Nelther Was Any Good. ‘*A little fellow of ouracquaintance," says Moonshine, "just turned 4, is reâ€" markable for his philosophical way of viewing things in general. Coming inâ€" doors the other day from playing in the garden, he strolled into the reception room, where he espied a strange lady. â€""I bin,"" replied White, ‘"but I reckâ€" on the hand hain‘t." Farmer White was not especially inâ€" quisitive, but he was not altogether deâ€" void of a certain amount of curiosity regarding the affairs of his neighbors, and before the two reached their destiâ€" nation he had learned several important facts relative to young Bugford. White speculated on the surprise in store for. Bugford, and he chuckled inâ€" wardly as he thought of the joy and amazement Ped‘s sudden return would bring to the parents. _As Ped came toward her she looked at him keenly, then set the pan of milk upon the ground, ber form trembl_ing. ‘"‘He don‘t know him, by jing!‘ chuckled White inwardly. The two walked on in the direction of Bugford‘s. ¥¥3 Among other things he learned that Ped had perfected a most valuable piece of machinery which he had been workâ€" ing on for years, and having patented his invention he had disposed of it to a wealthy firm in Chicago for & snug forâ€" tune and was coming home to share it with his aged parents. As they arrived before the farmhouse they saw Mrs. Bugford coyning from the springhouse carrying a pan of milk. _ ‘"It‘s Poed!"‘ she said in an agitated voice. She took his hands and kissed him. Then he put his arms about her neck, while the tears ran down his cheeks. ‘‘Ye have growed so," sho said, holding him at arm‘s length and gazing fondly into his face. s s They stood talking for some moments. Some of the little ducks that were runâ€" ning about the yard came up, and pouncâ€" ing into the pan of milk began to swim about in the liveliest manprer. ‘"Where‘s father?‘ asked Ped. ‘"In the house eatin his breakfast. Come, let‘s go in." She stooped to pick up the pan. "‘Them ducks have sp‘iled the milk," she said, emptying ducks and milk out into the grass. Silas was sitting at the table eating his breakfast when the three entered. ‘"‘No, I haven‘t," said Ped, taking a seat at the table. s Now, the doctor had just brought Master Cyril a new little brother, with Whom he was told he would always be able to play. â€" When therefore he saw another stranger, who seemed as if she, too, had come to stay, he sauntered past her, with his hands in his pockets, and, glancing at her in a casual sort of a way, contemptuously remarked to himâ€" self, but in a tone loud enough to be heard by the visitor: And Not James, ‘"Why,"" asked the lay figure, "do you call it a jimmy?"

The chief fingor nail chewers of the world are the French, and it was reâ€" cently stated upon reliable authority that nearly twoâ€"thirds of French school children are addicted to the habit. Even for grown people there is hardâ€" ly any habit, aside from the confirmed abuse of narcotics, more difficult to overcome than the habit of biting the finger nails. It requires a strong mental effort and constant vigilance to do this, for once a person has become thoroughâ€" ly addicted to the habit he does it unâ€" ronsciously, and is only reminded that he is marring himself when he gets one of his nails gnawed down to the quick. All manner of remedies have been adâ€" wanced for the cure of the finger nail biting habit, including the placing of injurious and bitter compositions on the ends of the fingers, but none of the remâ€" edies amounts to much. The only way to stop biting the finâ€" ger nails is to stop. The Americans are next to the French in the finger nail biting habit, probably becauseâ€" the Americans, as a whole, are an exceedâ€" ingly nervous people. A man who acâ€" complishes his determination to knock off biting his finger nails may, by inâ€" cessant manicuring, get them to look fairly well within a year or so, but finâ€" ger nail biting, if long persisted in, ruins the shape of the ends of the finâ€" gers, and the nails can never be brought to look as well as those of the persons who permit their nails to grow as they were intended to grow.â€"Washington Star. Too Much For Watson. Only once did Watson, when a captain, never fail to punish a man for intoxicaâ€" tion. This was in the summer of 1893 at Boston, when the San Francisco took the Massachusetts naval militia on its first practice cruise. Among the regular crew was old Alexander Parker, sailmaker‘s mate, who was never known to remain sober when there was liquor to be had. When the naval militiamen came on board a witty boatswain‘s mate, while no officer was near, sang out in an authoritative tone: Asked For a Shirt and Got a Wife. During the civ® war there was a corâ€" tain young lady in Georgetown who found it in her power to do a great deal for the Confederate soldiers confined in prison at Washington. Young, beauâ€" tiful, cultured, popular, of a wealthy and prominent family, she was freâ€" quently allowed admission to the prisâ€" on, whither she always took her maid with a well stocked basket of good things for the poor boys behind the bars. One day as she was passing through a group of men in the common prison she stopped and said to them: ‘*All you men having whisky on board lay below and turn it in to the sailmaker‘s mate for safe keeping." Many amateur sailors took the bait, and in a few minutes old Aleck, sitâ€" ting down below decks in his sailroom, was surprised to have a vast collection of flasks passed to him. He received all these as gifts with many thanks. He was found a day after sound asleep in his sailroom, literally covered with empty bottles of every size and shape. He was finally taken before the captain, to whom was told the circumstances. "Parker,"‘ said he sternly, "I have no words with which to discuss your case. Go forward."‘â€"New York Times. Corn Bread. There is no more wholesome, palataâ€" ble and strengthening article of food in the whole catalogue than corn bread. It is truly the staff of life of the rural laâ€" boring classes in the south from year‘s beginning to year‘s end. Among the brawniest, toughest men in the country are the hands who work on the turpenâ€" tine farms in Georgia. Their regular rations consist of one peck of cornmeal, five pounds of bacon and a pint of moâ€" lasses per week. These articles constiâ€" tute pretty nearly if not quite their whole bill of fare during the time they are in the woods cutting or chipping boxes or dipping turpentine, yet they are always well conditioned, hard of muscle and in good spirits.â€"Savannah (Ga.)

European nations vary very greatly in their consumption of bread. The greatest flour eater in the world is the Frenchman, who consumes nearly two pounds a day, or 705 pounds a year.

Dr. Philips Brooks of Boston. Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes was fishing one day in the yacht of Csptain Cook of East Glouâ€" cester. In conversation, Câ€"ptain Cook informed Drs. Holmes that the last fisherman who hired the boat wes Dr. Brooks. ‘He was very pleasant comâ€" pany,‘ Captain Cook was kind enough to say, ‘but he swore & deal for a clergy â€" man.‘ ‘He did what ? inquired Dr. Holmes, sghast. ‘(He swore,‘ stoutly reiterated Captain Cook. ‘Oh,uonsonse!
