Too Small to Be Seen.

Not long after his introduction
into national life as a member of
the house Tim Sullivan of New
York conceived a violent dislike for
the man then at the head of one of
the executive departments. It was
observed that whenever Sullivan,
much to his disgust, was obliged to
consult the official in question he
invariably left in anything but the
pleasantest of humors. One morn
ing Sullivan had been cooling his
heels in the secretary's anteroom
when the private secretary entered, !,
saying, "a am awfully sorry, Mr..
Sullivan, but you can't see the sec
retary this morning" Sullivan, by
this time in a white heat because OF
his long wait, dramatically exclaim-
ed: ''Merciful heaven! Is he so
small as all that"

Wsiaht Dead and Alive.

1t is a very popular idea that a
person when dead weighs heavier
than when living. One reason that
q dead body is thought to be heav,
ier than living one is probably
this: In carrying a living person we
have the center of gravity adapted
by the person carried to suit the
convenience of the carrier and
maintained in a position as far as
possible to fall within the base OF
his body. Again, the elasticity Of
the structure of the body, especial
ly the cartilages, though not in real
ity diminishing the weight, gives an
appearance of lightness, as we see
in the beautiful movements of the
stag, and this would seem to cor
roborate the notion that living crea'
lures are lighter than dead ones
It has also been asserted that the
breath makes the living body light
er than the dead. But we need hard
Iy say that man when dead weighs
no more than when alive.

His Editorial.

It was the practice of certain

write his leading article or articles
at home the night before publica.
ton. The rest of the week he did
nothing. One night his articles had
not come to hand at the Office. Ten
o'clock came, II, 12, and still no
sign of an article. There was COM
motion in the Office, and at last q
messenger was sent to the editors
house. He found him with a glass
of brandy and water before him
and newspapers scattered about
There was no article written.
"What do you want?" asked the ed.
itor. "The article for tomorrow"
sDidn't / send it?" ''No-at least
it has not come to the Office" "Give
me the Times" The Times was
found and handed to him, and with
unsteady fingers he cut out one OF
its leading articles. This he stuck
upon a sheet of paper and then,
taking his pen, wrote at the top.
"What does the Times mean by
this ?" In that form and with that
introduction it appeared next morn
ing as the editors leading article.

the bull saw the Irishman enter the

His Way Of Pairing.

A number of years ago at small
town in Maine an important local
election was to take place, and there
was strong rivalry between the Re
publicans and Democrats. Old Hi
ram Morse, the blacksmith, was a
strong Democrat, but many OF the
farmers were Republicans. On the
morning of the election a farmer
came to have his horse shod. The
blacksmith said to him: "We're both
busy. You're a Republican, and I'm
a Democrat. Let's pair off. Well
neither of US vote, and it will
amount to the same as if both went
to the polls" This was agreed upon.
After election it was found out that
Morse had paired off with five Re
publican farmers.
