A bath was ordered. It was brought into the chamber where the invalid lay. He looked at it hard for some time, and then he threw up his hands and bawled Oh, doctor, doetor, I canna drink a' that !" —Freddy had been repeatedly told he must not ask people for nioney. One day he met an old:gentleman who could never resist an appeal from the small boy. "Mr, X—," said Freddy, " do pa ever give three -penny bits to little boys, that don't ask for 'em ?" He got the money. —2" Does the razor pull?" inquired the barber of the man he was shaving. "Well, I should think you had au idea that my face was the earth, and were trying to do some hoeing on it." "Not zactly the earth; but from the amount of cheek, shouldsay about the whole universe," was the withering reply. —A man applied for a vacant situa- tion as footman, &c. "Let us hear What you can do," said the lady of the house. Can you wait at the table? * Do you know how to carve a fowl?"

"I got them whitur they grew, and they're no there noo." "If that's sae, ye've been ower lang pooin' them." —A Scoteh Tit for an English Tat.— An M. D. ofl Edinburgh, not usually given to repartee, whe hails from a Perthshire strath, and practises in what is claimed by its inhabitants to be the second city of the British empire, was twitted by an English lady on the sub- ject of his country. "The Scotch think twice before they speak once, do they noni doctor?" she remarked. "Yes," replied the doctor, "you are quite right; they use their brains more than their tongues." --At a, party given by a great banker, who had made his millions, a lady wit pointed out to her companion, also a banker, the wife of her host, remarking, "What a splendid creature ! She ought -to be a countess." " Oh, yes, beautiful and clever enough," was the reply ; "but perhaps she prefers to be a dist. count-ess.": --An Irish glazier was putting a pane of glass into a -window, when a groom who was standing by began joking him, telling him to mind and put in plenty of putty. The Irishman bore the banter for some time, but at last silenced his tormentor with, " Arrah, now, be off willye, or I'll put a pain in yer head ' without any putty." —The woman who has kept a house- hold cash account straight to a cent for a whole year is going to divide the prize with the man who has always been willing to show his wife every letter he received --when they are both discovered. * , rhe Tip of the Tongue. When we want to assure ourselves, by means of taste, about any unknown object—say a luinp of white stuff, which may be crystal or glass or alum or borax or quartz or rock sale—we put the tip of the tongue ageinst it gingerly. If it begins to burn, we draw it away more or less rapidly, with an Accompaniment in language strictly dependent on our personal habits and manners. 1 The test we thus occasionally apply, even in the civilized adult state, to unknown bodies is one that is being applied every day and all day long by children and sav- ages. Unsophisticated humanity is constantly putting everything it sees up to its mouth in a frank spirit of experi- mental inquiry as to its gustatory pro- perties. In civilized life we find every- thing ready labeled and assorted for us ; we comparatively seldom require to roll the contents of a suspicious bottle (ii very small quantities) doubtfully upon the tongue in order to discover whether it is pale sherry or Chili vinegar, Dub- lin stout or raushroom catsup. Butan- the savage state, from which; geological- ly and biologically speaking,„ we have only just emerged, bottles and labels dov, not exist. Primitive man, therefore, in his sweet simplicity, has only twoniodes open before him for , deciding whether the things he finds are or not strictly 'edible. The first thing he does is to sniff at them ; and smell, being, as Mr. Her- bert Spencer has well put it, an antici- patory taste, generally gives liim some idea ef what the thing is likely to prove. The seccind thing he does is to pop it into his mouth, and proceed praetically to exam- ine its further characteristics. Strictly speaking, with the tip of the tongue one can't really taste at all. If you put a a. man drop of honey or of oil of bitter almonds on that part of the enouth, you will tind, no doubt to your great sur- prise, that it produces no effect of any _sorts you only taste it when it begins sioSvly to diffuse itself, and reaches the trt e tasting region in the mid dle d istance. lint if you put a little cayenne or mus - tai d on the same part; you will find that it bites you immediately ---the experi- ment should be tried sparingly --while if you put it lower down in the mouth you will swallow it almost without noticing the pungency of the stimulant. The reason is that the tip of the tongue is supplied only with nerves which are really nerves of touch, not nerves of tette, proper ; they belong to a totally different main branch, and they go to a different centre in the brain together with the very similar threads which supply the nerves of smell for mustard and pepper, That is why the smell and taste of these pungent substances are so much alike, as everybody must have noticed; a good sniff at a mustard pot producing almost the same irritating ef- fect as an incautious mouthful. The Small Boy. One day I sat in a car seat on the Saugus branch of the Eastern Road be- hind a pale careworn lady who was taking a little boy from Boston to Mal- den. As the little