Scrro's Kicking Hair.

A boy big enough to have reached
the subject Of races Of .men-not horses
in his geography class was asked to
describe the negro. His answer. "Thc
negro has kicking hair and producing
lips" showed that he had at least
heard the teacher when she spoke Of
the "kinky" hair and projecting lips
chara cterizing his dark skinned broth
er. His answer really was not so fun
ny as the remark made by woman
who in speaking Of her sister said feel
ingly, "Oh. she's all misconstrued, 50
we had to take her to the hospital for
performance."-N York Herald.

L;rbtning.s Affinity For Oak.

Electricity in the clouds, like its COM
panion lower down, loves to seek the
earth, the great reservoir Of all cleo
tricity, and it finds the most available
way to do so, choosing always the best
conductor, conspicuous among which
are the much maligned lightning rod,
the high trees or the elevated steeple. 1t
has its choice of trees as well as other
things and will leap over half an acre
Of trees to find an oak, for which it ap-
pears to have a special attraction, and
it will pass q high point to find build
ing that has metal about it.

THE PLAY WAS STOPPED.
But It Was Not by the Orders of the
French President.

But 1t Was Not by the Orders Oh tne
French President.
NJ. Sardou, the French playwright,
once pro1ited by 4 joke that Genera!
Iadmirault, who WAS at the time gov
ernor of Paris. played on NJ. Theirs.
Sardou had written "Rabagas. and
the play had been given its dress re-
hcarsal in camera 1t was diSpleas-
Ing to Thiers. and he undertook to stop
its public performance.
AS General Ladmirault was dressing
for dinner, about 6 in the evening. an
officer entered his dressing room and
rendered 4 dispatch, which, he said,
had come direct from Versailles.
The officer went out, and the general,
continuing his toilet, said to himself
that he was certain that that dispatch
was the Introduction of "RabagaS,' y
and, having a friendly feeling for the
author, the general left the dispatch
unopened when he left the room.
The next morning came messenger
posthaste from Versailles, "'Rabagas'
was performed last night"
without doubt" negligently replied
the general.
but the dispatch?
"What diSpatch:'
From NJ. Theirs, interdicting the
performance"
Goodness mer' replied the general.
81 left it unopened on the table. See,
there it is, the seal unbroken. Still
that makes little difference. Every
thing passed off well. They nearly
hissed the play off the stage, and 1t
will be the same at every performance
Tell NJ. Theirs that he has no cause
for alarm"
"Rabacas" was withdrawn, but not
by the orders OF N. Theirs.

An Artists Lament.

Otto Lasins in his diary describes q
walk be took one day with Bochlin, the
famous artist, near Zurich. Bocb1in
was in raptures over the colors Of the
autumn leaves, the blue sky, the
clouds. "Ah, those are colors!" be ex-
claimed. IF we could have those Oh
cur palettes! How weak are our means
in comparison with those Of nature.
White is our best light, and only by
means of clever contrasts can we Sc
cure effects approximating the natural
ones"

Morse and the Telegraph Operator
Immediately after the successful
completion Of the first transatlantic
cable and the consequent celebrations,
in which of course Cyrus W. tlelo
bore q prominent part, Professor Morse
had occasion to send a telegram from
q small town in Ohio to his home IN
New York. He wrote out his message
presented it to the operator. who rap
idlv checked it off with his pencil and
curtly demanded a dollar.
But" said the venerable inventor
81 never pay for messages" and, see
ing an inquiring look in the operator
eyes, added, Il am, in fact, the father
Of the telegraph"
Then" said the operator, firmly con-
vinced that he was being imposed up
on, "why don't you sign your own
name, Cyrus ". Field:'
Professor Morse when telling the
story used to say that be was too hu-
inflated to answer.

A OfscouraGing Position.

"Do you think a literary woman
ought to marry?"
"Not if she is a novelist. Her ideas

books would be enough to make any

spair and leave home to look for work

But Not With the Line,

He had fshed up the stream and
down the stream and used flies, paste,
worms and every other form of bait
that the ingenuity Of man could de-
wise, but without result, and as he
wended his way homeward at the
close of the day his temper was high
and his fish basket empty. Still, there
was no occasion to publish the latter
fact to the whole world, so when he
met a friend by the way the following
dialogue ensued:
"Been fshing?"
ayes"
"Had a good days sport?"
eyes"
"What did you catch?"
