Strictly Business.
"Sir," began a strauger as lie walk
ed directly up to a business man."l
am strictly on business."
"So am I."
"Good! I believe every man should
' furnish money for his own tombstone."
"So do I."
"Good again! I want to raise ?25
to pay for a stone over my grave.
What assistance will you render the
I enterprise? I want a business an
! swer."
"You shall have it, sir. Unless you
immediately take your departure I will
! aid the enterprise by furnishing the
corpse."
The stranger hurried off.—Cleveland

Golf.
Golf as a recreation appeals to prac
tically all ages. Impetuous youth,
staid middle age and the man in the
evening walk of life alike feel its fas
cination and enjoy its manifold pleas
ures. Golf entails walking, the best
of exercises for the average man. It
trains the eye and the arm, and, while
it tries, it ought also to train the tem
per.—Liverpool Courier.
A Warm Time Coming.
"I'm doin' me best with the fire, sir,"
i said the janitor at the door of Gailey's
office one cold morning, "but I'm
afraid I can't make it very warm for
you. You see, sir"—
"Never mind," feverishly replied Gai
ley, who had been out all night. "My
wife will be here shortly, I expect."—

A Fatal Austrian Flag.
Once there was an epidemic of plague
at Odessa, in Russia, which lasted
more than a year. It had a most re
markable origin, being due to a fatal
flag. An Austrian vessel arrived at
Odessa, bringing one of the crew who
bad died during the voyage. The sail
or was duly interred in the Catholic
I cemetery at the port, and at the fu
neral the Austrian flag was carried l>.v
two seamen. On their way back to
the vessel the men entered a graat
number of saloons and laid down the
flag while drinking. A very short
time afterward the sailors who had
carried the flag died, and before long
j it was found that people were ill in
all the houses where the men bad call
i ed with the fatal flag. Soon the plague
| spread throughout Odessa, filling all
I with terror and claiming a frightful
toll. There is no doubt that the flag
> contained the plague bacilli in the
j <v>ids and so spread the disease.—
j Baltimore Sun.
An Eye Experiment.
The two eyes really see two objects,
j If the two forefingers be held, one at
the distance of one foot, the other two
feet in front of the eyes, and the for
mer be looked at, two phantoms of the
latter will be observed, one on each
side. If the latter figure be regarded,
two phantoms of the nearest finger
will be observed mounting guard, one
on either side.
Answered.
Two ministerial candidates named
Adam and Low preached in a Scottish
rliurch. Mr. Low preached in the
morning and took for his text, "Adam,
where art thou?"
He made a most excellent discourse,
and the congregation was much edi
fied. In the evening Mr. Adam preach
ed and took for his text, "Lo, here I
am!"

Sensible Dog.
"Talking about the intelligence of an
imals," said young Kanebiter, "why, I
have a dog up at the farm that's sim
ply wonderful."
"How so?" said Pitken.
"Why, you see, I was out shooting
one day when I found a large, hand
some dog lying on the ground moaning
with pain. Some ruffian had shot it
in the leg. I carried it home, bandaged
the wound and finally cured the poor
beast. Some months after that I was
compelled to travel it lonely road after
dark when suddenly Ponto, who ac
companied me, growled warnlngly.
The next moment a highwayman step
ped out of the bushes and put a pistol
to iny head."
"Ah," cried the listener, "I see!
Thereupon the grateful dog seized the
robber by the throat."
"Not at all. The man robbed me
easily enough—took watch, purse, ev
erything."
"But Ponto?"
"Han off as fast as his legs would
larry him. That's*the point—don't you
•ee? Animal instinct—didn't want to
get shot again," lllustrated London
News.
The Ferret and the Rat.
A correspondent of a London paper,
commenting on the crusade against
rats in Great Britain, says:"The real
remedy against rats is the ferret, not
the unhealthy ferret kept by the half
starved rat catcher of the agricultural
village, but the strong, healthy ferret
bred on the ground floor of a well ven
tilated, commodious dog kennel and
there kept 011 skimmiik, table refuse
and small birds. Bedded with clean
wheat straw, the ferret is one of the
sweetest of animals, and the expert
goes into the kennels and cheers them
as though in a kennel of hounds, and
they crawl about him harmlessly. The
young bucks will run miles across the
country with the expert, just like lit
tle terriers. With this healthy life
they grow too big for hunting rats In
barns or other buildings, but they can
settle any rat in a wheat stack if put
In before the rat has made a labyrinth
inside the stack. The doe ferrets will
rout the buildings, and they alone
should In* the chief instrument in the
crusade. The rat is too cunning for
guns, traps and other devices."
The Hundred Best Books.
"The fact is that there is no possi
bility of naming the hundred best
books. The naming of them for any
large general audience is quite impos
sible. All that Is possible in such a
connection is to state emphatically
that there are very few books that are
equally suitable to every kind of in
tellect," says Clement Shorter in his
book of "Immortal Memories." "Tem
perament as well as intellectual en
dowment makes for so much In read
ing. Take, for example, the 'lmitation
of Christ.' George Eliot, although not
a Christian, found it soul satisfying.
Thackeray, as I think a more robust in
tellect, found it well nigh as mischiev
ous as did Eugene Sue. There are
great books that can be read only by
the few, but surely the very greatest
appeal alike to the man of rich Intel
lectual endowment and to the man to
whom all processes of reasoning are
incomprehensible."
Same, but More of It.
Sitting in a Broadway restaurant the
other evening were two young women
who had not met for four years. One
of them had grown stout and the other
had admitted that she wouldn't have
recognized her old friend under ordi
nary circumstances. They sat silently
looking nt each other for a moment,
when the heavyweight inquired:
"What arc you thinking about?"
"I was just trying to see whether
your expression is the same as it used
to be," said her friend.
"Just the same," the girl with the
avoirdupois declared. "Only more of
it."—New York GIOIK-.
An Irish Tale.
One day an Irishman, having put his
hat upon a gate post by which he lay
down to sleep, sprang up at midnight
and, mistaking the object for an en
emy, dealt it a desperate cut with his
scythe. Perceiving his mistake, the
man gave thanks to heaven that he
had taken It off before lying down.
"For," said he, "had my head been In
that hat, 'tis ten to one I had laid it
open with my scythe, and 'tis a dead
man 1 would have been seeiu' mesilf at
this minute!"— London Captain.
Not Far to Go.
The reporter hurried up to the scene
of the accident, A workman engaged
011 some scaffolding had missed his
footing and had fallen many feet into
the street below. Then the reporter
went off to interview the unfortunate
man, who luckily had escaped with a
very severe shaking and a few nasty
bruises, and asked sympathetically:
"Did you have vertigo, my man?"
"Oil, no, sir; only about thirty-five
feet. Quite far enough for me, though."
—Pearson's.
An Effective Scarecrow.
A scarecrow used by a farmer in the

