Evarts' Puns.

William NJ. Evarts, secretary of
state under President Hayes, made
perhaps his best and his worst puns
from railway platforms while travel
ing with the presidential party.
They had assembled Mount Washing
ton by the steep cable road, and other
tourists, gathered there from all parts
of the country, called for speech.
1--WE are not strangers" said Mr..
Evarts genially. "We have all been
born and brought up here"
At another time, when travelling
through Tennessee, Mr.. Evarts laid a
wager with the young people of his
party that he could make pun upon
each town through which they should
pass. AS they reached Chattanooga
the crowd clamored for speech: Mr..
Evarts pleaded that as the train would
stop but moment he could only make
few Chattanoogatory remarks!
The unexpected element which char
acterizes pun was marked in all the
wit of Rufus Choate. 81 can't endure

A Curious Looking Egg.

A sharks egg is one Of the most odd
looking things imaginable and has no
more resemblance to an egg, strictly
speaking, than 1t has to paving stone.
In one variety it is pillow shaped and
has long thorn" or 'feeler," at each
corner. 1t is about two inches long
and the color almost pure black
1t is unprovided with shell, as we
understand that word, but the contents
are protected by thick, leathery COW
ering, which has almost as much eIas-
ITCHY about it as covering of rubber
would have.
The "feelers'' mentioned catch hold
Of and wind themselves around pieces
Of seaweed and other floating objects
and hang until the egg is Matched.
One variety Of the shark lays 10 eggs
during the month of April. These float
about until early in December, when
the little sharks emerge.

THE WORD BLIZZARD. 81
Said to Have Been Used In south Da.
kOta In the Sixties.

A well known book of reference
states that the Chicago Advance was
the originator of the word blizzard
on the Sth of January, 1880. Old tim
ers in South Dakota take exception to
the statement. A story is told by the
editor of the Hutchinson County Her
aid, who commenced his newspaper
work on the Dakota Republican, at
Vermillion, in August, 1867.
The Peake family, Swiss bell ringers,
arrived in Vermillion by stage. and
William Peake, manager of the bell
ringers, said to party of friends, Il
would like to see one of your billiards
have heard so much about" Mr.. True
answered: "All right We will order
one for your special benefit and have
1t here when you come back through
here from Yankton."
After showing three nights in Yank-
ton the troupe started homeward to
Sioux City, Mr.. Peake being on the
outside of the stage with the driver.
The morning was warm and balmy.
Mr.. Peake was astonished at the ac-
tons of the driver, who suddenly whip
ped up, and asked what the matter
was. T. G. Williams, who was driv-
ing, answered that he was afraid Mr..
True's order was going to be little
ahead Of time. Look to the north
west" said he. There was the blizzard
approaching in all it's fury. In almost
a minute the binding snow was being
whirled through the air, and Mr..
Peake withdrew to the inner part of
the stage. 1t was one Of the most ter
rife storms known to the territory,
which is saying considerable. The
Peake troupe was compelled to wait
several days at Vermil!ion until Mr..
True's blizzard had blown itself out

1t isn't as polite as it is intended to
be to say that a person has the appe-
tite Of bird. If human being ate as
much proporti0nately as does the av-
erage bird, the sight would be disgust
ing. In one shrike there have been
found the remains of 70 caterpillars, q
bugs, one field mouse and one leech. A
field hawk that was observed for 8
month is credited with a record Of
LOCO mice in that time. A tame owl
ate seven mice, one after the other,
and three hours afterward ate four
more. The robin eats on an average IA

Making a Child Too Quiet.

Play is the proper and natural outlet
Tor child's thoughts. To restrain his
motion is to drive back his living fancy
into the recesses Of his mind, and this
results in his confusion and unhappi-
ness. Some children who are forced to
be still and passive when they are
longing for action find relief in whis-
pering over stories to themselves, but
It is an unsatisfactory substitute for
dramatic action. And it is also moral
ly injurious, for the necessity Of con-
cealing ones ideas destroys after
awhile the ability for fluent express
sion and brings about timidity and dis
trust of our friends.-Florence Hull

PLEA FOR THE GOLDFISH.
Chef who Says This Fish Is Not
Appreciated at His Real worth.

