Just fancy the envy of all fellow men Who knew you were bunked for the dayl Why, the malice you'd spread by your day oil

 Would more than atone for lost pay. Oh, naught is 90 rare as a day in bed, Not even day in June, And hlest be the man who invented the plan, Who deserves a far lottier rune! beg you to ry 1t and sec for yourself (Though haven't myself, it is true), For there's nothing, say, so rare as day In bed, unless 1t is two

 You're a liar" answered the stu dent, thinking one of his chums was trying to joke with him. If you were really Dr. McCosh, you'd simply say, It is r."

BIncI< and White,


 Every crow is said to think its own nestling the whitest, but white cat that had four kittens. of which three were white and the fourth was black. gave the first place in her affections to Sooty. Once they were all brought into the drawing room to be shown off," Besides the humans the room contained great Newfoundland dog. Hitherto cat and dog had been on friendly terms. but now pussy showed much anxiety lest the dog might harm her black pet especially. At last she seized it by the neck and bore it be- meath the lowest piece of furniture. where the dog could not possibly crawl. but she merely mewed to the others to follow her as best they could. The black kitten owed all this care to its color, more happy in this respect than the black sheep which is said to be .n every fock.-Exchange

The Interrogation mark or "point" @ was originally "q' ard an o." the latter placed under the former. They were simply the first and last let. ters of the Latin word "questio." So, too. with the sign of exclamation or in- terjection (.I. In its original purity 1t was combination of '1" and o." the latter underneath. as in the question mark. The two stoJd for "To," the Latin exclamation of joy.

MUSTACHES AND GAMBLERS.
Hair on the Face Was Once Badge
 of the Mississippi Card Sharp.

"Back in 1S50," remarked New Or leans professional man, chatting about old times, "a mustache was regarded with great suspicion all through the Mis- sissippi valley. It was supposed to be the mark of either a military swash- buckler or a gambler, and a gentleman, particularly if he wanted to go into so- ciety. shaved smooth. Boards were look cd upon as an unclean foreign affecta- tion, and I recall a curious incident bas- ed on that prejudice.
 "A charming young English gentle man who was a near relative of q dis tinguished man of science was visiting at n river town noted for its arstocratic and punctilious society. He was fine speci' men of physical manhood, and, following a fashion which had just obtained foothold in London, he wore heavy blond mustache and set of luxuriant, GU ly whiskers, much after the style of our old friend Taffy in 'Trilby.' Now adays he would be envicd the possession of such q superb ornament, but the good ladies of the town were greatly perpleX- ed, and after much consultation they finally decided that they could not coun- tenance such a barEarous custom and would have to decline to receive him un- less he shaved. The young Englishman realized that he had to choose between whiskers and ostracism, and, being plucky chap. he packed his trunk and went back to London on the next boat.
 "To revert to the mysterious connection between gamblers and mustaches, q thatched upper lip eventually became such well recognized badge of the trade that card sharps who wanted to avoid suspicion were forced to shave clean. One noted professional who worked the big river boats looked a great deal like q sarctimonious deacon when his nus. tache was removed and he used 10 make a point of dressing in long tailed. rusty black coat, with white cravat Going up to Vicksburg enc night, l was s,t.in: in earshot when lie attracted the alter. tion of a group of gay youag ;;oItic:noi playing poker in the main salooa. l. was seated by himself .eai.!Ig tc and was evidently unknown to the par; I'll bet that old rascal plays poker on l. sly said one of the crowd. Ask !.n join us.' said another as joke. aEd 1. first speaker acted on the suggestion. I. stranger was very reluctant ct first. Il: finally said hc Calculated hc want { old to learn and took | hand. A car.1 of hours later he got off at landing wi.l every dollar in the crowd. rciaarkins cas- ually that he would now give lis llus tache q chance.
 "On another occasion I was g1ag rp to Louisville on some important bisine '' and had been warned especially to lcCl. out for gamblers. We had the us,ii. crowd of sharpers on board. bat ther were all shaved clean, and ii chalccd that among our passengers were lot Of army men fresh from the west, where mustaches were countcnanced. Consc Quently, when we reached old Galt House st Louisville and l made some inquiries of friends, was chagrineJ to find that all the people I had been fratcrnizing with were gamblers and all those I had been snubbing and avoiding were gentlemen" New Orleans Times-Dcnocrat.
