 But you never said anything about it," she replied No, I never did. There are lots of things husband never says anything about to his wife. I have kept quiet all these long years thinking to give you a glad surprise some day"
 And has the time finally come?'
 Tt has. Mrs. Bowser, across the forehead of your husband you can write the word 'Genius.' You can write 1t three times if you like, for l have invented three articles that are bound to put my name alongside of Edison's and to bring in money by the barrel"
 You don't tell me! Why, you quite take my breath away. Let us hear what you have done. As your wife I want to be the first to congratulate you"
 Mr. Bowser crossed his hands behind him and swelled out his chest and promenaded up and down the room for little and then asked:
 "Mrs. Bowser, how many matches are used in the United States alone in one year?"
 "Iillions and millions"
 "Yes. and you can make 1t billions and billions while you are about it. How many are used. take the whole world together?" "The number can hardly be com puted."

Mark Twain as a Critic.

A successful young novelist was
praising tie critical powers of Mark
Twain.
81 once had the honor of reading a
tale of mine to Mr.. Clemens" he said,
"and, thanks to his criticism, the tale
was greatly improved. Originally it
was too high-fown; he brought it
down to earth, ard made it home,ier
and truer.
For instance, the tale concluded
with these words:
"'Mabeps lovely eyes dropped for
answ er, a faint flush tinted her cheek.
and she gave him both her hands; and
there in the old orchard, in the shade
of the heavy-fruited trees. he drew her
to his breast, and, raising her long
ringlets to his lips, kissed them rev.
erently.'
"Mr. Clements, at this ending, blew
a cloud of smoke thoughtfully into the
air, and as he watched the smoke dis
solve, he drawled:
"'What do you think, now, honestly.
Of a young man who would go nib
bling at a girls back hair when she
had her face with her?"

who, at the close of the poll, was
found to have received only one vote.
The candidate was excessively NOR
tilted, and to increase his chagrin his
neighbors talked as if it were mat

one vote himself. This annoyed him
so much that he offered a two-and-a-
half guinea suit of clothes to his only
supporter IL the individual would
come forward and declare himself.
An Irishman responded to this ap-
peal, proved his claim, and called for
the reward.

Cold Tubs for Dous,

Cold tubs for dogs is the latest n.y.

discovered that dogs contract certain
affections of the skin and commune

this fact the necessity for cleanliness
and frequent washing is deduced. Spe-
