A CONSIDERATE MAN. 
At a grand battue, just as tbc day’s sport haB 
begun, an unhappy hunter blows off a sufljoicncy 
of the h(-i«l of his companion on the right. The 
wounded man dies without a cry, and I lie hunter, 
as no one has noticed the accident, silently inters 
him and reloads. 
At dark the company rc-asscmbles at the given 
rendezvous. Smith is missing. 
“ Whore is .Smith ?’’ is the cry. 
“Oh, I killed Smith accidentally,” remarks the 
murderer : “you will Hud most of him uuder the 
big beech tree yonder.'’ 
General stupefaction, and the slayer of Smith 
is fervently censured for not having sooner given 
notice that help might have boon extended to 
the wounded man. 
“Of course I might have done bo,” he protests, 
“ but I didn’t want to spoil your day s fun.”

SPARKS AND SPLINTERS. 
One of the advantages of being a Welshman is 
to know how r to pronounce “ cwmtillory.” 
There is.rnuch in a name. If you should give 
the telephone a spiritualistic title nobody would 
believe liis own ears. 
Little Johnny is quite sure the pictnre of a 
Spitz dog he drew on the parlor wall was good, 
because it made ills father mad. 
It is estimated that the number of ladies who 
cauuot pass a mirror without glancing into it, 
averages about twelve to every dozen. 
When the Governor of a Persian Province re¬ 
tired from office the authorities beat the solos of 
his feet until he disgorged $200,000 of his ill- 
gotten wealth. That would fail over hero owing 
to the lack of soul. 
Two acquaintances met on a wot day, one 
greeted the other with, “Beautiful rain, this! 
fetch things out of the ground!” Socond friend 
(disconsolately)—"Hope not, sir—hope not; got 
two wives there, sir!" 
Old Mrs. Simplcigh read that it cost $50,000 to 
move “Cleopatra’s needle” from Egypt to Lon¬ 
don, and now sliu would like to know about how 
much it would cost to move Cleopatra’s sewing 
machine the same distance. 
Terribly sarcastic fathor : “Now I must bid 
you good night, Mr. John, for I have an engage¬ 
ment. But Bay, why don’t you stop and take 
breakfast with us some morning; you always go 
away an hour or two before it. is ready.” 
“Home’s the place for boys,” Haul a stern 
parent to bis son. who was fond of goiug out at 
night. 
“ That’s just what I think when you drive me 
off to school every morning,” said the son. 
A man may believe that the great American 
Bocial and political fabric rests on four great 
Ordinances divinely revealed to man at the 
creation, hut the moment that he slips up ou the 
ice, and comes kor-chuuck ou the back of liis 
head ho will cuss. 
“Before we wore married, ” said he to a friend, 
“she used to say ‘ by-by ’ so sweetly when I went 
down the Btops." “Aud now what does she 
say ?" asked the friend.” “ Oh ! just the same,” 
exclaimed the man—buy buy." Ah! I see," 
said the other: “ slio only exercises a little dif¬ 
ferent spell over you.” 
Two Chinamen were arrested the other day, 
iu Hartford, for assault on each other. They 
were held until Friday morning and discharged, 
as it was utterly impossible to understand them 
or make them understand English. One said, 
“ We all like Molicau man, shurteo hair, dresso, 
booLoe, get drunk, make noise, much fun.” 
A lady met a little country boy ono morning, 
and said, “ Well, Johnny, how's your mother?” 
“She is well.” 
‘ ‘ And your father ?" 
“ He’s well too.” 
“ Now Jolmny, how’s your parents?” 
“ Ain’t got no parents, aud my name ain’t 
Johnny.’' 
A juryman was summonod at a County Court. 
After replying satisfactorily to the several ques¬ 
tions propounded by the solicitor, ho was ac¬ 
cepted, aud, in the usual way, commanded to 
look upon the prisoner. After seauning tho man 
closely, tho unprejudiced juror turned to tho 
Judge, and iu a firm, solemn voice, said, “Yes, 
I think he’s guilty.” 
A Rhode Island man recently told his son to 
cut a hole in the bam so that the oat could go iu 
aud out, the barn being infested with mice. The 
boy did so, locating it just where the barndoor 
when open, would cover tho hole. “How iu 
thunder is tho cat to got into tho bam when tho 
hole is covered?” asked the provoked father. 
“Why, through tho door of course,” replied the 
son. The parent suddenly remembered that he 
wanted something from the house, and went in 
after it.
