A LOCAL exclian < re strikes out from
the shoulder in this way : "It is cer
tainly very funny to hear u man howl
ing about patronizing1 home indus
tries , when he uses a rubber stamp to
make the most horrible daubs of letter
heads and cards with which nice white
paper is spoiled. Most men's ideas
of patroni/ing home industries is for
everybody else to do it. "
A man's brains weighs three and
half pounds. A woman's brain is
somewhat lighter , but of finer quality.
That is what enables her to taste lard
in her neighbor's pastry.

BY OUR ASSISTANT EDITOR.
BAICXUM'S great white elojhijit
hymn for next season will be : "Just
as Siain without one flea. "
CitusiiKU strawberry color is not
now considered the correct thing.
The newest color in fashion is "the-
inside of a mule's ear by starlight. "
IT is oflicially reported that a pat
ent has been applied' for on uan ad
justable dog's tail. " A great profit
may be now enjoyed in retailing
canines.
N exchange saya that Noah was
the first pitcher an record. He "pitch
ed the ark within and without. " The
game was finally called on account of
the rain.
BOSTOX girls never say "He is a
gone goose. " When a lover is ob
served to be idiotically sweet on any
particular young lady , the other girls
refer to him as "a departed aquatic
flower of the genus anser. "
"AnE you certain of securing the
diadem ? " asked the minister of the
dying man. And Avhen the man said
that "he did'nt want to diadem bit , "
the minister and the doctor flew and ,
as a natural consequence , the man got
better.
AT a station in Montana , the other
day , a Boston girl stuck her ligad out
of a Northern Pacific ear and exclaim
ed : "The bewildering wojnance which
crowns this twansaendental scenery
with such indescwibable fascination ,
and tinges its evewy featuh with such
overpcw'ing interwest quite bweaks
me up ! " And a number of members j ]
of the local vigilance committee
standing onjhe platform look grimly j
into each other's faces and .muttered ,
"Oh ! if it was only a man JM Bismarck -
marck Tribune ,
FOE a woman of spirit , commend
us to Mrs , Fred Dopier , of Ouray ,
Colorado , Her liege lord had a habit
of squandering his money at the gam
ing'table. Poker wds his inajjja , and
he always bet high , but the in variable
result was that he was .cleaned out
before be could leave the .table. This
habit of Fred's -was .quite inconven
ient to Mrs. Fred , as if deprived her
of a fair share of his earnings , and as
he seldom or never had any winnings
it may be surmised that the family
exchequer was in a state of continued
collapse. Now Mrs. Fred was a wa-
man of spirit , as all women ought to
be. So one night , shortly after Fred
sat down to the fascinating game of
draw she entered .the den arjd secret
ed herself behind a .curtain where she
could overlook the play. Luck ran
Fred's way , and he soon had a fine
pile < of coin before him. His fortune
culminated in a big pot , he holding
four tens against .several hands of but
Httle less .value. Just as he showed
down the winning Beards. , Mrs. . Fred
glided from her place of concealment ,
swept the pot and Feed's pile into her
apron , and quietly went thence. JSot
having enough left to go .in .the juext
deaj , the subsequent proceedings in
terested Fred no more. "When he
sobered up and went , hQme.next day ,
ie found the cellar -stocked with a six
months ! .supply of provisions , the
children # U warmly and neatly dressed -
, ed , and his .wife .wearing .the first new
cloak.she .had .owned for fiye years. .
Mrs. Fred's .call , though , not.strictly a ,
fashionable one , was well timed ahd
.very productive of good results. .
