"ZE FLAvEUR DEL AT one
of his famous little dinners, promi-
nent professional man of Washington
was greatly pleased with the salad, as
were also his guests. Evidently it was
partly meat and partly vegetable; but
the flavor was new, distinct and unde.
-terminable. This was so faint that
one guest declared, "It's not taste at
all; only SMELL"
At length some one suggested that
the chief be asked for the recipe, upon
which the host remarked:
"My man greatly dislikes being ask
cd for recipes. On this occasion, how
ever, his vanity may overcome him if
we tell how greatly we have enjoyed
the dinner, and the salad, in particular.
At any rate, we'll see."
The Frenchman soon appeared, and
was visibly affected, not to say elated,
by the compliments.
"Eeet gif me gret plaisir," he said,

WEIRD Work OF THE TYPES
"The most appropriate error that l
ever saw" said Will Zeigler, few
days ago, twas one that came under
nv observation when was out in Col
orado. 1t happened at Colorado
Springs when the mining excitement
there was at its height. Every man,
woman and child in the town owned
stock in some mine, and only about
one-half of per cent. realized any
thing on their investments. One dass'
the news was circulated about town
that man high up in mining circles
a stock manuipulator and mine own,
er-had died suddenly of heart disease.
A local paper held the press to get an
account of the death, and the editor
wrote double column headline which
began, "Death Loves Shining Mark.
The paper came out in about half an
hour; but the horror-stricken readers
were treated to a headline like this,
Death Loves Mining Shark 1t was
a simple case of transposition in the
composing room of that paper; but it
liked to have wrecked the plant. And
it never was altogether clear that the
compositor who set it up hadn't made
the mistake on purpose. He had been
dabbling in mining stock little him

TURNING A JOKE ON A VENTRIL'
ooUIsT.-Maccabe, the ventriloquist
was a great practical joker. Several
years ago, he was on board a river
steamboat, and having made friends
with the engineer, was allowed the
freedom of the engine room. He took
a seat in the corner, and, pulling his
hat down over his eyes, appeared LOST
in reverie.
Presently certain part of the ma
chinery began to creak. The engineer
oiled it and went about his duties. In
the course of few minutes the creak'
ing was heard again, and the engineer
rushed over, oil can in hand, to lubri
cate the same crank.
Again he resumed his post; but ii
was only a few minutes before the
same old crank was creaking louder
than ever.
"Great Jupiterr' he yelled, "The
things bewitched !"
More oil was administered but the
engineer began to smell rat. Pretty
soon the crank squeaked again, when
slipping up behind Maccabe, he squirt
ed half pint of oil down the joker's
back.
"There," said he, ~ guess that crank
won't squeak any more. ."-Scraps.

fall improved it so greatly that the
output will be fully 80 per cent of the
average. This means that the crop
will be 1OO,OOO,OOO bushels greater
than had been expected, or cash in
crease of $95, 100000 to the farmer for
one days rain. In Nebraska 10 days.
ago it looked as though the corn would
be only half the usual crop; but "a
hours of rainfall has so greatly i'm
proved it that its market value is
estimated to be $51, 500, 1862 more than
it was on July 1. In other words, the
corn in these two states is worth more
by $S3,O00,O0O than it would have
been but for days rain at a time
when it was most needed" The
figures indicate very strongly what
artificial irregation is worth whenever
it is practical to apply it.

CHILDREN'S SHOES.

So much of our comfort in life de-
pends upon the shoes we wear, and
upon the condition of our feet, that
too much vigilance cannot be exercised
by mothers in the choice of shoes for
their children. Every one knows that
the shoe bill is a constantly recurring
item of expense; that growing boys
especially, run through their shoes in a
manner most alarming to paterfamilias.
In some parts of our country it is the
custom for little feet to 60 unshod ex-
cept during the cold weather, and the
claim is made by those who favor this
fashion that barefooted children enjoy
almost perfect immunity from colds, and
that their little feet develop more SYM
metrically than they would if cramp-
ed up in tight shoes. But why should
the shoes be unnecessarily tight or un-
comfortably looseP In buying shoes it
is as we'll to have them fit the feet.
They should be little longer than the
feet, because when the child stands,
and the weight of the body is thrown
largely upward on the great toe, which
is pushed forward, too short shoe is
likely to give the most distressing
trouble-an ingrowing nail-and it
may be the reason also of enlarged
joints. Shoes which crowd the toes
together are apt to produce corns. No
little child's foot should have corn,
bunion or ingrowing nail. The mother
should herself attend to the pairing Of
the toe nails, and should see that>they
are cut squarely, in such>>a manner
that there will be no corners to grow
into the flesh. Stockings should be
very smooth, and it is perhaps unnec-
essary to add that the frequent bathing
of the feet, keeping the perfectly
clean, and wiping them perfectly dry,
especially between the toes, has a
great deal to do with their comfort and
Immunity from trouble.
Thick shoes are better than thin for
outdoor wear; but while they are
thick, they should not be clumsy. 1t
is we'll to spend ones money freely on
shoes and stockings in the dressing of
children, letting the rest of the habili-
ments be plain and coarse if necessary:
A child whose feet arc well dressed
will have an effect of being cared for
which is not gained by a little creature
on whose clothing the mother has
spent hours of time in the way of
frills, ruffies and embroidery. If pos
sible, have several pairs of shoes at
once, and let the children alternate in
wearing them.-Harper's Bazaar.

He WANTED A DRINK.-Some years
ago, Colonel Crisp was in New York,
and being in attendance at a certain
notable political gathering in Madison
Square Garden, was called upon for a
speech. And did he accept? Well, rath'
er! Running his fingers through bis
hair, adjusting his vest and pushing up
his coat sleeves, he started in to sprin-
kle eagle feathers all over the stage.
The colonel is stout man and has a
thirst in proportion. In the course OF
his passionate harangue he became very
warm and asked that some water be
provided. In compliance with the re.
quest diminutive pitcher and dainty
little glasses were brought and placed
before him.
Colonel Crisp looked at it intently
for few moments, and then "What is
this ?" he thundered.
"W-w-water," timidly answered one
of the vice presidents.
"Young man." beloved the colonel,
his nostrils quivering with suppressed
rage, "either bring me bucket and a
gourd or lead me to the branch."-

The VALUE OF GOOD RAIN
"The money value of rain is the SUBJ
