A Bit Of Enolish,

A Frenchman was boasting that
he had thoroughly mastered the
English language when he was ask
ed to write from dictation the fol-
lowing specimen of our choice &C.
centric vernacular:
"As Hugh Hughes was hewing a
Yule log from yew tree man
dressed in garments of dark hue
came up to Hugh and said, Have
you seen my ewesT To which he
replied, If you will wait until 1
hew this yew l will go with you to
look for your ewes.'
After an attempt the Frenchman
admitted his mistake. He used to
imagine he was used to English
speaking, but he would be more
careful how he used the language in
future.

Imported Jap ssaweed.

"The Japanese servants who dom.
mate so many New York families, "
said caterer, "are now introducing
with considerable success relish
that is already popular in Califor,
MIA and places where Chinese and
Jap cooks cater to American palates.
Asakusa-nori is the name of this
oriental product, which is nothing
more than a species of dried sea-
weed found on the shores OF the
Yellow sea.
"This serves as the foundation OF
many Japanese and Chinese sauces,
besides being when boiled staple
article of food. Japanese living in
New York import it in the cute lit
tie boxes, just as it is sold in the
Tokyo markets, and prepare it with
that curious adaptation to occiden-
tai taste for which the Japs are now
famous, whether in warfare, COM
merce or art."-New York Press.

A Broad Insinuation.

DR.. Barrett was a great friend Of
q brother fellow, Magee, afterward
bishop of Raphoe and finally archbishop
Of Dublin, who was the only person
to whom Barrett ever lent money.
Magee wanted a loan Of IS and went
to see Barrett in his rooms, who agreed
to make the loan, went into his bed
room and returned with an old stock
ing full Of guineas in his hand. Just
as he came into the room tho stock
Ing burst and the guineas were scat
tered on the floor. Magee stopped
down to help Barrett pick them up.
stop, stop, Mageer said he. do you
see me now2 Get up and stand on
that table and I'll pick them up" The
loan was then made and Magee left
him counting his guineas. A few days
afterward he met him and said, II
hope, Barrett, you found your guineas
all right?'' ''Well do you see me
now?" said Barrett They were all
right but one. One was gone, and
maybe it rolled into mouse hole,

Tho Microbes Kitchen.

In a London hospital where bac-
teriology is a feature fine crops OF
typhoid can be seen tlourishing in
the scientific garden.
There is even a microbes soup
kitchen, where several highly train
ed and most learned chefs in white
linen overalls are composing dainty
repasts for the microbes.
Their tastes require the most
careful study. Over the fire pota-
toes are steaming in Il caldron,
and in the course of a few days these
same potatoes may be found under
glass covers with fiourishing growths
of various diseases ON the top.
In various pots and pans the most
savory soups are in progress-chick-
en- broth, meat broth, beef jelly-all
specially prepared to suit the vari-
Gus wants of the microbes.

JackaIa.

Jsckals are much more cunning
than wolves and approach the fox
more nearly in the exhibition of
craftiness. They are natives of
northern Africa and southern Asia
and are nocturnal animals. Com
bining in packs OF hunting in asso-
Citations of several members, they
will pull down antelopes and sheep,
but when they seek their prey singfy
they are content with smaller ami
mails and poultry. They are readily
tanned when caught young and will
act like dogs when called by their
masters, crouching, wagging their
tails and rolling on the ground, but,
like the wolf, are not to be trusted,
for they respect only the hand of
their master.

Wanted-A Curate,

The rector of 17o5 had somewhat pc
culiar ideas as to the qualifications Of
a curate. ii one may Judge from the
following curious advertisement, which
appeared in the st. James Chronicle
Of May 4, 1895:
Wanted Immediately, a good,
strong, bony man to act in the capacity
Of curate. He must be subject to the
following particulars-viz, to have no
objection to act as gardener husband
man and occasional whipper in. Any
gent, whom the above may suit, on ap-
pllcation to Mr.. b, at the Gray's Inn
Coffee House, Holborn, may meet with
immediate employ. N. B.-Character
will not be 80 much required as eoues-
trian skill. and none need apply who
has not undergone complete staba-
larian (sic) education"
The curate of 1905 was evidently in
tended more for use than ornament.
It IL often the other way about with
the curate of 1S96.-London Tit-Bits.

Tho Merchant Of Venice.

The production of 1.-The Merchant
of Venice" which Charles B. Han
ford will offer this season is distin-
guished by a brilliancy of cast and a
wealth Of scenery calculated to outdo
all the splendid productions Of the
play that he has previously made.
Mr.. Hanford has made sincere
study of the character of Shylock;
one which takes into account not
only the relentless vengefulness OF
the role, but the dignity and senti-
ment.which must attach to man so
impassioned in his devotion to race
and home. Mr.. Hanford's Shylock
II one of the creations Of the Ameri-
can drama which stand forth like
beacon lights to mark the artistic
progress of a nation. 1t Is per-
formance worthy of study by the
younger generation OF players who
aspire to interpret Shakespeare.
Miss Marie Drofnah still appears as
Mr. Hanfokhor leading lady and in
the character Of Portia has oppor-
tunities which WILL meet with the
hearty approval of her many ad-
mirers. This is one of the plays in
which Shakespeare presents a
sprightly and approving study Of
feminine characters. Miss Drofnah
has given it an Interpretation which
ranks among the standard portrayaIs
of the modern stage. The lavish
tasteful adornment which dlstin-
guished the fashionable and luxur-
ious world of which old Venice was
the center are reflected In such a
manner as to make the costuming
one of the distinguishing features of
the production. The date OF the
presentation at the Greeley opera
house is Saturday, Jan. 13.
