Yet there are nominal Americans whose ©ole object in life is to imitate English society or gain an entrance into it.

If it was not for his c uriosity to know what will happen next in this world, a man would not be so unwilling to die. It is curiosity a 3 much as hope that makes a man interested in to morrow. The motto of a new paper in Georgia, printed in black type on its first page, is this: “If you don’t like it pour it back in the jug.” The editor, in all probability, is not a moonshiner now. Prof. Garner, having discovered that monkeys possess an articulate language, will confer a favor on the world by reporting what the monkeys say of the people who poke canes and parasols into their cages. The nations of the earth see a mighty good example in the way that John Bull and Brother Jonathan settle the seal question. Their heads are level, and both English and American women can continue to wear seal-skin idoaks.

An Atchison girl has a tear bottle that she cries into. When it is fall, she will send it to her lover as a proof of her grief at his absence. It is hoped that it will not become a fad. Girls are too nice and pretty to spoil everything by going around crying into bottles.

Just as wood was giving out coal was discovered, just as whale oil was about exhausted petroleum was found, and now just as we have about given up hope of being angels Mr. Maxim assures us that his flying machine will soon be ready. The Prince of Wales nor no other man occupying exalted place could have carried on his excesses and held his place in good society in the United States. The public press would have roasted him and served him done, long ago. The English press is doing a good deal of roasting as the case stands.

How much better off is a man at the end of a week than he was at its beginning ? He is just as poor, a little older, a little more tired out, a little more irritable, and a little less hopeful. If he ever sits down and reckons it all up, he is either a hopeful fool or a very brave man if he continues cheerful. A Baltimore surgeon has restored a man’s eye to usefulness after a supposed blindness of three years by putting new lining in the eyelid. He found the material for this on the man’s own person, a process involving much less suffering than cutting samples to match from willing but unfortunate friends. That young minister at St. Catherines, Ontario, who ordered a crying baby to be removed from his church, may not have committed heresy, but he has at least struck a hornet’s nest. And yet there is a precedent. It was Charles Lamb, was it not, who when disturbed by a vociferous infant, suggested the drinking of a toast to Herod?

If you are thinking of getting married, make up your mind to meet a great many troubles and disappointments. It is this making a hero of a plain plug man, and an angel of an ordinary womaa, that is the cause of so much disappointment and divorce. The disilluson process is always a painful one.
