HUMOR.

When a man has poor cousins his relations with them are usually strained. The “Three Classes” in English society of which we hear so much are the Nobs, Snobs, and Mobs. The Mobs are the rising class. O, those French! A Paris sausagemaker displays in his window a placard announcing “Every link carefully inoculated by Dr. Pasteur!” The painter and the bootblack each earn a living in the same manner—by a dexterous use of the brush.

If we remember our schoolboy days we think the birch made that impression. — Maverick.
