The following is in a churchyal
near Plymouth, England:
Here lies 4 poor woman
Who always WAS tired,
Who lived In q house
Where help was not Hired

Where washing amt done,
Nor sweeping. nor sewing;
But everything there is
Exactly TO my wishes,
For when they don't eat
There's ne washing dishes.

Don't mourn for me ever;
I'm going 20 do nothing
For ever and ever

KNOWING TOO MUCH.
Some Serious Drawbacks to the
Pleasures of Conversation.


Pleasures of Conversation.
One very serious drawback to our
pleasure in conversation with too
we'll informed person is the nervous
strain that is involved. We are always
wondering what will happen when he
comes to the end Of his resources. Aft
er listening to one who discourscs with
surprising accuracy upon any partlcu-
lar topic we feel delicacy in changing
the subject. 1t seems a mean trick,
like suddenly removing the chair on
which 4 guest is about to sit down for
the evening. With one who is interest
ed in a great many things he knows
little about there is 10 such dlfflculty
If he has passed the first flush OF
youth. it no longer embarraSses him to
be caught now and then in mistake
Indeed your correction is welcomed aa
an agreeable interruption and serves
as a starting point for new series OF
observations.
The pleasure of conversation is en-
hanced if one feels assured not only OF
wide margins Of ignorance. but also OF
the absence Of any uncanny quickness
Of mind.
should not like to be neighbor to
q wit. 1t would be like being in prox'
unity to a live wire. \ certain insulat-
ing film of kindly stupidity is needed
to give margin Of safety to human In
tercourse There are certain minds
whose processes convey the impression
of alternating currents Of high voltage
on wire that is not quite large enough
for them. From such l would with
draw myself.
One is freed from all such apprehen'
sions in the companionship Of people
who make no pretensions to any kind
Of cleverness. The laughter OF fools
is like the cracking Of thorns under q

bubbling of the potts. NJ. Crothers III

The Site of the White House.

The site for the presidents palace.
as the first maps name it, was selected
by President Washington and Major
LEnfant when they laid out the fed
eral city in 1892. They proposed to
have the presidents house and the cap
itol reciprocally close to the long vista
formed by Pennsylvania avenue, and
they also laid out parlSlike connection
between the two great buildings. Ihe
plans for the house, selected by Wash
ington and Jefferson as the result of a
competition in which LEnfant took
part, were drawn by James Hoban, q
native of Dublin and a medal man OF
