HUMOR OF CHILDISH MIND
GrowivUp Observer Will Constantly
Find Something That Will Cause
Him to Smile.
One of the most embarrassing situa
tions In which I was ever placed was
caused by a niece of mine, whose father
was a clergyman and whom I took to
church for the first time. She'did not
in the least know what her father did,
and for a long time did not observe
him. But, after sitting quietly beside
me for some time, hardly daring to
raise her eyes, because I told her she
must be quiet or she would not go
church again, she suddenly, in the
middle of the sermon, looked up and
saw him, and screamed: “Auntie, look,
there> .daddy up there. And what
ever is he yelling about?”
Which reminds me of two little
lephews of mine who were taken to a
:hurchyard by a very old and pious
.unt. She, thinking to Impress the sur
oundings on them, said: “You know.
Jack and Fred, it is only the body that
lies here. Now, what part of him goes
to heaven?” “His head, I suppose.”
There are probably many mothers
who have had cause to smile at the
quaint additions which their children
at times b.ve made to their prayers.
A little girl friend of mine was once
taken to a ventriloquist entertainment,
which impressed her very much. While
saying her prayers that night she
asked God to look after all her broth
ers and sisters and make her a good
girl. Then there was a pause, and
one heard, sotto voce, “All right”—
Strand Magazine.
POI EATING AS A FINE ART
Novice Can Never Hope to Do It Like
the Native Hawaiian, It Is
Asserted.
Pol is the national dish of the Ha
walians, and a poi supper is an event
lpng to be remembered by foreigners
admitted to participation therein. Poi
is made from taro, a big, coarse, dark
ckinned vegetable, grown under water,
the size and shape of a large sweet po
tato. The taro is pounded until it be
comes a coarse, moist mass, and is
then left to ferment.
When poi is served each guest
bathes and dries the right hand, and
then proceeds to dip the index finger
of that hand into the mass. There is
quite a knack in the operation, and it
is always necessary to Instruct the
novice that there is absolutely no
need for one to move his arm, but sim
ply the wrist.
One removes his finger at the same
time that his neighbor does. On the
finger of the skillful operator there
will be a pear-shaped ball of poi, but
the clumsy one's fingers will simply
be thinly veneered with the substance.
Then, if the stranger ask what was the
matter with his movement, he will be
told that he held his finger too
straight. He must crook it a little, and
turn his hand, not too fast, with a
wrist movement only. — Harper’s
Weekly.
There Are Wars and Wars.
As one glances over the pages of
history, one finds wars, it is true,
which are blots upon the records of
man; but one also finds wars without
which the world would have been in
comparably the poorer that we could
never have done without them. And
one also perceives to his astonish
ment if he is a “practical man,” that
the wars which have been gigantic
blunders and crimes have all been
wars for the attainment of practical
ends, like territory, or markets, or
wealth, while the wars which the
world could not have done without
have all been wars for abstract prin
ciples, for beliefs, for religions, for
mad dreams and seemingly impossible
hopes. The world could well spare the
conquests of Napoleon, because the
wars were merely for Napoleon; but
the world could not spare the martial
conflicts surrounding and realizing the
French revolution, because it was a
war for those abstract and sensible
absurdities, liberty, equality and fra
ternity. We could well spare the
Mexican war, which was a fight for
territory, but we could not at all get
along without the Civil war, which
was a war for man.—The Atlantic.
Fail to Appreciate Coffee.
Although the greater part of the
world's coffee now comes from South
America, there are some states in
that country where it is scarcely used.
All the Difference.
"With a man, things go in at one
ear and out at the other; with a wom
an, they go in at two ears and rush
out at the mouth.”—Kingfisher Blue,
by Halliwell Sutchliffe. (