boy was of a very in- quiring mind, and everything seemed to attract his attention, I could not help listening to some of the questiiink% "What is that, -auntie ?" the little boy commenced, pointing to a stack of hay on the marsh. "0, that's hay, dear," answered the careworn lady. "What is hay, auntie ?" "Why, hayis hay, dear." "But what is hay made of ?" "Why, hay is made of dirt, and water, and air." "Who makes it?" "God makes it, dear." "Does He make it in the daytime or night ?" In both, dear." "And Sundays?" "Yes all the time." "Ain't it wicked to day, auntie ?" "0, I don't know. I'd keep still, Willie, that's a dear. Auntie is tired." After remaining quiet a moment little Willie broke out: " Where do stars come from, auntie ?" "I don't know; nobody knows." "Did the moon lay 'em ?" "Yes, I guess so. Don't bother me." Another short silence, when Willie broke out: " Benny says oxins is they ?" " 0, perhaps so." "1 think a whale don't you auntie ?" 0, yes; I guess less woman. "Did you ever nest ?" "0, I guess sa." " Where ?" "1 mean no. Willie, you quiet; I'm getting crazy." "What makes you crazy, auntie ?" "0 dear! you ask so many ques- _ make hay Sun - is an owl, auntie; could lay eggs— so," said the shame - see a whale on his must be tions." " Did you ever see sugar ?" Yes, dear." "Where ?" • "Willie, sit down on the seat and be still or I'll shake you. Now,_ not, an- other word !" And the lady pointed her finger at the little boy as if she were going to stick it through him, If she had been a wicked wornan she would have sworn. There are 8,000,000 little boys like Willie in the United Stateseand half as many in England.—Boston Record. a little fly eat Where is the Difference? An "Old Fernier" in Maine, Writes to the Maine Farmer, that he has seen a farmer's wife in the State, Working in the hay field, and !smoking a "long- stemmed clay pipe," and concludes that no American young man could ever kindly endure such a woman for a wife. We wonder how many American far- mers thought to ask themselves whether a neatly disposed women who does not smoke a tobacco pipe, enjoys living with a husband who is tied to the habit so that he must, smoke not only in the fiold, bat in the kitchen and sitting- _ room. Why is it worse for a woman to smoke a pipe, chew tobacco, drink in- toxicating liquors, or use profane lan- gauage, than for a man to do these things? American Voice and Speech. THE ENGLISH WOMAN'S PRONUNCIATION. There can be no doubt that the voice and speech of American women, as heard in conversation, have both improved within the last five years. There is less of that slovenliness which was so crying a sin a few years ago. The English women, even of the lower class, pro- nounced and articulated and emphasized better than the well-bred, educated Americans; and, as a mass, they do so still ; but we observe amongst educated women a very great improvement with- in a short time, and we must attribute it to the study of elocution, now a fash- ion with our young society. women, The English larynx is stronger, the throat and bronchial membrane less likely to be affected by -perpetual colds there than here, but much is also due to the constant influence of a highly edu- cated class in England; who are always taught pronunciation . and the proper accents, as our girls are taught _music. For instance, we have heard an English governess correct an American pupil by the hour in this simple phrase : Are you going in that di -rection ?" the American girl saying, "Are yu goin' inthatdrecshun ?" while the English- woman -said, slowly, "Are—you—going rection ?" over and over. The pronunciation of the American girl was rapid, slovenly and nasal, disposed torun allthe consonants together, omit- ting the musical and beautiful vowel i, and thus losing the mostliquid sound in English speech. She must hare this thorough training or many years, before the American woman gets command of her voice. It is 8. feeble voice by inheritance and by Climatic influence, and it is an unmusical voice in speaking, simply from careless- ness. Now, we have an example of what can be done with a voice, in pop- ular reader—a min who started with a poor voice, but who has developed a strong, musical and • beautiful one by study and practice. It is the same thing with our young women, as it has become the fashion for them to recite poems and lines of Shakespeare in par- lors. Since they are taught to speak as they are taught to ride, to dance, to play the piano, one's ears begin to be refresh- ed_by that'charming thing, an educated accent, than which there is nothing so refreshing to an ear wearied of hearing, first, the dragging drawl which makes our chief thoroughfare the " Fif thavenu," or the name of one's Maker, pronounced "Oh, Loard !" a compli- ment to the letter "r " which might better be paid to the neglected i." There is nothing which is so interest- ing to everybody as the perfecting of the faculty of- speech. We have an in- valuable inheritance in the possession of the English tongue, the most musical, rich and flexible language in the world —getting to be the universal lariguage, and to woman is committed the invald- able and the exclusive power of improv- ing all inaccuracies, for it is she who teaches the human race to speak. She_ is miraculously endowed when she makes her baby speak his first words; and the world givesher credit, by calling a man's language his mother tongue, for the proud confidence which has been bestowed upon her.