Cornerstone Laying. The ceremony of laying the corner stone of the new Masonic Temple, Peachtree and Cain streets, will take TOO LITERAL BUTLER. A few days ago one of Philadelphia’s prominent society women told her but ler to tell all visitors that she was not at home. At night, when enumerating the persons who had called during the day, he mentioned the lady’s sister, when his mistress exclaimed: “I told you, man, that I was always at home for my sister! You ought to have shown her In.” Next day the lady went out to make a few calls, and during her absence her sister came to the house.' “Is your mistress at home?” she naked the butler. “Yes, madam," was the reply. The lady went upstairs and looked everywhere for her sister. On coming downstairs she said to the butler: “My slater must have gone out, for I can not And her.” “Yes. madam, she has gone out, but ahe told me last night that she was always at home to you.”—Philadelphia Record. HYPOTHETICAL. “Miss De Smythe," began the young man, ”1 want to ask you a hypothetical question.” The girl nodded assent. “If a young man of good family and sound health and an assured Income, of $5,000~were to meet the most charming of girls and feed her Ice cream for a year; If she had a complexion like a rose, hair a crown of golden glory, the hand of a fairy, the bearing of a queen; if she knew how* not to play the piano, how to Induce her small brother to ab sent himself; was versed in cooking, competent to superintend a home, and if the young man auspiciously catching the girl alone were to murmur Into her ear of pearl, ‘Will you marry me?’ what, In your estimation, would be her condi tion of mind, and what her answer?" “While not an expert alienist," re sponded the girl coyly, “I think she’d believe him a chump foe fceing so slow, but she’d say *ye8.’ “ With the preliminaries thus settled, the naming of the day was a simple matter.—Philadelphia Ledger.

HE WAS FORTIFIED. Professor Masson, of Edinburgh, au thor of a compendious life of Milton, was once exasperated by tho listless ness of a student In one of his classes. After bearing long In srlence the young man’s inattention, the professor one day broke off In, the midst of his lec ture and addressed himself to the stu dent. “May I ask you, sir,” said he, “whether you expect to pass this course?*’ 'Thave hopes, sir,” answered the student. “Then when the examina tion comes, sir, you will wish for notea on these lectures. What will you do for them?” "I have my father’s, sir," was the reply.—The Bellman. HAD TOO MANY TRICKS. The Irishman wanted to sell the dog, but the prospective buyer was sus picious and finally decided not to -l>uy. The man then told him why he was so anxious to sell. “You see,” he said, “I bought the dog and trained him myself. I got him ao he’d hark ull the time If a person stepped inside the gate, and I thought I was safe from burglars. Then my wife wanted me to train him to carry bun dles, and I- did. If I put a packet in his mouth the dog would keep It there till someone took it away. Well, one night I woke up and heard someone In tho next room. I got up and grabbed my gun. They were there—three of tho scoundrels and the dog." “Didn't he bark?” Interrupted the man. “Narry a bark; he was too busy." “Busy? What doing?" “Carrying a lantern for the burg lars.”—Dublin Freeman.
