One of Lamb's Pranks. A pretentious poet got his verses submitted to Charles Lamb by a’ friend just before the poet was to meet Lamb at dinner. Lamb found the verses to be feeble echoes of other poets, and when the author arrived he was seen to be as empty as his verses. This awakened Lamb's spirit of mischievous waggery. At dinner he said in the course of conversation: “That reminds. me of. some ,verses I wrote when . was young,” and then he quoted a line or two which he recolleéted from the poet's book, to the latter’s amazement and indignation. Lamb was diverted immensely, but kept pertectly serious and quoted more. lines in connection with another remark, begging the company to. remember how young be was when he composed them The author again looked daggers at him, Lamb capped. all by introducing the first lines of: “Paradise. Lost” (“Of man’s first disobedien¢e,” etc.) as also written by himself, wwich brought the ‘poet to his feet, bursting with rage. He said he had sat by and allowed his own “little verses” to be appropriated without protest, but when he saw Milton also being pilfered from he could sit silent no longer. Lamb reveled in telling this story.—Rev. David Macrae in “English Humor.” Japan is a corruption of the Chinese word Shi-pen-kue, which means “root of day,” or “sunrise kingdom.,”’ because Japan is directly east of China.

The Earl of Wemyss was on a Fife golf course not long ago, accompanied by an old caddie. His lordship got hie ball on one occasion so near the hole that to play it was, as it appeared to. him, superfiuous, So he simply tipped it in with the toe of his boot. The’ caddie revolted instanter, threw down the clubs and looked borrified. When he found words to speak, it was to. say, “Hang it; me lord, gowf’s “What is lyddite? ‘The high Sane oe Baia.

He was shots; and, looking up,discovered four men shooting at one another, The men were. standing at the four corners of an imaginary equare, and each was shooting. at the man catacorner to him. Being in what he supposed a safe position, he paused to watch the outcome of the fray, whén a bullet, going wide of its intended ‘hark, cut by his ear. That roused his wrath, ‘and, drawing his: pistol, -hedropped the’ man in his tracks who had all but dropped him. Another bullet. flying. wide: from its mark, but near to the stranger, caused ‘him to lay out one of the other pair, and the two remaining men sought safety in flight.

Conquered the Professor. The mighty Jowett of Oxford invited a student to walk with him. After 80 minutes the pupil finally spunked up courage and remarked, “Nice day, professor.” “Do you really think so?’ was the faraway answer of Jowett. Another half hour passed, and the boy. stammered out: “Nice road; professor.” ‘The teacher responded, “Do you really think so?’ The matriculate began to boil In his bones and to get even more frightened, but he managed to again blurt out, “Clouds seem to be filling up with rain, professor,” to which the answer was: “Do you really think so?’ The two returned to the college ground, and the professor said, ‘*Well, young man, we have been walking for several hours, and everything you said has been as stupid as it possibly could be.” His companion replied, ‘“‘Do you really think so?” The professor looked at the young man a moment. Then he smiled and grasped his hands hentia A From ‘that time on conversation fever “fagged during their walks.—Saturday Evening Post. A Poultry Problem.
