Leitur*.
Leisure is an obsolete form of kill¬
ing time. It once existed in large
quantities. It Is now, bortever, a
thing of the past Leisure at one time
was used quite extensively to produce
statues, laws, legends, poems and oth¬
er masterpieces. Its place has now
been taken by labor saving devices
that turn out figures, franchises, gossip,
doggerel and other quick sellers. Will
leisure ever come in again? Not as
long Vs there are things to advertise.
wrltetny In the meantime we are too busy to
more about it.
I His Reason.
“1 desire to swear off my taxes,”
said the millionaire.
“Of course we understand that,”
suggested the official, “but it Is neces¬
sary to give some reason—merely as a
form, you know.”
“Why, it’s so much easier to swear
off than to pay them!” replied the mil¬
lionaire, somewhat bored.
The rest was the ^merest routine.—

Valuable Hair.
In BokUpra, where the finest and
most costly camel’s hair shawls are
made, the camels are watched while
the fine hair on the underpart of their
bodies is growing. It is so carefully
cut that not a hair is lost, and It is
stored until enough has been accumu¬
lated to spin. The yarn made from the
hair is of surpassing softness and is
dyed all sorts of lovely colors.—London

A Broken Pledge.
There used to be in Albany an eccen¬
tric characted named Pete, who pledg¬
ed himself to bo neither shaved nor
shorn until Stephen A. Douglas came
to the presidency. He lid not keep his
resolution, however. One day John
Morgan, a negro, who had acted as
barber for many governors and who
described himself on a sign over his
siiop door in Greene street as a “ton
sorlai operator and capillary abrldger,”
had a slip pasted on the mirror iu
front of his “operating chair’’ on which
he had written, “Douglas not elected,
but Pete’s hair Is off.”
A man very much intoxicated was
taken to the station.
“Why did you not find some one to
ball him out?” inquired a bystauder of
a friend,
“Bail" him out!” exclaimed the other.
“Why. you couldn’t pump him out!”—

War of the Three Petticoats.
A slighting reference by Frederick
the Great to Mme. Pompadour, who
was the ruling power In France for a
score of years In the days of Louis
XV., was -one Of the chief causes of the
Seven Years' wur, called by a witty
Frenchman the “war of the three petti¬
coats” from the fact that Mme. Pom¬
padour of France, Maria Theresa of
Austria and Catherine II. of Russia
were ou the same side iu it.
Grim Humor.
The following was told by the grand¬
daughter of an old lady who lived in
one of the southern states and had
been known throughout the neighbor¬
hood ns one who had u keen sense of
the ridiculous: After a long illness her
final hour was supposed to have cornel
and her children and grandchildren
gathered round for a last farewell,
when suddenly she opened her eyes
a:ul, on seeing the mournful expres¬
sions of those about her. remarked,
with afi her old time vigor, “The
watched pot never boils!”

Guest (to lonely looking man iu the
corner)--Awfully stupid affair, dou’t
you think?
“No doubt of it.”
“No man would ever dream of giving
a mixed up affair of this sort."
“That’s what I told my wife.”
“Have I met your wife?”
“Very l'kely. She’s giving the
party!”—Loudon Opinion.
Entering the hotel, he asked a waiter
what he could have for dinner.
•• Itoastbeeflambmuttonandham,” re¬
plied t lie waiter.
"Well." said the hungry man, “I’ve
never tasted it. but you may bring me
some and I’ll see what It’s like.”—Lon¬
don Telegraph.
A Restaurant Don’t.
Those persons who eat iu restaurants
learn many little bits of wisdom that
home keeping mortals are ignorant of.
Here Is one of them:
“Never," said the restaurant habitue,
“preface your order for a meal with T
think I will have this.’ Especially If
you are iu a hurry don’t think audibly.
It will take you twice as long to get
waited ou. Besides lowering you in
the estimation of the waiter, the inde¬
cision gives the Impression that you
haven't made up your mind what you
do want, and he gives you time to
think it over while waiting on some¬
body else. Ail that time you may be
quite sure or your choice of food you
may be fuming and fretting because
you are neglected, but really you have
no Tight to blame the waiter. He neg¬
lects you because you said T think.'
