A eut-rate funeral director OF
Hudson county, N. j., stands up to

THE HANDING OF A LEMON.

In the room occupied by the grad
uating class of a public school in
one Of the uptown districts of New
York, an incident occurred which
caused a great deal Of amusement
among the pupils. AS Thanksgiy-
inc day was near at hand, it was
customary that Miss N, the
teacher, in giving a series of les
sons on object drawing, should ask
her pupils to bring fruits, vases and
other things to assist in the lesson.
The following day, when Miss
" called her class for the "ob-
%iects," any number of vases, cups
and pitchers we're forthcoming.
Didn't any one bring fruit Of
any kind?" inquired the teacher.
81 did" cried a voice in the cen.
ter Of the rooom.
Miss N walked toward the
pupil. holding out her hand.
Withdrawing her own hand from
the recesses of her desk, the pup
who had responded extended grave
ly toward Miss u a lemon.

THE scRAPPLE SEASON.

The scrapple season dawns upon
us, with its ~rayishing perfumes and
its poesy. Scrapple follows sauer-
kraut, and is itself followed by the
buckwheat cake. The three consti-
tute and compose the great CASTRO
nomic trilogy of the late autumn.
They are equally savory, and their
inelfable essences are alike stimulate
ing and revivfying. Sauerkraut,
perhaps, is a shade the most nour-
ishing, and the buckwheat cake, it
may be admitted, is the most roman
tic of the trio. But even against
these irrestibly seductive delicates-
sen, scrapple holds its own. For the
brief month following the falling

Ne HAD FOUR DEUcEs.

Some years ago Bro. Thomas, a
preacher, used to conduct services
in a tent on River street, Boston,
in what was at that time called
Freeman's Grove. On one occasion
a visiting reverend gentleman occu-
pied the rostrum, and his subject
was Gambling and It's Results
In explaining what gambling was,
the lecturer said:
"You take a hand of cards and
commence playing. You bet 70
cents, the next man goes so cents
better. the next man sees it and
goes so cents better, and l raise 1t
to ten dollars"
Before going more into details an
old player, who had dropped in latt
to hear what the preacher had u
say about cards, became excited a
the recital of the betting and ex
claimed:
"Great Scott, old man, you must
have had a flush"
The preacher, forgetting himself
replied: "No, l had better thai
that-four deuces."

Beer Drinking.

A whiskey drinker will commit murder onIy under the direct excite ment of liquor; beer thinker is cap able of doing it in cold blood. Long observation has assured US that a large proportion of murders. deliber- ately planned and executed without passion or malice. with no other motive than the acquisition of property or money. often of trifins value, are perpetrated by beer drinkers. We believe, further. that the hereditary evils of beer drinking exceed those proceeding from ardent spirits first, because the habit is constant and without paroxysmal interruption, which admit of some recuperation; secondly, because beer drinking is practiced by both sexes more gen erally than spirit-drinking and thirdly. because the animaIizirg tendency is more generally transmitted Pacific Medical Journal.
