Pointed Jokes That Passcd Between the Two Authors. Voltaire and Rousseau, though om friendly terms, were in the habit of firing off pointed jokes at one another. One day Rousseau was dining with Voltaire, and oysters were brought on the table, for, as somebody has remark ed, no dinner could be complete with out them. The author of "Emile," aft er helping himself pretty freely, made the somewhat injudicious remark: "I am sure I could eat as many oOys- ters as Samson slew Philistines." "With the same weapon?" (the jaw- bone of an ass) slyly inquired Voltaire. Rousseau did not soon forget the lit tle joke at his expense and sought an opportunity for revenge. Not long aft- erward Voltaire called at his bouse during his absence. The door being open, he walked into the library, and, finding all the books thrown about in confusion and covered with dust, he traced on one of them the word "co- chon" (pig) with his finger. Next day he met Rousseau and said to him: "I called at your house yesterday, but did not find you in." "I know," replied the latter. "I found your card." For Over Bixty Years MRS.
