
admitted by paying shilling apiece.
Every man who appeared with a COM
plimentary ticket Of course had lady
with him and felt sort of embarrass-
ment if she were not his wife or init
mate acquaintance, SO he yielded to
compulsion and paid rather than retire,
and so the scheme succeeded to the ex-
tent of filling the house. London An

The Mysterious Passenxer.

The captain of "a vessel which was
bringing TO America in the fall Of 79t
mysterious passenger who had come
aboard at Hamburg watched the latter
so closely that at last the passenger said
one day "Sir, this is not the first occa

attentive scrutiny you bestow upon me.
May inquire the reason!'
Sir, responded the candid captain,
you took passage on my ship as a
Dane. l don't believe you re anything Of
the kind.
The passenger smiled. The smile was
full of perspicacity and confidence and
was followed with, pray, tell me,
then, what you believe me to be-
At this question Captain Ewing
fidgeted, hesitated and fiually blurted
out: Well, to be honest, / think you
are gambler. You've well nigh ruined
yourself at home and are now coming

The young mans smile broadened.

a certain old lady, summoned as a wit

the questions put to her being rather in
distinct, the court requested her to
speak louder, though without much sue

say, my good woman, said the Judge
Please to take off that huge bonnet Of
yours. -
Sir" she said composedly and dis
tinctly enough this time, "the court
has perfect right to bid gentleman
take off his hat, but it has no right to
make lady remove her bonnet"
Madam, replied the judge, "you
seem so well acquainted with the law
that j think you had better come up and
take seat with us on the bench"
II thank your honor kindly" she re-
sponded, dropping low courtesy to the
court, "but there are old women enough
there already. Law Notes.
