A paper has this advertisement:—“Two sis¬ 
ters want washing.” Thousands of brothers 
are iu the same predicament. 
“Pa,” asked Walter, “what is a Buddhist?” 
“A Buddhist, my son,” replied pa, “is a— 
—well—a sort of horticultural chap—you’ve 
heard of budding fruits, you know.” 
“My daughter,” said a pompous old gentle¬ 
man, <l you must uever listen to flatterers.” 
“But, papa,” said the young lady, “how can I 
tell that they are flatterersunless 1 listen!” 
They were in the wood gathering ferns for 
a book. Said he, looking things unutterable: 
“I wish I were a fern, Gussie.” “Why?” she 
asked. “Why—perhaps you—might—press 
me, too.” 
“Come here, my little Eddy,” said a gentle¬ 
man to a youngster of seven years of age, 
while sitting in a room where a large company 
were assembled: “do you know me:’’ “Yes, 
sir, 1 think I do.” “Who am 1, then? let me 
hear.” “You are the man who kissed Atigeiina 
last night in the drawing-room.” 
“How jaded your horse looks, cabman," 
remarked an old lady as she offered her fare. 
“Is not the bit uncomfortably large for his 
mouth?” “It isn’t the big bit in his mouth, 
mum; it’s the small bit in bis stomach,” and, 
looking at the tendered shilling, "it doesn t 
seem as if it’ll get much larger.”
