JOKES AND JOKERS. SOME OF THE FUN AND FUNMAKER3 OF BYGONE DAYS. From Dloffenrn to Afore Modern Men The English Furnish Rntlirr a Heavy Class of Humor Inexhaustible Supply of Irish Bull. Tlioro is mnro renl humor in a mod ern clodhopper thnn in nu ancient phi losopher. Tho jokes thnt have como down to ns from Greece are mostly poor ItulT, tint collejfo loys are gltid to Ret any comfort at nil from root RrulibliiK, and 'therefore thny InnBh nt DioReucs mid Aristoplmnes. It is snld thnt tho old cynlo beKd n tnb to livo in and toted this nhont where ho liked and sqnnttcd nuder it when ho plowed. Wlien Alexander called on him in this polntinl residence, ho asked what he conld do for him. "Got out of my sun Unlit, " suid Diogenes. Thnt wns tolera bly good, but uncivil. The nnsty old cub with his tub could he duplicated by a thonniind trnmps in America any day, and ninny of thorn are doubtless mistier and smarter. Pluto is snid to hnve preitched fntnlity. When a rogue rnn agniust him with a beam and excused himself ns "fated to doit," "Yds," snid Plato, "I see, but I also am fated to bent you for it," and gnve tho fellow a good cnuing. For sportiveuess Horace, was tho most pleasing of the nncients, but his verses aro very amatory and soino of them moro suggestive thnn a French piny. Charles Lamb is worth 20 of him, only thnt Horace could bo a poet when ho chose of a different sort Homer's plcturo of Tiiersites is the old est burlesque thnt I remember A joke coming down from 1000 II. C ought to bo pretty good. Will M. Quad Inst ns long? English joking is genernlly heavy. Hero is 0110 told by Jninos Pnyn. A wit ness in a slander enso sworo that Miss lies wns thrown over tho wall a dozen times. "What, "snid the judge. "Who wns Miss lies, and why did they throw her ever?" It was missiles. I cannot see anything so very funny in Sydney Smith's wishing ho could, on a certain hot day, take oil his flesh-nud sit in his bones. But Hood nud Charley Lamb are a brnce thnt no one ought ever to bo without. I have given up trying to keep a complete set of either. They are bor rowed and rolishod, and, I suppose, road to pioces. Hood was enpitnl in every direction he tnrned, whether pnthos, antire, pun or pure joking. His taking off of cele brated characters was as good as any thing. You should first read Boswell's "Johnson" and then read Hood's " Johnsoniana. " Bnt does anybody read BoBwell nowadays? Alas, for onoe fa mous books I Hood, says Johnson, was onoe consulted by a lady as to the de gree of turpitude and spanking dne her boy for robbing an orchard. "Madam, " said the ponderous doctor, "it all hangs on the weight of the boy. I remomber my school follow, Davy Garrick, who was a little fellow, robbing dozen or chards with impunity, bnt the very first, time I climbed an apple tree, for I was always solid, the bough broke, and it was called a Judgment on me. I sup pose that is why justice is represented with a pair of scales. " Sheridan was the best of jokers) but half that is attributed to him is floating Wit thnt needed a father. It is probably true that he asked his roistering bnt highborn crew one night whether they should drink like beasts or like men. Some one snid, "Men, of oourse." "Oh, then," cried Sheridan, "we'll got aw ful drunk, for beasts only drink what they need. " Irish wit is famous the v. jrld over. Port of it consists in the brogue, but it Is rare that an Irishman has not sur prises of speech, in which consists the wit of the highest ordor. Le Fann, in his "Seventy Years of Irish Life," has collected a great doal that is delicious. A witnoss that was badgered by a law yer was asked, "You're a nice follow, now, ain't you?" Witness answered, "I am, sir, and if I were not on oath, sir, I'd say the saie of yon. " Another witness was asked by a bullying coun sel, "80 you had a pistol?" "I had, sir." "Who did. you Intend to shoot?" "I won't iiitendlii to shoot no 0110. " "So yon got it for nothing?" "No, I didn't." "Como, cornel On your oath, what did yon get thnt pistol for?" "For three and liliii'penco, sir, ill Mr. Rich ardson's shop. " Tho Irish bull is of ten better thnn any deliberato wit. Sir Hiclmrd Steele insisted theso hulls worn owing to the nlr of tho country, "nixl, sir," he add ed, "if nn Knglislitiian was born here, I don't doubt he'd do tho same." In a debate on taxation 1111 Irish member of parliament insisted that "n tax on lentil er would press heavily 011 tho barefoot ed peasantry. " Sir Boylu Roche replied they could '"make tlm under leathers of wood. " Tho Hiuiio Sir Uoylo urged tho union of Ktiland and Ireland, so that "tho barren hills would becotno fertile vnlleys. " In another debnto lin nnswer ed, "1 boldly answer in tlm nlllrmntive Not" Hu wns ntithor of "Yon should refrain from throwing open tho flood gate of democracy, lest yon should pnvo tho way for n general conflagra tion. " At a race nu Irishman was do lighted because lit) wns "first nt Inst. " When they laughed, ho lidded, "Sure, wusn't 1 behind before" One day a friend ot liishop Ilramstoun nppronched Mm with the remark that ho wanted "a wifo, young, rich and pretty, " and ho wanted the bishop to pick her out for him. "Tut, tutl" said the bishop. "My name is liramstone, not Ilriinstonul I do not