The French call tomatoes “ Love Apples’’ 
which shows exactly how much they know of 
the subject. Love is more frequently found 
in paii-s than apples.—Judge. 
A little girl, in coming home from a party, 
told her mother she was so happy she couldn’t 
be any happier unless she was bigger, 
A Londoner one day by accident saw the 
suu. “ ’Eavens,” said he, ’ow they ’ave liim- 
proved that there ’lectric light.” After a 
moment’s pause, during which he gazed on the 
novel sight, he added reflectively; “But 
ow in thunder did they get ’in up so ’igh?” 
“ Ah I I’ru saddest when I sing,” 
She sang in plaintive key, 
And all the neighbors yelled— 
“So are we! So are we!” 
A small boy went to see his grandmother. 
After looking eagerly round the handsomely 
furnished room where he sat, he exclaimed, 
inquiringly, “ Oh, grandma, where is the mis¬ 
erable table papa says you keep? 
Scene; Bridal reception. Several of the 
guests, after shaking hands with the bride, 
and all speaking at the same time: “Where 
is the bridgrooin?” Bride, naively—“Oh, he’s 
b] stairs watching the wedding presents.” 
A little girl recently went to visit her 
grand-father in the country. She is fond of 
milk, but firmly refused to drink any while 
there, without giving any reason. When she 
returned she was asked, “ You had nice milk 
thereto drink, didn’t you?” “ I guess I didn’t 
drink any of that milk,” she indignantly re¬ 
plied. “Do you know where grandpa got it? 
1 saw him squeeze it out of an old cow?” 
Mrs. Smith, triumphantly. “The hand 
that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the 
world.” Mr. Smith, cynically, “ Yes, indeed 
my dear; and that’s just why the world is so 
deuced badly governed.” 
" You mustn’t touch the top of the baby’s 
head,” said a mother to her little four-year-old; 
“ she has a soft spot there that is very tender.” 
The youngster gazed at it curiously for a 
moment, and then asked, “ Do all babies have 
soft spots on their heads?” “Yes.” “Did 
papa have a soft spot on the top of his head 
when he was a baby?” “ Yes,” replied the 
mother with a sigh, “and lie has got it yet.” 
Aud the old man, who had overheard the con¬ 
versation from an adjoining room, sang out: 
“ Yes, indeed he has, my dear boy, or he 
would be a single man to-day.” 
“Business all the time Wadder Jenkins” said 
an Ohio farmer, as he bustled into her house 
one morning, “ I am a man of business, I’m 
worth $10,000 and want you for a wife. I 
give you three minutes in which to ausw T er.’’ 
“I don’t want 10 seconds, old man!”she re¬ 
plied, as she shook out the dish cloth ; “I’m a 
woman of business, worth $16,000, aud wouldn’t 
marry you if you were the last man on earth! 
I give you a minute and a half to git!” He 
got. 
A bad woman upbraided her husband with 
his love of money, and she said that she be¬ 
lieved if she was to die that he would marry 
the devil’s eldest daughter if he could have 
plenty of money with her. “That maybe,” 
answered her husband; “but the worst of it 
is, a man dare not marry two sisters 4 ” 
“ Dearest,” said a sick wife fondly to her 
husband, “if I should die, X wonder if you 
would marry again?” “No, indeed,” was 
the prompt reply. “ I tried it once, and that’s 
enough for me." She was so angry that she 
recovered almost immediately. 
A tramp applied to a citizen of Austin for 
a nickel to buy a loaf of bread. “Cau’t you 
go into any business that is more profitable 
than this?” I’d like to open a bank if I only 
could got the tools,” was the candid reply. 
“Now 4 ,” my dears, you must do as the Ro¬ 
mans do," said old man Scroggins to his 
daughters, on their arrival in Italy. Aud the 
first thing they saw was a boy trying to 
stand on his head iu the corner of a railway 
station. 
A Chicago young man, in a rash moment, 
told his girl that if she would hang up her 
stocking on Christmas Eve he would till it to 
the brim with something nice. When he saw 
her stocking he was undecided whether to get 
into it himself or buy her a sewing-machine. 
A lady had in her employ an excellent 
girl who had one fault—her face was always 
iu a smudge. Mrs-tried to tell her to 
wash her face without offending her; and at 
last she resorted to strategy. “ Do you know, 
Bridget,” she remarked, in a confidential man¬ 
ner, “ that if you wash the face eveiy day in 
hot, soapy water, it will make you beautiful?” 
“Shure, it’s a wonder ye nivfflr tried it, ma am. 
o adopt It as a family necessity.
