Sorry He Spoke.
There is a certain West Philadelphia
pachelor who is very fond of children.
Recently when be was riding on a
Chestnut street trolley car a woman
. sat opposite him with a baby in ber
arms. Suddenly the baby began to
ery. Every one in the car seemed to
be annoyed and a general scowl went
around-—that is, every one except the
bachelor. He tried to show by the
benign expression of bis face that the
crying of the baby was sweet music to
him. He smiled at the youngster, but
the noise only grew louder. Finally
he leaned across the car.
“Perhaps there’s a pin sticking him.”

the manner of one who understands

lacy had its origin in following
story: A man had a number of star-
lings in a large cage marked “Fine
Young Stariings—Only 1 Shilling
Each,” and as each would be pur
chaser arrived the man would say,
“There’s a fine bird there, sir,” point-
ing out one of them, “but I wast half
a crown for him, because he’s the only
one with a cut tongue, so he is bound
to be a talker.” He would then pro-
ceed to catch the bird and show the
cut tongue and Invariably succeeded

effecting a sale. This dodge would
be repeated as each pew customer ar-
rived and departed rejoicing at his
bargain, The reader perbaps is
not aware that all stariings bave a

appearance of a little piece baving
been snipped out of it.—London Strand.
The Crested Screamer.
“1 was surprised to run across an old
acquaintance up at the zoo the other
day. The last time | saw him was in
the lower part of Brazil when 1 was
trying to push Yankee notions,” said
a commercial traveler. “This acquaint-
ance is known as crested screamer.
He is one of the best fighters 1 ever
bet my money on. He is about as
large as a turkey and as spry as they
make ‘em when his fighting blood is
up. He bas four sharp spurs instead
of two, and the odd thing is the spurs
are on the wings instead of the legs.
The birds ran wild, bur the natives
tamed them and taught them to fight
hawks and other enemies of poultry.
They are fine poultry protectors. A
fight between two of them is the most
exciting thing in the way of sport
down there and is more popular than
a cockfight.”—New York Sub.
A Grewsome “Charm.”
One of the most grewsome “charms”
is that which was at one time exten-
sively used as a cure for wens. The
hand of a dead criminal still banging
had to be rubbed three times over
the wen. A correspondent in London
Notes and Queries some few years
since wrote that many persons were
then living who in their younger days
had undergone the ceremony. always,
they maintained. with complete suc-
cess. “On execution days at North-
ampton,” he adds. “numbers of suffer-
ers used to congregate around the
gallows in order to receive the ‘dead
stroke,’ as it was termed. At the last
execution which took place in that
town a very few only were operated
upon, not so much in consequence of
decrease of faith as from the higher
fee demanded by the hangman.”
Paternal Fortitude.
I was calling, when the little daugh-
ter of my hostess came into the room.
Kuowing that ber mother’s mother
had that morning returned home after
a somewhat lengthy visit 1 said:
“Weren't you sorry to have grandma
go away, Pearl?”
“Yes, 1 was,” she answered prompt-
ly, “and so was mamma--very SOITy.
But,” and she paused thoughtfully for
a moment, “I couldn't see at breakfast
but that papa was just as cheerful as
ever.”

Nearly a School Scandal.
What might have been a terrible sen-
sation, calling for public investigation
and much newspaperiety, was averted
by the visit of a shocked mamma to
one of our public primary schools. A
friend of the mother was calling at the
house and asked the little daughter.
“How do you like your teacher?"
“Oh, my teacher is nice.” answered
Tot, “but she is always asking us for a
cigarette.”
“What? cried the lady and the
mamma in borrified tones, se2ing con-
tamination of the morals of Tot under
the teachings of a modern bachelor of
the feminine gender.
“Yes, mamma. She says, ‘Cigarette,
The next day mamma visited the
school. As she entered the class room
the teacher was calling first to one
child and then to another, “Sit erect.

it Is a Wise Child.
An official of the immigration bureau
at Ellis island told a story of a wise
little immigrant child.
“A little gir! came over in the steer-
age in search of her father, whose
pame she gave us. We sent for the
man, and be came and looked at ber.
“+ can't tell whether this is Mary
or not.’ said he. ‘l baven't seen Mary

months old. How can | tell, then.

“It was a question we couldn't an-

child and from the child back to him.
remaining silent.
“Finally, when we were all at our
wits’ end, he look*1 earnestly at the
chiid and said plaintively, ‘Am I your
father?
“And the wise little chiid answered
quickly, ‘Yes, you are.’
“And so we made her over to him."

“Hang on Tight”
When a smoking car with thirty-tive
passengers jumped the track. a rall-
ed to the passengers to “hang on
tight,” an@ while the car turned over
no one was hurt.
“Hang on tight” is good advice in
most upsets. The man who hangs on
tight to himself when his temper is
upset will get through without hurting
either himself or others. The man
who “hangs on tight” to his earnings
ends with a competence. ‘The man
who “hangs on tight” to his place
when business upsets come generally
holds down his job. The man who
“hangs on tight” when discouragement
or even disaster upsets others is a
man to be hopeful about, because he
will keep right side up whatever else
turns over.—Philadeiphia Press.
Saved by a Dream.
“Hints conveyed by dreams are oc-
casionally worth heeding,” says the
London Chronicle. “The late Lord
Dufferin when in Paris dreamed that
he was in a hearse on the way to the
cemetery. A few days later. as he was
about to enter the elevator of a cer-
tain hotel, he was startled to find that
the attendant was a double of the
driver of the hearse in his dream. He
thereupon promptly left the elevator
and walked upstairs. The car ascend-
ed without him. but as it neared the
top something in the mechanism gave
way, and the passengers met their
death. Had they also, one wonders,
been forewarned in a dream?”
A Voracious Monster.
The most voracious of all marine
beasts of prey is the orca, or killer
whale. It reaches a length of twenty-
five feet, and its jaws bristle with
teeth from four to six inches long and
as sharp as a dirk knife. Its digestive
power is proportioned to the tremen-
dous efficacy of its jaws. It seems also
to be an atrocious glutton, as one spec-
imen examined contained in its stom-
his words.
