The Per8ee4 P..

A perfect pun makes good sense both
ways: the edges meet with a click like
the blades Of a sharp pair of shears.
Sometimes the very thoughts fit tight
together In antagonistic identity, as
when the man said Of the temperance
exhorter that lie would be a good fel-
low IL he would only let drink alone, or
when DlsraeIi Qf 1t was he) wrote to
the youth who had sent him a first
novel: II thank you very much. I shall
lose no time In reading it," or as when
Il man, seeing poor piece OF carpen-
try, said, THAT chicken coop looks as
IL some man had made 1t himself" Ex-
quisite perverse literalness of thought!
And the same absolute punning, the
very self destruction OF q proposition,
was the old death thrust at poor poet
by the friend who said, Ills poetry
will be read when Shakespeare and
Homer are forgotten" 1t was IL fine
double edged blade Of speech until
some crude fellow, Heine, I think,
sharpened it to wire edge by adding,
and not till then," banality that
dulled Its perfection forever.-J. A.
Macy in Atlantic.

Remarkable Lunar Rainbow.


/ recall many lunar rainbows during
the half century since was an oDserv-
ant boy and, if memory serves me! one
double lunar rainbow. But the most
perfect Of these bows that. recall
saw OH the edge Of Darlington, $. C.
was in road leading north, with ex
tcnsive fields east and west; hence my
opportunity. The full moon had just
risen above the tops Of the distant
woods, and the bow in the west was
perfect. The span Of the bow was ma
terially less than the span of sun
rainbow, but It's depth, or thickness,
was proportionately much greater. The
rainbow colors were distinct, but pale,
rs If the arch were built Of pale moth
er-of-pearl, and they changed and fad
ed less rapidly than the sun rainbows
l have seen.
When in camp OH Johns island,
South Carolina. I saw a brilliant sun
rainbow with one foot Of the arch so
near we could stand OH it or pass be-
hind and in front of it, but we did not
dig for gold."-Aacon Cor. Scientific

Led n DOublc Life.

Officer Martin, who had been on the
force For six months or more, was
different in some respects from many
OF his fellow policemen. He never
went into saloon except in the per
formance Of his regular duty; never
Swore, never idled away any time, and
never Shirked.
Because Of these differences and be
cause lie was uncommunicative and
was not in the usual sense Of the term
a good fellow suspicion that all
was not right and that he had some
thing to conceal became aroused, and
at last reached the chief of police, who
determined to interrogate him.
Accordingly the chief called him into
his private Office one morning.
Officer Martini" he said, 80 far as
l know, you are one OF the best men
on the payroll, but there are rumors
that you are not altogether what you
seem to be. and that there is chapter
in your life that none OF us knows
anything about"

policeman, somewhat surprised, but

You confess it then!"

'Would you mind telling me what IT
is in contidence!"

Anthony TroIlope ms n SchooIboy

ception the most sloveny and dirty
boy l ever met He was not only
his work was equally dirty. His ex-
ercises were mass Of blots and
smudges. These peculiarities created q
great prejudice against him, and the
poor fellow was generally avoided. 1t

time, and how he longed for the friend

ness, that I did not dislike him.
avoided him, for he was rude and un-
couth, but I thought him an honest,
brave fellow. He was no sneak. His
faults were external. All the rest of
him was right enough. He might have
been n thoroughly bad young fellow
and yet have had plenty Of associates.
He gave no sign of promise whatso-
