“Man wants but little here below /’’ 
The statement causes mirth — 
It must have been, in early time — 
For now he wants the earth. 
—Baltimore Examiner. 
There is one crop that never fails. It be¬ 
longs to the chicken.— Toronto Empire. 
People who are fond of eggs take more in¬ 
terest in the hen's than in the poet’s lay.— 
Boston Courier. 
The man who wants to get ahead of time 
when going for a train should use the spur of 
the moment. —Boston Courier. 
You may salt, you may season the cucum¬ 
ber if you will, but the old gripe prerogatives 
will cling to it still.— Bradford Republican. 
“I told you, dear,” said the cannibal’s wife, 
“ not to eat that man. He was too green, and 
now you’ve got the morbus again.” —West 
Haven Budget. 
Augustus: “Do you object to ‘the weed,' 
Bella?” Countrj r Cousin: “No; but pap does. 
He’s at ’em with a hoe, early and late.”— Ag¬ 
ricultural Epitomist. 
A fashionable dressmaker has received an 
order for a gown with “one of them vesti¬ 
bule-trains that are talked of so much in the 
papers.” —Town Topics. 
“ I was badly bitten by flies in every coun¬ 
try in Europe except Belgium.” “ Have they 
none there?” “ I don’t know. I didn’t go 
there."—Harper's Bazar. 
Denver has a paper called the Frog, but 
the publisher will have toad-mit that the pros¬ 
pects of his frog jumping into a large cireula 
tion are rather discouraging— Norristown 
Herald. 
A Got)D Reason. —Mamma: “Howard, 
are jou going to take part m the tree-plant¬ 
ing at school on Arbor Day?” Howard (em¬ 
phatically): “No, I hain’t; there’s enough 
switches growin’ round our school now.”— 
Fuck. 
Just as the spring-poet timidly opened the 
sanctum, the telegraph-editor, who was filling 
in a dispatch, said to the chief: “Shall I put 
a big head on it ?” Then the building shook as 
the spring-poet hastened down-stairs.—Bar- 
lington Free Press. 
One day Ray and Ernest were playing to¬ 
gether, and as they occasionally quarreled, 
their mother said: “If you are naughty 
again, I shall separate you.” In a little while 
Ernest called: “Mamma, please come and 
separate Ray, he’s naughty.”— Youth's Com¬ 
panion. 
The darkey’s heart is light and glad; no 
longer he is feeling sad. The watermelon 
now is here; the canteloupe is on its ear; the 
peanut lifts its voice on high, so why should 
colored folks still sigh? The white ones, too, 
are full of glee, for you can bet they love all 
three.— The American. 
“What is wonderful about you?” asked 
the visitor to the museum. “ Can you crush 
a cart-wheel between your thumb and fore¬ 
finger or make your chest big enough to hold 
the crown jewels of England?” “ No. I’m 
the clergyman who hasn’t preached a sermon 
on ‘ Robert E Ism ere.' ”— New York Sun. 
“Are you the girl who was to come to our 
house as a nurse?” asked a fashionable lady 
of the healthy-looking girl who had just en¬ 
tered the room. “I am ma’am.” “1 have 
examined your references, and I find them 
satisfactory. You may begin next week.” 
“ But, if ye plaze, ma’am, I’d like to ask yez 
wan question.” “ What is it?” “ Is it a baby 
or a poog dog that I’m to look afther?”— Mer¬ 
chant Traveler.

The man who has invested from three 
to five dollars in a Rubber Coat, and 
at his first half hour's experience in 
a storm finds to his sorrow that it is 
hardly a better protection than a mos¬ 
quito netting, not only feels chagrined 
at being so badly taken in, but also 
feels if he does not look exactly like
