Introduction Needed.

Housekeeping" said a pessimistic
New York bachelor, will soon be a
lost art-in this town, at any rate.

asked woman friend.
do you know what eggplant looks
like before it is cooked?" was his ap-
parently irrevelant reply.
Mono" the woman replied, i
don't believe I do.''
Right there said the bachelor,
"you have an answer TO your own
question. If you were the only wom-
an who didn't know raw eggplant
when you saw it, or if eggplant was
the only raw vegetable you were not
acquainted with, I would have no
grounds for the assertion; but ! have
it on the authority of restaurant pro-
prietors and marketmen that half the
women who eat all their meals out
could not call eggplant, satisfy, pars-
nips, kohlrabi and most Of the turnip
family by name if they met them face
to face. Is that true? 2"
81 am afraid it u.s. the woman &C
knowledged. But most men wouldn't
recognize them, either

ferent. We are not supposed to be
up in such things"

Dragging of his well-developed sense
of touch, particularly in the matter
Of money. He boasted that he could
tell the denomination of any United
States coin merely by feeling it. His
partner wearied of these boasts and
came back with this:
"Your sense o feelin' amt nothing
to my friend Marcus. Him and me
used to work on the Pullman down
through Kansas. Marcus had been on
this route for about ten years. One
night when we was both a-sleepin !,
