The One That Chose to Pay.

Three men had been out on a spree,
and ON the way home late at night
they made a wager that the one who
did not do as his wife told him should
pay for a champagne supper the fol-
lowing night.
The first one returned home, and his
wife greeted him thus:
"Hello. you beauty! That's right.
knock all the ornaments of the mantel-
piecew
He knocked them all off.
The second returned and on going
into his house fell against the piano.
whereupon his wife said:
go on; get a chopper and smash 1t
upw
He did so.
The third returned, and on going up
stairs his wife said:
"You miserable scamp, fall down
stairs and break your neck"
Needless to say, he paid for the sup.

Ugliness at a Premium.

In the town of Haschmann, Ger
many, prizes are offered yearly for the
men who will marry the ugliest or the
most crippled and to the women over
forty who have been Tilted ut least
twice. The money was left by a big
fnancier, and he, realizing that beauty
is an attraction hard to overcome, made
a provision in his will that out of the
income of the fund not less than ZIG
shall go with the ugliest girl in any
year and the cripple shall receive f12.
The four women over forty who have
been Tilted by lover receive, when the
funds will permit, f10 each. but the
trustee can vary this amount and at
his own discretion offer n larger prize
to some one who will marry an unusu-
ally ugly girl or one to whom nature
has been specially unkind.-Tatler.

useful in preventing an impending CO.
tastrophe is recorded of a daughter of
Mrs. Rutherford. at Ederton, the grand
daughter of Sir Walter Scott This la
dy dreamed more than once that her
mother had been murdered by black
servant. She was so much upset by
this that she returned home, and, to
her great establishment and not little
to her dismay, she met on entering the
house the very black servant she had
met in her dream. He had been en-
gagged in her absence. She prevailed
upon a gentleman to watch in an adj
joining room during the following
night.
About o'clock in the morning the
gentleman heard footsteps on the
stairs, came out and met the servant
carrying quantity of Goals. Being
questioned as to where he was going,
he answered confusedly that he was
going to mend the mistress fire. which
ut o'clock in the morning in the mid
die Of summer was evidently impossi-
BILE. On further investigation q strong
knife was found hidden in the Goals.
The lady escaped, but the man was
subsequently, hanged for murder, and
before his execution he confessed that
he intended to have assassinated Mrs.
Rutherford.
