His PRIZE RosEs.-An amusing IN
cident is reported in connection with
small flower show in the north OF Eng
land. One Of the classes-cut roses
was open only to cottage gardeners
within a certain radius, and the win
ner turned up in a laborer, whom we
will call Sandy. The lucky individual
was in high feather and hung about
near his exhibit all the afternoon re-
ceiving the congratulations Of his
friends.
Beautiful roses" remarked we'll
dressed stranger to Sandy. They tell
me, however, that II Briggs had been
qualified to enter he would have beat
en- you."
Now, Briggs was the rose grower
par excellence in the neighborhood,
but, unfortunately for him, he was
Just outside the radius.
Briggs be hanged" calculated San
dy. He amt got no better roses than
them!"
That's nonsense!" retorted the
stranger. Briggs roses are the talk
Of the district"
Sandy still stuck to his point and be-
came quite confidential. Between
you and me-, he whispered eventually,
Briggs amt got no better roses than
them, COS them's his! He couldn't
enter himself, so he gave me the pick
Of his garden"
The stranger was satisfied, and 1t
was only afterward that Sandy dis
covered to his cost that he had con-
flded his secret to a member Of the
show committee.-London Tit-Bits.

A representative of Columbia

few days ago and solicited job Of

neys.

"Ninety cents per page" was the re-
ply.

people here arc doing our printing at
only rs cents for moro than five pages
and less than thirty pages and at 6e
cents for over thirty pages"
"oh, we'll, but, is tho work satisfac-

itor.
"Not tho least trouble about that,
my friend. II is possible that you can
equal it; but | am sure you cannot
beat It."
And the solicitor from the Columbia
printing house went on his way.
During the recent term Of court, an
attorney from a neighboring town
came to Yorkville to consult with To-
cal attorney about Brief in which
both were interested, and after the
consultation was over, the visitor OBJ
served to the effect:
"There are about so or 60 pages Of

A WOODLAND EcHo.-As became the
idle man having the time Of his life
In the primeval forests Of the Temag-
annie reserve in Canada, the clerk of
the New York court Of special sessions
was graciously inclined to instruct the
workers in camp. These, says the New
York Tribune, were two young, un-
known men who, with canoe and a
camping outfit, were likewise seeking
backwood experience.
He came upon one Of them baking
bread in portable aluminium oven
before a smoldering log fire.
"Ah," said the clerk, assuming a re-
clining position Of graceful ease. "bak-
ing bread, ses."
Eyes. It doesn't come up for cent.
"You see," continued the clerk, with
rising wisdom, "the baking powder
which contains cream Of tarter, liber-
ates when heated a certain amount OF
carbonic acid gas, which,
"Oh, don't talk shop!". interrupted
the cook. 81 hate it out here!"
"Oh. you do!" the clerk observed
astonished. What business are you
in, may ask?"
I'm an assistant professor Of chem

Some Clever 'Retorts.

If a kind answer is useful to turn
away wrath, a crushing retort some
times answers the salutary purpose OF
silencing an opponent.
Such, at any rate, was the effect OF
an answer given by one Of Pope Leo
Kills chamberlains to an arrogant
member Of the kaiser's suite a few
years ago. When the German emperor
went to the vatican to pay visit to
the pope, accompanied by Count -,
the latter was refused admittance to
the audience chamber, which his i'm
perial master had just entered.
Are you aware, sir" said the count,
furious at the slight put upon him,
"are you aware that I am Count -"
That" imperturbably answered the
chamberlain, may account for your
conduct, but it cannot excuse It,
OF a very different character was
the clever answer credited to a former
duke Of York. At mess one day the
duke chanced to refer to the array OF
empty bottles on the table by the hu-
morous nickname of marines" when
an officer Of this branch Of the service,
who was present, asked what he meant
by such disparaging comparison.
II call them marines the duke
promptly answered, because they
have done their duty-and are ready
to do 1t again."
Miss Mitfrod used to tell a delight
full story Of the politeness Of the Berk-
shire peasants. Walking in that coun-
try one day she was dilating on this
subject to her companion, went, on
coming to a gate, a boy who was
standing near rushed forward and gal
lantly opened it for the ladies to pass
through.
I'm sure you're not a Berkshire
boy" Miss Mitford's friend, who was
skeptical about the politeness of the
county, said to the lad.
"Thee'rt a liar vor 1 be-" came the
crushing answer, quick as lightning.
Pope Plus TX, in his quiet way, on
one occasion, when he granted an In
terview to a young English attache,
the pope offered his guest a cigar.
Thank you. your holiness" the
young diplomat answered, in an ac-
cess of virtue. Il have no vices"
This" placidly answered the pontiff,
lis not vice; If it were you would
have it."-London Answers.

THE WASTE OF SHAVING.
Little Tommy Gives His Father a Few
Pointers.


