JOKES AND J0KERS.
Continued Strain of Nonsense Geu
to he an Insufferable An
noyance.

A sense of humor is one of natures
most precious gifts to man. Amid his
losses and crosses, his cares and disap'
pointments, he often finds it sort of
saving grace.
"a little nonsense now and then
Is relished by the best of men,"
But continuous strain of nonsense
gets to be bore. The great error OF
the professional funny man is in try
ing to be funny all the time; in being
forever on the qui vive to show his
smartness and raise laugh. Ibid you
hear of that last good thing got OFF,"
he will ask, as if his drollery were
theme of perennial freshness and in
terest. Ten times to one this sup
posed good thing" will be some la
bored piece of wit in which none but
its author can see any point.
Mark Twain has said a great many
funny things, but he used sometimes to
make himself ridiculous by imagining
that he was called upon to be face
tious on all occasions. One case in
point occurred at a banquet given in
New York by a literary club at which
Mr.. Longfellow and other great writ
ers were guests of honor. Here Mr.
Clemens told a story drawn from hii
own Imagination in which the stately
Mr.. Longfellow and other great lights
of American literature present at the
banquet figured as tramps. When the
humorist sat down he was surprised
that not the ghost Of smile greeted
what he had intended as a side-split
ting recital To-day Mark Twain
would not be guilty of such a sin
against good manners.
All are aware of the many fatal ac'
cidents that have occurred from the
facetious pointing of guns and pistoli
at people, the invariable excuse of the
lester for the fatal result of his jest
being: 81 did not know 1t was loaded.
Impersonatio of ghosts, demons and
other uncanny beings have also driven
many to insanity or death. False and
waggish alarms of burglars, fires or as
sassins have also done much deadly
work. "shall l throw you over?"
asked faeetious man some years age
of little child who formed one OF
party that was standing on the edge
of precipitous waterfall. suiting the
action to the word he caught up the
little one, and in the hilarious excite.
ment of the moment threw her over the
precipice. As he had he grace to lear
after his victim, two deaths resulted
from this stupid attempt at joke.
It would require an abnormal sense
of humor 10 see anything funny In the
recent performance of that joker at
Lake Minnetonka who removed from
their dainty inclosure and replaced
with watermelon rinds the lovely
American Beauty roses which young
man had purchased as a present to an
esteemed and perhaps beloved young
woman. No person of genuine refine
ment and kindness of heart will play
upon another any practical joke which
causes pain, disappointment or NOR
tifcation.-Minneapolis Tribune.

MECHANICAL TERMS.
The Animal Creation Furnishes Much
Queer Nomenclature in
Machinery.

There are perhaps few except those
who have had much translating of tech
nical literature from English into for
eign languages who have any idea of
how many absolutely meaningless
names we have drawn from the animal
kingdom, and which very seldom can be
rendered in their technical sense by
their actual equivalent.
Thus the machinist employs dog on
his lathe; he takes a hog cut, If the
fool will stand it; the castings are made
from pigs of iron, which in turn were
fed from a SOW. Work is set upon
horse or buck, and punched or bent by
a convenient bear; screws are turned
by monkey wrench. Hoisting is done
by crab, and convenient cat is a
part of the outfit of shop crane, and
a kit of tools is ever at hand. A crow
helps to straighten work, jack to lift
II, a mule pulley aids in driving ma
chinery that donkey engine turns. A
fish connects parts end to end, or
strengthens a broken beam; shells are
used all over; a worm does powerful
but quiet work. cock shuts off the
water; one kind of ram raises II and
another does heavy work. A printing
press has a fly; the first locomotives
had a grasshopper-valve motion and
drive, and butterfly valves are common.
Herring bone gears are used by the best
builders; turtles fit printing-press CYL
inders, and fly wheels are running all
over the world. In drilling, even an old
man is called into service, and doctors
prevent faulty lathe work.
But from the human body itself we
borrow the name of nearly every
principal part, as head, neck and chest;
arm, leg and toe; heel, sole and foot;
elbow, shoulder, wrist and knee;
knuckle and finger; rib and diaphragm;
eve, ear, nose and cheek; mouth, tongue
and tooth; throat and gullet; back.
side and belly.
From the minor animals also we get
snout and horn, tail and claw, wing and
feather, quill and spur, fin and scale

A QUEER DECISION.
As 1t Was Rendered by n POmpOus
But Short-sighted Solomon of
the West.

