He waited pa. "rial of a great empire which has ut- tientiy for the answer; but, partly. through my nervousness no doubt, I could not think of it; At length he exclaimed testiiy, ‘Dear me, how stuffy this room is, to be sure,’ and he went and began tugging at the ventilator cord. It was quite two minutes be- fore he got the thing open, and by the time he had sat down again and rear- ranged his gown I had the answer ready. Comparing notes later in the day with a man who was examined quite soon after me, I told him how‘ the ventilator had served me. ‘How remarkable,’ he replied. ‘Why, when I was stuck he said, “How extraor« dinary drafty this place is," and spent quite two minutes in shutting the vem tilator.’ ”-â€"Manchester Guardian.

No one will ever know " who planned this gigantic temple or ‘what tyrant hounded on his myriads *of people to build upthose immense blocks of stone and cover them with "the most elaborate of sculptures.

He who desires to keep at a safe distance from dentists, let him keep also at a great distance from the knife of the barber. To shave is an act against nature. Proyoke nature, and in return nature will provoke you. Said Daniel Webster: “â€" the razor! It has taught me to curse. It has cost me more time and more trouble than all my speeches.” Rufus Choate, the lawyer, called the razor an instrument invented by Lu- cifer to fill up hell with barristers. Edward Everett never used profane language, but before shaving he would invariably give vent to all sorts of French barbarisms. . _ ‘ l He Got the Trout. 'A story dealing with a large trout '-‘l‘hat was rising regularly and frequent‘ ly is told in “ low to Fish: A Treatise Hon Trout and Trout Fisheis.” This is Tthe story: “He was going up and down, up and down, up and down; not as the inseéts uoffered themselves, but as it suited his “composure that he should take a midge T-from the abundance. One youth was 1casting at the trout; another was look- :ing on. Said the‘anglerL‘I’il have that 'iish whether he takes it or not.’ "‘Iâ€"Iow?’ his friend asked. ‘I’ll throw tthe fly into his mouth.’ The trout ‘went on rising; the angler went on ‘zcasting. I perceived the angler’s no. ‘-tion. It was that if he kept casting :accurately and the trout continued to 'rise in the regular manner mentioned, :the fly would ere long fall at the very "moment when a midge was being “Itaken. This reckoning was justified. "The large trout was booked and land- .‘ed by a fly that had. been cast into his linoutli." 5 ' " ‘- , J‘eran Water. " There is a general impression that the Jordan water which is used at royal baptisms is taken from the sa- cred stream, put into a bottle, hermet- ically sealed and left untouched until the bottle is opened by the officiating priest. As a matter of fact, the water which flows out of the lake of Gal- ilee and descends a rocky gorge to a level far below that of the Mediter- ranean is full of organic substances. If a bottle be filled with the_ water and kept tightly corked for a few days it turns perfectly black and of- fers to the nostrils all the odors of the tropics. The precaution is there- fore takeuof boiling the water and straining it before it is sealed up, and this is why the baptismal water al- ways possesses the crystal clearness which one notices on these ceremonial occasionsâ€"Modern Society. Old Fashioned Oratory. “We don’t have no sich forensic ora- ‘tory as we used to have,” said the old 'scttler. “Lawyers nowadays don’t "-orate. They only just talk. “Take old Bill K. Simmons of Plan “Clair. If Bill was defendin’ a lowly chicken thief he’d speak with the ‘tougue of angels. I’ll never forgit the ",jperoraticn of his impassioned philippic in the Clay Bull case about the poison- ‘=ed cat. It runs like this-here.” The little, thin old man rose, reared back in a defiant attitude and shouted in the cracked treble of age: ‘ “‘Ilestin’ upon the couch of repub- Ilican liberty as I do, covered with the blanket of constitutional panoply as I (am and protected by the aegis of American equality as I feel myself to ~be. I despise the buzziu' of the profes- sional inscck who has just sot down fund defy his attempt to penetrate with puny sting the interstices of me lm~ :‘pervious coverin‘.’ ” s . The Undertaker’s Shop. “The one thing in New York that I can’t get used to,” said the country visitor, “is the manifold uses to which undertakers put their shops. I used to be of the opinion that the only possible errand a person could have at an un- dertaker’s was to purchase funeral supplies, but in this town I find that people go there for all sorts of pur- poses. They go to vote, to get mar- ried and to transact all the legal busi- ness that a notary public is capable of transacting. Yesterday I even saw a party eating luncheon in an under- taker’s establishment. They had come into town apparently to attend a fu- neral and instead of patronizing a res- taurant they calmly munched their .midday meal in the midst of those lu- gubrious surroundings." 2“ i, q ,_ The Log Driver.
