An ancient epitaph in Latin in the translated thus: Kélia Laelia Crispis~ . Neither infant, young nor old, Neither chaste, depraved, nor modest, But all these. Removed neither by hunger, sword or poison, But by all, She lies neither in the sky nor in the water, best everywhere, Lucius Agatha Crispis. Neither husband, lover nor triend, But all these. Neither weeping nor rejoiciug, But both. Aas ebected this, neither a mausoleum, s pyramid nor 2 sepulcher, But all three, Both knowing and. not knowing ‘to whom he beth erected it. This is a tomb that holds no body, This is a body held in no tomb, But is its own body and its own tomb. The answer is not known, and-so every nimble wit is invited to exercise i¢self on the tough old puzzle. Whiter Than a Shirt, Inventors have a power of abstraction which serves them a good turn op them into strange statements‘ on others. “So you think you’ve perfected your . little machine at last, do you?’ asked the lawyer of his dreamy eyed client. “Yes; it’s all right now. There’s nog a flaw in it,” said the inventor. “But J ean assure you, sir, that when it came to making the final test I was frightened. I happened to see my face in @ mirror when the thing was safely over, and it was as white as your shirt, sly. In fact,” he added, bending an impar tial gaze on the lgwyer’s shirt frong, “it was whiter—c6nsiderably whiter, § should say.”—Youth’s Companion. A Melodious Spot.

When the cigarette is nearly. finished, a blow on the rhead puts an end to the animal's. existence. 5 _ The extraordinary part of the experiment lies in the fact that the bat does ‘not at once reject the cigarette, as he is of course at liberty to do. There aré many who affirm that the bat really. does enjoy the tobacco. The probability is that the animal is so maddened by fear and pain that he puffs away unreasoningly and fiercely, his instinct telling him that in the properties of the tobacco lies oblivion. —1 An Odd Sort of Dinner, Lord Polkemimet, @ Scottish -tord-ofsession, usually. retired to his country residence during the part of the year when the court does no business. John Hagart, the Scottish advocate, equally idle froma similar cause, went to shoot, and, happening to pass Lord -P.’s property, he met his lordsbip, who politely invited John to take, or, as he said, to tak’, a family dinner witli him‘self, his wife and daughter. John accepted the invitation, and they all assembled at the hour of dinger. There was a joint of roasted veal at the head of the table and. stewed veal at the bottom, veal soup in the middle, calf’s head on one side of the soup and veal cutlets on the other, calf’s foot jelly between the soup and roast veal and calf’s brains between “4. the stewed veal and the soup. “Noo,” said his lordship in his own blunt way, “Mr. Hagart. you may very. likely think this an odd sort of dinner, but ye'll no wonder when you hear the cause of it.' We keep nae company, Mr. Hagart, and my daughter here caters for our table. The way we do is just this: We kill a beast, as it were. today. and we just begin to cook it at one side of the head, travel down that side, turn the tall and just: gang back again by the other side to where we began.” He Used the Dye Queen Margherita of Italy was anxfous that her husband, King Humbert, should follow the example of his father and the fashion comnion among elderly Piedmontese officers and dye his hair. . Her pleadings were in vain. Seeing entreaty was in vain, the queen had recourse to stratagem. She caused a quantity of fine hair dye to be sent from Paris and put fn the king’s dressing room, together with directions for its use, making, however, no allusion to the subject. The king, too, said nothing, though he could not fail to see the pigments. Now, the queen had a large white poodle of which he was very fond. What was her horror a few days later. to see her pet come running into her room with his snowy locks all turned to a jet black.
