For instance, she writes: “In 1816 no young English lady ven tured to waltz. The Duke o" Devonshire returned fronva tour in Germany and observed one evening at a large ball that a woman was never seen to better advantage than when waltzing. I do not know whether he was anxious to play a trick, but he repeated this assertion several times. It was passed from mouth to mouth, and at the next ball all the young ladies were waltzing. The duke admired them greatly, said that it was delightful and gave proper animation to a ball. He then added carelessly that he, at any rate, had decided never to marry a lady who waltzed. It was to the Duchess of Richmond and at Carlton House that he saw fit to make this revelation. The poor duchess, the most clumsy of matchmaking mammas, nearly fell off her chair with horror. She repeated the statement to her neighbors, who passed it on, and consternation spread from seat to seat The young ladies continued to waltz with clear consciences. The old ladles were furious, but the unfortunate dance was concluded. Before the end of the evening the good Duchess of Richmond was able to announce that her daughters felt an objection to waltzing which no persuasion of hers could ever overcome. Some few girls of more Independence continued to waltz, but the majority gave it up.” After the Honoymoen. “Pa,” inquired a small boy on the Oakland boat, “what’s a simoon?” “Huh!” grunted the man without looking from his paper. “Simoon’s sand storm on the dessert, dreaded by travelers.” “And. pa, what’s a honeymoon?” “Honeymoon’s rice storm on a train, enjoyed by travelers.” “Then a honeymoon’s something like a simoon, ain’t it, pa?” “Guess so. Keep quiet Don’t ask so many fool questions. Look at the sea gulls.” "But ain't they a good deal alike, pa —simoons and honeymoons?” “Ugh, huh, both full of hot air! Most honeymoons become simoons in a fewyears. When the honey’s gone the sigh's left.” “Pa, were you ever on a honeymoon?” “Percy, if you don’t stop pestering me with questions I’ll never bring you over to the city again." “Well, ma said she had a honeymoon, and it was like a dream, and all the rest of It’s been a nightmare San Francisco Chronicle.

S Little Too far. “There is such a thing as overdoing : your part,” declared a man of the law who now has the knowledge gained by much experience. “Shortly after I began practice iu the west I was called upon to defend a mau who had drawn a revolver on another and threatened to kill him. The accused did not have r character above reproach, but the prosecuting witness was also shady in reputation, and I made the most of this fact. I pictured hhu as a desperado of the most dangerous type, a man that was a constant menace to the community and one who would recognize no other law than that of force. Such men as he, I insisted, made necessary the organization of vigilance committees and injured the fair name of the west among the older communities of the country. “The jury returned a verdict of guilty and my man was sentenced to a year’s imprisonment. As soon as court adjourned the foreman of the jury camo to me and said: ‘Young feller, you spread it on too After that there rip snortin' speech of yourn we couldn’t do nothin’ else ’an what we done.’ “ ‘I don’t understand you, sir.’ “‘You don't? Why, we found the durned gcrloot guilty ’cause he didn’t shoot’ ’’—Detroit Free Press. Loading Freight by Cards. “I don’t know whether the practice is still kept up in the far south, but I remember how tickled I was at seeing the method used In loading goods into freight cars down in Mississippi some while ago,” said a railroad man of St. Louis. “A lot of strapping black fellows will be on the job under the supervision of a white man, who will be Issuing orders with great volubility. ‘Put this aboard the king of diamonds; take this to the ace of hearts; load this on the ten of spades; this to the jack of ciubs,’ and so on, and then you'li notice each one of the long line of freight cars has tacked on It some one of the fifty-two cards composing a full deck. The Senegambian loafers for the most part were ignorant of letters and figures, but every man of them knew the pasteboard emblems which he had often handled in games of seven up. That next to craps is the chief diversion of the colored sports of Dixie.”—Baltimore American. Cruel Spring. The talk in the village hostelry had been on the subject of vegetable freaks, but at length it veered round to goats. "Did ever you keep a goat, Bill?” inquired a gray whiskered gentleman in a corner seat. “Did I ever!” answered the little man addressed with rustic familiarity. “I bought one last Christmas what nearly brought me to the work'us. Eat anything, from tins o’ blackin’ to flatirons, that goat would. Lucky thing for me the spring killed It.” “I didn’t know the seasons affected goats,” observed the gray whiskered gentleman. “Who’s talkin’ about seasons?” came the reply. "I- was the spring of our alarm clock what ’e made a meal of one day ns done it!”—London Express.
