“There,” said Jones, triumphantly holding 
up his egg at the breakfast table, “I was al¬ 
ways told I wanted chic, and now I’ve got It.” 
A smile perambulated the table, as a matter 
of course, and the young man who is study¬ 
ing French laughed immoderately after the 
joke had beeu thoroughly explained to him.— 
Poultry World. 
Madame DeV, is looking over her linen. 
“Why, Flo,” she says to the lauudrymaid, 
“how is it you have not marked all my pocket 
handkerchiefs with my initials?* “I have 
done so, madam: I stitched the letters of your 
name on the first handkerchief and marked 
all the others ‘ditto .’”—Town and Country. 
Mrs. Greene: “Timothy, what have you 
done with the letter that was lying on (he 
bureau?” Timothy: “1 put it into the letter¬ 
box, ma’m.” Mrs. G. : “Oh! provoking! 
Didn’t you see there was no address on the 
envelope?” Timothy: “Yes, mam; but I 
thought you didn’t want nobody to know who 
you was writin’ to."— Life. 
There is a little three-year-old tot, whose 
parents live in Fond du Lac, Wis., who is of 
a very reflective nature. Not long ago, in 
company with her mother, she was passing a 
police station. The door was open and two 
policemen were seeu around a dirty, drunken 
man who lay on the floor in a drunken stupor. 
The little one was very much impressed by 
the scene, and she asked her mother why the 
man was lying there. She was told he was 
druuk. That night she was very uneasy in 
her sleep, and after a few hours of restless 
tossing, she gave a long sigh and muttered 
slowly aud determinedly; “I will never 
get dwunk as long as I live.”
