HUMOROUS 
Little Miss Muflit 
She sat oil a tufflt, 
Ealing her curds and whey, 
'When along came a spider 
And sat down beside her. 
And Miss Muffit, who was from Boston, said, 
“Ah, here is a specimen of the Aranea, 
a Linnaean genus, divided not only 
into many genera, hut into many fam¬ 
ilies, and constituting a section 
(araneida) of the class arachnida, and 
order puimonaria.” 
Which frightened the spider away! 
—Ridgeway's. 
Vicar’s Wife (sympathetically) : “Now 
that you can’t get about, and arc not able 
to read, how do you manage to occupy 
the time?” Old Man: “Well, mum, some¬ 
times I sits and thinks, and then again I 
just sits.”—Punch. 
Foreigner: “Scientists agree that cli¬ 
mates are changing all over the globe. Is 
there not fear that the American climate 
mav change for the worse?” American 
(confidently) : “Oh, no, it couldn’t.”— 
New York Weekly. 
“You don’t have any of these rambling 
old farm houses in Kansas,” said the New 
England man. “No,” responded the west¬ 
ern visitor, “when our houses get ready 
to go anywhere they haven’t time to ram¬ 
ble.”—Louisville Courier-Journal. 
“What’s the matter, my little man?” 
asked the kindly old gentleman. “You 
seem to be in great pain.” “G’on! Yer 
mixed,” groaned the little boy. “1 ain’t 
in no great pain, but dey’s a great pain 
in me, all right.”—Philadelphia Press. 
Mrs. Upmore: “Yes, she is a wonder¬ 
fully talented woman. I wish 1 had her 
vocabulary.” Mrs. Suddyn-Klymer: “It’s 
certainlv a fine one—but it broke down 
with her the other day, miles and miles 
from anvwhere, and it cost her $15 to 
have it hauled to the nearest repair shop.” 
—Chicago Tribune. 
“Listen to this, Maria,” said Mr. Stubb 
as he unfolded his scientific paper. “This

Potash, which must be re¬ 
newed in the soil if the yield 
of the vines is to be kept up. 
Potash
