The best friends n man has are among those who are uooror than himself. The $10 man finds his ad mirers In tho $5 circle, and the $5 man among those still poorer. A man is inclined to snub those poorer than himself, but they are tho ones who come to his help when ho is in trou-ble. "What's tho matter, Batch? You seem ill at ease. I thought you'd en joy a home dinner." "I'd enjoy it thoroughly, Newwod, if I could keep my eyo on my hat and coat. Force of hnblt, you know." Louisville Courier-Journal. Tho porch climber hesitated. "I'm only doing this," he muttered, "because getting in on the ground floor has never made any money for men in a business way, and it's up to me to get even with the world some how." Convincing hemsclf by this specious reasoning, he softly pushed up the win dow and climbed inside. Chicago Tribune. Thirty days of ofilcial mourning was begun at the nnvttl academy as a mark of respect to tho memory of the late ex-president Grover Cleveland. The Southern Railway announced that the. resumption of negotiations looking to a reduction In wages of employes of the Southern Railway out side of Washington had been post poned from July 1 until October 1 next. ' A very good young man in town called on a girl the other evening, and,, aftec, talking a few minutes, asked her if she would have any ob jection to his offering up a prayer. She said no, and he got down en his knees and told the Lord that he intended to ask the young woman Then present to be his wife, and hoped tho Lord would move her to consent. After exhorting fifteen minutes, He arose to his feet, but the girl had left the room, and has steadily refused to see him since. Very often people meet and have a long conversation, each one knowing that the other is lying. One will say in effect: "I saw a very peculiar star in the heavens last night and flew up there to look at it." Whereupon the other will reply, in effect: "Yes, I flew up there myself, and saw you on the way. The star Is not so remark able, after all, when you come to look at it." This nabit is so common that naturalism and simplicity are very popular. This habit, is also responsi ble for tho fact that most statements are taken witlTa grain of allowance. COSTLY PIECE OF EARTHWARE. OF POST-MORTEM PRAISES. I've noticed when a fellow dies, no matter what he's been A saintly chap or one whoso life was darkly steeped in sin His friends forget tho bitter words they spoke but yesterday, And now they And a multitude of pretty things to say. I fancy, when I go to rest some one will bring to light Some kindly word or goodly act long burled out of sight; But, if it's all the same to you, just give to me instead The bouquets while I'm living and the knocking when I'm dead. Don't save your kisses to imprint upon my marble brow, While countless maledictions are -hurled upon me now; Say just one kindly word to me while I mourn hero alone. And don't save all your eulogy to carve upon a. stone! What do I care if when I'm dead the Hloomingdale Gazette Gives me a write-up with a cut in mourning borders set; It will not flatter me a bit, no matter what is said. So kindly throw your boquets now and knock me when I'm dead. Ic may be fine, when one is dead, to have the folks talk so, To have the flowers come in loads from relatives, you know; It may be nice to have these things for those you leave behind, But just as far as I'm concerned, I really do not mind. I'm quite alive and well today, and while I linger here, Lend me a helping hand at times give me a word of cheer, Just change tho game a little bit; just kindly swap tho decks, For I will bo no judge of flowers when I've cashed in my checks.

One of the most im portant of the recent accessions to tho Pennsylvania museum, in Memorial hall, Is a largo earthenwnro dish, known as a Toft dish, which was mado by Thomas Toft of Staffordshire, Eng land, about 1GCC, at the time of tho res toration of Charles II.

Toft Dish Given to Pennsylvania Museum. through his agents abroad, for an au thentic specimen of this early English manufacture. Some time ago he heard o( a piece in possession of a London dealer, but. the price demanded, $700, was beyond the limited resources of the museum, although It was consid ered a reasonable price for so great a rarity. The matter was laid beforo Mr. Henszey, who at once offered to provide the necessary sum, and the purchase was authorized. When the director received the pro clous piece of earthenware from tho custom house in Now York he took It up to the Metropolitan museum and exhibited it to the envious olflclals there, and ho received an offer of twice the amount that had been paid or it. Toft dishes, which are usually about IS inches in diameter, wore uroduced In England before porcelain was in vented, and they were considered at that time works of great merit. The decoration is made by pouring liquid clay, or slip, through a quill attached to a little cup, tho designs being tracet In the same manner as patterns In sugar Icing are applied to cakes. The Toft dish which has been procured by the museum bears five medallions, each one containing a rude portrait of Charles II, and in the central medal lion are tho Initials It. C, for Rex Carolus King Charles. Toft used tho royalty and nobility of the period as decorative subjects for his dishes.

And one Fourth of July morning, on a platform hung with Hags and flowers beforo the courthouse of a country town, facing an audience of farmers and their fam ilies that had come from miles around, tho statesman arose to deliver the In dependence day oration in a slightly intoxicated state. "He was not incapable of an ora tion, but his unsteady gait, Ills flushed face and disordered attire spoke ill of him, and tho audience hissed. "Ho held up his hand. They were silent. Then ho laughed scornfully and said: " 'Ladies and gentlemen, whon a statesman of my prominence consents to appear in such a little, one-horse town as this, ho must be either drunk or crazy.
