The Meters Record.

A representative of the gas depart ment called on a householder and in timated that he was afraid something was wrong with the meter. From the official point of view. of course, meters can only show one fault and the symp- tom which had cast suspicion on this meter was that it had registered less during the quarter than in the core spending part of the previous year But the lady of the house has a con vincing explanation of the decline.
 You see" she said, my daughter was engaged last winter. She got married in June"
 The official who was evidently a parent himself. was quite satisfied and the meter left the court without a stain upon its high character.

Barnums Frankness.

On one occasion Barnum had an elephant engaged in blowing on the sloping hill where it could plainly be seen by the passengers on the New Haven and Hartford railroad, an agri- cultural innovation that he knew would get notice of some sort in every newspaper in the country.
 IL was even said that he received letters from farmers far and wide asking how much hay one elephant ate. and if it were more profitable to blow with an elephant than with horses or oxen.
 His replies were invariably frank, and were of this purport:
 If you have a large museum in New York, and a great railway com pany sends trains full of passengers within eyeshot of the performance, it will pay, and pay well; but if you have no such institution, then horses or oxen will prove more economical"

 Of "Wit."

Lloyd-Georpe's wit on the platform is well known. but here is one of the neatost retOFts he ever made
 He was addressing a meeting in South Wales. according Co pearson's Weekly. when the chairman. thinking to be witty at the chancollor's expense. remarked Co the audience that he was a little disappointed to Lloyd-George' s appearance.
 ''I had heard 90 much about Mir. Lloyd George" he said. that 1 nat urally expected 10 meet a big man in every sense; but. as you can see for yourselves. he Is very small tn stat ure."
 Many an orator would have been grievously upset by such an unfortu- nate beginning to the proceedings. but not SO Lloyd.George.
 ''1 am grieyed Co find he said with mock seriousness. that your chairman is disappointed in my size. but this is owing to tho way you have here Of measuring a man In North Wales We measure a man from his chin up. but you evidently measure him from his chin down."
