A commen tator —The ordinary boiled one. 
A sliver in the bush is worth two in the 
hand. 
Mosquitoes are free from one vice at least. 
They can’t stand smoking. 
“What is a dude?” inquired one girl of an¬ 
other. "It is a delusion and a stare," was the 
response, as they passed one on the corner. 
Persons afflicted with diphtheria may con¬ 
sole tbemselvas with the thought that they are 
not giraffes, and cannot have two yards of 
sore throat. 
A sewing machine agent, who was very ill, 
being told that he must pay the debt of nature, 
wanted to know if he couldn’t do it on the in¬ 
stallment plan. 
A wise exchange says "only one woman in 
a thousand can whistle.” This probably re¬ 
sults from the fact that so long as a woman 
can talk she doesn’t care to whistle. 
“I don’t think my religion will be any ob¬ 
stacle to our union,” he urged; “I am a spirit¬ 
ualist.” "I am afraid it will,” she replied. 
"Papa is a prohibitionist, you know.” 
At a clambake: “Don’t you like these 
clams, sonny? You don’t seem to be eating 
them very fast.” "Oh, yes; I’m very fond of 
them, only it’s very hard work getting off the 
pods. 
Minister: "My dear brethren, in this 
warm, oppressive weather, I can excuse a lit¬ 
tle drowsiness during my sermon, but I do 
wish you would try to keep awake while the

It is the fashion at New York to dine on the 
roofs of hotels and restaurants. Those made 
of tar paper must be rather indigestible. After 
a while they will be pitching their tents there. 
This desire to live high is what is ruining the 
country. 
Bv falling from a wagon, a Chinaman in 
California, whose life was insured for a large 
amount, was seriously hurt. There was some 
doubt as to his ever getting better; and at 
length one of his friends wrote to the insur¬ 
ance company: "Charley half dead; likee 
half money.” 
While the Union troops were marching 
through a Maryland town during Lee’s iuva 
sion some of the stragglers broke into a bakery, 
and as one of them issued forth, bearing a loaf 
of bread on his bayonet, an Irish soldier cried 
oht: "Liftinint! Liftiuiut! be jabers there 
goes a man wid the staff of life on the point 
of death.” 
Freddy went, to Sunday-school. He was 
in the infant class. One day his father said 
to him: "How is this, Freddy? You have been 
going to Sunday-school for some time and 
have never yet brought home a good ticket. 
1 am really ashamed of you,” "Papa,” said 
the culprit, "I—I’ll bring home a good ticket
