MRS. MALAPROP IN ACTION.
Good Lady Annoyed at Her Series Of
BIunders.

YES. said Mrs. Malaprop, talking
to friend about her daughter Emilys
wedding, "Tm glad it's all over. If it
had lasted second longer I should
have had nervous palliation or some
thing! Why, what do you suppose?
When the minister called before the
wedding, l asked him whether it was
necessary to have two cassocks for
the bride and groom to kneel on. He
smiled, and said he thought that
something thicker would be better;
and Emily laughed right out and left
the room. Well, of course, knew I'd
said something wrong, so 1 corrected
myself I didn't mean cassocks.

what do you suppose he said?"
ASKED you whether you desired

the guest.

present state of affairs in Russia, he
doubted whether he'd be able to get

PENMANsHlP OF THE GREAT.
individuality In the Styles Of Noted
Authors.

Charlotte Bronte's handwriting
seemed to have been traced with a
needle, and the penmanship of Bry-
ant was aggressive, we'll formed and
decidedly pleasing to the eye. Thack-i
erays writing was marvelously neat
and precise, but it was so small that
microscopic eyes were needed to read
It. Longfellow wrote a bold, open
back hand, which was the delight Of
printers. Joaquin Miller writes such
4 bad hand that he often becomes puz-
zled over his own work. The hand
writing of Capt Marryat was so mi
croscopic that when he rested from
his labors he was obliged to mark the
place where he left off by sticking a
pin in the paper. Napoleon's hand.
writing was worse than illegible. 1t
Is said that his letters from Germany
to the Empress Josephine were at first
taken for rough maps of the seat Of
war. Much of Carlyle's temperament
may be read in his handwriting. He
wrote a patient, grabbed, oddly en-
phasized hand The chirography of
Walter Scott, Leigh Hunt, Moore and
Gray was easy to read and ran smooth
ly. 1t was not expressive of any es-
pecial individuality, however. The
writing of Dickens was minute, and
the authors habit of writing with blue
ink upon blue paper, with frequent
erasures and interlineations, made his
copy burden to his publishers. BY.
ron's handwriting was a mere scrawl
His additions in his proofs often ex.
ceeded in volume the original copy.
To one of his poems which contained
only 400 lines in the original, 1000
lines were added in the proofs

A Needed Golf Stick.

DR.. D. A. Sargent, the director Of
the Hemenway gymnasium at Har-
ward, was talking about the new game
he has invented-a cross between
basketball and football.
"Ot course" he said, lone plays it
a little awkwardly at first. But then,
one plays every new game awkwardly.
eh?
II once saw two young ladies max.
ing their first essay at golf.
Dear mel said the first young
lady. What shall do now? My ball
Is in a hole
The second young lady took out A
book of instructions.
LET me see,' she said, turning the
pages, I presume you must now take
q stick of the right shape and get it
out
"'Oh, yes, Of course said the first
young lady. See if you can find me
stick shaped like dust-pan and
brnsh."

Many Ideas of Earthquakes.

While civilized man is trying tC
grasp the meaning of an earthquake
the uncivilized Of all ages have long
ago solved their doubts. In Mongolia
it is the breathings and skippings O.!
a huge frog that causes the mischief; !;
in China a gigantic dragon; in India
a world beating elephant; in Celebes
a hog, and in other countries the
scheme is varied by the introduction
of a bull and a tortoise. Earthquakes
in Siberia are believed to be due tc
the frolics of mammoths who live in
the center of the earth, while in Van.
couver island it is the spirit Of evil
with his marshaled hosts of all the
wicked people who have ever lived.

Good Wav to Do II.

"Your success in business" said the
able interviewer to Mr. de Billionaire
makes you a person of more than or
dinary interest to the public, and your
views on financial subjects are natur'
ally considered of exceptional value
Now, for the benefit of struggling
young men, will you kindly say what
is the best way to become rich?"
Mr. de Billionaire leaned back in his
chair and meditated.
1--WE are getting up little symposi.
um on the subject" urged the able in.
terviewer, "and we are especially anx'
ious to get few words Of advice from
YOU"
"Well," returned Mr.. de Billionaire
thoughtfully, 81 think you may quote
me as saying that my own personal
experience has taught me that the
best way to become rich is to get all
the money you can."-Judge.

Warfare Against Wood Pigeons.

A campaign is being arranged in
South Devon, England, against the
wood pigeons which abound there and
which, it is calculated, are responsible
for damage to crops running into thou.
sands of pounds annually. The move.
ment is being organized by the tenant
farmers, but all the landowners and
shooting tenants are being invited to
cooperate.
It is intended to line the borders OF
the great woods where the birds pass
the night with guns, and when they
return from their days foraging tc
shoot them, this being the only way in
which warfare can be successfully
waged against them.

The First Scapeqoat.

The word "scapegoat" originated In
an ancient Hebrew custom practised
at the feast of the Passover. Placing
a young goat upon the altar, the
priests would pray over it, asking that
all the sins of the people be visited
upon the goat.
Then, after each member of the
tribe had transferred his guilt to the
victim by, laying on his hands, the ami
NAL was turned loose in the forests to
be devoured by wild beasts.-Sunday

Charon, the boatman of the Styx,
was thought by many to be of Irish
blood. For invariably, as he was cast
ing off from the hither shore, he would
call out to his cargo of souls:

pr0ach to an Irish bull as the then
state Of civilization permitted of.-