"All the jokes on those who admin
lister justice cannot be charged to the
squires," declares a now distinguished
member of the Detroit bar. "You all
know the captain" after naming citi-
zen whose circle of acquaintances in
cludes thousands.
"In the early years of the gold ex-
citement the captain went right
through by the overland route and set
tied down with a dogged determina-
| tion to make a fortune. He had
tough time of it but things finally came
his way and he secured a fourth of
valuable claim in consideration of Civ
ing quarter of the proceeds to the
owners. BY hard work and personal
supervision he made it pay and soon
got the whole claim on the same
terms.
at was not long till the sharks who
held the title discovered that the mine
was a bonanza and proceeded to make
the captain trouble. They tried to
scare him and have him driven off by
professional jumpers and, failing in
this, went to law. The captain sent
clear back here to have me help him
make the legal fight and | responded.
They were trying to beat him out Of
his lease on a lot of legal technicali-
ties and had two mighty shrewd law
yers in their employ. The presiding
Judge was a pompous little fellow who
thought more of his opinion than that
of the supreme court and who prided
himself on his Solomon-like wisdom in
The dispensation of justice. Suddenly,
and without warning, he took the case
from the jury and ordered verdict
for the plaintiffs.
"W-h, why, your honor managed
to stammer.
"'Simple enough and he pulled up
prodigiously. The captain first took
quarter of the mine for a quarter of
the proceeds. Having taken the entire
mine on the same terms he must give
the entire proceeds which is tanta-
mount to surrendering the mine
Because of that fool decision il took
years time and no end Of money TO
firmly establish the captain in his
rights."-Detroit Free Press.

The War and the Fish Interest

The annexation of Puerto Rico ap-
pears to have an upsetting effect upon
the minds and, consequently, on the
business Of the fish dealers of Nova
Scotia. During the fiscal year Of 1896
and 1897 Canada exported dry salted
Goldfish to the value of nearly $4,000, 900.
Nova Scotia supplied nearly two-thirds
of IL. One-third of the amount went 10
Puerto Rico and its vicinity. The an
nexation brings the United States tariff
laws to bear upon the commerce OF
these islands and turns the market
completely upside down. The three
fourths of a cent per pound duty on
dry Goldfish is practically prohibitory
and make It necessary for Nova SEQ
tians TO look for other markets. So
serious is this matter that there is talk
of appointing a commission to look
after and regulate this particular sub
iect.-N. Y. Ledger.

TOILET AND WARDROBE.
Odd Items of Information for the
Benefit of the Busy House,
wife.

To clean fine laces: Basic them
with a fine needle and thread on a
piece of very thin muslin or old linen,
then immerse in naphtha, benzine or
alcohol. Or sprinkle both sides of the
lace thiekly with powdered French
chalk, lay them between thick sheets
of writing paper, keep under heavy
press for some days, then take out and
lightly shake off he powder.
\ strong solution of vinegar and wa
ter is efiieacious in restoring the color
of black lace that has grown rusty.
Rinse in coffee, then iron while damp
with a piece of flannel laid over it.
When challis dresses become moth
eaten the best portions may be made
into very pretty pillow covers, The
light-coored ones, made with rutfies,
are effective, and they are more dura-
bic than silk ones, and also keep clean
longer than those made of linen or
dimity.
The woman who learns to sew straw
neatly can always have a stylish hat,
SIZE can buy last seasons hat for a
few cents, rip the braid, and resew 1t
in any ef the current shapes.
The morocco cases in which we'd
ding gifts are sent may be ingeniously
utilized as handkerchief boxes, vel
boxes, or receptacles for ties and rib
bons. Stiff partitions may be taken
on sachet pad slipped in, and the
satin lining replaced.
The following outfit for boarding
school girl is none too comprehensive
"She should have half a dozen under
garments of each kind marked with
her name; two flannel skirts and silk
or alpaca one; a simply made cloth
suit to be worm to church, two clotf
| school dresses; two or more blouses
| to be worn with dark skirt; an even
ing dress made with high neck ant
long sleeves, and woolen wrapper
will complete the list of necessary
dresses for the greater part of the
school year. But for early fall ant
late spring wear she must take light
wool dress, some shirt waists and one
or more of her summer gowns. IL
most schools a gymnasium suit will be
required. Besides these garments the
young woman will need two dressing
sacks, waterproof and heavy and
| light jackets. Hats play less impor
tant part at boarding school than else
where, but ar outing hat and one suit
/ ing the street costume must be pro
vided. Sensible parents will remember
that, at this formative period in tht
! girls character, her tastes should bt
guided toward the choice of quiet, re
/ fined dressing, Gay and overtrimmet
gowns are, therefore, as much to b,
avoided as is lavish supply of pocke
money, to be spent in foolish and un
necessary ways. ."-Housewife.

Her Ladyship's Deadly jest.

The count and the countess were
in the midst of one of their periodic
al quarrels.
"Well, all can say is retorted
the countess, after her liege lord
had frankly expressed his conviction
that he must have been either ex-
tremely intoxicated or violently in
sane when he married her, II wish
to goodness I'd been a native Of
Mars instead of this planet"
I'm order, I suppose, that you
might have been 'steen million miles
away from me2" queried the count.
Eyes, that is one reason. Another
is that I could have had title with
out tho, humiliating necessity of be-
coming the wife of a superanpuated
chimpanzee to obtain it.
"What do you meant" e
"Why, stupid one, does it not fol-
low, according to all the rules Of
grammar, that if the men are called
Martians the women must be called
Martianesses2"
With a long, shuddering moan the
count fell to the door and expired,
thus rendering unnecessary suit
for divorce.-New York Journal.
