“ What Is the meaning of this throng 
In yonder clothing store? 
There surely must be something wrong— 
What are they gathered for?” 
“ The cause Is plain it seems to me,” 
Replied the passing wit, 
‘‘Some person in there, don’t you see, 
Is taken with a fit!” —Puck-. 
A person who serves us through fire aud 
water—the cook .—The Vineyardist. 
Children shrink from being washed. The 
same may be said of socks .—Yonkers States¬ 
men. 
A Machine for pressing hops has been in¬ 
vented. America is the home of the hop- 
pressed. —Texas Siftings. 
“ Must the churn go?” asks the New York 
Tribune. Why, of course it must if it is 
after butter .—The Empire. 
Why is a general housemaid like a boot? 
Because one is maid of all work and the other 
is also made of awl work .—Field and Farm. 
Lectures on North Pole are generally 
slow. The speaker does not seem able to 
warm up to the subject .—New Orleans 
Picayune. 
When a bald-headed man removes his hat 
to salute a lady, it does not remind one of a 
leafless branch, although its a naked bow.— 
Salem Standard.
