that the strop is hanging u, on nail

La a STRANGE Land.


Two belated disciples of Bacchus
staggered arm in arm up Walnut
street about o'clock the other morn
ing. The street was dark except for
a single ground glass globe that blazed
in front of an apartment house. One
of the inebriates, spying this lone
light, observed:
"Oh, look at zhe moonsh!"
The other seriously contradicted him,
saying:
'That amt no mOonsh; Fash sun"
This started an argument, which
lasted for several minutes, as to wheth-
ser the globe was the moon or the sun.
Finally they decided TO leave it to the
first passerby, who happened to be an
other happy gentleman. They stop
ped him and, pointing to the globe,
asked:
"Settle an argument, old pal. Is
that the moon or the sun?'
The third party stared knowingly at
the globe for several minutes before
he shook his head and replied:
Gentlemen, | really couldn't tell
you. I'm a stranger in this town. -

The oriain Of the Periwiu,

The periwig, which played SO impor-
tant a part in the toilet of a man of
fashion during part of the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries, owed its orr
gin to Louis NV. of France. When a
little boy Che succeeded to the throne
at five years of age) he possessed a
profusion of remarkably beautiful
waving hair which fell in clustering
curls over his shoulders The courtiers
initiated the boy king by having heads
Of false hair to initiate his natural
locks. and when Louis grew up he
adopted the periwig himself
During the reign of William and
Mary periwigs were worn in exagger-
ated dimensions and the beaux used
to comb their wigs in public with spe-
cial combs Of ivory and tortoise shell,
which became at last quite indispensa-
BILE to these fine gentlemen.

Next time your slumber fails to ar
rive on schedule time cast all thought
of sleep from your mind and start in
to name to yourself all the friends
you have had or now possess. It's
much more interesting than counting
sheep. Perhaps you have only one
friend, but one is enough-he may be
the more appreciated. Jest think of
how you came to know each other. of
how the friendship developed and of
the happy incidents that have marked
your acquaintance. Or, if you have
no earthly friends whatever, let your
thought dwell upon the great Friend
of the friendless and how you came to
know him. Somehow the most pre-
cious of our earthly friendships seem
poor compared to this one that dis
lance and time and even death itself
cannot sever And there is one advan-
tage in this attempt to defeat in
somnia-even your wakefulneSs will
be enjoyable and restful.-Interior.

Told II In RHYME.

The late Rev. John Skinner, author
OF annals of Scottish Episcopacy.'
was first appointed to a charge in Mon
trose, whence he was removed to
Banff, and ultimately to Forfar Aft
er he had left Montrose it reached his
ears that an i'll natured insinuation
was circulating there that he had been
induced to leave this town by the
temptation of a better income and Of
fat pork. which, it would appear. was
plentiful in the locality of his new In
cumbency. Indignant at sucn an as
persion, he wrote letter, directed to
his maligners, yindicating himself
sharply from it, which he showed to
his grandfather, John Skinner Of
Langside, for his approval. The cid
gentleman objected to 1t as too lengthy
and proposed the following pithy sub
stitute:
Had Skinner been of carnal mind,
AS strangely We suppose,
Or had he even been fond of swine
He'd neer have left Montrose.

How to Kill and Cook Possun,.

Just how a poSsum ought to be killed
and cooked is told in the Atlanta Con-
stitution by an expert known far and
wide in Georgia. He says:
ITO kill a possum his head should be
placed beneath stick. Stand on the
stick and pull the possum's tail until
his neck is broken. A possum requires
careful treatment, and to cook one to
perfection a peculiar arrangement is
necessary. A pan on legs should be
provided with hole in one end which
can be plugged. Goals placed under
the pan will slowly cook the possum.
and as the grease runs out Of the car
cass it should be drawn off from time to
time. All the time the carcass should
be basted with a sauce made of pep
per and vinegar In the meantime the
potatoes should be boiled. When the
possum is almost done the potatoes
should be packed in the pan around
the possum, little sugar sprinkled
over them, and then the gravy which
has been drawn off from the pan
should be poured on, after which pos
sum and potatoes should be Drowned
to turn"

Learning English.

The essential difference between the
Specification of words and terms in the
English tongue which are almost the
same in etymology and origin is a
great element of difficulty to foreign
er who is learning the language, fact
to which a certain attache of foreign
mission at Washington recently testi-
fed.
When the budding diplomatist in
question arrived at our national capi-
tai year or two ago he soon eapitu-
lated to the charms of young woman
of the official set, and they speedily
became the best of friends A month
or so ago the attache returned to this
country after lengthy leave of abb
sence passed in his own land. About
the first thing he did on reaching
Washington was to send a note to the
lady of his admiration, wherein, to her
establishment and indignation, he gave
expression to this sentiment:
