Th) Baron tlimks that, taking what is left in other parte of the world - with the Chinese coal are i, we need not fear a fuel famine. He thinks that the supply in the Chinese province of Shansi alone will last the world about - £,200 . A* I years. - i A customer takvs back to a tailor a pair of trousers which are a perfect misfit. The knight of the shears is overwhelmed with grief and surprise. “O, never mind,” says the customer; “you’ll be able’ to work ’em off on some one ' else.” “It is not the loss of the pantaloons that affects me," says the tailor haughtily; “It is an artist’s sorrow at his failure-of which you are the uncomprehending spectater !”• Paris Paper.
