LAtjU 1N LUMBER CO. Laipiin, Bradford Co., Pa. j HUMOR OF LONDON CABBIES. Some of Their Remarks WKtn the Tip Is Not Forthcoming. Some of the hansom fraternity of London have no sense of humor, but j the majority are decidedly facetious, says Tit-Hits. Here are some examples of witty and sarcastic "cab i byisms." To appreciate them properly It must 1 be understood that the fare has offered ' a single shilling in payment for a ride | Just within the two mile limit. I "Are you quite sure you can spare j this?" remarks the cabby with a bump of humor. "D'ye think you'll be able j to rub along on the other nineteen till j next Friday? It's golu' the pace, I y'know." I "If you'll take my tip. guv'nor," runs ! another form of gentle reproach, "you'll , go and see an oculist. You 'ailed this | bus by mistake. You wants a red or green or yellow bus. Black ain't in your line at all." "Thank yer, gov'nor," says another cabby, with apparent emotion; "thank yer, kiuilly. Yer offer Is well tneuut. but I couldn't go for to do it." Saying which he makes a pretense of handing the shilling back to the astonished fare. "But I can't sell him, guv'uor, and that's a fact. Yer 'andsome hof fer'd make me rich for life, but I tell yer I can't sell Mm." One cabby, who was tin excellent ac tor, on receiving his shilling burst into tears and between his loud Bobs Jerked out: "I'm sorry you force It on me, guv'uor, 1 am really. The hlncmne tnx people'll he down on me now." Ati excellent "cabbylsni" was perpe trated In the suburbs one night. As j the fare let himself into the house he i was regaled somewhat as follows: "Go in quietly, sir, In case the old wo man wakes up and 'ears uie drivin' away. She might stop the rest of yer pocket money for this extravagance." A Bit of Superstition. Superstition Is by no means dead, even In ultra civilized England, says Londou Answers. One Sunday, a few months ago, an Interesting proof of ; this fact was seeu In the parish church of Sutcomtie, In uorth Devon. A woman who suffered from epilepsy sat In the porch as the congregation came out from morning service, and thirty married men, who at her request had attended church, passed her one -by one. As they passed each dropped a penny In her lap. The thirtieth took the pennies and gave the woman a half crown, which was to be made into a ring for her to wear. Vain supersti tion. you exclaim. Yet another woman, also a martyr to epileptic tits, who went through the same ceremony | at the same place nineteen year* ago I has never since suffered. MOSLEM ETIQUETTE. ' , Always Be In Good Humor and Talk; Pleasant Things. Ilere are some Interesting Mussul- 1 niau injunctions of conviviality, says the Loudon Lancet. The honor of be ing served first belongs to the invited | guest who la In the possession of any I high title or who has in any way oi! sphere distinguished himself. If the! host himself Is the oldest in the com pany or has any high decoration ol merit, be must first begin the meal without delay in order not to let the others unduly wait. It shows bad up bringing to be in a melancholy mood at table or to speak of disagreeable things or to engage in inappropriate discus sions on matters bf religious piety. Foremost of all. one must always be in good humor and talk of pleasant things, as did the prophet himself. You must always help yourself from the side of the dish nearest to you and uever try to And out the best bits, which ought to be left for other guests. If one of the invited has not much ap petite, you must ask him up to three times with some kind chosen words to partake of the meals. A louger Insist ence would cause ennui and would be most inappropriate. You must never stop eating before others, because in doing so you will embarrass them and cause them to finish quickly in imitat ing you. Never eat gluttonously, but also nev er attempt to conceal your good appe tite. Always eat little by little. Exag gerated compliments are always mis placed. The host's duty Is to make his guests feel as comfortable as possible, encouraging the timid and shy. It Is contrary to good taste to address and to fix the attention of a guest when he> Is eating. Even If the host Is not ac customed to eat much be must always try not to finish before others. Should any dish be forbidden to him by his medical attendant he certainly must not partake of it, but must at the same time excuse himself before his guests. It is absolutely necessary to avoid ev ery movement or gesture which is apt to create disgust. A GOOD LAWN. The Best Way to Prepare the Ground and Sow the Beed. A good lawn may be made either by laying sod or growing seed. If*turf Is used, the lawn is sometimes ready j for use In less time than when seed Is used, but practically the difference is very slight. Fewer lawns are made from turf every year. The turf or soli Is nearly always obtained from a near by field. It abounds in coarse grasses and liernicious weeds. The former may be got rid of after considerable trouble, but the latter rarely ever. Sod laid lawns are nearly always uneven, seamy and varied in color and texture. Their cost, too, Is much In excess of seeding the lawn down. A lawn produced from a mixture of good, new, recleaned seeds of the finer grasses and clovers is superior In qual ity and texture to the best sod obtain able. To obtain the best results from sowing, the ground should be carefully dug over—not too deep, six to eight inches will be enough—and nicely lev eled off; then sow on broadcast a good fertilizer, 000 pounds to the acre, or about ten pounds to every 15 by 15 square feet Ituke this In and roll it or flatten it with the back of a spade; then sow seventy pounds of some good lawn seed to the acre, or one pound to every 15 by 15 feet. Sow half this quantity walking < ne way and halt walking at right angles to it, so as to get even distribution. Do not sow In windy weather, and be sure to rake the seed In, and after sowing roll it well or beat it flat with the spade. Those seeds that are deeply buried will not germinate, and those that are exposed will be scorched by the sun, blown or washed away or taken by the birds. Whenever necessary to sow in summer it is better to mix with rye or oats to protect the tender shoots from the hot sun.—Suburban Life. The "Coney" of the Bible. There is a queer little rock animal found in thousands in all parts of Cape Colony, South Africa, and called by the I>utch "daasje*' (pronounced in Eng lish "dassie"). This little creature ha* many other names, such as the coney, daman, rock badger and rock rabbit. It is found also in Syria and is really the "coney" of the Bible, for one of the psaluis contains this verse, "The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats! aud the rocks for the conies," while in the book of Proverbs we read. "The co nles are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks." The South African daasje is a pretty gray, furry creature, merry and sun loving, and when taken young makes a charm ing pet.—Amy Sutherland in St. Nich olas. The Drawback. Mile. Victorine confides to the Jani tor's wife that her mistress, who is old and feeble, has promised to remember her in her will If she takes good care of her till she dies.
