“  Mam  and  eggs,  please,”  said  the  cus¬ 
tomer  in  the  down-town  restaurant. 
“A  cluck  ’n  a  grunt,  Billy!”  yelled  the 
waiter  to  the  cook. — Little  PeddlinqUm 
OheewUz. 
Little  Boy  :  “  Mamma  sent  me  to  get 
a  hair  brush.”  Shopman:  “What  sort 
of  a  hair  brush  do  you  want  ?  ”  Little 
Boy  :  “I  want  one  with  a  soft  back.” — 
Life. 
“Poor  creatures!”  exclaimed  Mrs. 
Grosgrain,  looking  at  the  pictures  of 
nude  savage  women ;  “  no  clothing  of 
any  kind  !  I  wonder  what  the  poor  things 
ha  ve  to  talk  about  !  ” — Bouton  Transcript 
Mrs.  Keene:  “There  are  times  when 
I  wish  I  were  a  man.”  Mr.  Keene:  “For 
instance?”  Mrs.  Keene:  “  When  I  pass  a 
milliner’s  window  and  think  how  happy  I 
could  make  my  wife  by  giving  her  a  new 
bonne  t.  ’  ’ — P  uck. 
“  I  have  always  taken  pleasure  in  your 
presence,”  she  said,  as  they  were  parting 
as  friends  and  nothing  more.  “I  beg 
your  pardon,”  he  said  reflectively,  “  but 
do  you  mind  spelling  that  last  word?” — 
Vermont  Watchman. 
At  Home  and  Arroad. — Dicker:  “I 
am  told  that  Wahl  is  a  very  different 
man  in  his  family  than  on  the  street.” 
Bond  :  “  Yes  ;  Mrs.  Wahl  says  he’s  a  bull 
on  the  street  and  a  bear  at  home.” — New 
York  Herald. 
Professor  :  “  This  eccentricity  you 
speak  of  in  your  daughter,  isn’t  it,  after 
all,  a  matter  of  heredity  ?”  The  mother 
(severely):  “No,  sir!  I’d  have  you  to 
know,  sir,  there  never  was  any  heredity 
in  our  family.” — Yankee  Blade. 
Miss  Elder:  “  Well,  I  maintain  that 
women  can  do  anything  men  can.”  Mr. 
Gazzem  :  “  Oh,  no.  The  auctioneer’s 
business  is  one  woman  cannot  go  into.” 
“  Nonsense.  She’d  make  every  bit  as 
good  an  auctioneer  as  a  man.”  “  Well, 
just  imagine  an  unmarried  woman  getting 
up  before  a  crowd  and  exclaiming:  ‘Now, 
gentlemen,  all  I  want  is  an  offer.’  ” — New 
York  Sun.
