It is the queen. Aunt Julia is courtesying

A wood-eutter was at work in concert
with his son, while his little grnndrhild
played near him. The old man accidentally

sufferer called his father a blind old fool.
‘You son of a dog'.” cried the little boy,
‘how dare yon abuse your father!"
The following is told of an incorrigibly
idle tffspring of n literary father: A young
ster, having a great disinclination to study,
was shut up in a closet with strict injunc
tions to apply himself. Stealing near, the
parent, to his delight, henrd his boy dron-
ng over bis book, and was presently still
more pleased by hearing the snpixised stu
dent exclaim: “I understand it. The ex
cited father rushed in, crying ont; “1 am
proud, my son, that yeti have at last mas
tered that work.” "Yes,” said the boy, “I
always thought books were writteD, bnt to
day I have discovered thatthay are printed.”

monstrated with him for shouting so loud
about hiding his hoe. “I am certain," said
she, “the neighbors have heard you, and
someone has already stolen it.” Struck
with the remark, the man returned to the
field, and, sure enough, the hoe was gone.

The following impromytn. though subse
quent on a fall, cannot be looked on as the
outcome of a deficient understanding. A
man stumbled nnd fell. Try ng to rise, he
again fell. "Hang it, he cried, “if I had
known I was to foil again I wonld not have
tried to get up.”
A woman was fanning the corpse of her
lniBband, and being asked by the neighbors
why she fanned a dead man in the middle
of winter, she replied: “Mv husband's last
words were, ‘Wife, wait till lorn cold before
you marry again.’"
The feminine propensity for concealing
age and resenting impertinent queatione in
regard to it is common to all times and na
tionalities, bnt that does not detract from
onr admiration of the trick by which the
truth was got at in the following instance:
A man, newly married, thought when his

—Were a stranger to pick ont the ablest
man in the Senate, judging from physical
presence,” says a correspondent of the Bos
ton Herald, “he would be apt to point to
Senator Dolph of Oregon, the Neptune in a
frock coat, so imperial and bo bearded, so
giant-like, colossal nnd 'impressive' that
one looks involuntarily for the trident of
the mythological personage. The wiseacres
will tell yon, however, that thongh an able-
bodied man, Senntor Dolph has yet to illus
trate the equality of mind and physique.”
—In personal appearance, Mr. Howella,
the distinguished author, is not the popular
ideal of the man who writes like a woman
about women. He is n trifle stont, a little
gray, and above his round, pleasant face he
wears his hair in a half middle part, finished
with the square bang. At one little party
given in his honor here a lady said: "Mr.
Howells, that wedding journey was really
my own. I think I wrote it, not you.
“Well, if yon did,"he replied, “all I've got
to say is that it's a very good story,"

Then Grace came, asking Mrs. Vernay
to write in her birthday liook. And the
bcanty inscribed "Lily Vernay" in a clear,
beautiful writing, matchless as herself.
Kenneth read it over Grace’s shoulder.
“Yonr name is Lilith," he said to Mrs. Ver
nay.
“Who told yon that?" she asked, and be
replied:
“l know it,” without offering any expla
nation.
“Lilith! horrid!" mnrmured Grace, as,
with Frauk, Mr*. Vernay moved toward the
piano.
“I think it pretty; why horrid?” Marie
asked.
“Do yon know abont Lilith?” her friend
replied. “She was Adam’s first wife, anil

her, and then strangles them in her golden
hair.**
“A tradition," said I, “something like the
legends of the Greek Lamia."
“How do yon know that there is not truth

Kenneth asked.

her face than at the mosie.
I confess that in those days I was vexed

It was over—breakfast, speeches and all
an-1 I was refreshing myself by a walk
near the sea.
A total stranger came np snd addressed
me, inquiring about thst morning's wed
ding lie appeared to have been a specta

asked the hridejs name.
‘fibe was u M fa. Vernay,” I replied.
•Ah," he soi-1, "I thought I knew her

May I ask when yon met her?"
In Ceylon.- bhe came ont as a bride-
after three weeks—’’ lie paused, but‘I
begged him to go on.
“It is an nntileastnt story," he said. "Her

They said one of tlie Byces had done it, hut
some thought Mr*. Vcrney eonld have ex

Kenneth and his wife enter as Croin a long

arose from the lamp, snd he tarred to race
her, stern and unyielding. Bhe threw her

never flinched: then vhe rose, changing into
a toll, thin, pale figure, with a death-like
face and hollow, gltaroiog oyes. Brill he
never faltered, and with a cry this being
