A Rare Autoqraph.

tsWhat is the most expensive auto- graph you ever sold?" inquired the re porter.
 "That of Thomas Lynch, Jr.," an swered the dealer. The reporter looked perfectly blank. Never heard of him. he confessed.
 Well, he was a signer of the Decla- ration of Independence. He signed it as proxy for his father, who was ill at the time. Soon after he went to sea and was never heard of again. Now, autographs of Declaration signers are much sought by collectors. None ap- proach in rarity, those of Thomas Lynch, Jr In fact, so far as know, there is only one in existence.
 'This is affixed to an autograph letter addressed by Lynch to George Wash ington, which lends it additional value. It was owned at one time by Jared Sparks, president of Harvard college. Subsequently, it passed to Thomas Ad- dis Emmet, from whom bought it for the sum of $4.OO0. I sold it to Au- gustin Daly, who was keen auto graph collector, for $4,5O0. Later En- met repented of letting the autograph go from his possession and secured it from Daly for $5,25o. presenting it afterward to the Lenox library, New York, where it is now" Philadelphia Ledger

Thanked His Stars.

When the French revolution broke out number of scientists lost their lives, but Lalande, the astronomer, only paid the more attention to the skies and its cancellations. When he found, after the reign of terror, that he had escaped the fury of the mob he exclaimed gratefully, "I may thank my stars for it." Would any apparent jest possess more genuine truth?
 Allison tells how during Napoleon's Egyptian campaign no sooner were the mamelukes observed at distance than the word was given, Form square; artillery to the angles; asses and sa- vans to the center.' The command afforded no little merriment to the sol diers even at such an exciting mo- ment and made them call the asses demisavans.

He Was the Same Man.

A prominent merchant of Sheffield recently accosted gentleman on the street with:
 Good morning, MT. Johnson. How is coal today?''
 'Well,"- responded the other, q am not much acquainted with the coal market, but I can ascertain the price if it will accommodate you"
 q beg pardon" laughed the mer- chant. T really thought you were Mr. Johnson, the coal dealer. You certainly resemble him." A few days later the merchant en- tered a tram car and, seating himself beside gentleman, exclaimed heartily
 Well, MT. Johnson, I'm glad to rec ognize you today. I made laughable mistake one day last week. mistook another man for you and, addressing him very familiarity, asked how coal was.. He looked amused and replied that he did not know much about coal, but would inquire if it would accom- modate me. Then looked at him and saw that he was perfect stranger. It really was laughable, MT. Johnson, but be looked so much like you"
 4Yes," responded the gentleman, looking more amused, '.and am that same party again"
 The merchant recognizes no more coal dealers.-London Tit-Bits.

The Origin of "Rox."

The origin of Boz is known to most readers interested in Dickens. A younger brother of the novelist was known in the family circle as Moses, in facetious allusion to one of the char acters in the "Vicar of Wakefield '' and this being pronounced in fun through the nose became ''Boses" and 30 "Boz," which Dickens adopted as his early pen name. Boz" he once wrote, twas a very familiar household word to me long before I was an au- thor, and so came to adopt it.
 Before the real name of "Boz" be- came well known somebody invented and circulated the following smart cpl gram:
 Who the Dickens "Boz" could be
 Puzzled many a curious elf
 Till time unveiled the mystery
 And Boz" appeared as Dickens self. Hood wrote punningly, but ungram- matieally:
 Aren't that 'ere .''Boz" tiptop feller? Lots write well, but he writes Weller.

Diogenes, lantern in hand, entered the village drug store. Say, have you anything that will cure a cold?" he asked.
 ''No, sir, have not" answered the pill compiler.
 ''Give me your hand," exclaimed Diogenes, dropping his lantern. T have at last found an honest man."
