It will le dlUlcult to discover an old er practical Joke than that or tin cop persmith and the maker of lirnzen im age for the temple of Osiris, which 1 embodied In Egyptian inscriptions dat ing from the reign of .Mem, founder of Memphis, who ruled over 7.ih yenrs ago. According to ancient rec ords, there dwelt between these two craftsmen a quiet man whose desire was for peace aud who was midly dis turbed by the noisy occupations car ried on by hU" busy neighbors. He therefore nuked each of them to say for what sum they would change their dwellings. This they did. Each calcu lated the amouut required, und bu, be ing satlstled, paid It over to them. "Now." he asked of the coppersmith, "where Is your new dwelling?" "I have taken that of tho maker of Im ages." was the reply. "And you." queried the quiet man of the latter, "whither goest thou?" "To the house of the coppersmith!" This Is one of many tales told lu all ages which are woven Into myth and legend and differ only In local color. H Needed the Clerk.

Meeting Campbell, be said: "That was a nlco piece of petty lar ceny." Tut, tut, Mr. Scott," said Campbell; "my committee needed a clerk worse than yours." Then, with twinkling eyes, he continued. "You are a mil lionaire and can afford to hire half a dozen clerks, while I must go to the government for clerical assistance." The ready reply amused Scott. The two men were always the best of friends thereafter. Groat Luck. , "Did Tom have any luck bunting ti gers In India?" "Yes; great luck." "How?" "Ho didn't meet any tigers." His tnlk was llko a stream which runs With rapid change from rock to rosea; It slipper from politics to puns; It passed from Mahomot to Moses; Beginning with tho laws that keop Tho planots lit their radiant courses, And ending with some precept deep For dressing eels or shoeing horses.
