more fully than ever before the great

Without Pretudice.

Mr. Ncsbit who had painted picture of the noble red man in war-paint and feathers, wanted an unbiased opinion of his work. His wife said that the picture was the best thing of the kind that she had ever seen. His dearest friend, too, was decidedly enthusiastic Both declared, in short, that any one would know at glance that 1t was in- tended for an Indian.
 ITO tell the truth" said Nesbit, look ing somewhat doubtfully at the picture, q haven't great deal of confidence in either of you. You always praise everything I do. Now I'm going down to the street to see if can't find some person who can be depended upon to give me an absolutely unprejudiced opinion of this picture-a child, for instance. Children always tell the truth"
 Five minutes later Nesbit returned with three small boys whom he had found playing marbles in the street.
 "Now, boys," he said, 'take good look at this picture. I'll give each of you ten cents if you'll tell me just ex- actly what you see."
 "A rooster! shouted the three boys, simultaneously.

Majors Method of Economy.

A well-known officer has an idea that he can manage the affairs of the pantry better than his wife.
 My dear," said he, one day, "that baker of yours is cheating you. He ought to give yoI seven of those buns for sixpense. I can get seven for that price,"
 So the major set off for the bakers shop.
 On arriving, he pointed to pile of buns on the counter, and said, in his severest way:
 q want seven of those buns for six. pence."
 But" said the girl in attend ance.
 "No 'buts' in the matter" roared the major. "If you don't give me seven I'll go elsewhere and get them."
 "Well, sir, if you insist" said the girl, "I'll-"
 q do insist" said the major.
 So the girl counted seven buns into a paper bag, and gave them to the major, who went off home greatly elated with his success.
 Look what firmness can do," he said to his wife. q got seven for six pence."
 "Yes," said his wife; "but you have been cheated. These are ha'penny buns!'-Spare Moments.

Her Big Feet.

A respectable old gentleman, some. what tight, on entering an omnibus, got his feet entangled in a lady's dress and fell headlong. He staggered to his feet and looking round, indignant iy demanded who struck him. A gentleman present remarked sotto voce: You fell over that lady's feet; nobody struck you"
 The indignant citizen turned round and surveyed the cause of the accident moment, and then, as if by no means satisfied with the cause of his mishap, said:
 Madame, you have got the biggest feet I ever saw"
 "Sirw responded the lady, flushing with anger.
 "Pray, don't apologize; it ain't your fault, but take my advice, sit sideways in the future. and give them the full range of the bus"
