III Man Were n Elea.

Snyder, the calculating barber, had
not opened his lips for fully four min
utes and it was plain to be seen that
he had something on his mind. Finally
he swallowed twice, breathed hard for
a moment and gave vent to his feelings
in this manner:
"I've been thinking what l could do
II were only flea. read in a scien-
tific paper the other day that If man
were built on the same lines as q flea
he could jump from Philadelphia to
Pittsburg in one leap. mean. Of
course. if he had all the power Of a
flea increased in proportion to his size.
Think how quickly he could circum
navigate the globe. 1t might be posi-
bic to get around the world in an hour
The distance from Philadelphia to
Pittsburg is 354 miles. and the equato.
rial circumference of the earth is o.
002 miles.
"A simple calculations in mental arith-
metic will show you that this would be

wouldn't take Il minute for each jump

"NOt IL 1t Were My hoy"

Some years ago the late Horace
Mann, the eminent educator, delivered
an address at the opening of some re-
formatory institution for boys, during
which he remarked that if only one
boy was saved from ruin it would pay
for all the cost and care and labor of
establishing such an institution as that.
After the exercises had closed, in pri-
vate conversation, a gentleman rallied
Mr.. Mann upon his statement and said
to him: "
"Did you not color that little when
you said that all that expense and la
Dor would be repaid if it only saved
enc boy"
mot If 1t were my boy" was the
solemn and convincing reply.

Bismarck's Appetite.

Among other amusing "reminiscences
OF the late Prince Bismarck appearing
In Herr John Booths memoirs of the
Iron Chancellor" is one relating to the
latter's gargantuan capacity for eating
and drinking. He told the author that
the largest number Of oysters he ever
ate was 175. He first ordered 25; then,
as they were very good. so more, and,
consuming these, determined to eat
nothing else and ordered another hun
dred, to the great amusement Of those
present. Bismarck was then 26 and
had just returned from England.

Felicia never looked so beautiful in
her life. She walked on u little way

heart that she had given it to Stephen

said shyly, while her face grew ROSY

was said during that walk is private
