“It Is a mistake,” said the president
of the New York Walters’ club, “to
think that an Englishman always
wants his beef excessively rare. As a
matter of fact, the English like their
beef better done than we do. I once
saw a waiter,” he continued, “serve an
English duke with a cut of very, very
rare sirloin. The duke looked closely
at the slice of bright red meat Then
he said:
“ ‘Waiter, just send for the butcher,
will you?’
" ‘The butcher, sir?’ the waiter stam¬
mered. beef
“ ‘Yes,’ said the duke. ‘This
doesn’t seem to be quite dead yet.’ ”
Charlotte Bronte's Last Tribute.
“He will not separate us we have
been so happy!” These were the last
words of Charlotte Bronte when, ha\
ing become Mrs. Nicholls and having
lived with her husband only nine
■ months, death came to snatch the cup
of domestic felicity from the lips of
the happy pair. A low. wandering de
lirium came on. Wakening for an In¬
stant from this stupor, she saw her
husband’s woe worn face and caught
the sound, of some murmured words 1 |
Of prayer that God would spare her.

love, dead, alone, forever.

Farmer (to medical man)—If you get

Suggested by a Lady.
^Let me have five two-cent stamps,
please,” said a lady to the polite young
man behind the counter in the post¬
offlce
“Yessum,” he said, handing them
out.
“Can’t you let me have them in one
piece?” she added.
‘“Certainly, ma’am,” said the young
man. “Can I send them home for
»
“Oh, no; I don’t live far away, and
I am going straight home. I wouldn’t
put you to the trouble.”
“No trouble at all,” said the polite
nfhcial. “I haven’t very much to do
today, and I could easily spare an
hour.”
“Very much obliged,” said the lady,
^ smiling sweetly. “Dear me,” she add

soon as she sees him she runs off.
He follows like Hippomenes after Ata
lanta. But instead of obstacles being
thrown ln the way of the bride they
are thrown across the path of the
bridegroom. The pursuing groom falls
over old women, chairs, tables, stones
and fishing rods or is tripped up by
ropes. Only when it is feared he
might give up and sulk and go away
without the fleeting lady is be permit¬
ted to overtake her. Then as she falls
into his outstretched arms it may be
imagined she utters some equivalent
of “This is so sudden!”
Clog Almanacs.
In early times ln England the people
used what were called clog almanacs,
which remained in use till the begin¬
ning of the eighteenth century. An old
writer thus describes them:
“This almanac is usually a square
piece of wood containing three months
on each of the four edges. The number
of days in them are expressed by
notches, the first day by a notch with
a patulous stroke turned up from it
and every seventh by a large sized
notch. Over against many of the notch¬
es arc placed on the left baud several
marks or symbols denoting the golden
number or cycle of the moon. The fes¬
tivals are marked by symbols of the
several saints issuing from the
notches."

Here is a sample of the “breaks”
that diguilied, abnormally self appre¬
ciative men sometimes make when
they undertake . to , be , facetious . .. and ,
“tahi down” to a younger generation.
A certain physician who has seen
more than one family experience the
standard ailments through three gen¬
erations was recently called, to attend
a woman who has employed him w'hen
in need of a physician for the last
twenty-five years. On this particular
visit he closed her mouth oa a clinical
thermometer and strolled around the
room while it was doing its work.
Stopping before a picture of Rosa
Bouheur’s donkey, he remarked in a
would be funny manner to the daugh¬
ter of his patient. “I suppose this is
oue of your friends?”
“Yes, sir,” came the reply straight
from the shoulder; “it’s our family
physician.”—Boston Transcript.

For the Shipwrecked.
“There is no reason save ignorance
why shipwrecked sailors die In their
open boats of starvation.”
The speaker was a botanist.
“Let the-shipwrecked include a light
ngt in their luggage,” he said, “and let
them trail this net behind them as
they sail or row upon the sea’s surface.
Every few hours they can haul in and
take from it a meal of small shellfish
or other tiny sea fruit.
“Everywhere the sea’s surface teems
with animal and vegetable matter ca¬
pable of sustaining life.”—New Orleans
Times-Democrat.
To Relieve Burns.
For burns nothing is better than the
white of an egg beaten to a foam and
mixed with a teaspoonfnl of lard.
Five drops of carbolic acid make it
better.
A dressing that will prevent scarring
and give immediate relief is one dram
of bismuth subnitrate to an ounce of
vaseline, with five drops of carbolic
acid. Before applying this, wash the
surface with a solution of one dram
of common soda to a pint of water.
Squeeze this from a cloth upon the
burn, then apply the dressing.
An Anomalous One.
“Pop, wot’s an anomaly?”
“An anomaly," answered the chauf¬
feur, “is a man who keeps an automo¬
bile without kicking about the cost of
repairs.” — New Orleans Times-Demo
