1haokeray's Satire,

Thackeray created quite erroneous impressions of himself by often indulg- ing in irony in the presence of people who were incapable of understanding 1t. One curious instance which he gave was this: Thackeray had been dining at the Garrick and was talking in the smoking room after dinner with vari ous club acquaintances. One of them happening to have left his cigar ease at home. Thackeray. though di-l.nii.
 the man. who was notorious tGi
 hunter, good naturedly offered him on
 of his cigars. The man accepted the cigar, but. not finding it to his liking, had the bad taste to say to Thackeray. "I say, Thackeray. you won't mind my saying l don't think much of this cigar?" Thackeray, no doubt irritated at the mans ungraciousness and bear ing in mind his tuft hunting predilec- tions. quietly responded, You ought to, my good fellow, for 1t was given me by lord" Instead, however. of detecting the irony. the dolt immedi- ately attributed the remark to snob- bishness on Thackeray's part and to the end of his days went about declar- ing that "Thackeray had boasted that he had been given a cigar by lord"

Jungle Housekeepinq.

The negro housewife in the West Indian jungle finds housekeeping very easy Fruit and vegetables grow wild all about the hut and the river aboundI with fish, On wash day all she has 10 do is to pick a few of the berries of the soap berry tree. lake her clothes to the river and use the berries as she would use ordinary soap. Even her cooking pots grow on the trees. the calabash cut in halves being used for this purpose. Cal;. tashes are used also for bowls, basins and jugs for carrying water from the river, while the small ones make excellent cups In the afternoon, when she is ready for her cup of tea, the negress picks half dozen leaves from the lime bush growing at her door. boils them. squeezes the juice from sugar cane for sweetening and the cocoanut sup plies the milk. Thus she has a deli cious cup of tea without depending on the grocer for it. She makes the mats for her floor out of the dried leaves of the banana. plaited and sewed togeth CT as the old country people in this country make their rag mats.

Tho Expense of . Wife.

A wife is decided addition to the demands upon ones purse. In that sense. however sensible and managing she may be. she is expensive. But everything worth having has it's price of one sort or another, and there are some thingS which cost much without which life is hardly worth living.
 Said Thiers: Most men contemplate making some self denial when they marry. They think they will give up such and such expensive pleasures. Later on, when they discover that they cannot do so, and at the same time they lack the means to indulge, they complain that 1t is the extravaganza of their wives which causes the incon- venience."
 Which wise saying is applicable to men in other countries besides that of France.-New York American.

An Experience at Hull Houss.

An Experience at Hull House.
 Even death itself sometimes fails to bring the dignity and serenity which one would fain associate w4sh old age. I recall the dying hour of one old Scotchwoman whose long struggle to "keep respectable" had so embittered her that her last words were gibes fo, . those who were trying to minister to her. "So you came in yourself this morning, did you? You only e:: eo. . things yesterday. l guess you k--v when the doctor was coming. Don't try to warm my feet with anything but that old jacket that I've got there: it belonged to my boy who was drowned at sea nigh thirty years ago, but it's warmer yet with human feelings than any of your confounded charity hot water bottles" Suddenly the harsh gasping voice was stilled in death, and l awaited the doctors coming, shaken and horrifed.-Jane Addams in Amer. ican Magazine.