A Willing Informer.
"What Is the number?" repented cen

"Violet Park, eight-seven-seven."
"Violet Park, eight-double-seven?"
"I reckon so."
"And what number do you want?"
"Elmdale, two-naught-four-seven."
"What is your name?"
"My name is John Henry Miggles. I
live at 65 Blicken street, Violet Park.
My house phone is Violet Park, eight

you choose. I am married, have no

"All that is unnecessary, sir. We

"And last summer we didn't have a

"Did you want Ehndale two-naught

"Yes!" gasped Mr. Miggles.
"Well, the line is busy now. Shall I
call you?"
But Mr. Miggles wrote a letter.—New
Orleans Picayune.
Squaring the Circle.
There is a record of an attempted
quadrature in Egypt 500 years before
tin? exodus of the Jews, and, if we are
to take Ilone as an authority, the
problem was solved by Hippocrates,
the geometrician of Chios, nearly 500
years B. C. By some It is claimed that
the efforts of Hippocrates were in the
direction of converting a circle into a
crescent because he had found that
the area of a figure produced by draw
ing two perpendicular radii is exactly
equal to tiie triangle formed by the
line of conjunction. This last is the
famous theorem of the "lunes of Hip
pocrates." The "Papyrus Ithind," the
oldest mathematical book in the world,
written by one Akmes about 2,000
B. gives a rule for "squaring the
circle." The rule given requires that
the diameter of a circle shall be short
ened by one-ninth and the square erect
ed upon this shortened line. The early
Babylonians also worked at this old
mathematical problem, as is attested
by several references in the Talmud.
The Only One.
Henry VIII. of England, being at oue
time at variance with Francis I.of
France, decided to send an ambassa
dor and to charge him with a very
fierce and menacing message to this
prince. He chose for this office an
English bishop in whom he had great
confidence and whom he believed
would be the most proper person to
carry out his design. Ilis prelate, be
ing informed of the nature of his mis
sion and fearing for his life should he
treat with Francis in the haughty
manner his master desired, represented
to the king the danger to which he
was exposing him and begged not to be
sent on this mission.
"Oh, never fear," said Henry. "If
the king of France should kill you, I
will have the head of every French
man I find in my kingdom."
"I believe you, sire." replied the bish
op, "but permit me to assure you that
of all the heads you will cut off there
is not one of them that will fit on my
body as well as my own!"
The Letter M.
The Hebrew name of M was Mem,
water, and it is curious to note that
the original form of this character In
the most ancient manuscript is a wav
ing line, which to the not too particu
lar ancients represented water. By
some philologists the letter M as used
by the Phoenicians is supposed to have
come from a picture representing the
human face, the two down strokes rep
resenting the contour of the counte
nance, the V stroke signifying the
nose, the two (lots, long since disused,
and a stroke beneath the V represent
ing the eyes and the mouth. The o'*d
Phoenician form of the letter does In
deed bear a comical sort of resem
blance to the human face.
The Cure.
"You look glum," said the husband of
one clever woman to the man who had
married her companion.
"So would you if your wife studied
geology and tilled the house with
stones until there wasn't a place left
for you to sit."
"Don't worry about that," was the
cheerful reply. "Turn your wife's
thoughts to astronomy. That will suit
her just as well, and she can't collect
specimens."—Sketchy Bits.
Putting !t Gently.
Mr. Heupeck i hear that young
Jones and his wife are not getting
along very well. Mrs. Ilenpeck (ati
♦horltatively)—Jones should never have
married when he did. He was too
young to realize the step he was tak
ing. Mr. Ilenpeck—Yes, I know, but I
like the boy. We have many things in
common.—Puck.
No Other Course Open.
"Now," said the physician, "you will
have to oat plain food and not stay out
late at night."
"Yes." replied the patient; "that is
what I have been thinking ever since
you sent in your bill."—Catholic News.
Satire.
Satire is a sort of glass wherein be
holders do generally discover every
body's face but their own. which is the
chief reason for that kind rccept : >n il
meets with in the world—Swift
if you want your "patent leather
shoes to last, twice as long, rub them
frequently with sweet oil or vaseline.
