Nevertheless it to interesting to exhume some of them ancient jokes und to recognize in them the ancestors of the things at which we laugh today In the pages of our humorous publications. Some humorous writers dearly love to make fun of the absentminded, unpractical university professor, who outside of his own subject lets his wits wander and Is very slow to grasp anything in ordinary life. Such jokes as these were cracked centuries ago by the students and graduates of the great universities In ancient Greece, for tt to a mistake to rappore that what wo aow call "college life" was unkaowa to the aadenta. As a matter of feet, the student at the University of Athens er at the Ifeiveraity of Alexandria was vary much the ram* sort of mortal as is the etadaat today, and hia profereore WtM aai so very different. A Witty Greet aamod Hieredes, a graduate of Aiexitadrta. eelleeted some time in fits fifth ceattay a volume es jests whfeh were earrent among the students with regard to the wreimthering typo of professor.

A professor thereupon, meeting the survivor. asked.-"Is it you that died or your brother T A professor, learning that a raven would live for more than 200 years, bought one to test the matter. A professor, wishing to cross a river, went on board the boat on horseback. When some one asked the reason he answered that he wanted to get over in a hurry. A professor, looking out of the window of a house which he bad bought asked the passersby whether the house was becoming to him. A professor, meeting another pro fessor, said, “I heard you were dead.* “And yet" replied the other, "you see that I am still alive.” “Wen.’’ said the first in perplexity, “I don’t know what to believe, for the man who told me about it is a much more truthful man than you!” ■ - A professor, in danger of being ship- I wrecked, called for his tablets that he might make his will. Seeing thereupon his slaves lamenting their fate, be ■Eld, “Do not grisva, for 1 am going te act you free." A professor dreamed that he had trodden on-a nail .and that the wound pained hita. On waking he bound up his foot Another professor,, having foaraed the reuse, remarked. "It served you right, for why do you sleep without sandals?" A professor, meetiag a doctor, hid himself behind a wall. Some one askiUg the cause, he answered. "I have not been sick for so long a time I am ashamed to eome into the sight «“• ; physician." ' A professor, wishing to teach his horse to be a small eater, gave him no food at all. At length, the horse having starved to death, the professor exclaimed, "I have suffered a great loss, for just is he had learned not tp eat he died!" A professor, visiting a sick person, inquired about his health. The invalid, however, was not able to reply. Thereapon the profeesor, being angry and scolding the man. said, “I hope that 1 shall be sick some of these days, and then when you come to ask bow I am 1 will net answer.” A profeeeor sealed up a vessel Os wtae which be had bought Hto servWH having made a bote to the vessel beneath and drawn off some of the Wine, the professor was astonished to •m the contents diminished while the seals remained unbroken.

"Grace” said Mr. Skinner one day some mooths after this, “a man came into the office the other day and sold me a bottle of some stuff for getting grease out of clothes, ('ye «pin«d aotht gravy ok tuy coat You’ll find the extractor to my bedroom closet 1 wish you’d bring It and take out the gravy.” Grace brought a box containing a white paste and a small bottle.

The mixture formed a fyothy substance, which, an further application of the liquid, was easily rubbed away. But the grease spot remained. It occurred to Mr. Skinner that be I had been done by the man who had! sold him the grease eradicator.

A few weeks after this hia daughter reminded him that the year he had accorded her lover to make the dollar he had given him sprout was about to expire. Mr. Skinner remarked contemptuously that the dollar had doubtless long ago gone for cigarettes.
