Signs of Weakness.

“My dear,” said Mr. Snigginbottom to his wile, one day at tbe table, as he valiantly straggled to iarvd a piece of meat, “Why do the butchers put these miserable wooden pins into the roasts? Evesy time I try to carve off a slice I strike on oue of them.” * “1 do not know, dear, unless the meat is more skewer that way,” responded Mrs. Snigginbottom. “Maria, I think you had better see a physician at once. I am afraid overwork is affecting your mind. I guess I will go for one now,” and started off on a run for a doctor.—Texas Sifting s.