"A Chef Who Says This Fish rs MOI
Appreciated at His Real worth.
IF Goldfish cost a dollar a pound, .
said the chef, lit would be- more uni
versally beloved. tell yo'L it is the
best dinner fish known. | have tried
the whitefish all over the world, but
the Goldfish IS king of them all and is
not appreciated at his real worth.
Cook him in any way you like and he
is delicious. Even the dried Goldfish,
picked up and served in cream for
breakfast, is fine dish. Put him in
a bag sew him up tightly, and let him
boil, or bake him carefully, well stuff
ed, and he is delicious.
Let me tell you that when you make
fish cakes you should not drown out
the fish with potato. Put as little po-
tato or other substance in the cakes
as possible, and, If you want them as
fine as they can be made, wrap them
In blanket Of eggs, and do not be
sparing Of the egg. You can make a
tasty dish of Goldfish cakes if you will
follow my advice. Fish cakes are con-
sidered very democratic dish, Of
course, but my patron, who pays me a
large salary, is as democratic as he
used to be in his younger days. When
he sends down to me an order for fish
cakes for the next mornings break
fast, he says he wants Meschutt's fish
cakes, with egg. That is the order.
and he is thinking Of his younger life
when, as he once told me. in a base
ment on Broadway he used to get the
finest butter cakes and fish cakes he
ever tasted, excepting yours, chef
he adds always. But I know that
dimes in those days were as $1,000
bills are to him now and his appetite
was keener and more appreciative,"-

A stout, elderly man was noticed
gazing earnestly at display of ''Bibles

A stroller passing halted to see what
this man was gazing at and remarked
that there was a fine assortment Of BIZ
bles.
"Yes," said the man, "but have one
at home older and bigger than any of
them" There did not seem to be any
connection between the age and size of
Bible, SO for lack of anything further
to say the stroller asked the man if he
had ever read his big Bible through.
YES" was the reply. II have read
it through II times"
"Holy Mosesw calculated the stroller.

SAUCY, BUT SELF RELIANT.
Such Is the Typical East Side Girl OF

Such Is the Typical East Side Girl OF
New York City.
1.-THE typical east side girl of New
York." writes Charles T. Brodhead in
The Ladies' Home Journal lis simply
product of her environments. She is
surrounded by the good, bad and indif-
ferent. She is in an atmosphere in
which no girl should be reared. Her
eyes and ears are closed to many dis
agreeable things around her. And she
shuts them simply because she does
not care to see and hear. Yet the east
side girl is no saint. Far from it. The
typical girl of that section is self re-
tempered, ready to fight with the
tongue, and even with fists if neces-
sary. She will dance all night and
work all day, repeat it three or four
times a week, then declare she isn't
tired and look bright and fresh all the
while. She will upbraid her mother,
whom she calls me ole woman and
abuse her father, referred to by her
as me ole man. cuff the ears Of her
younger brothers; have a hair pulling
match with sister; yet if any one
should dare utter word derogatOry to
the members of her family, Miss East
Side would go at them like wildcat.
She f1irts outrageously with motormen,
conductors and the like and will laugh
derisively at or slap the face of the
well dressed man who presumes to
become acquainted with her on the
street; remain night after night at the
bedside of a girl friend who is i'll and
follow begging cripple half block
to give her last cent for charity"

Now on Their summer Trip In Foreign

One Of the most pleasant things
about being an Annapolis cadet is the
chance they have Of going on summer
cruises. The second class men are now
aboard an old-fashioned sailing vessel,
such as was used by our navy before
we had steam warships. These young
men are required to do the work OF
common sailors; in fact, they do every
thing there is to be done on the boat
They started In June, and will return
in September They stop for week
or so at Plymouth, England. and ar
rangements have been made for them
to spend few days in London. Then
they sail for Lisbon, Portugal, and the
boys are wondering how Spain's neigh
bors will receive them. After that they
go to Gibraltar, and then home again.
OF course there is a good deal OF fun
to be got out Of the trip. and great
deal to see; but It is a part OF their
four years course at the naval acad-
emy, and they have to work hard
scrubbing decks and taking in sails,
and the slightest disobedience is pun
ished. Before they left this country
they stopped off Hampton Roads for
few days and went through a lot of
drilling, including the "deserting Of the
ship" In this drill the crew puts pro-
