Making Them All One.

An elderly minister is fond OF telling
of a 'break' he o1ce made at double
wedding of two sisters. 1t was ar
ranged that the two couples should be
married with one ceremony, the two
brides responding at the same time
and the two bridegrooms doing the
same. There had not been any pre-
vious rehearsal, as the minister had
come long distance and had reached
the church but few minutes before
the time for the ceremony.
All went well until it came time for
the minister to say, "And now l pro-
nounce you man and wife"
It suddenly became obvious to the
minister that the usual formula would
not do in the case of two men and two
wives, and he could not think Of any
way of making "man'' and wife"
plural in the sentence. In his despera-
ton and confusion he lifted his hands
and said solemnly:
'And now ! pronounce you, one and
all, husband and wife:'

How she Made q Profit.

In Paris gentleman who is very
fond of fine paintings bought for $4,000
francs a work entitled 1.-THE Bride OF
Abydos'' and was congratulating him
self on becoming its possessor when he
suddenly remembered that his wife
disliked very much to see him spend
his money In this manner.
'How can avoid scene?" he asked
himself. IF say that the painting
cost $1,000 francs, there viii be an
awful time, and SO I'd better say 1000.
No; I'll say 4,000."
By this time he had reached home,
and when he saw his wife he told her
unblushingly that he had just secured
beautiful work of art for the nomi-
nal sum of 5000 francs. At this good
news she seemed more disconnected
than pleased, but said nothing, and
the painting was hung up.
Next day the gentleman was obliged
to go to the south OF FNance, and when
he returned after a weeks absence
his wife met him with beaming coun-
tenance and said: 1--WE done a good
stroke OF business while you were
away. You know that painting you
bought for 1900 francs? Well, I sold
It yesterday for 4,500. clear profit ol
1900 francs!'

There are some solid hoofed hogs In
the world, but they are few and far
between. Darwin has great deal to
say about such pigs In his Origin of
Species," as there were only three in
England at the time he wrote this
book
The solid hoofed hog is not freak
OF nature, as many suppose, but gen.
uine case of reyersion to primitive
or ancestral type. 1t seems that, un-
like the prehistoric ancestor OF the
modern horse, which has four toes or
hoofs. the old elotherium, from which
animal all members of the swine fam
lily are descended, had solid hoof,
and in the course of ages, as the old
parent form died out apd the modern
wild boer, domestic hog, peccary, etc,
were evolved this solid hoof became
through what Darwia calls 'adapta-
tion" and natural selection" divided
up into two parts, SO that all modern
hogs are cloven hoofed Occasionally.

Try Thfs-.Drop a Penny.

Have you ever noticed the interest
that money attracts even if it is only
a single cent? The next time that you
see copper coin dropped in street
car Just observe. Every eye in the
car will turn to the spot where it
dropped, and there will be manifested
a real general concern over its recov-
cry. Two or three heads are likely
to come in contact over the point of it's
disappearance, and then their owners
will draw suddenly back and try to
appear unconcerned, but in another
second they are again leaning forward.
The man who dropped the cent is
usually the first who appears to have
brushed memory Of the trivial occur,
renee aside, but just as soon as the
eyes in the car have turned from him
his own are sure to go back to the
floor in the hope that the ruant coin
will be seen.
When he has gone, there is re-
newed interest among the passengers
for the stage of finders keepers" has
arrived, and those near the spot OF
disappearance become quite diligen1
until they are aware they make cen
ter of attraction. But interest in that
little coin is not lost while there is
passenger left, and when the car is
empty the conductor takes his turI
and resurrects the cent.-NeW YorB
