Po,tiesl inspiration

Congressman E. w. Townsend of New Jersey. author of "Chimmie Fad den." told a yarn of poetical lnspira- ton which is weird. to say the least He was paying his first visit to Homo lulu, some twenty-6~e years ngo, and was greeted at the wharf by Charles Dana Stoddard. one of his close per sonal friends. Townsend had decided to go to one of the local hotels and Stoddard tried to dlssuade him. desir- ing him to live at bungalow high up Nuuanu valley. which the poet had Sc- cupied for some months. He describ. ed its charms as follows:
 "Ed, it's the most beautiful spot in the world. Sitting on the front porch you can look down the valley, over the wonderful towering trees, groves of cocoanut palms and poincianas, to the sea, with its hundreds of shades of color, from gray to the deepest blue of heaven. And for poetcal inspiration I can sit on my back porch, where l do my work. and throw the ashes from my cigarette on the graves of two suicides. "-New York World.

No Answer Handy.

This is only worth the telling, writes a correspondent. because lt contains a retort which. though a triumph of in' consequence, seems to me quite unan' swerable. l happened to be reading some obvious newspaper proofs in train when the good natured man next to me, with the intention no doubt of making himself agreeable, asked, "Ah, are you connected with the pressT intlmated briefly and perhaps not over courteously that 1t was none of his business. He persisted that 1t was a quite civil inquiry, which I met with the remark that I had not asked him whether he was a clerk or a shop as sistant. AS he was obviously neither, this nettled him. "If knew" he said, what newspaper you belong to would never buy 1t again."-London Chronicle.

The author of Two Years Tn the Forbidden City" the Princess Der Ling, was lady in waiting at the court Of the famous empress dowager of China. Her majesty. the princess tells us. had an excellent estimate of herself. '1 have often thought" she once confessed. that am the most clever woman that ever lived and that others cannot compare with me
 Notwithstanding this favorable opin. ion, there were interesting lapses in universal knowledge, as when Miss Carl painted her portrait, and her ma iesty noticed the artists signature In the corner of the canvas.
 "well, know foreigners do some funny things" she remarked, but l think this Is about the funniest ever heard of. Fancy putting her name on my picture. This will naturally con yey the impression that 1t is portrait of Miss Carl and not portrait of my self at all"
 Even after the princess was or western eduCation- had explained, and the empress had consented tO allow the signature to remain. she was any thing but satisfied.

Don't Be Too Expert.

Having graduated from 8 business college with hOnorS, the young man thought himself competent to tackle any problem tn banking that could be learned without actual experience. but the old clerk knew better
 "Can you make an ensure so neatly that 1t would take an expert Co tell where it had been doneT" he asked.
 "YeS, sir" said the young man, with conscious pride.
 Well. for heavens sake don't tell your prospective employer so or you will be looking for job this time next year." the old clerk said.
 Employers are afraid of too much skill in that direction. IL gives such eunrnOds opportunities for fraud that they will fight shy of hiring you.
 "I found that out in my young days. I also was an expert with the ink eraser and proudly proclaimed my ac. compliShment Finally when found myself tocing the starvation mark l ceased tO boast and have held a good position ever since"-New York Times

 What this institution wants is some striking advertising material, some thing that has a thought in it, some thing that will catch the eye and com mand the mind. Fix me up an ad. that will make a hit when 1t is published in the morning papers,

ThaeLeray and Dickens.

This Is the way George Henry Lewes once characterized Thackeray and Dickens fin the way of service to n friend: Dickens. he said, would moi give you farthing of money, but he would take no end of trouble for you. He would spend whole day, for in- stance, in looking for the most suitable lodgings for you and would spare him self neither time nor fatigue. Thacke- ray would take two hours grumbling lndecision and hesitation fin writing a two line testimonial but he would put bis hand into his pocket and give you a handful of gold and bank notes If you wanted them.

The Criterion of Dsnas-.

The Duke of Wellington once drove Sir George Warrender from Windsor in his carriage. The duke drove so fu- riously that Sir George. dreading every moment that a terrible collision would occur. begged him not to drive so fast.
 Pooh. poohr' said his grace. Where there is no fear there is no danger"
 My dear duke" replied Sir George. 'ff fear Is the criterion of danger for heavens sake stop and let me get out. for l was never fin such funk in my Hfe."-LOndon Mall.

Testino Tea by Burning It


 T bought tea the other day at Jap anese store" said the young house keeper. "The proprietor saw that had doubts about the quality. so he darted back to the rear of the store. I expect ed him to return with a cup of steam ing tea, but he brought small ash tray and match. He threw pinch of tea into the tray, touched 1t with T lighted match and watched 1t burn. Then he applied the same test to an- other brand of tea that had claimed my half hearted allegiance. The first sample showed only small flake of ashes, the second three times as much "'which shows, said he, that the first tea Is the best That Is an infal- Hole test The better the tea the fewer the ashes l invite all my customers to test tea that way before buying
 q took the ashless tea, of course. Since then [ have wondered what the average American grocer would say if his customers should apply lighted match to their tea canister before giv- ing an order."- Washington Star.

Bonus.

"Bouus" ought to be 'bonum," since 1t is evidently intended to mean "a good thing" and therefore should be neuter, not masculine. The word is is found as early as 1773. but no one knows who was the ignorant or will fuI sinner against Latin that introduced it. though conjecture assigns 1t to the London Stock Exchange.

satisfxinn Honor In India.

They had a peculiar way of going into bankruptcy among the Marawaris in India, now unhappily giving way to the less picturesque method of the white man. When a man could not pay his bills he would summon his cred itors. They were ushered into room In which the thakur, or household god. was enshrined, but covered up with cloth and with the face turned to the wall fin order that 1t might not witness the scene that was to follow. The In. solvent would then, in garb of mourn ing, lie on the spor, presenting hls back to his credl tDrs, who. on given signal, would fall on him with shoes and slippers and belabor him till their wrath was exhausted. The beating finished, honor was declared to be satisfied all around
