PERT AND POINTED.

Whether a duck is bird or not. II is
sometimes a dear.
II frequently happens that man who
pays as he goes doesn't go very far.
The destruction of 1000 pianos by the
piano makers was certainly fine show
of bass burning.
Most of the mother-in-law jokes are
written by unmarried men for reasons
not necessary to mention.
Nothing is more pathetic than total
abstainer who is compelled to go
through life with red nose.
The handsome young woman who
complains that men stare at her doubt
less fails TO realize that she would be
panied IL they did not.
A burned child knows enough to keep
away from the fire. but divorced per-
son nearly always plunges into matri-
mony at the first opportunity.
A woman always seems to be able to
get a great deal of satisfaction out of
boasting that her husband fell in love
with her at first sight. even IL he has
grown cool on further acquaintance.

BITS ABOUT ANIMALS.

The crocodile usually requires so sec
onds in which to turn completely round.
Broad headed horses are the cleverest.
In cavalry regiments it has been no.
ticed that horses with broad foreheads
learn their drill moIe rapidly than IL
others.
Animals have a language made up OF
signs or inarticulate sounds expressing
sensations, passions, but never ideas.
So this language excludes conversation,
and is limited to interjections or signs
or movements expressing Joy. grief, fear
anger. all the passions Of the senses. but
never more.
