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
excellency:
"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
" than l 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 I do now"
Sad to say, Mrs. Birch did not see
the point and told her husband his ex-
cellency had insulted her.

game animals, fish, pictures of the
many famous water and mountain re-
sorts and a mineral exhibit showing
lead, zinc, iron, mari, lime clay, ce-
ment, serpentine, etc.
Nothing perhaps is more interesting
than the chronological exhibit, which
includes collection of specimens of
