—A Philadelphian has invented a
flying machine of a new kind, with
which he will soon experiment. Why

—A soft answer. “Whenever I can
find a donkey with a loud enough voice
and long enough ears,” he growled,
‘•I’ll brln» him up here and let him
argue with you.” “Well, my dear,”
she replied sweetly, “what subject do
you want to discuss?”— N. Y. Graphic.
—At last we know why “uneasy lies
the head that wears a crown.” A new
ly arrived chiropodist from the old
country announces himself as late corn
doctor to the court of Germany, and
tells us he has removed corns from sev
eral of the crowned heads of Europe.—
Life.
—A young man denounces straw bon
nets “because they chafe his ears.”
Here, now, is a question for scientists.
Can they explain how it is that a bon
net worn by one person can chafe the
ears of another person not wearing it?
Eh? How’s that? O—well, well, now
that may be. How stupid not to see it
before.— Foreign Ex.

(with a cough)—Yes, I uoticfd you
among them. — Chicago TribCne.
—Brown was ruminating on Archim
edes and his lever. “Old Archimedes
had a long head when he said he could
raise the world if he had a long enough
lever,” he said to Burns. “Well, fairly
so,” was the reply, “but I have done
better.” “How so?” “Raised some
money with my lever.” “Whatdo you
mean?” “Pawned my watch.”— Bum
bler.
—The mistress of a large establish
ment. starting out on a “shopping ex
pedition, ” asked the cook what she
would bring her from the city. The
cook replied, “I’d like mighty well to
have a pah er fine shews, please,
ma’am.” She was asked What size she
wore. “I kin wah numbah threes easy,
but on account ob de size ob my feet,* I
reckon ye bettah git me number nine.”