The Jenkins family was always a
happy one until q month ago little
Tom, the eldest son, got into arith-
metic, remarks the Chicago Tribune.
Already he has developed amazing
powers as a mathematician, and the
fond head Of the family is now labor
ing under the awful fear. that Tom Is
destined to become a lightning calcu-
lator.
Imagine the feelings Of such a faith
er when a thing like this happens.
Jenkins shaves himself every morn
ing. He was at work in the bath room
the other morning when young Tom
put in his appearance, armed with the
stub Of a lead pencil and a sheet of
paper.
Father" said Tom, "how long does
it take you to shave yourself?"
"Oh, I don't know" said the father.
Maybe Is minutes"
And you shave yourself every
morning?"
YES"
How long have you been doing it?"
Twenty years." snapped the old
man, who began to wonder If he was
on the witness stand.
Thank you" said little Tom, re-
firing with his pencil and pad into his
own room. Five minutes later he came
back.
Father" he said, "are you aware
that during the last twenty years you
have spent a total Of 1,75O hours in
scraping hair off the lower part Of
your face? Seventeen hundred and
fifty hours Is equal to ITS working
days Of ten hours each. In other
words, you have wasted six months
out of the last twenty years in shaw
ing yourself.
Jenkins admitted that he had never
before harbored the awful thought.
If the average man lives to be 60
years DID," went on young Tom, land
shaves himself every morning as you
do, he will have spent at the end Of his
life one year and a half in shaving.
Ten thousand men will have spent 49,
900 years at it. Think what it would
mean to humanity If a beardless race
could be evolved so that all that time
could be devoted to improving our
minds.
Jenkins told his wife after break
fast that he thought young Tom had
better be taken out Of school for a
a year. He was developing too fast.

A STREET CAR CoMEDIAN.-Evidentl
he had been supping, and still more
evidently he believed himself to be
possessed Of fine elocutionary powers.
AS the Broadway car swung around
the Twenty-third street curve he
spouted Hamlet's soliloquy. No one
seem interested. Then he essayed
high-f1own speeches from 1.-The Lady
Of Lyons" but not a shadow Of a
smile appeared on any face.
"Trag'dy don't go, eh?" he hiccough-
e6. 'Tll try 'em on br-road com'dy!"

Nile,
Great Pharoah's daughter came to

Ran about the sand to dry her skin,
And kicked the basket the baby lay in.

cuss a matter of Importance. When
Mr.. Briggs entered the room, it was
lighted by one dim candle only.
Its a bright starlight night" said
his host land we don't need the can
die to talk by" Whereupon he blew
1t out as soon as his guest had found
a seat.
The room was pitch dark, and the
conversation was long. When 1t was
over, the host lighted the candle again
to show his visitor out.
well, well, sir, this is a strange
sight" he clustered, for Mr.. Briggs
was minus coat, waistcoat, collar and
necktie.
I'll put them on now you've light
ed the candle, said Mr.. Briggs calmly
Il thought I might just as well save
the wear on them as long as nobody

EGG LoRE.-Eggs constitute the
most universal human food Of animal
origin.
Plover eggs are esteemed a great
delicacy in England and Germany.
The flavor of eggs may be influenced
by the food eaten by laying hens.
Hens eggs have white or brown
color, but ducks eggs are blush white.
Hens and ducks eggs are commonly
offered in our market, but turkey eggs
are seldom eaten.
In Virginia gulls' eggs are commonly
eaten, and in Texas the eggs Of terms
and herons are gathered along the
coast.
Turtle eggs are highly priced in
countries where they are abundant,
and though once commonly eaten in
America. are now seldom offered.
On an average a hens egg is two
and quarter inches long and one and
quarters inches wide at the
broadest point and weighs two ounces.
Recent official government figures
show that eggs and poultry in the
eastern states constitute from one
twelfth to one-siXth Of the total value
of all farm products.

Saving tho Boy.

The other Sunday forenoon that
Baltic street boy was playing horse
by himself in the street, and having
a good time when his mother opened
the front door and called:
boy, what are you doin'?"
"Playing' hoss," he answered after
an interval"
"Well, you come here"
What yer want?"
What do I want?" she screeched;
II want you!"
I'm here, hain't 1?'
"Yes, you are out here, cantering
around and yelling and bowling on
the Lords day. It's a wonder to me
that Providence hasn't put some great
affiiction on you"
"Biles?" he quered.
"Biles!" Wuss than biles. Now
you come in here!"
What fur?"
"Come in here and get ready for
Sunday SCHOOL,"
IT hate ter"
Come here, say.
He slowly approached her, and as
he came within reaching distance she
seized him by the hair, shook him
right and left, and remarked:
Hate to, do you? Want to be
heather, eh? Don't love the Lord,
eh?"
"Yas-oh-oh, goll!" he yelled.
"Well, I thought you did. NOW

ing over your case lately, and I've
made up my mind to lick you to death
and hang your hide on the fence II you
