ABSENT-MINDED PEOPLE.

An amusing story is told of the late
Louis Pasteur. While dining at his
son in laws one evening, it was noticed
that he dipped his cherries in his glass
of water, and then carefully wiped
them before eating them. AS this
caused some amusement, he held forth
at length On the dangers of the mi
crobes with which the cherries were
covered. Then he leaned back in his
chair. wiped his forehead, aud, uncon-
sciously picking up his glass, drank
off the the contents, microbes and all =!
A friend called upon Peter Bur
rowes, the celebrated Irish barrister,
one morning in his dressing-room.
found him shaving with his face to the
wall, and asked him why he chose SO
strange an attitude. The answer was,

is no glass there = said the friend
"Bless me u exclaimed Burrowes, ~

ringing the bell, he called the servant
and questioned him respecting the
looking-glass which had been hanging
on the wall. "Oh, SIR" said the SER

A certain learned professor is very
absent minded man. A friend of his
had been seriously i'll. When he was
convalescent, the professor used to
send him jellies and other delicacies
One day he took him fine bunch of
dollhouse grapes. The old friends
were very pleased TO see each other,
and were soon deep in discussion.
The professor, becoming interested,
began absent-mindedly, picking the
grapes, taking one at a time till they
were all gone. On going out of the
door he called back to his friend,
Now, mind you eat those grapes,
they will do you all the good in the
world J"
A well-known lawyer is also noted
for his Observation-Disclosures. Dining at
home one evening, he found fault with
the flavor of the soup. Next evening
he dined out at large dinner party.
Forgetting for the moment that he
was not in his own house, but a guest,
he observed across the table to his
wife, This soup is, my dear, again a
