He Couldn't Understand It.

Bilkins and his wife occupied seats in the dress circle. The curtain had just gone up for the second act, the first scene showing the heroine in street cos tune. As Bilkins rested his gaze upon the woman his face wore puzzled ex pressiOn. Several times he took hurried glances at the programme he had in his hand He became so deeply interested that he attracted the attention of his wife
 What do you see that interests you so?' inquired his wife. "She isn't pretty

 "Why, that she should still be wear ing the same hat, t," explained Bilkins ''The programme says there is lapse of two years between the first and sec ond acts. "-Ohio State Journal

HamIet's Bowl of Cruel.

George Melville, an old English actor, was fond of telling funny story at his own expense. He was acting Hamlet in Bristol. It was the actors rule to take a bowl of gruel in the course of the evening, and his landlady sent over the usual refreshment from the lodgings in Queen square. She happened to have a thew" servant girl, who was explicitly directed to get to the stage door by the entrance from Bank street and then carry the gruel into the greenroom She arrived at moment when Mir Melville was lon. Being unused to the ways of the theater, she asked a man at the wings where MT Melville was.
 "There. said the super. pointing to the stage.
 The actor was in the middle of the soliloquy, ''To be or not to be, when the girl advanced toward him. bearing the bowl. and said. If you please, MT Melville. sir. here is your gruel"

THE PROFESSORS BABY.
Medical Students Provided a Sur priSing Array of Presents For It.

Medical Students Provided Sur
 priSing Array of Presents For It.
 ''When was a medical student in the University of Pennsylvania, said the doctor, ''the boys celebrated an in- teresting event in the domestic life of one of the professors in a unique way. The news that the favorite professor was happy father reached the students On Thursday morning, and that after
 a on and evening there were consulta- tionS held all over the university build ings, and sundry dimes and quarters were collected by two or three of the students, who constituted a sort of finance committee. Every Friday morn ing the professor gave lecture to the students in the amphitheater. The sub ject for the lecture that week was The Relation of the Sympathetic Nervous System to the Nerve Centers of the Brain, and half an hour before the time set for the lecture every man in the class, which numbered about $50, was in his place waiting for the fun to begin. and glancing now and then to- ward the three long operating tables in the center of the room.
 Promptly at 10 o'clock the door opened and the favorite professor enter ed the amphitheater. He carefully closed the door behind him, then with self conscious clearing of his throat turned toward the class. At the first glance his jaw fell, while every one of the $50 fends in the seats above began to yell at the top of his lungs. Spread out upon the three long operating tables were about 150 baby's toys and furnishings of every kind and description. There were rattlas by the dozen, Noah's arks. dolls of all sizes, a toy cooking stove, a baby carriage, an embroidered flannel petticOat, nursing bottle lying in a graduated glass, pair of little blue kid shoes and other things too numerous to mention. After the first shock of sur prise and embarrassment, the professor was game. He thanked us, in speech peppered with five syllabled words, for our thoughtfuiness in thus providing for the future needs of his offspring. but he observed, after a careful exami nation of the various instruments of in- fantile delight spread out before him, that we had forgotten one thing, bot tie of paregoric. Then he yawned in a way suggestive of midnight vigils and turned his attention to The Relation of | the Sympathetic Nervous System to the Nerve Centers of the Brain.
 But he was not allowed to proceed ! beyond the first sentence or two His | attention was drawn to the blackboard. | where some student of artistic tenden- cies had drawn an elaborately decorated | design in ped, white and blue chalk. | Is Marriage Failure? The poor pro lessor. seeing that there was no possi- | bility of serious lecture that morning, | entertained us for about ten minutes on the text posted on the blackboard; then. after inviting us all to visit the new conner in the immediate future, he marched off to the music of $50 voices l singing, Go to Sleep, My Little Pick aninny and Daddy Wouldn't Buy Me a Bowwow New York Sun.

OriginaIff No. Accurate.

This, says The Scottish Leader, is a genuine extract from a schoolboy's re- cent Essay on Nelson :''
 "Ohi Harding, kiss me again. were the butefull words of heroik mortal who won grate battle with one eye and wooden leg Before the bloody context this motto was uttered by him The queen expects every man to do his duty" When he died the queen met him in boat and he went to St Paul's and was buried This is marvellous lesson to me and all schoolboys Do your duty to your parstors and masters and then even with single leg you can iay, with this simple thing will do my duty. " As Nelson himself said. Even though you are only man you can do your duty.

On Landing Troops,

In landing force on a hostile shore a great deal more has to be provided than the vessels to carry it. There are people who discuss an invasion, and who seem to have an idea that the mat ter is limited to crowding a number of soldiers on a ship and directing them to be landed at certain place There is no consideration of how they are to get on shore with their arms, guns and ammunition; that merchant ships have only a few boats, and that artillery cannot be transferred from ship to beach without any previous prepara tion. When we consider that, notwith- standing the support and resources of large combined fleet and the presence of transports, more than a month of hard work was required before an ar- my of 90, 1000 men could be landed in the Crimea, we are justified in doubt ing those who assert that the invasion of our shores with 150, 900 or 200, 900 men is not only within the bounds of possibility, but by no means so difficult an undertaking as is often stated ''Wilmot's s Life of Vice Admiral Lord Lyons.

the same conversation-both this after noon. Can't you see? And you know why I tried to stop coming here. I could not ask you to marry me, and without that could honorably tell you of my love? AS for Annie Bennett, haven't laid eyes on her for two"
 ''That will do, pr. Buchanan" said Enid, rising, you need not try to ex plain any further. I take back my promise; all Is over between us for everp and she could not hold back the sob in her throat.
 Miserably enough, Robert picked up his hat and passed out into the hall. With his hand on the street door he paused.
 He muttered, 'It is now or never; I'll risk it."
 When he re-entered the room Enid was standing before the mantel.
 Enid" he began, humbly, forgive me if say one more word. I cannot leave you in this way. I was so astounded at what you were saying that I foGSot another offer my uncle made me-"
 He paused, but she did not help him. Robert continued:
 "He named another girl, and said that if I would marry her he would give me $50,000."
 "Ohv'
 "Yes, he really did,"
 "And who-who was the other girl?"
 "Well, Enid, I was so overjoyed at the offer about you that rushed off here without waiting to hear the rest

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results from a mothers ignorance; or more frequently from a mothers neglect to properly instruct her daughter!
 Tradition says woman must suffer" |" and young women are so taught. There is a little truth and a great deal of exaggeration in this. If young woman suffers severely she needs treatment and her mother should see that she gets it.
 Many mothers hesitate to take their daughters to physician for examina tion: but no mother need hesitate to write freely about her daughter or herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure the most efficient advice without charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynn, Mass.
 The following letter from Miss MARIE F. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what neglect will do, and tells how Mrs. Pinkham helped her:
 "My health became so poor that I had to leave school. was tired all the time, and had dreadful pains in my side and back. l was also troubled with irregularity of menses. I was very weak, and lost so much flesh that my friends became alarmed. My mother, who is a firm believer in your remedies from experience, thought per haps they might benefit me, and wrote YOU for advice. I followed the advice you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as you directed, and am now as we'll as l ever was.' 1 have gained flesh and have a good color. am completely cured of irregularity.
