 casm Telling.

In the little town of C. lived three maiden sisters by the name of Paige. They were meat" as the villagers call it, in its most accen- tuated form, and they loved the small boy best afar off. In conse- quence of which they were a bright and shining mark for the pranks that youth seems to originate for its scorners.
 One day the front gate strayed from its wonted place with the as- sistance of two small neighbors then came a reprimand from each of the old maids, and barbed repartee in return, as usual; following this exchange came a complaint to the parents of the offenders.
 At the table that night Papa" was requested to reprove Jim and Ted for impertinence to the Misses Paige.
 ''What did you say to them?" de- manded papa with the requisite frown.
 "Didn't sarse them at all,' re- piled Jim with a grin. q only said Page 40, Page 50 and Page 60; an they got mad at it. "
 Ted caught sight of pas twitch- ing muscles and added: Gee, but they were just hopipn'."
 'FWell, don't let it happen again" 1" answered pa, as he hastily attacked a piece of apple pie.

EARLY AND LATE CITIES.

There are early cities and late cities. Vienna is in bed by H. though, oddly, a Wiener cafe in Ger many is a cafe that is open all night long. Madrid never goes to bed at all. To this writer in New York a waiter averred at the breakfast ta- ble, that the latest supper he had served was eight a. m. But what will happen if the closing hour in London is placed at II? It is a sum that may be worked out on your fingers. The play that ends at ten must begin soon after six. And there comes the backward shove of meals. We must eat our dinner at five (if theater and supper are still to be taken), and thus return to the fashion that was out of date when Tom Brown was at Oxford the fashion that the late king of Denmark loved. Supper will be over and almost forgotten by II. Then nothing will be left but bed. And the shift of hours may bring us back to the early rising of our forefathers, when Pepys thought nothing of being afoot by four in the morning.-London Chronicle.
