PERKINS WINDMILL 
WAS THE FIRST 
A YOUNG man who didn’t like the color of 
his hair wrote to a chemist asking, “ What is 
the best dying receipt ?” The chemist wrote 
back, “ Fool with a loaded gun.’’ 
A Scotch packman, having paid some 
fruitless visits to one of his customers, called 
a few days ago for au installment of his debt. 
But the customer told her son, a lad of five 
years, to say she was “ in the toon.” Accord¬ 
ingly, when the packman called and asked, 
“ Where is your mother the day?” the boy 
promptly replied. “In the toon?” “What 
toon *” asked the peddler. The boy having 
no further instructions from his mother, went 
to the next room and shouted, “ Mitlier, 
what toon are ye at ? He wants to ken !”— 
Weekly Free Press. 
Grammarians are puzzled over the question 
whether “ mumps” and “ ineasels” are singu¬ 
lar or plural. They often look singular, but 
that is no criterion on a question of this kind. 
An Iowa editor thus acknowledged a present 
of grapes: “We have received a basket of 
fine grapes from our friend W., for which he 
will accept our compliments, some of which 
are nearly two inches iu diameter.”—Cincin¬
