A French lady living In London engaged
a carpenter to do some work for
her at a stipulated price. She was surprised
later to find that he charged
more than the price agreed upon. When
she attempted to remonstrate with him,
However, her English failed her, and she
said, "You are dearer to me now than
when we were first engaged."
"More than five thousand elephants a
year go to make our piano keys," remarked
the student boarder who had
been reading scientific notes in a patent
medicine almanac. "For the land's
sake!" exclaimed the landlady. "Ain't
it wonderful what some animals can be
trained to do?"?Chicago News.
t "I thought the Agricultural Department
was run in the interest of the
farmer."
"Well, ain't it?"
"I wrote 'em for some literature to
help me get summer boarders, hut thev
had nothing of the kind in stock."?

Mother (viciously scrubbing her small
boy's face with soap and water)?Johnny,
didn't I tell you never to blacken your
face with burnt cork again? Here I have
been scrubbing half an hour and it won't
come ofT."
Boy (between" gulps)?I?uch! ain't

The Commons and the Pulpit.
The House otf Commons, as might
have been expected, has contributed u
fair share to a very amusing collection
of "bulls." It was in one of the debates
of that body that the late Col.
saunuerson described Eastern Rumeila
as "man enough to take her stand" In
defense of a certain threatened right.
An Irish M. P. once declared that of
the outrages reported from Ireland three
quarters were exaggerated and half haa
no foundation in fact?a statistical computation
that reminds one of another
Irish M. P. who declared excitedly to a
group of fellow members: "I want to
convince you that there isn't any truth
in half the lies they are telling about Ireland."
The biography of Dean Hook I
a certain minor canon who U3ed to preach
at the cathedral, when Hook was a boy
in Winchester school. In one of his
sermons there occurred the striking reflection
that vwhat is impossible can
never be, ami very seldom comes to
pass."
Another discourse was long remembered
for its pathetic lamentation on the
degeneracy of the age: "O temporal O
mores! What times we live In! Little
hoys and girls run about the streets cursing
and swearing before they can either
walk or talk!" But the Church of Ena
lan.l has no monopoly of these violent
contrasts, for it was at a City Temple
meeting not many years ago that a
speaker exclaimed: "I find my time Is
already gone. Therefore I wili keep within
it."?Windsor Magazino.
