WISE AND OTHERWISE. The art of being Ignorant gracefully I? very sadly neglected, these days. In tlie Tlmcs-Herald Mary Abbott tells two or three amusing Instances of this. Two t r three years ago. she writes, two authors who were reading from their own works In public, were coming to supper, after their performance, and I remember feeling a little anxiety as to the literary Btanitlmr of one of tho guests. In order to avoid hurting his feelings directly, I munag.?'! to mako pointed allusions to the works of the gentlemen who were coming, uml was met with perfect nonchalance and sangfroid. He said airily at last goaded to madness, and I don't wonder: "1 am afraid It seems like Ignorance not to have read your books, Mr. Oh, no. not Ignorance," the author reassured him, smilingly. "Well, at any rate, It's bliss." the unabashed youth retorted, lost in shame, and baited to frenzy. How dif ferent this from the assumption of the young sailor, who, when asked if he know the Dardanelles, exclaimed: "Know the Dardanelles? Why, I've kissed 'em many a time." GOT THE DROP FIRST: Salvation Army cxhorter (solemnly! "My friend, aro yon prepared to die?" Alkali Ike (drawing his revolver! "Throw up your hands! 1 might have chucked a little suthln' into that hat If you had asked me civilly, but yer can't skeer me Into con trlbutln'!" Truth. When Henry M. Stanley vlflted Chicago a few years ugo as n distinguished trav eler, he-was, for him, much Impressed with the sparkling effervescence of a lady who sat next htm at d.nner one. night, nn.l paid her (for hlml marked attention. That Is to say, he did not turn his back upon her, nor tell her to cat her dinner. The reason for the gentlemen's fancy, he af terward explained (In part! by saying that she did not mention Africa. A Chicago man, by the way, who afterward made things (informal by asking the great African explorer If he had ever been abroad, does not seem to have made the tame tender Impression; but that Is prob ably as the Times-Herald suggests, be cause there is no accounting for tastes. ' GENIUS ON THE COW: A new poet hns arisen In the west and ho writes verses like these: "I never saw a purplo cow, I never hope to e one. But I can tell you anyhow, I'd rather ?e than bo one." It Is related of a certain French general who died recently that he had a very de voted servant to whom, though really kind, he was somewhat rough In speech. In the Crimean war tho general wns wounded so badly that one of his legs had to be amputated, and during the opera tion, which had to be performed without ether, the man. Jenn Baptists, stood by and howled, while the general submitted quietly. "What are you howling for?" the general presently called. "Oh, my master, I cannot endure that you should lose your leg!" "Who wants you to en dure It7 Can't you seo that you will bene fit by H7" "What does monsieur mean?" "Why, you blockhead, you'll only have to black one boot ofter this!" Youth's Com panion, WIT AND WISDOM: The next thing you know there will be n demand for a woman's edition of the pock. etbook, and then there's going to be trouble. Chicago Tribune. If a. woman eats what she wants to wear and a man what he wants to eat, there's no reason why they shouldn't llvo together and be happy.
