STRONG HORSERADISH.
It Iil l'vT-11iliis 1" 1 1 !-!-- l.Hiit;rxo
l-.xt:et Si-nirx i CiinIihiot.
The. young man had been a groom at
tin; riding schsl an I had also 1 n em
ployed at a sale stable. Still, the knowl
edge that he had acquired at these places
did not serve him well, now that he
was engaged as clerk in a grocery store
on Sixth avenue.
One day a young lady came ia the
store and asked the ch-ik if they had
any horseradish.
'"Ilossradish? 1 should say we have,"
exclaimed the young man. "We prob
ably have ihe m or-t remai'kable lmss-radi.-di
in the market." ;rid he pulled
down a bottle, covered wit h Ihe dust of
ages, and rolh-d it along the counter.
"Observe its gait," he continued with
enthusiasm. "Tin-re's a ho-sradish that
I can recommend. There's an A No. 1
family hossradish. I can warrant it to
work anywhere. It will drag a family
carriage, on a heavy track, in :t."
The young lady looked at the clerk
with some astonishment. She wanted
the horseradish, however, and ventured
to ask if it was strong.
"Strong?" echoed the clerk: "why, it's
as strong as a steam stump puller. It's
the strongest hossradish that ever looked
through a collar. You can take it right
out of your phaeton, after a wdiirl around
Central park, hitch it to a stone boat,
and if it doesn't pull more; than a loco
motive I'll knock it in the head. Fact
is, it's a heavy draught hossradish, with
the swiftness and endurance of Salvator."
"I meant to ask," said the young lady,
somewhat confused, "if it is sharp
does it bite?"
"Bite? No; it's gentle as a sucking
dove; wouldn't bite the smallest child.
It seems kind o' sad like when it has to
take the bit in its mouth. Oh, no; it
wouldn't bite a piece of molasses candy.
And kick? You couldn't make that
hossradish kick if you tickled it with a
straw," and the clerk punched the bottle
in the ribs as proof of its excellent dis
position. The yonng lady did not seem entirely
satisfied with the recommendation, and
took the bottle up to examine it more
closely.
"That's right, said the affable yonng
man; "look it over carefully. Examine
it closely for ringbone, spavin, quarter
crack, heaves, thumps, mumps, bumps,
dumps, grumps or anything else under
the shining sun. If you find it is not as
sonnd as a dollar, the hossradish is yours
without costing you a red cent, and with
a nice set of silver mounted harness
thrown in. Shall I wrap it up?"
The j-oung lady said she would not
take it along now but might call later
with a halter to lead it home. River

No Seat, No Sermon.
Once having to preach at a church in
Regent street, on arriving at the door
Bishop Wilberforce encountered his
friend Mrs. A in the act of returning
to her carriage.
"What, going away?"
"Only because I can't get in."
"Do you mean that you really wish to
stop?"
"I came on purpose."
"Then take my arm."
The crowd at the door wa3 excessive.
At last the beadle appeared, to whom
the bishop in his blandest manner, said:
"You will be so good as to give this
lady the best seat in the church."
'Impossible, sir church quite full!"
The bishop calmly, but with emphasis,
repeated hi3 orders.
"Quite impossible!" repeated the bea
dle. "I tell you, sir, the church is quite
full."
"Oh, but," was the rejoinder, "I won't
preach if you don't!"
This alarming threat at once opened
Bumble's eyes.
"Oh, I beg pardon, my lord," winking.
"This way, marm."
And lie deposited Mrs. A in the
churchwardens' luxurious empty pew
under the pulpit. London Tit-Bits.
Wire Finer Than Hair.
We are at work just now on some
pretty small wire. It is l-500th of an
inch in diameter finer than the hair on
your head, a great deal. Ordinary fine
wire is drawn through steel plates, but
that wouldn't do for this work, because
if the hole wore away ever so little it
would make the wire larger, and that
would spoil the job. Instead, it is drawn
through what is practically a hole in a
diamond, to which there is, of course, no
wear. These diamond plates are made
by a woman in New Y'ork, who lias a
monopoly of the art in this country.
The wire is then run through machinery,
which winds it spirally with a layer of
silk thread that is .0015 of an inch in
thickness even finer than the wire, j-ou
pee. This wire is used in making the
receiving instruments of ocean cahh ,
the ffilvanometers used in testing cables
and measuring insulation of covered i
yrires. Interview with a Manufacturer.
A Waste of Money. j
An actor told the following story the !
other evening: He was on a train which
was coming into New York. Iu the
seat before him sat two countrymen
who were evidently on their way to the
theater. They began to talk .'ibo;:t
actors, and one of them said: "These
actors get awful big salaries. I don't
see how they can afford to pay 'em so
much. Now there's X . They say
he gets $C0O a week and the cast of char
acters. Just think of it! Two hun
dred dollars and the cast of char
ac ters! And the cast of char ac
ters! That seems a wicked waste of
money!" New York Tribune.

