THE LITTLE PEOPLE,.

The last definition of scandal ever given, according to Arthur Helps, wag that of the little girl who described it thus: "Nobody does nothing, and everybody goes on telling it everywhere." ,.r "V, ••How do you get along with your arithmetic? asjeed fisher of l}ialittle boy, who answered and said: "I've cyphered through addition, partition^ subtraction, distraction, abomination, justification, hallucination, derivation, amputation, creation and adoption

As two country lads were passing a druggist's establishment where a sign was exhibited which bad oo it the words "Congress water," one asked the other what sort of water that was? "Why, you fool/' replied bis com pan ion, "that's #nat they spout at con greas."

A school haMing bd^rt required to write a composition on some part of the human body, expounded as follows: "The throat—a throat is convenient to have, especially, to roosters and ministers. The former eats' corn Sand crows with it the latter preaches through his'n and then ties it up«^

A little girl in a New York orphan asylum, who was punished forscratching another little girl's face, by being required to learn verse from the Bible, was allowed to make her own selection, and chose the first verse of Psalm J44: "Blessed be the Lord, my strength, which teacheth my bands to war, and my fingers to fight."

Josh Billi.iga nays "When I was a little boy and wore naked feet, and was loafing around loose lor strawberrys, I was oftentimos lost agoing to step on a striped snaik, but it always cured me ov staawherrys. If a striped snaik got into a 10-akro lot before I did. I alwus konsidsred that all the strawberrys in that lot belonged tew the snaik." "Willie," said a doting parent at the breakfast table to an abridged edition of himself, and who had just entered the grammar clpss at the high school, "Willie, my dear, will you pass the butter?" "Tblrtainly, thir—takes

"Yes, sir, I bad a fight to-day, too "You had Which whipped "Oh, I got whipped," he replied with great frankness. "Was the other boy bigger than you? "No, ho was littler." "Woll, how came you to let a littler boy whip you "O, you see, he was madder nor I was." "Sam," said an Interesting young mother to her youngest hopeful, *'do you know what the difference is between the bodvand the soul? The soul, iny child, is what you love with, the body carries you about. This is body (touching the little fellow's shoulders and arms,) but there is something deeper in, you can feel It now. What is that?"' "Oh! I know,"said Sam, with a flush of intelligence in his eyes, "that's my flannel shirt."

I onco knew an Industrlons boy whose parents wore poor but honest. He had a wart on his nose and a sor toot but nothing daunted, ho worked with determination and will, backed by perseverance and energy, and nobly fought his way along, eurmountiug ovory obstnclo.

ONE Georgo WoodrufTe, was the other day. a dirty, greasy, impecunious dishwasher, at a fouth-rate SanJ Francisco restaurant: to-day he la a millionaire —a six millionaire, in fact. One day, while reading a morning newspaper, his attention was attracted to an ndvertisemont headed "Personal," stating that one of hia name wonld find It to his advantage to addreas a certain party id Natf York. The name was familiar to him, and MMfldiidid to anawer the advertisement. He did so, giving hia add raps, and in due time received a letter stating that his ancle bad died in

York, leaving property to the ant or ftt,00(1.000 which the deceased had willed to him. He was astonished andcoqid hardly believe that the news Was

A French auditor of accounts In the seventeenth century was a great practical jokor all his life, and even played a trick after ha had lost power ol enjoying It, tor he left fbur candles to b© carried at hi* funeral, which had not been burning fifteen minutes before tbey went olt'ns lire-works.

A HEA UTtFl'L EXPERIMENT.

The following beautirul chemical experiment may W easily performed by a lady, to the great astonishment of a circle at her t«a party: Take two or throo Ifearea of red cabbage, cut them Into arnall blta, put them into a baain, and pour a pint of boiling water on them let It stand an hour, then pour it off Into a decanter. It will be a fine blue color. Then take four wlnc glassea into one put six drope of strong vinegar: Into another alx drops of solution of soda into the third a strong solution of alum, and letthe fourth remain empty. The glasses may be prepared some .time before, and the raw drops o» colorices liqaid that have been placed in them will not be notie*rt. Fill up (be glarses from the dccautev and the liquid pcured Into the gtasfc containing the aci-i will beootuo a beautiful red ,tb« ghuj oofttaininf the »oda will become a fine green that twured into the empty ©no will remala unchanged. By adding a little vinegar to the green it will immediately change to a red, and on ad dinar a little solution of sodalo the red It will assume a fine green, thus showing Vbe actioa ol aqfete and alkaiiea on vegetable bltte*. „,

'PRACTICAL JO A'/i&

The ancients used to Indulge In practical jokes to a considerable extent. For Instance, Thraclans, at their driuking parties, sometime played the game of hanging. They fixed a round nooso to the bough ot tree, and placed underneath it a stone of such a shape that it would easllv turn round when any one stood on it. Then they drew lots, and he who drew the lot took a sickle in his hand, stood on the stone, and put his nock Into the halter. The atone was then kicked awav If he could cut himself down with his sickle, well and h1 but if he was not quick enough,

was hangOd outright and the rest ^d, thinking It good sport, tyrant Nero's lesta were likewise practical. "What a fellow that
