Missed the Towpath.
There was a little girl five years old
or so living iu an inland town up the
state. Near her home there was no
Ivor nor, iu fact, any water but the
2rle canal.
The child's mother made a visit to
New York and on her return was tell
ing of her trip down the bay and of
bow wonderful the sea had looked to
her. Her little girl was listening
agorly.
“Tell me just what the sea is like,
mamma.” she said.
Iler mother made an effort.
"There’s the bench." she sakl, “all
smooth white sand. You stand on It
ml look out over the ocean, and all
you can see is water, Just moving wa
ter, waves coming In and breaking-
nothing but water and sky."
The child sat trying to picture it.
then in an awed little whisper asked:
“Oh. mamma, isn't there a tow-
path?"—New York Times.

Little Mamie Rose Rose.
"It doesn’t take these little Russian
blldreu long to catch on to tilings in
Ibis country." remarked a teacher of
the Educational alliance. “When one
explains a word to them they never
forget it. and they are always ready
with an illustration of its meaning
too. 1 remember that some time ago
1 had explained to the class the mean
ing of the word ’ambiguity.’ and then.
the custom is. I turned about and
made them explain the word to me.
•Now, is there any one,’ 1 asked,
•who can give me an illustration?'
“A grimy little urchin at the back
of the room stuck up bis band.
•“Here’s a ambiguity fer ye,’ he
tried. ‘Little Mamie Rose sat on a
tack—little Mamie Rose. See?'
“Oh. no." concluded the teacher, “yon
don’t have to explain a thing to the
east side child twice.”—New York Sun.
The Whirling Dervishes.
Those spirits on ttio hunt for "sensa
tions" In Constantinople will wish to
“take in” the dervishes. The whirling
clan have a convenient convent on the
Grand Rue, where their circumnaviga
tions may lie witnessed nt 7:30 o’clock,
on Friday evening for the admission of
10 cents. This well'd performance |ier-
sonilies the solar system and is exactly
ordered In all Its phases. After pre
liminary circuits of the ring In single
file to the discordant accompaniment
of flute and tambourine the robed and
turbaned dervishes commence their
turning. With arms outstretched, the
right palm upward to beseech bless
ings, the left depressed to signify mer
cy bestowed, the bead is bent upon the
right shoulder. The rapid revolving
upon the right hoe! is effected by em
ploying the left toes as motive power.
As the circling accelerates, the long
white skirts dilate until they stand out
stiff after the manner of the attenuated
garment of the premiere dauseuse.
Very little space is allotted to each
priest, and it seems strange that there
aro no collisions. The dance ceases In
an hour or so with the men exhausted.

The Lady and Her Dog.
There are any number of men who
would ask who you were talking to if
you hinted that they were not absolute
ly masters in their own establishments,
yet these very men are often the slaves
of their dogs. By the way. unless you
really want to make her your sworn
foe, don’t, whatever else you may say
or do. speak disparagingly of n lady’s
dog. even if it is the most unholy mon
grel that ever wagged a tail.—Fry’s
Magazine.
Conundrums.
Why is n girl’s belt like a scavenger?
Because It goes round and gathers up
the waist (waste).
Why is an Ion like a cemetery? It Is
a resting place for travelers.
Why is an old umbrella that has
been lost und found as good as a new
one? Because It is recovered.
What Is that which has many leaves,
hut no stem? A book.
Why aro blushes like little girls?
They become women.
What Is the difference between char
ity and a tailor? One covers a multi
tude of sins, the other a multitude of
sinners.
Whnt is that which a rich man
wents, a poor man has, a miser spends,
a spendthrift saves and we all take
with us to the grave? Nothing.—Phil
adelphia Ledger.

Boys’ Use of Barometers.
Every English schoolboy who can
afford It has a barometer that he
keeps hidden under hls bed or in hls
trunk, for iu all English schools ba
rometers are strictly forbidden to the
pupils. Why should they he forbid
den? Why should they be desired?
Through the autumn and winter the
English schoolboy plays football every
afternoon, weather permitting. lie
must play two hours each clear day.
Those two hours are taken *>ff Ills rec
itations. They make hls school tasks
two hours lighter; hence when he
knows beforehand that the next day
will be clear he may spare himself
two hours of useless study the night
before. Hls barometer pointing to
“fine” saves him a lot of toll. But
when the instrument points to
“change” then the schoolboy knows
that there will lie no football. Thus
a boy with a barometer has a big ad
vantage. He often sells weather pre
dictions nt a penny apiece.—Phllndel
phia Bulletin.
