times, in moments of enthusiasm or un¬ 
usual energy, I do lay an egg with a 
double yolk.” Pallet: “Well, madam, 
as the representative of the Egg-Layers’ 
Union, I want to tell you that your 
energy is misdirected and your enthu¬ 
siasm is uncalled for ; and if you oflEend 
again you will hear from us unpleas¬ 
antly. Good morning.”— Detroit Free 
Fress.

replied the lady. “ I always pick some 
of these long, silky auburn hairs off my 
husband’s coat when he has been to the 
lodge meeting, and I thought Pd like to 
see such a queer animal.” “Quare. 
mum?” said the shrewd Pat. “He is 
that, mum. The color o’ an Irish setter, 
mum. But, shure, the baste is sick to¬ 
day.”— New York Recorder.
