Shorta In a Cornrr, ! “Yes.” said young Mr. Bashful to h/s best girl, “the stock market has been through considerable excitement of : late.” “Ob, yes,” the girl responded, eager to ake part in conversation on a topic which interested her Adolphus. “1 | have read a lot about it in the paper i all about those dreadful bulls and | bears and things.” ' “Yes” Adolphus went on; "they got ■the shorts in a corner and effectually i squeezed them.” i “Did they?” I: “Yes.” “1 -think,” the demure maid added, , after a few minutes’ meditation, “that j if ever 1 become a speculator I shall be ■ a short.” i A few minutes later she found it was j not necessary to speculate in stock in order to be treated as a "short.”—Pitts- , burg Commercial Gazette. The I.emoa. The lemon contains various acids, citric acid among them, with citrate of potash, and these acids oxidize in the i blood Into carbonates of potash and j carbonic acid. As scurvy is believed to t>e due to a lack of potash salts in the blood, we see how substances like lem- ' ons, potatoes andjresh vegetables generally act ns preventives of the aili meat. Also in rheumatism, in which i It Is desirable to maintain the alkaline i character of the blood, lemons nrc of service. Beyond this I do not think ■ anybody can vaunt the properties of the fruit. A healthy person has no j more need of lemons than of, say, tea I for his ordinary food will supply him I with all that Is necessary for the I maintenance of a sound body. People : who talk about lemons ns “good for the I liver,” nnd so forth, found their belief .rather on faith than on knowledge.— 1 London Chronicle.

I I Jtrftsf nnJ 1-iUwninn. Artists have many amusing and some unpleasant experiences when trespassing in pursuit of subjects for their art. When Mr. Boughton once saw a man plowing in a Held, he climbed the <ll- - viding wall and began to sketch him. 1 This was too much for the Involuntary model, who strode up to the artist and 1 said. “Do you know what I could do ’ i with you?” "I haven’t the slightest I Idea,” Mr. Boughton answered, witli a s smile. “Well.” the burly plowman said. “I could chuck you into the road.” “You'd better not do that,” Mr. Boughton ret toi'ted. "Why not go back to your plow, and I'll whistle for you In halt an hour?” r i To Mr. Boughton's surprise the mnn ‘ j obeyed and half au hour later was duly summoned to inspect the finished pie1 ture. “How much will they give you for that?” he asked ttfter critically i surveying the sketch. "Oh, about . £lo'.” the artist answered. "Well, I'm hanged!” the astonished plowman said, scratching his head in perplexity. “1 have to plow two months before I can earn as much as that.” —Tit-Bits. When Curates Were Wanted. I When one learns that curates an- increasing so much more rapidly than benefices, wonder is excited as to the condition of affairs in the eighteenth century, when enterprising ladies of- ‘ sered livings to clergymen willing to ■ marry them. An advertisement to this effect appeared in the London Chroul- > cle in March, 1758. The lady was rathIj er particular too. The curate was to - be young, have a small fortune, be well recommended as to morals and good temper "and lie firmly attached to the present happy establishment.” The I living was not rich—below £IOO per an- . num—but the fair one was young and ' agreeable. There seems a touch of j humility In the direction that answers "may be left at the bar of the Union | Coffee House, Strand, directed to Z. | Z.” Confidence was created by the as- ; i surance that "the utmost secrecy and honor may be depended upon."—London Chronicle. Where the Color Line End>. There may be mulattoes, quadroons and octoroons, but the eighth blooded negro is the last possibility in that progression. N'o one has ever seen, as far as we can learn, a human being of onesixteenth negro blood. No pure blooded Caucasian and octoroon have been known to have issue. Many years ago, just after the close of the civil war, when Bishop Newman was advocating the amalgamation idea in New Orleans, one of the most famous physicians and ethnologists of that city offered a reward of SI,OOO to any person who would briaig to his knowledge a human being of one-sixteenth negro blood. No one ever claimed the reward. That particular product no man has ever yet found on earth. From the octoroon the reversion to type is the only available direction.—Atlanta Constitution. Exce*«lve Politenena. There is a man who is always apologizing, and some say: “How courteous he is! How thoughtful! 'A born gentleman!” Know that he is a thorough and aggressive egotist. He runs against you. he steps on your foot, lie,tries to pass you on the left, be knocks your hat as he hangs by a strap in the car, he sits on your coattail—what does he not do to call attention to his own breeding? Sometimes he throws the accent on "beg,” sometimes on "pardon.” The speech is merely a rhetorical flourish, and be has practiced all the variations.—Boston Journal.

(<maiuu|>llon and Sulphur. A German physician recommends to consumptives the sulphur treatment. This consists in the patient living in rooms where one or two drams of sulphur are melted daily on a hot stove. The first ten days there will be felt Increased irritation and cough. These soon decrease, and improvement is rapidly felt, ami complete cures are often effected if the disease is uot too far advanced. Mice mid Peppermint. K. M. Mikbailoff, a Russian chemist, has discovered that mice have a peculiar dislike to the odor of peppermint He places small pledgets of cotton saturated with peppermint oil in openings made by the mice, and they do not show up for some time. Later the mice make an attempt to return, but the peppermint oil Is once more used, and the mice don’t came back. Haw Bas, British Loafer. A Hindoo baker s assistant in Bombay, on setting up in business for bimaelf. bethought hi ra of catering for tho English community as well as for tho native one. With this end in view he bad the following notification painted over his doorway: •Ram Bux solicits respectful patronage. He is a first class British loafer.” Conden.ed New. Fro.