—Frank Leslie's Il- lustrated. Hair and Character. It is a fact," said the barber, "that a better idea of character is oftentimes expressed by the beard than by the countenance. The art -of readingchar- acter by the beard is taught as a science in Paris under the name of philo- graphy,' and I understand a book is shortly to be published in which the principles of this science will be given in detail. Did you ever notice that people of very violent temper have always close -growing hair? It's a fact that • every man having close -growing hair is the owner of a decidedly bad temper. It is easy enough for , me to note at a glance how a man's hair grows. Then I know how to handle him.- Men of strong temper are generally vigorous, but at the same time they are not al- ways fixed in their opinions. Now the man with coarse hair is rooted to his prejudices. Coarse hair denotes Obstin- acy. It is not good business policy to oppose a man whose hair is coarse. The _eccentric mai has always fine hair, and you never yet saw a man of erratic ten- dencies, who at the same time had a sound mind, that was not refined in his tastes. Fair hair indicates refinement. You may have noticed that men en- gaged in intellectual or especially in esthetic pursuits, where delicacy is re- quired, have invariably fine, luxuriant hair and beard. The same men, as a class, particularly painters, are always remarkable for their personal peculiar- ities. "The brilliant, sprightly fellow, who, by the way, is almost always superficial, has generally a curly beard: If not, his hair is curly. It's easy to bring a smile to the face of a man whose hair is curly. He laughs where colder natures see nothing to laugh at But that's be cause his mind is buoyant and not deep enough to penetrate to the bottom of things. There is a good deal of differ- ence between coarse,hair and hair that is harsh,though it requires an expert to distinguish it. For example, a man's moustache may be as fine as silk, and yet cannot be trained to grow into a graceful curve: That's because the hair is harsh. Now people whose hair hi harsh have amiable, but cold natures. They are always ready to listen, but it is difficult to arouse their feelings. In men of this disposition the hair on their heads is generally, in fact, almost al- ways, of a shade darker than their' beards. When the beard is full, cover- ing the entire face, the color Varies from a dark shade near the roots to red,1 which colors the ends of the hair. Thetie men have very rarely a good memory. They forget easily, and often leave a cane or an overcoat behind them in a barber's shop. They are great pro- crastinators, and are bad at keeping ap- pointments. Think over your acquaint - elides and see if the man who is habitual- ly slow has not a moustache or beard, of a lighter shade than his hair. It's al- ways the case. These are the men who came in late at the theatre, and get to the station just in time to miss the train. But philography is inscience. It takes years of study and Qbservationl to acquire it. From long practice anI a natural liking for the art 1 haveattaiiied considerable skill in discerning cha ac- ter."—Household Words. • Men Who Could not be Put Down. Knoxonian in the last number of the Canada Presbyterian writes "Concern- ing men who could not be put down," and after dealing with Carlyle, Spurgeon, Talmage and William Ewart Gladstone names the late Hon. George Brown, and says: George Brown was a man that could not be put down. No other pub- lic man in Canada was so fiercely assail- ed except, Iperhaps, William Lyon Mac- kenzie. If the ink used in assailing George Brown could be gathered up there would perhaps be enough for a man to swim in. Possibly there would be enough to float a good-sized vessel. The newspaper articles in which he was assailed, if put' end to end, would per- haps be miles in length, perhaps a good many miles. If all the speeches made against him were added together and delivered by one man that man would need to be Methuselah. But what did it all amount , to? What harm did it ever do Mr. Brown? , It didn't even make him sour. He was a cheery, sunny, hopefurman to he last. A little t talk with him' in private was a tonic. He had 'as many fri Canada, perhaps watched at his beds bier. More mourners followed his body to the grave than ever followed the re- mains of any other Canadian. His name is mentioned with respect by everybody; with affection by many ; his portrait ihangs in thousands of Canadian homes. Politics apart, George Brown was a man that could not be put down. Candle Fish. People do not get candles from water, as a rule, I believe, but nevertheless there was a time when men were indebt- ed to the ocean for -much of the light that made their homes pleasant at night. The best candles and oil of our fore- fathers' time came from whales. There is, however, a very remarkable light - giver, which is nothing more or less than a small fish. The fish is so very oily that all you have to do after it has de- parted this life is to fasten it by its tail between two pieces of wood, touch a match to its head, and a pale flame will 'arise from the fish's mouth that lasts until, like a candle, the fist' is slowly consumed. The useful fish moreover is e living on rth Amer- ndle fishes nd every is engaged ually comb an in shore th a gigan- sweeps Or d.
