A Mean no~

He was a small bOy-not such a very small boy-in an out of town school He had written a composition. It was upon the subject of dogs Now the teacher of the school was a man, and he was not popular He was what the boys called mean They disliked him thor oughly, from the tips of his shining shoes to the ends of his pompadour comb ed hair. In the composition there was a story of dog It was the story of a very mean dog, and as the composer of the literary effort came to the last line be read 1t eEnphatically and with great distinctness of utterance, and the hearts of all the other small boys in the room, as they listened, quaked. half with de- light and half with fear. knowing what was to follow, and gazing, fascinated, at the upright coiffure of the master, as the reader ended. And that dog was so mean that bis hair stood on end. ''- New York Times

 An old negro bearing . huge bundle of bedclothes which were somewhat the worse for wear and none too imaacu. late in character rapped at one of the little windows np at the postoffice. The clerk who appeared in answer to the summons was thus greeted by the afore- said darky:
 ''Boss. I'ze got tu send dis here bun- de O bedclo'es to my old oman down in Ais'sippi Is dis here de place whah pze got ter start it of!"
 ''Oh, you want to send the package by mail do yous" asked the clerk, without cracking a smile
 ''Sartain, fer sho', boss. How much is l got ter payF" inquired the darky.
 The clerk could nos resist the temp tation to play a joke npon a fellow clerk. 30 he said:
 Well. uncle this isn't the place for yOu to leave your bundle, but if you will just take it down to that window below here"-iDdieating the general delivery department-"and hand it U. to the clerk down there. he will put the right number of stamps on it and send it o6 for you"

The fact that We use the word "style'' in speaking of architecture and sculp- ture, painting and music, dancing, play acting and cricket, that We can apply ii to the careful achievements of the housebreaker and the poisoner, and to the spontaneous animal movements of the limbs of man or beast, is the noblest of unconscious tributes to the faculty of letters Morals, philosophy scd ses- thetic. mood and conviction, creed and whim, habit, passion and demonstra- tion-what art but the art of literature admits the entrance of all these and guards them from the suddenness of mortality!

The Early London Omnibus.

When the queen came to the throne, omnibuses were a new but already pop ulAr institution They were longer, mar rower and lower than the present ones and had no seats on the roof. The pas sengers were carefully shut in by a door at the end, as if to make quite sure of them, once they were captured, till they had paid their fares On a little round perch behind stood the conductor O. "cad, hanging on by leather loop passed over his arm. Sixpence was the usual bus fare 60 years ago. whether you went from beginning to end of the journey or only a few hundred yards. As there was very little regulation of the street traffic of London in those days, if the bus was filled up at start ing It went like a fire engine in order to get in Gn extra journey. but other wise It crawled and p0ttered cbout till the requisite number was obtained.
 Each omnibus was licensed only for a particular route It paid the stage coach duty of e5 when first started and shilling a year for keeping the license Tn force, besides mileage duty, varying with the number of passengers it would hold, but coming to about threepence per mile on the average e-Gentleman' Magazine

AntssObaooo Smoking.

There is ample authority for the statement that before the introduction Uf tobacco it was customary to inhale the smoke of burned herbs for medici nal purposes. There Is, however, SO far as l know, DO authority for supposing that pipes at all resembling our tobacco pipes were used for this pu<pose Lyte says Of ooltsfoot:
 ''The perfume of the dried leaves ledde upon Quicke coles, taken into the mouth through the pipe of a funnell, or tunnell, helpeth such as are troubled with the shortnesse of winde. and fetchs their breath thicke or often, and do (sic) breake without daunger the impostems of the breast |"
 This is the usual form of the dfrec- lions given in such eases, and Gerard follows it almost word for word, add ing, however:
 Being taken in manner as they take eobaco. 1t tcoltsfoot) nightly prevail eth against the disease aforesaid. ''
 This is pretty good evidence that to- bacco pipes were nOt in use in Lyte's time, but had been introduced in Ge- rard X In Sylvester's Tobacco Batter ed and Their Pipes Shattered" tobacco pipes are spoken of as a new invention: I've smoakie Engines. in this latter Age Satan s short Circuit. the more sharp his ragel Have been invented by too-wanted Wit, Or rather, vented from th' Infernan Pit, Guns and Tobacco pipes. with Fire and Smoak. tAt leasts Third part of Mankind to ehoak

Looking Forwnrd.

A Cleveland clergyman who is not given to putting Gn a long face either in his pulpit or ort of it says that be- fore he came here from the south he was one day asked by a young man to unite him with the woman of his choice in the holy bonds of wedlock upon the evening of a certain day.
 ''I am very sorry, said tine reverend gentleman. "but shall be out of town upon that day.
 The young man was orestfallen, said that he had set his heart upon having that particular minister perform the ceremony and asked if there was no possible way in which it could be ar ranged.
 ''I thought the matter over, '" said the clergyman in recounting the expert ence, ''and finally agreed to return for the express purpose of complying with his wishes He was greatly pleased, as- sured me that it was very kind of me and hinted that l would be we'll repaid for my trouble and consideration
 ''So upon the day set for the ceremony l travelled nearly 900 miles. paid out $s. 50 for my railroad ticket and other accommodations and gave the happy couple one of the best marriage services in my repertory.
 After the ceremony the groom came to me, blushing furiously, slipped $5 bill into my hand and in all serious ness said:
 |" This Is all have to give you now, tut l hope to able to do better next time.
 'I was S3.J) c-t of pocket on the transaction. and guess I'll let him hunt up somebody else next time. ''- Cleveland Leader.

 The Forresters entertained their
 guests last evening in a splendid
 fashion. There were about forty couples present. The evenings en- tertaInment was introduced by a
 literary programme, followed by dancing until 2 o'clock this morn ing, with the exception of an inter mission long enough 10 partake of excellent refreshments. The music was furnished by Willbanks' new orchestra, which was recently rc- inforced by a fine musician from Chicago, and is highly spoken of. The Forresters, as a Prescott organi- zation, are new, although being an old order, and their first entertain ment created a very favorable inn impression among those present.
 Monroe Browning, accompanied by his wife, arrived in Prescott yes terday from Illinois, with a view of locating here permanently. Mir. Browning Is a first class violiniSt, having been recently a student at the Chicago Conservatory of Music. ! He rendered a violin solo last even ing at the FOresters' entertainmeut, 1 which was greatly appreciated by . those present. Mr. Browning was induced to come here by representa- ions made to him by members of | he brass band. He will give lessons Dn the violin and will also engage in piano tuning. As 1t is his desire to 'eside here permanently. our citizens ihould give him the preference over raveling piano tuners and musicians. ie will be valuable acquisition to he band, as we'll as to the musical ircles generally of the town.
