A Bit Of English Humor.

An English humorist many years ago
hit upon a neat way of scoring against
certain politicians of the times. A
comic journal, not being a newspaper
within the meaning Of the act, was pro-
hibited from giving news. and SO in
place of a parliamentary report the
humorist in question reported a few
first lines" from speeches by promi-
nent members: ''Sir Charles Wetherell
said he was not sensible"- Mr.. Hunt
was entirely ignorant Lord Ashley
said he should take the earliest op-
portunity Of moving "Mr. Perceval
presented a petition PRAYING Colo
mel Sibthorpe never could under
stand Lord Lyndhurst said he
must entreat of every one to give him
credit Sir Edward Sugden was not
one Of those. who thought "Mr.
Croker said he had the fullest assur-
ance"-

MIXED WIVES.

The Dilemma That Mr.. Church Faced
and How He Mastsred II.
In the early part of the last century
there lived in an old New England
town a Mr. Church, who in the course
of his early life was bereft Of four
wives, all Of whom were buried in the
same lot.
In his old age it became necessary to
remove the remains to a new cemetery.
This he undertook himself. but in the
process the bones became hopelessly
mixed.
His New England conscience" would
not allow him under the painful cir
cumstances to use the original head
stones, 80 he procured new ones. one
of which bore the following inscrip-
ton.
Here lies Hannah Church and prob
ably portion of Emily"
Another:
Sacred to the memory Of Emily

WORK OF EARTHWORMS.


These Humble Burrowers Are Great
Aids to tho Farmer.
The humble earthworm is one of
mans best friends. The farmer and
the gardener could not spare him. DR..
J. Newton Friend tells about him in
Science Progress. From DR.. Friend s
observations it appears that worms
aerate the soil in a variety Of ways.
In burrowing through the soil the
worms render 1t more porous and per-
meable to gases, not merely by virtue
son OF the fact that the soil is thus
continually kept in gentle motion.
Again, the soil passing through the
bodies Of worms is excreted in a finer
condition, being ground by attrition
through the intestines. Darwin esti-
mated that no fewer than fifteen tons
Of soil annually pass through the bod
les of worms for every acre.
Further, worms breathe in oxygen
and exhale carbon dioxide. and the lat
ter gas, as is well known. readily dis
solves in water, forming an acid solu-
ton which will render alkaline earths
and metallic oxides-iron-soluble.
Worms materially aid in producing
soluble salts of iron in the soil when
other agencies-e. g., dilute mineral
acids-fail. The iron Is eventually Civ
en- back to the soil in a more soluble
condition and presumably in one which
can be directly absorbed by plant
roots,

BAZAARS OF CAIRO.
The Curious Tiny shops and tho Mar
row, Swarmins Streets.

wv S'SN~S"
The bazaars of Cairo are very inter
esting. The streets are exceedingly mar
row, and the stores OF the merchants
are often no larger than a good sized
cupboard. without doors. but with
shelves on which the goods are dis
played. The merchants squat down on
little platform in front. You see here
the workers in gold and silver. weavers
OF silk fabrics and slipper makers, do
ing their work in the same way il was
done hundreds OF years ago. The old
est bazaar is that OF the scentmakers.
They have a whole street TO them
selves. and when you get within a hun
dred yards or so the only guide You
need Is your nose.
These narrow streets are crowded
with a ceaseless throng of natives
women with yelled faces; men. women
and children on donkeys: curious fat
carts drawn by donkeys. on which
squat women enshroaded in black
nothing visible but one eye. and occa
sionally along comes a great numbering
camel, quite as large as half dozen OF
the native shops. Cabmeu drive past
with studied indifference to life and
limb. and rather than get hurt you
crowd yourself into a bunch Of natives
at the risk of having your pocket p3cked
or being covered with vermin.-Chris

How the Question Was Answered by q
Professor of Chemistry.

An old college professor used to say
TO his students: What is dirt? Don't
be afraid Of little dirt, young gentle
man. What is dirt? Why. nothing at
all offensive when chemically viewed.
Rub a little alkali upon that dirty
grease spot on your coat, and it under
goes a chemical change and becomes
soap. Now rub it With little water,
and it disappears. 1t is neither grease.
soap, water nor dirt.
That ia not very odorous pile Of
dirt you observe there. Well, scatter
a little gypsum over it, and it is no
longer dirty. Everything you call dirt
is worthy Of your notice as students
Of chemistry. Analyze 1t. analyze IL!
1t will all separate into very clear ele-
ments.
dirt makes corn, corn makes bread
and meat, and that makes a very
sweet young lady that l saw one of
you kissing last night. So, after all.
you were kissing dirt, particularly II
she whitened her skin with chalk or
fullers earth.
There is no telling young gentlemen.
what is dirt, though I may say that
rubbing such stuff upon the beautiful
skin of young lady is a dirty prac-
tice. Nice. pearly face powder is made

A PuxxIins Trick.

Take a piece Of writing paper about
three inches square and with a lead
pencil. the point Of which has been
dipped in water. draw a circle. a
square, a triangle or any other geo.
metr1cal figure. Put the paper care
fully on a pan Of water. letting it float
and leaving the surface dry. Carefully
drop water on the surface Of the paper
until the space within the squire is
filed. The moistened pencil lines will
keep 1t from flowing outside the figure.
Now place the point Of a pin over some
point in the figure near the edge. The
pin point must penetrate the surface of
the water. but must not touch the pa
per. At once the paper will float around
until the pin points directly to the CEN
ter of the figure. See II you can find
out why 1t does this.
