What does that prove to you, gentlemen ?” tales’! Jim had been far from good during the day, and toward nightfall he real: ised the fact fully. Being well a;- quainted with the workings of the family discipline, he essayed a little diplomacy. An old Irishwoman one morning went to a lady’s house where she had been in the habit of getting assim ance. The door was opened by tht lad’y herself. The old woman 1';- marked: “Shall you tell father about me he inquired of his mother. “Sure, didn't.

"Was it your purse, or spectacles, or cheque-book, sir?” And so on, till he hit on the right object._ ““788 it to go to bed, 811'?” suggest. ed his faithful retainer. “Ah, the very thingâ€"the very thing.

Borrower: “You are very kind to lend me this fiver. I feel as if I can never repay you.” Lender: “Eh? Why on earth didn’t you say that at first?” up. A railway guard ,busily engaged in ‘ etting his train ready to start acci- entally trod on a lady’s dress as she swept by. “-Yesâ€"that is so,” faltered the young man. Waking with a start at the mention of his name, the slumberer almost broke up the service by replying, “I led last time; it's your turn. What’s trumps ?" The old lady seemed to have some- thing on her mind, and one night she let go when her daughter’s young man called. “Mr. Simpson,” she began im- pressibly, “a friend of mine informs me that you are meployed by aflrm of pork butchers.’ "Aid still,” continued the old lady, white with indignation, “you led Mray 311' me to believe that you were a costumier?" “Well," replied Mr. Simpson, “ so I am. You see, I putvthe tights on the sausages. ” "vvm' Brother Jones kindly lead?” asked the pastor at the beginning of the prayer service. At a small country school the schol- ars were having a lesson about ani- mals. The teacher had asked several questions which were quite easily an- wered. The next question was. "Why does a dog hang its tongue out when it is running?’ He was the leading light of a little Methodist Church, and his character had always been above reproach until a certain prayer-meeting which fol- lowed a sermon, during which he so far forgot himself as to fall asleep. â€" Dr. Duckâ€"You evidently swallowed a live grasshOpper. Roosterâ€"I have a sort of jumping pain inside. The lad at once replied: “To balance its tail. mum." This was not answered so easily. but one lad who had not answered a question during the lesson held n} his hand. The teacher at once said: “Yes Tommy, what is it?” DIAGNOSINIG HIS CASE. WHAT HE WENT FOR THE TRUTH AT LAST. ANSWERED AT LAST. EQUIVOCAL THANKS. TH E TWO TRAINS FACIAL TOUCHES. WHAT’S TRUMPS. Dye Before You Patch. “Never patch a garment just before it goes to the dyers.” was the advice of a young woman in a dyeing estab- lishment. “Unless the patch and the thread it is sewed on with are exactly the same kind of material as the gar- ment they will come out of the dye pot diflerent shades. Here is a blue skirt that was brought to us cream colored. The cloth had worn through in several places. and the owner had patched the tiny holes so painstaking- ly that the patches could not be de- tected in the original color, but after the dyeing they showed up a darker blue. The amount of dye any ma- terial will take depends upon how much cotton wool or silk it contains. It is so hard to determine that exactly that any garment that has to be mend- ed can be matched much better after dyeing.”-â€"Nem York Sun. The Telephone Voice. The voice heard over the telephone is a mechanical reproduction of the original voice and difl'ers from that of a speaking tube or megaphone, where the sound waves produced by the speaker at one end are transmitted directly to the other end. In the tele- phone the diaphragm of the transmit- ter is caused to vibrate by the sound waves produced by some one talking into the transmitter mouthpiece. This diaphragm is connected with a small receptacle having a flexible front and partially filled with granular carbon. This carbon offers resistance to elec- tric current in proportion to the me- chanical pressure brought upon it. The diaphragm, therefore, in vibrat- 1'ng produces a varying pressure against the carbon. The carbon is Included in an electric circuit. so that the variations in its resistance will vary the current strength in the cir- cult. Glass In the Making. The manufacture of glass antedates tuthentic history. It is only about seventy-five years, however, since its true character was ascertained. It is now generally conceded to be a saltâ€"a chemical compound resulting from the union of an acid with a base. The acid is silica, the same that is found in quartz or the quartz particles of sand; hence the use of sand in its manufac- ture. The base may be potash (or soda), together with alumina and lime, or lead may take the place of lime. Lime makes a hard glass and one less susceptible to acids and suited to win- dows and chemical purposes; lead a softer, more fusible and more lustrous article, suitable for optical instruments. All acids act to some extent on glass. especially if the latter has an excess of alkali in it. Even Wine may core rode the bottles wherein it is contain- ed. The moisture of the air often dis- solves out the alkali, causing the rain- bow-like colors (iridescence) or some windowpanes. Severe. A story is going the rounds at a certain university regarding one of the sarcastic professors. who was recently conducting an oral examination in a very scientific study. There was one student. handsome, easy and self possessed, who appeared to be utterly ignorant of the simplest phases of the subject. The professm' said nothing. but gravely tore 03 a tiny piece of paper from a convenient pad. “Here, Mr. B.,” be said, handing it to the student. “write all you know. Take plenty of timeâ€"there’s no hurry.” Professor W. put question after question to him without receiving one intelligent reply. Finally the student said naively: “I’m very unfortunate. professor; you never ask me anything I know." What Rhymes With Babe? A common English word for which there is only one rhyme is “babe," and it was Swinburne who used it with exquisite appropriateness in “E Rhyme:” The Trouble. Gramercyâ€"We can’t afi’ord to give a dinner in the house. Besides, we haven’t the things. Mrs. Gramercyâ€" Pshaw! We can borrow the silver. Gramercy-Yes, and have the guests carry most of it away as souvenirs.â€" Judge. Love alone, with yearning Heart for astrolabe. Takes the sun’s height. burning O’er the babe. “Silence” is another word beloved 01' poets that has no rhyme. Mrs. Brown- ing went to the very limits of her pas- sion for assonance when she rhymed it with “islands!” Oddities About Alphabets. When the Portuguese first explored Brazil they made great fun of the na- tives of that country because they had in their alphabet no t, r or lâ€"a peo- ple, the invaders declared, without fe, ley or reyâ€"without faith. law or king. The Mohawks, again, have no labials and vowed it was absurd when the missionaries tried to teach them to pronounce p and b, “for who.” said. they, “can speak with his mouth shut?”â€"Blackwood’s Magazine. Something Was. Rivers was smoking a cheap cigar. “Seems to me,” said Brooks, “I smell something like cloth burning.” But Rivers was game. He touched the lighted end of his cigar to his shirt sleeve. “No wonder.” he said. exhibiting thc burned spot.â€"Chicago Tribune.