make matches!" K. P. Powell in St Louis Globe Democrat. " A MODERN RALEIGH. Bis Velvet Clunk Was Only a Ilandannn, but Ilia Spirit Was Itlght. It Is not true that manly chivalry it being starved out nud replaced by mere politeness in theso (lays. Homo young men seem to hnve grown into a resem bianco in usefulness and strength to the cignrettes thnt are ever present with them, nud tunny young women nro adopting the cutnwny coat and tho man's necktie, but tho spirit of Sir Wal ter Raleigh has not vuuished from the earth, and dainty womanliness doth still inspire chivalry. She was a fair West Philndelphinn who had just returned from a shopping tour in tho city. She carried three bun dies too precious to be left for a deliv ery wagon nud a mackintosh and two boxes of candy also balanced in uncer tain equilibrium about her. He was a big, plain, everyday workingman, and his weapon wns a pick, with which he waged successful war upon tho cob blestones and the dirt of a bndly muti lated West Philadelphia stroet Three little strips of wood were supposed to be enough at the point whore she dis mounted from the car to enoblo foot passengers to cross the muddy thorough faro, but just as she came opposite tho man a littlo tilt of tho flimsy pontoon bridge sent one of her daintily shod feet up to the nnkle into a fine yellow tnudhole, and when sho drew it out it was a sight to make one weep. Sho could not go on without hopelessly soil ing the edge of her skirt Sho could not stoop for bundles. Sho stood in petri fied perplexity. Then tho spirit of Sir Walter Ruleigh showed itself. The pick was dropped, and tho man grabbed a little stick and said, "Wnit, miss, an I'll clean yer shoe off. " There seemed to bo nothing elso to do, so she waited The rest of tho gang lenued on their picks nud shovels and watched tho scone out of tho corners of their eyes. When ho had done nil tho execution he conld with tho stick and quite a respoctablo pilo of clay had been scraped from the small shoe, ho whisked out a red ban danna handkerchief, a sort of substitute for Ralolgh's crimson oloak, and, still kneeling before her, notwithstanding her protest thnt he would get it dirty, proceeded to clean the shoe with that Sho thnuked him and walked down the street with a littlo blush on her cheek. He tonohod his well worn hat and gazod after her for a fow moments, then stuff ed the bandanna in his overalls pocket, ayiug, "It wasn't very cloan anyhow," and was again a common laboring man. Philadelphia Press. ODDITIES OF SCOTCHMEN. tarn Delightful Peculiarities Pointed Out . by an Excellent Authority. Borne dolightful oddities of Scotch character nro given in Wilmot Harri son's new book, says The Scottish Americnn. Professor Adam Ferguson, the author of "Roman History," at whose house Burns and Scott mot for the first and only time, eschowod wine and animal food, "bnt huge masses of milk and vegetables disappeared before him. In addition, his temperature was regulat ed by Fahrenheit, and often, when sit ting quite oomfortably, ho wonld start np and put his wife and daughters in commotion because his eye had fallen on the instrument and he was a degree too hot or too cold. " Yet at the age of 72 he started for Italy with bnt a single companion to prepare for a new edition of his "Roman History," nor did he die till he had attained tho age of 03. Another "charaotor" is Dr. Alexan der Adam, rector of the high school and author of a work on Roman antlquitios and a man of extraordinary industry. When at college, he lived on oatmeal and small boons, with an occasional penny loaf, In a lodging which cost him fourpenoe a week. In later lifo be de voted himself absolutely to the work of teaching. In addition to his classes in the high school he appears to have bad for his private pupils somo of the most eminent Scotchmen of his day. Rev. Sir Henry Wellwood Monoreiff, member of a Scottish family distin- gnlshed during several generations in connection both with church mid stnto, appears to hnvn given wonderful Bnn- duy suppers. "This mostndmirnblontid 1 somewhat old fnshloned gentleman wns ! 0110 of those who iihvnys dined between 1 sermons, probably without touching wine. Ho then walked buck from his smnll lionso in tho enst end of (Jueen 1 street to his church, with ills bonds, his 1 littlo cocked hat, his tall cane anil his I cardinal nlr; preached, if it wns Ills j turn, a sensible, practical sermon, walked homo in tho same style, took ten about J B, spent some hours in his study, at 1) ' had family prnyers, nt which ho was delighted to seo tho friends of his sons, nfter which tho whole party sat down to roasted hares, goblets ot wlnoand his powerful talk." NOT A TRUE MURPHY. He llnd tlto Name nnd the l'liysdiui', but I.nrknl the Itmiriie. A Boston scion of tho grent Celtlo family of Murphy, while traveling in Ireland recently, emtio nornss n littlo village where tho man who did not bear his patronymic wns regarded ns o ruri osity. While wandering about this in teresting hamlet ho chanced to como upon a littlo tavern, nud being nthlrst entered tho taproom for beer. Be it hero known that the traveler wns considera bly nbovo tho nverngo in stature, mid this wns noticed by two old habitues sitting by I ho flro. Ono of theso