A Misunderstood Jest.

Lord Lytton when viceroy Of India
was seated one day at dinner next to
a lady whose name was Birch and
who, though very good looking, was
not overintelligent. Said she to his
cxcellency:
Are you acquainted with any Of the
Birches?"
"Oh, yes" replied Lord Lytton. II
knew several Of them most intimately
while at Eton-indeed, more intimate
ly than I cared to-
''My lord" replied the lady, "you
forget the Birches are relatives of
mine"
"And they cut me-" said the viceroy,
"but," and he smiled his wonted smile,
81 have never felt more inclined to
kiss the rod than l do now"
Sad to say, Mrs. Birch did not see
the point and told her husband his eX-
cellency had insulted her.

Tha First Teacups.

Even after tea was introduced into
Europe and had come into general use
teacups were scarce. At the same time
coffee was introduced; but, apart from
Constantinople, the first coffee cups in
Europe date back only as far as 1645
in Venice, 1859 in Paris, 1862 in Lon
don and 1854 in Leipsic. From the
first, however. the conventional orien-
tai coffee cup, without stem or handle,
was little used, and In Germany not at
all. The Chinese teacup was used for
tea, coffee and chocolate as well. Speci-
mems Of porcelain were undoubtedly
introduced into Europe in the middle
ages, yet not till the sixteenth century
were cups imported from China in any
great quantities, and even then it was
as articles Of vertu. Most of those
found their way back into China again,
as collecting porcelain Is lasting fad
there, and high prices are paid for
good specimens. The collection of
Chinese porcelain, if only the genuine
specimens are desired, requires i'm
mense study and knowledge, as the
Chinese are skillful imitators and put
numerous falsifications on the market.

Society Music,

Mary will have to be asked to play
when she goes out in society. A proud
mamma will attend to that. And Mary
will play with faithful accuracy some
thing from Chopin or Beethoven or
Mendelssohn, and the young people
will watch her chubby fingers thought
fully and wonder when the selection
will come to an end. They will ap-
plaud, tOO-when the end is reached
for that is good manners, and every
body likes Mary. anyhow. And then
well, Lucy Smith, who has never taken
lessons, will rollicl up to the piano
and begin a coon song, hands and feet
will beat time all over the room, half
the listeners will hum the refrain.
everybody will see the difference be-
tween the piano as penance and as a
pleasure, and only Nary's mamma viii
make unpleasant side remarks about
the degeneracy of popular taste in
music.-Cynthia Westover Alden in

Humorous Chinese Graft.

A certain Chinese taotai (magistrate }
having told his men to have two ingots
OF gold sent to his treasury for pur-
chase. the shopmen brought them in
and in answer to the query of the tao
tai told him that the price was so much
in taels, but added, This is the Or
binary price, but for your honor we
will knock off One-half of the price -
Then the taotai said to his underlings:
Seeing that they are to sell to me at
only one-half price, just give them
back one ingot of gold and put the
other in my treasury, and thus their
account is settled. Goodby." So the
underlfngs of the yamen did so, but
still the shopmen hung around wait
ing. The taotai asked them why they
were waiting, when their account had
been already settled. Said the shop
men, When did your honor pay your
humble servantsY' Then the magis-
trate answered with very fierce air:
'Taio nu ts-ai" Gmpertinent slaves),
did you not say that these two gold
ingots were half price to me? Then
did I not give you back one ingot and
keep the other and thus settle your ac-
count without the least injustice &C
cording to your own proposition? So
lie off with you or my lictors win give
you taste OF the scourge"- Harper's

WHAT CARP ARE coed FOR.
Banker Found Their, a Fins Fertilizer
Fer Sugar Bsets.

or COUGAR OSSSSs
Orlando F. Thomas, New York
banker who owns Il stock farm in the
vicinity of Lyons. n. Y, has settled
the mooted question as to what carp
are good for, says a Lyons correspond
ert Of the New York Sun. The late
Governor Roswell T. Flower cajolei
Wayne county farmers into raising this
kind Of fish. Banker William S. Gavitt
stocked Wayne county streams with
carp and ever since has been excori-
ated in public and private. Carp grad
uoIly took possession Of the streams
to the exclusion of game fish.
Last spring the high water In Clyde
river left tons OF carp on the flats.
Banker Thomas had his II = gather
up and plow under vail he carp he
could get and sowed su~2r 5eets on
the field. That sugar beet Eeld is the
finest in all Wayne county this year
and will raise between forty and fifty
tons of beets to the acre.
This summer the continued drought
dried up all the little streams and
swamps and particularly a deep carp
breeding pond in a swamp on the
Thomas stock farm. Banker Thomas
had his employees gather up all the
bullhcads, perch, sunfish, bass and 9th
er food fish and carted them in milk
cans on stone boats to Clyde river,
where they were dumped in.
Tons Of carp Of all sizes, ranging
from fngerlings to big fish wefghiE g
forty pounds and over, were left in
the pools in the swamp. These were
pitchforIed Up into carts and drawn
out on the oats stubble, spread into
burrows and ploweG under. This field
viii be sowed to sugar beets next
spring. The pond hole that dried up
covered over ten acres OF ground and
had never dried up before. Sufficient
carp were obtained to fertilize a ten
acre sugar beet lot.

ance with verbiage, because he was

secretary of the Central Carolina Fair

the fact that these animals can outtop

their kind on the footstool and are so
