Harper's Magazine. The man who tries to take advantage of the ignorance of another occoasionallv gets a Roland for his Oliver. A Boston man once, in England, seeing a laborer digging flints out of chalk, pompously asked him if he thought they grew. “Sure,’’was the reply, “I know they do.’’ “Then put some flint on a table, and see how much it grows in a year." “And you. sir,” said the laborer, “put a potato on the table,and see how much it grows in a year.’’ Mrs. Cleveland has a pleasant little dusldtfl of taking the President out riding every afternoon. He goes as her guest, and on these occasions leaves all business cares behind him. To make the President feel that he is entirely his wife' guest, Mrs. Cleveland always ust her own carriage and coachman. The mistress of the White House has a complete equipage of her own. and even the monogram on the harness and the carriage door is hers, and the letters are F. F. C.—Francis Folsom Cleveland. On these occasions Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland go alone. They are not even bothered by Baby Ruth, and the drive is generally as far into the country as the length of the afternoon will permit.
