Not Il Clothes Peg.

Peggie Newton had been a faithful
household drudge for years, and had
not grumbled much when her wages
were occasionally passed over. But as
time went on, and her salary fell more
and more into arrear, she Yentured to
ask for something ION account"
"Why, haven't L paid you your wages
lately, Peg? How careless of me-"
her mistress said. I'm sorry 1 have
no money in the house just now, but
here's a smart cloak that I've ceased to
wear, and which is only a wee bit out
Of fashion. You'll take it in lieu of
wages, won't your"
"No, ma'am, I'm sure 1 shan't," said
Peg, w%rathfully eying the faded old
cloak. "a peg 1 may be by name, but
1 won't be the sort Of peg that people
hang castoff clothes On-not if 1 know
it."-London Answers.

Old Whist Terms.

The following passage is from the
Adventurer, No. 35, March 6, 1853:
"On Sunday last a terrible fire broke
out at Lady Brag's, Occasioned by the
following accident: Mrs. Overall, the
housekeeper, having lost three rubbers
at whist running without holding a
swabber Notwithstanding she had
changed chairs, furZed the cards and or
dered Jenny, the footbOy. to sit cross
legged for good luck, grew out Of all
patience and, taking up the devils
books. as she called them, flung them
into the fire, and the flames spread TO
the stewards room"
Swabbers are the ace of hearts, the
knave of clubs and the C and the
deuce of trumps at whist. To furz or
fuzz is to shuttle the cards very care
fully OF to change the pack.-London

Shooting From an Elephant.

The elephants howdah is that bed
of Procrustes. in which n "a neither
sit nor stand with any approach to
reasonable ease, and in which a re-
cumbent attitude is impossible, says
Blackwood's Magazine. It's advantages
are, first, that standing in it a man
can shoot on every side of him; second,
that it is convenient for the carriage
of the occupants paraphernalia-his
guns on racks on either side. his am
munition in Il trough in front, his
other requisites in leather pockets here
and there on the sides of the machine
and his bed blanket on the seat-and,
third, that in a hinder compartment
an attendant can stand to hold that
monstrous umbrella over his head, or
when quick loading is required take
from his hand the gun just fired and
recharge it. These are the advantages.
Otherwise the howdah is an abomina-
ton.

stnmmer to YOURSELF.

To the many correspondents who
have written inquiries and suggestions
as to q cure for stammering we may
state that this is not a medical bu-
reau. This writer gave his own meth
cd OF curing his own particular nerv-
disorder, which is probably
shared by many Of his fellow men. Let
1t be repeated in answer to many who
seem to have e the problem and
missed the solution. Consume your
own smoke. If you must stammer, try
to stammer to yourself. When you
have tut-tutted and gur-gurred suffi-
GENTLY to yourself, you will be ready
with the word. 1t Is quite astonishing
how soon the inaudible stammer be-
cOmes unnecessary and the word Is
whipped Quit But there are some men
who hug a stammer-stammering al
ways in the right place-lifting curl
osity to tiptoe in the listener. Charles
Lamb stammered, but always In the
right place, as when he went to buy
cheese (the story may be quite untrue).
The shopman offered to send it home.
Lamb inspected it. Then he asked for
a bit of string. Il think" he said, Il
could l-l-l-l-ead it hOme."- London

Why Rain Clouds Are Black.

The color of a cloud depends on the
manne in which the sunlight falls upon
it and the position of the observer. It
will be noticed that high clouds. are al
ways white Oh light in color, and this
is because the light by which they are
seen is reflected from the under surface
by the numberless drops of moisture
which go to form the cloud. Heavy
rain clouds, ON the other hand, are
found much nearer the earth, and SO
the light falls on them more directly
from above. giving a silver lining to the
cloud, though the u~ndersurface APP
pears black owing to the complete re-
Election and absorption of the light by
the upper layers. Seen from above by
an observer in a balloon, the blacklist
rain clouds appear of the most dazzling
" brilliant white.

Most Famous Saying.

"What is the most famous saying
ever made by MANI" an editor asked.
Some thought that Caesar, some
thought that Socrates, some that Lin
coin, some that Nelson, had said the
most memorable thing; but finally the
palm was awarded to Euclid, the
mathematician.
Euclid went to Alexandria to teach
Ptolemy &oter, the king of Egypt,
mathematics. Ptolemy plodded at his
problems q week or two, and then
asked Euclid impatiently if there was
not some special, shorter way by which
he could be taught.
Sire" Euclid answered, there is no
royal road to learning"

The Siren of La rrensa.

La Prensa Is the greatest and most
influential paper in South America. Its
Offices are in Buenos Ayres, Argentina,
situated in a magnificent building in
the Avenida. This building Is said to
be n Of the most imposing in the
world. 1t has a tower crowned by q
great golden statue Of a young woman
representing the Spirit Of the Press.
The proudest possession Of La Prensa
is a 5000 horsepower steam operated
siren. Whenever there Is an appalling
disaster-the death Of a crowned head
or other event of worldwide interest
whoop goes La Prensa's siren and is
heard for a while throughout the city.
The local government exacts a fine for
this performance, 500 per minute,
with a minimum of 5000, and If the
fine Is not paid on the nail the charge
Is double, so when II man IS sem to
operate the screecher another is sent
running with a two hundred dollar bill
to the courts. The next operation Is to
drape the above referred to young
woman's torch with red velvet in case
of a catastrophe; with Grape in the
event Of a death. All this aus the
most extraordinary sensation.

Tennis md LAWN TpnniS.

There are thousands who imagine
that tennis and lawn tennis are identi-
cal. In America tennis, the mother
game, is always known a court ten
mis-, whereas lawn tennis is gener-
ally known as tennis" The games
are in many respects very diff
ferent. The court, which in lawn
tennis is open, in tennis is closed
at the back and sides by the walls, and
almost invariably above by a roof.
There is a considerable amount of play
off the back and side walls. The balls
are harder than lawn tennis balls. be
ing, in fact, of the consistency Of
cricket balls. Hence the rackets are
heavier and the gut is thicker.-Fry's

at these elections, Mr.. CullOm, ex-Gov-
ernor Richard Yates and William q.
Webster. The Democrats had no can
didate for senator. The voters at the
primaries of both parties We're privi-
legged to say by their ballots who
should be their nominees from senator
and congressman down to sheriff. In
the case of the senatorShip the Re
publican voters decided to retain Mr..
Cullom in the seat which he has occu-
pied so long. The legislature Is usu-
ally Republican, and In case the next
body is of that complexion the major
ity will be bound morally, if not legal
at the primaries.
Senator Cullom is one of the veter-
ans of the senate. He was born in
1929 and has been in politics fifty
years, for he was a presidential elector
on the Fillmore ticket in 1856. He en-
tered congress in 1865 and was pro-
noted to the senate in 1888, when he
succeeded David Davis, Independent
Democrat.
Senator Cullom's father was a farm
er. The schools of that time did not
provide the youth of young Cullom's
vicinity with advanced educational op-
portunities, and when the future sci
ator decided on the law as his profess
sion the question arose how to obtain
the funds for seeking instruction at
cobno1c distant from hic homo Ha mo-
vailed upon his father to lend him q
team of oxen and a pillow, and with this
primitive outfit began the battle of
life on his own responsibility and en-
gagged at breaking prairie at 50 per
acre. He earned enough in this way to
begin the pursuit of advanced studies
and prepare for his public career.
