jpgt ||mnltr FISH BAIT. Napkins at some hotels are now folded in the shape of a goose. The idea is to make guests who fee the waiteis feel at home.— Boston Star. An exchange is informing the public “Why we eat raw oysters.” We al ways supposed it was because wo liked them that way.— Bradford, Star. “I aim to tell the truth.” “Yes,” interrupted an acquaintance, “and you are probably the worst shot in Amer ica.”—Cincinnati Saturday Night. A local paper publishes a poem en titled “Why the Cows Came Late.” The cows probably came late because they had an engagement in somebody’s front yard.— Bradford Star. The fool howleth against his mother in-law and dieth of dyspepsia; the wise man sendeth tor her and she teacheth his darling little tootsy wootsy how to cook.— Boston Star. It would take about 1,250,000 earths to make a body as large as the sun. The sun differs from many men that we know—it doesn’t want the earth.— Cincinnati Saturday Night. A St. Lonis man saw a painting of the enchanted palace with all the guards fast asleep and ejacnlated: “The house is pretty old fashioned but the police men look natural.”— Boston Star. A Pawnee Indian always ask $125 for his pony, and always comes down to seven dollars and a plug of tobacco before any “dicker” is affected. Very eccentric, those Pawnees. — Chicago Eye. Because an irate wife couldn’t have all the money she wanted, she threat ened to “soak” her diamonds, and her brute of a husband told her she had better go soak her head.— Cincinnati Saturday Night. One of the sweetest looking girls in the State of Missouri dislocated her shoulder the other day by kicking at a cat. Missouri girls can kick higher than any other brand of girls that we know of.— Chicago Eye. An express company in New York refused to surrender a corpse until the express charges were paid. Such an offence was certainly rank, and was liable to “smell to heaven”—and else where.—Norristown Herald. Having surrendered his pistol to the Governor and not having obtained any new one, Frank James is doubly enti tled to distinction. He is now we be lieve the only man in Missouri who don’t go armed.— Boston Star. An advertisement in a Philadelphia paper says: “Bi-Centennial bunting by the yard.” But who wants to buy Centennial bunting at this late day? We may be dead before the next Cen tennial comes around.— Norristown Herald. “I pla by ere,” wrote a St. Louis belle to a Chicago professor, who im mediately wrote her, saying that he believed she also spelled that way. She says Chicago is a mean place and no respectable person would go there now.— Chicago Eye. Science is making rapid strides. A dog which has been “frozen to death” can now be restored to life by a simple process, and there is no telling but that it will yet be possible to revive a dog which has gone through a sausage cut ter.—Bradford Star. Talmage tried to stop Sunday ex cursions and now it looks as if the steamboat managers were retaliating by trying to stop Talmage. At all events someone has introduced an or diance in Brooklyn councils prohibit ing Sunday theatrical performances.— Boston Star. Frank James says he never killed a man unless he felt it was positively necessary. And he never felt that it was necessary unles the man demurred at the very reasonable request to deliver up his money, watch and other valua bles. Highwaymen are lied about, as well as the rest of us. — Norristown Herald. A clam covered with hair a quarter •f an inch in length was found a bar rel of oyster* at a restaurant in Read ing and the bystanders could not help remarking how much it looked like Oscar Wilde’s portrait. —Philadelphia News. Probably the poor, innocent little clam had been wading around in a dish of butter. —Oil City Blizzard. Are you much benefitted by your trip to the Hot Springs?” asked Gil hooly of an Austin hypochondriac, who goes off every summer for his health. “I don’t think I am benefitted much. lam benefitted a little by the Hot Springs, but there is so little improve ment in my health each year, that I will die of old age before I get my health back.” —Texas Siftings. A Busli of Brains to the Head. Boston Post. “Don’t carry on so,” said Mrs. Part ington to Ike, as she saw him resting his head on the ground in a vain at tempt to throw his heels into the air. There was solicitude in her tone, and a com broom in her hand, as she look ed at him. “You must not act so gymnastically, dear,” said she, “you’ll force all the brainß you’ve got into your head if you do. Yo can’t do like the circus riders, because Providence has made them o’ purpose for what they do, out of Ingee rubber, and it don’t hurt ’em at all. They ain’t got bones like other people, an’ can turn heels over head with impurity. Don’t do it," screamed she, as the boy stood on one leg on the wood horse, and made a feint as if to throw a summerset, “you’l desecrate your neck, by and by, with your nonsense, and you’ll regret it as long as yon live.” Ike desisted, aB the dame smiled and held a circnlar piece of copper before his gaze; such potencep had that smile over him, back ed by the copper.
