The Judge's Little Joke.
The error of a clerk involved la a
decidedly confusing situation the Ger
man gentleman referred to in a story
la the New York Times.
On a jury day in the First district
court a stolid looking German present
ed to the justice a certificate from the
commissioner of jurors. After a rapid
glance at the document the justice or
dered the man to raise his right hand
and administered the oath.
"Your name is Herman Kaufman?"
"Yes, your honor."
"This paper," continued tho court,
"requests me to excuse Herman Kauf
man from jury duty on the ground
that he is dead. Now, remember that
you have sworn to tejl the truth and
think well before you answer. Are
you dead?"
"No-o, your honor," was the bewil
dered reply; "I don't think I am."
"You claim that you are alive?"
"Y-e-s, your honor."
"That will do. Now take this paper
back to the commissioner of jurors."
The man did so. When the commis
sioner examined the certificate it bore
the following indorsement in tho jus
tice's handwriting:
"The deceased, appearing before me
n open court, insists under oath that
le is not dead. Please investigate and
112 his testimony be false have him in-
Ucted for perjury."
A Wedding Hint.
The tali girl smiled in some embar
i3sment.
"Haven't you any secondhand shoes?"
le said to the shoe clerk.
"But, miss"— he remonstrated.
"No, no; you misunderstand," said
ie. "I don't mean to wear. 1 just
ean old shoes, too worn for use, that
istomers have left with you. You
e, there's a wedding up at our house
morrow, and we want something to
row at the bride and bridegroom."
'I see," said the clerk.
le rummaged in a black hole and
iw forth an armful of dilapidated
>twear. The girl selected some
•ees, two and ones.
'These will do. Thanks ever so
'ch," she said, and so departed.
Big footed people are always work

rd. "That girl wears eights. She
ildn't very well throw such mud
ws at the bride, so she chose some
le and dainty shoes here—ones and

Saracen's Head Tavern.
he Saracen's Head, Snow Hill, now
fed, reached back to a respectable
iquity. In "Dick Tarlton's Jests"
is referred to as "the Saracen's
id without Newgate," and Stow
i it "a fair and large inn for re
t of travelers," which "hath to

Jet.
In his "Mirror of Stones" Camilius
Leonardus calls jet "black amber" and
states that it possesses the peculiar
property of attracting to it when rub
bed light substances of all kinds. He
also tells iw that the thin smoke pro
duced by this friction of rubbing was
used by tiie ancient Britains for driv
ing away devils and dissolving spells.
"Jet," says Dr Young, "appears to
be wood in a high state of bituminiza
tion." And certainly jet often appears
with traces of ligneous structure. At
the same time there are specimens of
bones which seemingly have been grad
ually impregnated with and at last
wholly replaced by this substance.
Among the jet rock there is found a
liquid hydrocarbon somewhat resem
bling petroleum oil. which occurs in
the cavities of ammonites, etc.. and is
also sometimes found in nodules, the
presence of which is generally sup
posed to point to a rich vein of jet.
From these and other observations it
would appear that jet existed as a
liquid substance and that this sub
stance gradually permeated between
the laminations of the shales, etc., cov
ering over or in some cases entirely re
placing any woody matter which it
met with.—New York Post.
Snuff Spoons.
All the world is familiar with snuff
boxes. but snuff spoons are pretty lit
tle refinements of which this genera
tion has hardly heard Very probably
they came into use about two years
after Sir George Itooke's expedition to
Vigo bay in 1702. when he captured
half a ton of tobacco and snuff from
the Spanish galleons, and snuff thus
became a common article in England.
One of the characters in a comedy
published at Oxford in 1704. entitled
"An Act at Oxford." by Thomas
Baker, says, "But I carry sweet snuff
for the ladies," to which Arabella re
plies: "A spoon too. That's very gal
lant. for to see some people run their
fat fingers into a box is as nauseous
as eating without a fork."
In the forties and fifties of the last
century snuff spoons were still in use
on the Scottish border. They were of
bone and of a size togo Into the snuff
box. People fed their noses, it was
said, as naturally as they carried soup
to their mouths. As late as 1877 a
farmer at Norhain-on-Tweed was seen
using one.— liOndon Saturday Bevlew.
A Tramp of Resource.
Much experience of thirsty tramps
had caused the author of "An English
Holiday," J. J. Hissey, to foreknow
almost exactly what they would say
to him. One day, when sending his
motorcar slowly along a shady Eng
lish road, he met one of this guild, who
accosted him with the preliminary
touch of his cap. Mr. Hissey antici
pated him by exclaiming:
"I be mortal thirsty! Have you, good
sir, the price of a glass of ale about
you? I've driven nearly fifty miles to
day, and since the morning not a bite
of food has passed my lips."
The look of astonishment that tramp
gave me was a delight to observe. But
this tramp was a man of ready re
source, and. seeing 1 was a hopeless
case, he rose to the occasion and
promptly exclaimed, with what dig
nity be could command and with a
comically serious expression:
"If there were a policeman in sight
I would give you in charge for begging,
that I would!"

She was desperately gone on them

to refuse.
She gazed at them both in despair,
quite puzzled to know what to do. As
soon as she thought about one she
cared for the other one too.
They still remained under her gaze,
little recking the trouble they brought.
It really was hard to decide. They

of old clothes you'd tell me how to
