“  That  novel  of  Hawley’s  is  perfect 
jnush,”  said  Criticus.  “  That’s  so,”  re¬ 
turned  Wa gg,  “  but  it’s  a  cereal  story.” — 
New  York  Sun. 
Maud  :  “  She  is  a  woman  who  has  suf¬ 
fered  a  great  deal  for  her  beliefs.” 
Ethel :  “  Dear  me  !  What  are  her  be¬ 
liefs  ?”  Maud:  “She  believes  she  can 
wear  a  No.  3  shoe  on  a  No.  6  foot,  and  a 
23-inch  corset  on  a  30-inch  waist.” — Satur¬ 
day  Gazette. 
Took  the  Wind  out  of  his  Sails. — 
Waggs  (to  young  matron  with  .the  per¬ 
ambulator):  “  Good  morning,  Mrs.  Full- 
bloom!  Are  you  taking  the  son  out  for 
an  airing,  or  the  heir  out  for  a  sunning?” 
Mrs.  Fullbloom  :  “  Neither,  Mr.  Waggs. 
Baby  is  a  girl.” — Life. 
“What  a  wonderful  thing  electric  light 
is.”  “  Yes,  it  is  wonderful.  I  expect 
after  awhile  it  will  be  used  to  make  the 
crops  grow  instead  of  the  sun.”  “There 
are  some  crops  that  now  thrive  by  elec¬ 
tric  light.”  “Nonsense!”  “No  nonsense 
about  it.  There  are  lots  of  young  men 
here  in  New  York  who  sow  most  of  their 
wild  oats  by  the  electric  light.” — Texas 
Siftings.
