Microscopist  :  “  Did  you  ever  look  at 
a  thousand-dollar  bill  through  a  micro- 
serope?”  Impecunious  Friend:  “No; 
always  used  a  telescope.” — Chicago  Neim. 
Agent:  “Here,  sir,  is  a  book  that

receipt  for  everything,  sir — everthing.”

Mrs.  Suburb  (joyously)  :  “  My  dear, 
I  succeeded  in  getting  a  servant  girl  at 
last.  Go  to  the  kitchen  and  kiss  her.” 
Mr.  Suburb:  “Kiss  her?”  Mrs.  Suburb: 
“Certainly.  I  had  to  promise  that  she 
should  be  treated  as  one  of  the  family.” 
New  York  Weekly. 
“  Drowning,  dear,”  said  Mrs.  Emerson, 
of  Boston,  to  her  husband,  “  what  is  a 
cutaneous  pastime?”  “A  cutaneous 
pastime,  love  ?  I  never  heard  of  such  a 
thing.”  “  Well,  I  heard  two  men  on  the 
street  car  talking,  and  one  of  them  spoke 
of  a  skin  game.” — Judge. 
Mistress  (finding  visitor  in  kitchen)  : 
“  Who  is  this,  Mary  ?”  Mary  (confused)  : 
“  My  b-hrother,  m’m.”  Mistress  (suspic¬ 
iously)  :  “  You’re  not  much  alike.”  Mary 
(stammering  apologetically)  :  “We  were 
m’m,  but  he’s  just  had  his  heard  shaved 
off,  and  that  makes  him  look  different, 
m’m.” — Pick  Me  Up. 
Scientific  Item  :  ‘  ‘  When  I  grow  up  I 
will  be  a  man,  won’t  I?”  asked  a  little 
Harlem  boy  of  his  mother.  “  Yes,  my 
son.  If  you  want  to  he  a  man,  you  must 
he  industrious  at  school,  and  learn  how 
to  behave  yourself.”  “  Why,  ma,  do  lazy 
boys  turn  out  to  he  women  when  they 
grow  up  ?  ” — Texas  Siftings. 
Wee  Hostess  ;  “  Mamma,  shall  I  in¬ 
vite  Lucy  Littnay  to  my  party?”  Mamma: 
“  Certainly.  She  is  the  minister’s  daugh¬ 
ter.”  “  Do  ministers’  daughters  get  in¬ 
vited  every  where  ?  ”  “Always.”  “They 
has  lots  of  fun,  I  guess.  I  wish  my  papa 
was  a  minister  ’stead  of  a  mis’ahle  sin¬ 
ner.” — Good  News.
