talking replied that she already had

Next morning the lady put her cream into

it out and poured the buttermilk into the
peddler's churn.
He came, and churned and churned, but NO
butter.
There's no butter in this cream" he ex-

A man who thought himself a scientist gave
a public lecture on electricity. The hall was at
first tolerably full, but the audience began to
go out one by one, until a solitary man re-
manned
He appeared to be listening very atten-
lively, thus encouraging the lecturer to pro-

At the end of an hour he paused and said,

that IT was the cabman who had driven him
to the lecture hall.
An American traveller in Russia has un-
earthed relic Of Catherine the Great, which
amuslngly illustrates the conservatism of the
Russians. One day, in crossing a bridge she
noticed that the half-dozen wooden images
upon pedestals, which ornamented it, were
weather-worn. "The statues must be repaint-
ed" she said. The next day a painter was
set to work, and every year afterwards while
the Empress lived, she gave orders TO have
them repainted. At her death it had become
an established annual custom, and today the
poor statues, covered with more than hun
dred coats of Vermillion paint, have no re-
sembance to anything but ungainiy blocks Of
wood.

against the stone fireplace by the
young woman. who then attempted to
smother her mother with a pillow.
but was prevented BY nd son and
ether men who were attracted to the
scene by the screams of the mother.
The terrible affair is said to be the
outgrowth OF objections which the
mother had to attentions which a Ger.
tam young man of the neighborhood
had Leen paying To the girl. The son
however sides with his sister in the
matter. and both say that the elder
woman had been very dissgreeable
to her family throughout her lie. Her
husband died several years ago
the fight between the two women
occurred Saturday afternoon as the
women were cleaning up the dinner
things in the kitchen. II was a rough

The girl has not been arrested az
yet aud so far no steps have been
taken for her apprehension. Some
of the noIghbors are inclined To be-

The business men declare that th(
phone company is palpably violating
IN agreement made with the peopl(

which was seeking admittance here
would not be encouraged.
