A friend Of ours took her four.year-
old girl to a photographer. The child

the little wiggler sit still, and finally
said to the desparing mother:
Madam, if you will leave the little

His Reference.

In the course of conversation
between two men at the club last
night one of them jokingly remark
ed that a man with "cheek" could
get anything he desired, and he
backed up his statement with the
following story::
One Of his friends, merchant,
had advertised for porter. A,big,
burly Irishman applied for the JOB.
After looking him over the mer-
chant was satisfied with his appear
-ance. The only only objection was the
quef 21lof references, and the Irish
man d not seem to have a very
:goou one. @Can you get no better
reference than this ?'' asked the mer-
chant. ooh, yis, sor. I kin git ye
the very best kind Of wan if that's
all ye want, sor, and I don't have to
go far for it either. Me father and
me mother, sor, live down the.

Few Mermaids are Left.

The strangest of all strange fish

They arc very affeotionate 10 dis
position, aud especially is his shown
in the love of the mother for her off,
spring, which is much stronger than
her instinct of self. preservation. The
male will not leave the female :f she
be attacked, and instances are on re-
cord where the companions of the
manatee gathered round and made
an effort to withdraw the deadly har-
poon.
1t is supposed that the rude ap.
proach to the human outline observed
in the shape Of the head of the du.
gong, the attitude of tfo mother in
clasping her young to hsr breast with
one fipper while swimming with the
other, holding both: above the water,
and suddenly diving and showing her
fish-like tail when alarmed, gave rise
to the mermaid myth frat told by the
Arab seamen. Jules Verne gives q
thrilling description Of the capture of
. d.gong in the Red Sea when its
flesh was desired as food. Naturalists
tell US that the flesh Of the mauatee
or Of the dugong much resembles we'll
fstted pork, OF pleasant flavor, and is
highly esteemed 60 food. For this
reason they were much hunted and are
fast becoming extinct.

what Onions Will DO.

A Texas physician says, "The eat
ing raw onions has been known to
leave consumptives plump and rosy.
1t cures dyspepsia and is thorough
worm medicine for children. It will
do much to refine the complexion, re-
new the hair and remove spots as any
one article known. There need be
no hesitation in eating onions freely,
since the use of toothbrush and a
dose of charcoal or the chewing of
some roasted coffee or osrn will re-
move the odor. ="
He further says that an onion is
altertive and tonic and it's nourish-
ing properties are more than double
those Of the potato.

He Told the Truth.

o.
An Irish gentleman had splendid
looking cow, but she kicked so much
that it took very long time and it was
almostimpossible to milk her,so he sent
her to a fair to be sold and told his
herdman to be sure not to sell her
without letting the buyer know her
faults. He brought home large
price which he had got for it. HIS
master was surprised and said, care

The principal of the village acad-

tlftles Of the past century was Mr..
Baldwin Bishop. He was a man
whose heart and soul were in his
work. de was sure. in some unex-
pected and original way to show his
disapproval of any individual in the
institution with which he was con-
nected who could justly be called a
shirker. There was in one of the
classes Of which Professor Bishop
had charge a lad by the name of
Hoover, who had evaded the recita-
tion of his lessons when called upon
to take his part, PLEADING a poor
memory. His delinquencies were,
however, almost, if not entirely, due
to lack cf application, and this the
professor more than suspected.
During che week before the school
session ended for vacation, .examina-
tions, embracing the subjects stud
led by the pupils during the whole
term, took place in the class rooms.
During this time it was the custom
of the relatives and friends of the
students to visit the academy. On

was that of natural philosophy. Aft

distinguished themselves more or
less creditably in their attempts to
explain familiar phenomena Hoover,
who had evidently been dreading the
ordeal, was. suddenly called upon
and, in Difference to "rule and Gus
tom, of time and place." stood up to
be questioned.
':Mr. Hoover" said Professor
Bishop, "will you kindly explain to
lib the cause and nature of electrici-

The question surprised every one
present but Hoover. All questions
bearing upon any subject the class
was engaged in studying were the
same to him.

the basement and caused about $500 damage
before the firemen succeeded in extnguish-
ing the last spark.
The fire department responded to an
alarm turned in about S:45 o'clock and
found a blaze in the woodshed in rear of

The fire started from some unknown cause
and did about SO damage.
