A Louisville dairyman began singing
"Ta-rik-ru U om-de-ay" on h'ridny morn

For two days und nights he continued
to sing the song, nnd when his friends

French and German Politeness.
In England, as the titles of nobility
are limited and cannot be usurped by
fictitious characters without detection,
they confer a degree of consideration
upon the possessor far superior to what
Is observed in foreign countries, where
they are abundant to an extreme and
where every needy adventurer can as
sume them. A German baron, iu de
rision, on a race course a few days since
observed to a French marquis that the
title of marquis was very common iu
France, "I," added he, "have a marquis
in my kitchen." "And I," retorted the
Frenchman, who folt insulted, "have
German baron in my stable." This
repartee was particularly happy, it being
well known that German grooms are us
common out of their country as are
French cooks. It affords a just lesson,
too, against the folly as well as rude
ness of all national reflections. Maga

Sport for the Mob.
The most laughable thing I have seen
lately was the discovery of a new kind
of game by lively young setter dog. It
was in a large dry goods store where
cash is sent to the desk in littlo boxes
whirring along on slender rails. The
dog was following his pretty mistress
sedately enough, when he beard the
found and saw the swift flight of the
at the cash box. Be thought it was a
bird, and tore np and down the aisle
after it, scattering the crowd and amus
ing everybody in sight. As he would
not be convinced of his illusion, he had
to be removed forcibly from what he
probably thought the best hunting
ground he had ever struck. Kate

An Idea of Ileaven,
On one occasion the leader of talk

American gentleman at the table and
asked what were his notion on the sub
ject? The Yankee, with his slow,
nasal accent and cool manner com
' manding attention, replied, "Waal my
notion of heaven is that of a quiet,
green place, without money and without
prioe." Mrs. Anthony Cross in Temple

Where the English PneU Are Hurled
Of Shakespeare Westminster abbey
contains only a monument. His bones,
as everybody knows, rest at Stratford-upon-Avon,
and Milton Is honored only
by a bust. The author of "Paradise Lost"
Is buried in the Church of St. Giles,
Crlpplegate, and there is no reason to
doubt that the dean and chapter of bis
day would have refused him the rightof
sepulture in the abbey when he died had
it lieen then asked for. Kven so late ns
tho beginning of the Eighteenth century
the phrase, "second to Milton alone,"
which bad lieen proposed as an epitnph
for the poet Phillips, was "ruled out" by
Ilean Sprat, who reiragled the name of
Milton ns too delesti'ile to nppear in it
building dedicated to religion.
Thirty years later not only Milton's
iaino but the bust to bis memory was
admitted, although the accompanying
inscription wns not of a felicitous char
acter. Byron was actually refused
burial in t ie abbey; Goldsmith lies in
the precincts of the temple; Gray wns
burled ill the country churchyard, that
at Stoke Poges, near Slough, iu which
he wrotn his Immortal "Elegy;" and of
more modern bards Wordsworth, Ten
nyson's immediate predecessor In the
laureateship, is buried "by Kotha's
stream" iu Grasmere churchyard, while
the heart of Shelley nnd the body of
Rents are Interred In a Protestant ceme
tery at Koine.
Posterity is the only sure judge of
poetical renown, and who can doubt
that were Keats and Shelley to die now
they would as a matter of course lie
accorded a place where Browning
and Tennyson lie. It is a safe predic
tion, however, that our descendants will
not hold us of the Nineteenth century to
blame for admitting into the poets' cor
ner tho remains of tho author of "Morte
d'Arthur" and "In Memoriain." Lon

"Say Ton Mont Little Prayers!"
Mr. Sal a in Ida jonrnnl relate the fol
lowing experience of Mr. William Illack,
the novelist: "When nt work Mr. Black
love intense quiet, and cannot bear the
(lightest noise. For this reason he al
ways (elects a room at the top of the
house as his study. At one time it was
his misfortune to live in what he de
scribes ns a jerry built house, and while
endeavoring to work In the early hours
of the morning, as is bis custom, he tells
of one amusing inconvenience I lint lie
was called upon daily to put tip with,
"The nursery of bis next door neighbor
was in a line with bis study, nnd in this
a sotiiewhnt numerous family was lo
cated. Kvery morning ns regular ns
clockwork Mr. Black could bear the
elder sister call out, 'Now then, you
horrid littlo things, kneel down nnd say
your nasty littlo prayers!' A profound
silence would follow, but the interval
was a brief one. Then came a rush and
clntter, and the shrill voices of the chil
dren were beard exclaiming, 'We have
