THE WIT OF JEKYLL.

Once Ershine, whose irritable con-
stitution subjected him at times to
the attacks of hypochondria, with a
lachrymore visage addressed Jekyll
in the court of the Kings Bench,
complaining, "that he had severe
pain in his bowels, and that he had
tried remedy after remedy without
obtaining relief.' ga pain in your
bowels |" exclaimed Jekyll, "a pain
in your bowels Get yourself made
encouragement and then you will
have no bowels at all -
A Welsh judge, famous both for
his neglect of personal cleanliness,
and his Unsuitable desire for peace,
was once addressed by Mr.. Jekyll,a
follows: "My dear sir, as you have
asked the minister for every thing
else, why have you never asked him
for a piece of soap and nail
brush"
An attorney named Else, rather
diminutive in his stature, and not
particularly respectable..in his char
acter, once met Mr.. Jekyll. "Sir,"
said he, I hear you have called me a
petty tagging scoundTell Have
you done, so sir?' "Sir" replied
Jekyll, with look of contempt, 81

AeW Men able TO Use the Same Brand
of Tobacco Continuously.
A nervous man dashed into a large to-
bacco store down town in Broadway and
said to the proprietor:
Look here, Billy, I've been buying
smoking tobacco from you for long
Time and no sooner do I find brand that
suits mo than yon begin to adulterate it,
and it doesn't taste as it did. This blank
brand which have been smoking for four
months now has gone all to pieces. want
something new.
why not Try the tobacco that you liked
so well before you took up this brand2'
asked the proprietor "It has been i'm
proved, and 1 think that you will enjoy
it"
The nervous man accepted it and went
out.
'sHe will como in in about three days
for another box of that tobacco and tell
me that it is just what he has been look
ing for, remarked the proprietor to an
other customer. she will smoke it for
three or four months and then he will
complain bitterly that the manufacturers
are adulterating it with cheap tobacco,
and he will make a change. Does the to-
bacco ohangef Why, yes, very little bit,
but not enough for him to detect the diff
ference. 1t has happened that when he
complains the loudest about it the tobacco
is the best. The explanation is simple
he gets tired of brand in about three
months, and then it doesn't taste right to
him. That is true of many smokers. To
enjoy their tobacco they need change oc-
casionally.
General Grant was the only hard
smoker have ever known who didn't re-
quire a change. He wanted good cigars,
and he wanted them strong. He was not
cranky about their shape or make SO long
as they smoked easily. I haYe one customer
he is now nearly 20 years old-who
bought cigars from mo when first began
selling them, and he buys nearly the same
brand. His taste in tobacco has not
changed, but he is an exception. 1t is q
fact, though few smokers realize it, that
man needs change in his tobacco Just as
much as in his food. No man would en-
joy the same dinner day after day. Few
men can smoke the same brand of cigars
or smoking tobacco month after month
without having it pail on their taste at
times. This man who was in here mo-
ment ago thinks that the tobacco itself
changes. He considers himself judge of
tobacco, and humor him by seeming to
agree with him and give him another
brand when he complains. New York

1t is abruptly countersunk in the forest
plateau, says John Muir in The Atlantic,
SO that you see nothing of it until you are
suddenly stopped on it's brink with its i'm
measurable wealth of divinely colored and
soulptured buildings before you and be-
meath you. No matter how far you may
have wandered hitherto or how many IA
nous gorges and valleys you have seen, this
one, the Grand canyon of the Colorado,
viii seem as novel to You, as unearthly in
the color and grandeur and quantity of
its architecture, as ii you had found it aft
er death on some other star; SO incompar-
ably lovely and grand and supreme is it
above all the other delightful canyons in
our fire nodded, earthquake shaken, rain
washed, wave washed, river and glacier
sculptured world. 1t is about G, 900 feet
deep where you first see 1t, and from rim
to rim 10 to Is miles wide. And instead
of being dependent for interest on water
falls, depth, wall sculpture and beauty of
parklike floor, like most other great can
yons, no waterfalls are in sight and no
appreoiable floor space.
The big river has just room enough to
flow and roar obaourely, here and there
cropping its way as best it can like weary,
murmuring, overladen traveller trying to
escape from the tremendous bewildering
labyrinthic abyss, while its roar serves
only to mellow and deepen the silence.
Instead of being filled only with air the
vast space between the walls is crowded
with natures grandest buildings sub

ture. Every architectural invention of

One day in early summer, when the
commercials had met as usual for din
ner, the waitress appeared bearing small
dish of peas, apologizing for there being
SO few, the fact being that no more could
be obtained. Immediately the dish was
set down it was seized by the ''grabber, /"
who emptied the whole contents on his
plate, saying:
''As there arc not enough to go around.
it would be pity to part them. So I'll
take tho lot myself"
At this another traveller seated opposite
quietly took up the pepper box, unscrewod
the top and poured the whole of the pepper
over tho peas, with the calm remark:
AS you have got all the peas, you may
as we'll have all the pepper too"
A murmur of applause went round, and
from that day the grabbing one found it
convenient to alter his line of route and
take a different journey. - Pearson's

THE SYMPATHETIC SAILOR.

=
An actress 10 a drama, personated
a poor, fii.ndless orphan, reduced
to the most wretched poverty. A
heartIess tradesman prosecuted the
sad orphan for debt, and insists on
putting her in PRISON, unless she
pays it or furnishes security. The
girl replies, 'sThen / have no hope
I have not friend in the world
"What r exclaims the tradesman,
twill no one go bail for you, to save
you from prison ~ Il have told
you I've not a friend on earth,n was
her reply.
Scarcely had she uttered these
distressing words, when sailor ia
the upper gallery was seen to spring
over the railway, letting himself
from one tier to the other. until he
bounded clear over the orchestra
and foo,lights, and placed himself
beside the actress in moment, ex-
claiming, "Yes, you have one friend
at least, my poor woman" with the
greatest expression of earnest sympa-
thy in his snnburnt countenance.
II will go bail for you any moment,
and for you, Cunning to the actor,
If you don't bear hand, and SHIFT
your mooring, you lubber, it will be
worse for you when / come athwart
your bows"
Every one in the house applauded,
and the uproar was Undesirable.
And amid the universal din stood
the sailor, the unconscious cause of
it, sheltering the poor young woman
and breathing defiance against her
prosecutor. He was only persuad
ed to relinguish his care of the girl
by the managers pretending to ar
rive to rescue the orphan with a
profusion of bank notes.
