Youna's Impromptu.

To most persons Edward Young is the author of Night Thoughts and nothing more. but he was also man of the world and a shrewd and caustic wit as we'll as the rector of St. Mary's church at Welwyn.
 It was there in the garden of the rec tory that he composed some of the best impromptu verses known. He was walking with two ladies when some one summoned him to the house. His companions were agreeable, and he was in no haste to leave them. Turn ing as he reached the gate. he said: Thus Adam looked when from the garden

Josephine's Many Names.

Josephine. empress of the French. was Yeyette to her intimate friends. Her name in reality was Marie Josephe Rose. Napoleon after the marriage exacted that she should be known as Josephine He had mania for re baptiZing the women of his entourage. He made lis sister Marianne an Elise, of Annonciade Caroline. of Paulette a Pauline.
 Among her numerous friends Joseph fine remained Yeyette. Barras never called her otherwise
 The pope was so unfamiliar with her name that when he sent his benc- diction the letter borne by his legate was addressed to Our Sister In Jesus Christ. Victoria Bonaparte.
 In 1914, on the departu~ for Elba. the Debats designated Josephine under the paraphrase "the mother of Prince Eugene
 At Ruell her tomb bears this simple inscription, "A Josephine. Eugene ct Hortense, 1895" The restoration did not permit her recognition as empress. -Cri de Paris.

Carryinq a Watch.

After carrying a watch for thirty years I have just learned something new in watch lore" said the city sales man. q don't know whether this is true or not, but an old watchmaker told me- I bought watch of him the other day. It was a cheap watch. He said:
 "'What pocket are you going to car ry your watch in-the right or left?' -
 q told him the left
 "Then.' said he, I will regulate it for the left
 q asked what difference it made, and he declared that watch runs faster on the left side than on the right, so to keep it from gaining time he regulates it accordingly. In fine watches the difference is hardly worth considering, but in watches of cheap make like mine it is very noticeable. asked for scientific reason for this variation. He could give none; said he only knew it was true. and then, whether he was fdking or not. he pre- tended to regulate my watch for the left pocket"-New York Sun

The Substitution.

It is we'll known fact that both Sir Arthur Sullivan and Sir W. s. Gilbert had horror of tho titles of their operas becoming known until the very nicht of their performance. This fear that they might be forestalled ere ated considerab ble confusion at the mi tial pr0Guction of 'Iolanthe; or The Peer and the Peri" The opera was rehearscd for weeks under the title of "Perola." It was only at the dress rehearsal that the company was 1n- structed to substitute the name "Io- lanthe" for that of "Pero!a" wherever 1t occurred in the text or lyrics. It was no easy task to replace vocally and in the dialogue a name of three syllables for one of four. Sullivan, however, said (maybe aside) to one or two of the actors who were nervous: GO ahead and sing the music. Gill bert won't be in front" (Gilbert never attended the first night, ''so use any name that you think of first if you are rattled. No one in the audience will be any wiser."-Boston Post.

Why the Judge Paid.

A physician, says medical journal that vouches for the truth of the story, was once summoned in haste to attend the child of family that lived in two rooms in the heart of q large American city-not New York The chid had been seized suddenly and seriously and just at election time. The mother was in despair. and when the doubt ful prognOsis was given she broke into waiing and violent self condem- nation for some horrible sin of the family to which she said the chid's illness was due-a direct punishment for their crime. She would go and curse the magistrate for 1t all, her husband should resign from "the force" and such evil ways should be renounced forever
 Curious to know how the magistrate could be held responsible for the child's illness. the doctor finally se- cured the confession that the crime of the poor, conscience stricken woman consisted in allowing the names of many fraudulent voters to be regis tered as residing fin her house. in swearing to the lie, etc. The magis- trate also had demanded this of all the neighbors in return for indescrib- able political favors.
 The child recovered, and the magis- trate paid the physicians bill.

 'I was acting in a comedy when l had to speak the words Whats the matterY Well. one night l was rather slow about taking my cue and was prompted I forgot myself for the mo- rnent, and when the words came. Whats the matter? l thought some thing or other had occurred out of the common. paused and looked round. Everything seemed normal, and the stage waited Then came another Whats the natter? from the o. r. side. They were all getting anxious behind the scenes, and so was l, for that matter. l looked myself up and down and then scanned my fellow actor. but for the life of me couldn't see anything wrong. At last an audi ble whisper came: Go on with your lines. you idiot! Whats the matter with youT Then it suddenly da wned on me where l was, but the house had tumbled to the situation and came down in convulsions." s."-Minneapolis Journal
