AS relief from the ingenuity OF the
specimens which l have given, i. is well |
10 introduce occasionally q question
which ought to be obvious to every one,
but Is not. For instance what makes
more noise than pig under a gate
Two pigs; why does traveller who has
been on long journey, and comes to
board fence in the midst OF a forest, try
TO get over 1t? because he wants to get
over; what is the best thing to do in
hurry? nothing; why does a miller wear
I white hat? to keep his head warm
Lord Dundreary gives one Of this kind
which, though obvious, is notwithstan>
ling exceeding logical:


Why doeth dog waggle hith tail 7
live it up? / think moth fellath will
give that up' You thee the dog wag,
,eh hith tail becauth the dogth thtwon.
ger than the tail II he walnut, the
all would waggle the dog


1t is so easy to make conumdrums that
most intelligent men will prefor to pul
heir tacnlties to some harder and usefu,
ask. A dancer once said TO Spartan,
l can stand on one leg longer than you
Perhaps so, said the Spartan, 'and so
IAN my goose A few conumdrums
re very well after dinner with raisons
nd nuts, aud | have no doubt my friends
he editor, will be willing to furnish
hem at reasonable rates in lots to suit
purchasers.
