Hest and Worst.

rs this the best wurst you can send
me?' asked the lady who walked into
the meat store with n package of that
edible in her hand.
Madam" answered the meat man,
"it Is the best wurst we have"
We'll, 1t Is the worst wurst | ever
saw"
II am sorry to hear that The best
| can do is to try and send you some
better wurst from today's lot; but, as
said, that Is the best wurst we have
at present. l am sure, however, that
the wurst we are now making will not
be any worse than this, and 1t ought to
be better. assure you that as soon as
l get the wurst you shall have the best
of 1t. We never gave any one the
worst of 1t 80 long as we have been In
the wurst business. and you may be
sure that when we give you your wurst
1t will be the best, for our worst wurst
is better wurst than the best wurst of
our competitors"
But the lady, whose eyes had taken
on a stare of glasslness, was seen to
throw up her hands and flee from the
place, for she was afraid the worst was
yet to come.-Baltimore American.

Paris has been described as a gigan-
tic mousetrap with three doors labeled,
respectively, hotel, cafe and restaurant.
The city has about 10000 hotels. There
are restaurants In every block, and you
can find cafes at almost every step.
AT almost any restaurant you are sure
of good cooking. You can eat well any
where and at any price. There are
scores of places where the meals cost
as high as In the better restaurants of
New York and hundreds where you
can get very fair dinner for 80 cents.
or If you would have wine, for 10
cents additional. There is one stock
company which does an enormous bust
ness In supplying cheap and good food
for Parisians. 1t was founded by a
butcher who has his shops still in diff
ferent parts of the city. This company
has 100 or more restaurants where you
can always be sure of good service and
good food. You pay for what you eat
and pay for everything, but the prices
are low

A Curiou. Old ye-.e,

A British army officer discovered
among some old manuscripts a draw
ing of a man-of-war which was bull
in 1000 for the japanese government
The vessel was of immense size, was
covered with sheets of iron and cop
per and was provided with two rud
ders.
Furthermore the manuscript In which
the drawing was wrapped says that
at contained a very ingenious appa-
ratus, which was set in motion by two
dozen men. equipped with iron oars"
The vessel resembled a turtle IL
shape and was armed with ten large
cannon.
The drawing Is very exact, and ex-
perts say there is no doubt as to Its
authenticity.

1901 men appointed a committee which drew up
the resolutions, and the freshmen voted to ac-
cept the conditions required. Up to this time
the first year men were subjected to all kinds OF
humiliatng performances
Hazing in its milder FORMS probably better
named horse play still goes on in Princeton
and every alumnus, except some OF the strlct
reformers, believes it is most valuable thlng
for the finished prep" boys. A few illustrations
of this kind of hazng, which show cleVerness
and good feeling, and which initiate the hrst
year men into Princeton customs and inspire
them with Princeton spirit, are worthy OF men
ton. One evening a year ago last october
harry knot of sophomores hailed Nicholas G
Roosevelt of New Rochelle. N. Y, a 1904 youth
and cousin of President Roosevelt, and with
some thirty of his classmates, all armed with
imaginary rifles, ordered him to lead charge
up San Juan Hill (Nassau-st), which was exc
cuted with such skill and bravery that young
Teddy" and his regiment were thereupon mus
tered out of service with suitable hOnOrs. John
P Sousa jr. of New-York, of the mu-
sician one Saturday afternoon fell prey to
the sophomores, who, furnishing him and
score of his classmates with properly tuned tin
horns lay down under the big elms while for
half an hour young Sousa's band discoursed to
them the sweet strains of Sousa's latest march.

freshmen defeat the plans of the sophomores.

freshmen quietly forced open a window, painted
their numerals upon it and made good their
escape, much to the chagrin of their sophomore
friends.
One of the greatest features of the under
graduate life is what is called the "pee-rades
These paradeS occur whenever an appropriate
occasion arises, either of political historical or
local significance. For years it has been the
custom of the senior class to attend the annual
class baseball games held in October dressed
in fantastic costumes in the makeup of cele-
brated characters, such Uncle Sam, Dom
Paul KRUGER, Teddy Roosevelt, and as police
men, South Sea Islanders and Filipinos;
animals, such apes, monkeys and ele-
plants, together with personifcatiOns of local
celebrities, and scattered here and there over
the heads of this peculiar mass of humanity are
to be seen numerous transparences bearing in
scrptiOns suggestive of undergraduate wit and
humor.
But the great parade of the year comes with
the annual Yale game played at Princeton.
Alumni as far back as the class of Al, of which
the venerable DR.. Theodore Cuyler, of Brooklyn,
is a member, down the years to the under
graduates, group together in their respective
classes and ''pee-rade' from Nassau Hall to the
grass covered diamond on University Field,

sau do battle for championship hOnors Each
class represented has it's specially designed COS
tunes, and the procession, numbering several
thousand Princeton men, affords no small spec
tacle as it moves slowly to the field and around
the cinder track to the bleachers which flank
the playing grounds To-day another Of these
annual ''pee-rades'' was held, and the scale on
which it carried out plainly shows that this
great Princeton custom is not in the least abat-
ing in interest, but is rather gaining in popu-
larity, and bids fair to live and thrive as long
the Blue and the Orange and Black meet and
cross bats on the diamond.
Added to these diversions that turn the under
graduates mind from his books and the class
room are the annual sOpnOmore-freshman cane
sprees and wrestling matches, the time honored
custom of stealing the clapper from Old North's
bell by the freshmen, and Of having it melted
and cast into miniature clappers, to be worn as
souvenirs by members of the class; the five
minute blasts of tin horns from the dOrmitOry
windows at 10 o'clock every night during the
examination weeks, accompanied with calls OF
Fresh fire." Lights Outi" ''Au over,' and the
like; the senior singing the steps of old

Dear Sirs-I have had occasion to use your
Pe-ru-named in my family for colds. and
it proved to be an excellent remedy. Ihave
not had occasion to use it for other ailments.
Yours very truly, W. NJ. LORD.
It will be noticed that the Governor says
he has not had occasion to use Pe-ru-na for
other ailments. The reason for this is, most
other ailments begin with q cold. Using
Pe-ru-na to promptly cure colds, he protects
hisfamily against other ailments. This is ex-
actly what every other family in the United
States should do. Keep Pe-ru-na in the
house. Use it for coughs, colds la grippe,
and other climatic affections of winter, and
there will be no other ailments in the house.
Such families should provide themselves