pres ently remarked to Ills companion, "Mike, that giutlcmaii is taller than Jerry Murphy, Ol think." "Ah, now," replied tho other through tho 2 inch stem of a T. D., "ho's not" with a rising reflection on tho end of tho sen tence. "Yis, ho is," retorted the first, with conviction. "Cnn't Oi seo Jerry's mark thero on tho dure?" Tho traveler's nttentlon wns then called to a doorpost whereon wns mark ed tho statnro of four men, all over 0 feet 4 inches in height. Tho tallest wns Jerry Murphy, and Ills mark wns 0 feet 6 inches. Accepting this challenge, tho trnveler stepped np to the doorpost and hnd his height mnrked, nnd, lot it wns a full half inch nbovo thnt of Jerry. , When he hnd written his nnmo over his mark, for ho Noticed thnt tho others were so designated, nnd that they were all Mnrphys, somo one present called out, "Ho's a Murphy tool" Bnt one of the old fellows by tho flro wonld not havo it so and replied: "Indado ho's not. Ho hasn't got tho broguol" Bos ton Transcript. Enameling Cast Irnn. It is noted ns n somewhat singular fnct thnt there nro not moro thnn two processes for enameling cast iron, not withstanding tho ntnount of ingenious effort put forth in this direction. Ono of theso is tho hot process, in which tho iron, hentod to a vivid red, is powdered with a flnx powder, borosillonto of lead distributed with a sieve, then honted, and when tho flux fuses it is powdered afresh with glnss more soluble, forming the glaze of tho ennmel, but this opera tion is attended with danger nnd is not adapted to lorgo articles or for decora tion. Tho second process, which meets tho objections named, consists in dress ing or coating tho nrticlo first with mag netic oxido, then dipping it in borosili cntcsof lend, colored by metallic oxides, to which is ndded 11 littlo pipe clay, in order to give rather more body. Tho nrticlo thus covered cold, by dipping or witli brushes, is put into the furnace, tho eunmel ndhering nud vitrifying nt the usual fnrnnco temperature used by eniunelers, nnd by putting a contiug of colored eunmel with a brush on a first coat simply plain it is possiblo to make any decorations desired, which may be burnt in nt 0110 operation for outdoor vases, eto.

Fore 01 forward oastle received its nnme as being the principal part of the ship in which the fighting took place, being raised much above the level ot the other part ot the dock and holding a commanding position Poop, the raised after part of the ship, set apart tor officers, both la meaning and deri vation, comes from the Latin, Gangway has been handed down from the days ol the ancient galleys of the Phoenicians, Carthogenlant and Ro mans, it having been board whtob ran along the whole length, serving si passage for the rowers to and from their teats. It wai also utilized at a resting place toi the matt and sail when not to use The term now denotes t place ol exit or entrance from 01 to e vessel, generally from the shore, by meant of 4 long plank ot platform. Chambers' Journal Meat Water, Every good cook is careful to dispose It once of the water in which meat has been washed. Only a very few honrs are nocossary to change it into a foul smelling liquid if the temperatnre is suitable. This change is due to a little plant called Baotorium termo. A drop of this pntrid material under the micro scope reveals many thousands of them, aoting nnder a peculiar vibratile motion What we truly and earnestly aspire to be that In some sense we are. The mere aspiration, by changing the frame of the mind for the moment, realises it self. Mrs. Jameson. The manuscripts of Fenelon show no change.

Remarkable Cases nf Its Occurrence la and EnYct an Human llndles, Modical litiTiitnro of this country ns well ns that of England nnd continental Ettropo relates many rcmarknhlu in stances of tho spontaneous combustion of tho human liody. In nil such cases, which nro tho moro interesting on ne count of their comparntivo rarity, tho victim hits liecn aperson addicted to tlm Immoderate uso of spirituous liquors, either ns n beverage or In tho form of n bath. Littlo by littlo nil tho water nnd other liquids of tho body nro replaced by alcohol, nud then nil that is itircssnry to cause n catastrophe is to find somo means of applying flamo totliospiritons gases which nro escnplng from every poro. Occasionally the breath of the poor victim is fired whilo lighting a pipo or a cigar, or it may Iwi that n flamo comes in contact with nnd lighti tho nlcoholio vapors which nro escaping from somo other portion of tho body. When onen tho flro is npplied, a bluish flamo extends very rapidly to nil parti of tho body, leaving it n shapeless mass, of churred flesh nnd calcined bones. In mnny instances attempts have been made to extinguish tho flames with wa ter, but nl ways without success.

The Kmrllsh Drummer Compered With If It Fellow Salesman In America, Tho commercial trnveler in England is littlo difforont from his American brother, pursuing the same line of pol icy in "getting there" so far as securing trade is concerned. His invariable rulo, however, is thnt his first price given to a locnl merchant is his last and only one. Thero is no going in tho morning with an offiT nnd then in tho afternoon with nn extra inducement to mnko the trndo.