"I had an hit -res! i .Mg expenetiee." said
Mr. George Boniface, dr. "I happened
to be passing one of the dime museums
when I noticed a large placard announc
ing the appearance of the elastic skin
man. Having never seen this curiosity
bought a ticket and entered the mu
seum. 1 was startled by the resemblance
which the elastic skin man bore to some
Due I had seen. I could not recall tiie
name, but the resemblance haunted me
like a dim ghost tint had come out of
long ago. While I stood wondering the
reporter for a local paper came up to in
terview the elastic skin man, and I heard
the elastic skin man say: 'My name is
D. B. Hodges. In Isiol I was agent for
Uumsey & Newcomb's minstrels. Since
then I have been idle.'
"In a few moments," continued Mr.
Boniface, "who should come along but
Arthur Cambridge, Charley Griste and
Gus Pennoyer. They shook hands with
the elastic skin man and began talking
over old times.
"'Let's see. Charley,' asked the elastic
6kin man, 'what show were you travel
ing with when I first met you?'
" 'Upon my word, I don't remember,'
said Mr. Griste. 'The first show 1 ever
traveled with was a den of performing
lions, run by well, now, it's curious
that I can't recall the name!'
" 'Was it Van Amburgh?' asked the
elastic skin man.
" 'Bless j-our heart, no,' said Mr.
Griste. 'Why, lie taught Van Amburgh
the business. Funny I can't think of his
name. He was a great friend of old Bill
Coup's oh, yes, now I recall the name;
it was Daniel!'" Eugene Field in Chi

Where Nobody Starves.
Within a hundred miles of the east
coast of Australia no native in an uncrip
pled condition has ever died from lack of
digestible food a rather comprehensive
term in a country where fern roots are
boiled like potatoes, and snails and grass
hoppers are considered tidbits. Strange
to say, the martyrs of that horrid diet
get old, as a proof that freedom from
care is, after all, the main condition of
longevity. A similar phenomenon may
be observed in the villages of Central
Russia, where mental stagnation pre
vails in its ugliest forms, but where
charity ami parish poor laws protect
every native from the risk of actual star
vation. Professor Oswald in Good
Words.
Two Famous Men Converse.
A young woman was favored with a
chance to hear two famous poets con
verse. She was walking in Cambridge,
and saw Longfellow and Low-ell strolling
a little way ahead. Her quick step soon
brought her near them. She thought to
herself. "Now I will get the freshest
utterances of two great m"n." Just be
fore she overtook them she saw a pretty
child coming along, and about to meet
them. "What are little girls made of?"
said one poet to the other. "Sugar and
spice and all that's nice, and that's what
little girls are made cf." Christian

Canned Frr:;l-i i:i I'ompeii.
A curious story is told of the origin ot
canned fruits. Years ago, when the ex
cavations were beginning at Pompeii,
some jars of preserved figs were found
in the pantry of one of the buried houses.
On being opened the fruit was found to
be fresh and good, thus showing that
centuries ago the art of preserving fruit
was practiced and that we are indebted
to the ancients for many a delicious dish.

the most frigid science by all the pas
sengers save the archbishop, who smil

"Now, in my turn, I'd like you to tell

The circle must, not be too large. I
say nothing of public banquets of si rang

An unhappy husband, living in Port

us is acquainted with any of the people
here, I think we had best go home."
Social crowds must not expect the great
men amongst them to talk well. She
