Miss Minnie Bertha Learned will
now give us some very interesting ex-
periments in chemistry, showing the
carboniferous character of many Or
dinary substances, after which she
will entertain us with a short treatise
on astronomy, and an illustration of
the geological formation of certain
substances, and close with brief es-
say entitled, Philosophy VS.. Ration
alism'" Thus spoke the president of
a young ladies' seminary on the class
show day.
A hard-headed, old-fashioned far
mer happened to be among the eX-
amining board, and he electrified the
faculty, and paralyzed Miss Minnie
by asking:
"Kin Miss Minnie tell me how
much sixteen and quarter
pounds of beef would come to at fif-
teen and a half cents a pound?"
"Why, really, I-P'-, gasped
Miss Minnie.
kin you tell me who is vice-presi-
dent of the United States?"
"Why, I-I-Mr. B, isn't he?
Or is It"
"Kin you tell me where the Mis-
sissippi river rises and sets?"
