SAFE FAMILY REMEDY.

A soldier said he never knew what it was 
to “break ranks” until he fell into a basket of 
bad eggs. 
“Adieu,” she said sweetly, as he kissed her 
good night. “He’s adieu’d, aint he?” sung out 
her little brother as he vanished up stairs. 
Ethel, having put on a lady’s bonnet and 
surveyed herself before the mirror, thus ad¬ 
dressed herself: “Oh, ain’t you a ‘boss 
woman I” 
Another cold wave, said the young man 
when his two sisters and three cousins stand¬ 
ing in front of an ice cream saloon beckoned 
him to come over. 
“ON what grounds do you leave me without 
a customary week's notice?” indignantly 
asked a boarding-house mistress of a leaving 
boarder. “Coffee grounds, mum, coffee 
grounds,” he tartly replied. 
A citv girl saw a hen preparing to gather 
her chickens under her wings and shouted ex¬ 
citedly: “Ohl don’t sit down on those beauti¬ 
ful little birds, you great, ugly old rooster 1” 
“What are chilled plows, papa?’’ asked 
the little son of an agricultural professor. 
“Oh, my son,” was the wise reply, “they are 
plows which have stood out in furrow all 
winter.” 
Clara (looking at the bonnets, etc.): “Don’t 
you think they are handsome?” Amy (whose 
thoughts are on the other side of the street): 
“Very, ’specially the one with the black mus¬ 
tache.” 
A little girl was walking on the street the 
other day, when she saw a very bowlegged 
man with a short coat on. “Oh, ma!” she 
cried, “there’s a man with a tunnel un¬ 
der him.”

A little girl’s father sang in a church 
choir in Boston. Upon attending church here 
she noticed that the singers’ seats were in the 
rear gallery. She inquired: “Does my papa 
sit in the attic and sing, same as they do 
here?”
