ISSA Spoiled Their Waltzing. In her memoirs Mme. de Boigne gives some interesting glimpses of English social life. For instance, she writes: “In 1816 no young English lady ven- tured to waltz. The Duke of Devon- shire returned from a tour in Germany and observed one evening at a large ball that a woman was never seen to better advantage than when waltzing. } do not know whether he was anx- fous to play a trick, but he repeated this assertion several times. It was passed from mouth to mouth, and at the next ball all the young ladies were waltzing. The duke admired them greatly, said that it was delightful and gave proper animation to a ball. He then added carelessly that he, at any rate, had decided never to marry a lady who waltzed. It was to the Duchess of Richmond and at Carlton House that he saw fit to make this revelation. The poor duchess, the most clumsy of matchmaking mamimas, near- ly fell off her chair with horror. She repeated the statement to her peigh- bors, who passed It on, and consterna- tion spread from seat to seat. The young ladies continued to waltz with clear consciences. The old ladies were furious, but the unfortunate dance was concluded. Before the end of the even- ing the good Duchess of Richmond was able to announce that her daugh- ters felt an objection to waltzing which no persuasion of hers could ever overcome. Some few girls of more in- dependence continued to waltz, but the majority gave it up.” After the Honeymoon. “pa” inquired a small boy on the Oakland boat, “what's a simoon?” “Huh!” grunted the man without looking from his paper. “Simoon’s sand storm on the dessert, dreaded by travelers.” “And, pa. what's a honeymoon?” “Honeymoon's rice storm on a train, enjoyed by travelers.” “Then a honeymoon's something like a simoon, ain't it, pa?” “Guess so. Keep quiet. Don’t ask so many fool questions. Look at the sea gulls.” “But ain't they a good dgal alike, pa —gimoons and honeymoons?” “Ugh. hub, both full of hot air! Most honeymoons become simoons in a few years. When the honey’s gone the sigh's left.” “Pa, were you ever on a moon?" “Percy, if you don't stop pestering me with questions I'll never bring yon over to the city again.” “Well, ma said she had a honeymoon, and it was like a dream, and all the rest of it's been a nightmare.” —San Francisco Chronicle. houney- Life Saving and Law. The Roumanians are as curious in some things as the Chinese. A gir) who fell inte the river and was swept down by the current finally seized a bush on the bank and drew herself to shore. The owner of the land on wbich the bush grew immediately claimed a reward of 4 shillings because his bush was there and had saved her. Her father refused to pay, and there was a lawsuit. What the law has to decide is whether drowning people can make use of bushes on the bank with- out paying for the same or whether the assistance of the said bush is worth a certain sum of money. In China if a person falls into the water no one must help him out, but at the same time a spectator can be im- prisoned for not advising the victim to stay on dry land. The Navel Orange. For a product of nature a California navel orange as it graces the breakfast table or the push cart is about the most artificial thing in the world. It is also a very striking illustration of the fact that while beauty may be only skin deep it counts for a whole lot. To begin with, the navel orange of California is an exotic, reaching Its present habitat after devious wander- ing. And, be it ever so sweet tasting, if its skin has had its beauty marred it scarcely ever gets farther than the orchard where it grew. Not only that, but even the most comely ones before they are boxed and shipped are brush- ed by machinery and polished and otherwise fussed with to give them a beauty which mere nature never would have provided.—William R. Stewart in Colleges & Schools. ” RILEY'S FIRST HIT. Wrote a Poem “by Poe” and Paimed It on the Public. James Whitcomb Riley began his ca- peer in a newspaper office in Anderson, Ind.. by writing bumorous rhymes as “advertising locals” — “doggerel” he called them. At the same tiie he wrote many rhymes with the serious tention of having them. if possible, recognized as poems. But he could not get them published. Even composi- tions whose worth he had tested—those that “would please people when I'd stand up and read ‘em to them" —would be returned promptly by every maga gine to which he offered them for pub- leation. The Hoosier dinlect was too “low down” for the average magazine editor. Finally in a freak of boyish indigua- tion, to prove that what editors really wanted was not originality. but imnita tion, he devised the scheme of writing a poem in imitation of Poe and of palming it off on the public as a real poem of Poe's recently discovered. The scheme was very skillfully planned and very deftly executed and success- ful beyond anything the clever deviser of it had ever dreamed. From one end of the country to the other “Leonainie” was hailed as a veritable “find,” a bit of genius’ most genuine ore. Riley had his revenge. He had some trouble, however, in proving that he was not an intentional forger. He lost his newspaper position, but he immediately got another and better one on the Indianapolis Journal. “Come and get pay for your work,” sald Judge Martindale, the editor. The turn in the tide had come. The Alternative. A Frenchman applied to a local offi- ela] for a passport to visit Klatter- wingschen, in Switzerland. The func- tionary, who was not a fellow of any geographical soclety. studied In vain with the spelling of the place's name.

Oat in the western part of this State a man bad a thousand bushels of potatoes to | sell one year. He thought he saw a chance They thought that wasn’t just the time to sell.
