Brinzinß Ker Round. Bingo (tip'.o-'.iig into his wife's room, in a whisper)-I've brought three friends home to dinner unexpectedly. Mrs. Bingo (ugliastp-What! Bingo—Yes, I have. They’re dqyvn stairs. Mrs. Bingo—You wretch! Bingo— Now. my dear, I couldn't get out of it. Mrs. Bingo (haughtily)—Then you’ll have to take the consequences. Bingo—ButMrs. Bingo—You’ll have to put up with practically nothing. Bingo—That’s what I told them. Mrs. Bingo—You did? • Bingo Yes. 1 told them that they needn't expert a single thing; that we’d scrape round in the kitchen if necessary and pick up whatever we could, and that, as I hadn't let you know, that was the best we could do. Mrs. Bingo—What did you tell them that for? Bingo—lt’s the truth, isn’t it? Mrs. Bingo—Certainly not. As if it makes any difference to me how many friends you bring home! I'll show you!—London Tit-Bits. A Rnowitorm Indoon. On a very clear, cold night au even Ing party was given in a salon in Stockholm, Sweden. Many people were gathered together tn a single room, and It became so warm in the course of the evening that several ladies complained of feeling ill. An attempt was made to raise a window, but the sashes had been frozen in their place, and it was Impossible to move them. lu this situation, as it was absolutely necessary that air should be admitted, a pane of glass was smashed out. A cold current at once rushed in, and at the same instant flakes of snow were seen to fall to the floor in all parts of the room. The entrance of a frosty current into an atmosphere which was saturated with moisture hud produced u snowfall indoors.—Nature. Fn«y to Settle. A famous lawyer once had a singular case to settle. A physician came to him in great distress. Two sisters, living in the same bouse, had butties of equal age, who so resembled each other that their own mothers were unable to distinguish them when tliey were together. Now, It happened that by the carelessness of the nurses the children had become mixed, and bow were the mothers to make sure that they received back their own infants? “But. perhaps," said the lawyer, "the children weren’t changed nt all.” “Oh, but there’s no doubt they wore changed!” said the physician. “Arc you sure of it?” “Perfectly.” “Well, if that’s the case, why don't you change them back again? i don't see any difficulty in the ease.”

I There has never been a more inter- , esting and entertaininglecturer before i a Decatur audience than Father Nugent who for two hours Saturday night swayed a large crowd at Bosses i opera house at his will. His subject ( was “The lever of Archimedes,” and the learned man knew well his points, : driving thaught after thaught into the brain of his ordinary listeners with I good effect. The discourse was full of such knowledge as is only gained by a lifetime of study and work aud ) those who attended had the benefit |of his many years of resarch for a small sum. He may rest assure that w henever he cares to come to Decatur ’I he will find many people glad of an II opportunity to hear him. The lecture f i was given by the C. B. L. and we are ’ glad to note that they were financially > successful. It is probable that they | will give a series of lectures here next > year and among the list wiil be some of the worlds most noted men. ' A Japanese on Jnpnne.e Women. Among ibe Japanese women a ceriain number have no reason to envy the European ladies in the matter of purely white skins. When that whiteness is slightly rose colored. It Is in Japanese eyes the ne plus ultra of • beauty. Unfortunately, that beauty soon fades. The proportion of white I skinned women is about one In ten. It ! Is needless to say that this whiteness 1 is held in high esteem As the proverb | has It. “A white skin covers seven misfortunes,” a rather doubtful Japanese 1 way of appreciating its loveliness.— 1 Paris Figaro.
