Paul Jones, Costumes

paul JONES' says writer, was
portrayed in every costume that a
pirate could be expected to masque-
rade in and his whiskers were of
the longest, blacklist and curliest.
He Is portrayed in all degrees, from
the sardonic gentleman cut-throat to
the blood-and-wounds Bill Bowline
type of tar, but always with as much
sofa-pillow stufing as possible. Ona
portrait presents him in a neat mill
tia uniform, something like that of
the time of the Mexican war, and
with the pattern of whiskers after
ward known to fame as 'Burnsides.
There seems to be one point of accur-
acy in all these pictures il they are
Of the three-quarters or full length.
Jones is always represented with a
girdle full of pistols, a habit of dress
to which he was accus toned.

BY THE SATISFIED MAN.

II is sad to see the sorrow that 80
many people borrow
On account of the proportions OF
their chests
How they get around and hustle to de-
velop bone and muscle
And subject themselves to awful
strains and tests.
There may be no real occasion for the
same but no persuasion
VIII induce them any exercise to
shirk.
They are so blamed energetic when
they try to be athletic
That they haven't any energy for
Work.
There are others, slightly meager, who
are feverishly eager
To acquire score of pounds or so
of fat,
So they try an oily diet and indulge
in rest and quiet
Though they seldom gain single
ounce by that
While tEeir brothers, stout and placid,
try to bant themselves with acid
And starvation, their fine substance
to reduce,
But to find they do not tighten and
their wastcoats daily tighten.
That their mortifying isn't any use.
| quite fail to comprehend them; ma
ture never could intend them
To be anything but frail or lean
or stout,
And to try her plans to alter should

FIGURING ON A WIFE.

The favorite story Of Admiral
Schley is told thus:
Uncle Joe Is an old negro on n
farm near Chesapeake City, Md, a
farm owned by the family whose slave
he was years ago. He is a widower,
and lately has spruced up to degree.
Not long since one of the young men
of the place started for the city, when
he was hailed by uncle Joe.
"Mistah George" he said, ,sheepishly,
you done goin' to town? You might
do a favor foh me-
Certainly, uncle, was the response.
what is it?"
We'll, you might-you might git
marriage license fob me-"
The white man was amused, but
seeing that the old negro was offend
ed, he said: "Ill get the license, sure,
uncle, I'll get it, and rode off.
After attending to his own affairs in
town he suddenly remembered the
marriage license, but was nonplussed.
for he had not asked the name OF un.
Gle Joe's fiancee. He happened to
recollect that he had noticed uncle
Joe around the kitchen a good deal Of
late, and that Amanda, dusky, fat and
40, and the best cook in the county,
always had a delectable morsel reserv-
ed for the old man; so, of course, it
must be Amanda. Armed with the
happy credentials Mr.. George gal
loped home and handed the paper to
the old man, who took it and looked
at 1t. The license was read to him.
MANDY Jones!" he cried, when the
brides name was pronounced. why,

Here was dilemma. We'll" said
the white man, there's only one
thing to do. You must get another Ii
cense. 1t is just SO thrown away"

and put it in his pocket.

THE PORCUPINE.
Il His Liking For salt an Acquired
or q Natural Tastef

= Natural Tastef
Some men who were camping In the
Adirondacks several years ago on
breaking camp in the autumn left an
old tub which was saturated with
salt brine. On returning to the same
camp the next year they found that
the tub had been gnawed until little OF
1t was left. They were not long In find
ing out what animal had done the
work, for the camp was overrun with
Canadian porcupines. At night they
became such nuisance that the camp
ers were obliged to kill them to protect
their property. The handle Of a paddle
was gnawed half through.
The explanation OF their presence In
such numbers during that year. when
they had not been noticeably abundant
In the previous year, is that they had
made rendezvous OF the camp, being
attracted by the old brine tub. On
this they feasted all winter and for
that reason were greatly pleased with
the locality.
An interesting query is this: Is the
liking for salt an acquired or a natural
taste? Were they ever able to crafty
that taste to any extent before man
gave them chance to do so?-St. Mich

ronizing glance at Mr.. Honey, 1T is

preponderance of favor between two
parties, while plurality is an excess
over all.
