Being sent for some flour to Harry Comb*?* store in a hurrv. she took what she supposed to be a clean pillow-slip from the bureau-drawer. When she bounced into the store, smiling like a basket of chips, she handed the thing to Harry to fill with flour. He didn't notice what "they" were till a scoop of flour had gone, through them. "When he raised them up and exposed the two outlets at the bottom, nicely fringed, etc., the young lady ran down toward the tunnel, without saying a word, and poor Harry, covered with flour, laid the gar? ment in the money-drawer, to await her return. At a late hour last evening nobody had called for the flouiv ^and Harry engaged a seamtress to sew up tho bottoms | and make a salt-sack out of 'cm. [Washington Chronicle. Bald-headed men are only living | a little in advance of their time. According to Darwin, we are in? debted to our frisky ancestor, the ape, for pur hair, and men with' beards and prolific scalps have no reason to feel that they are parti? cularly superior to their less lovely fellow-men. It may be extinction to the barber business, and a blow to human vanity, but the coming man is to be bald-headed. An Irishman with a heavy bun? dle on his shoulders riding on the front of a horse-car, was asked why lie did not set his bundle on the platform. He replied: "Bo jabbers, the horse hove enough to drag me. I'll carry the bundle. A printer out West, whose office is two miles from any other build? ing, and who hangs Iiis sign on the limb of a tree, advertises for a boy. He says, "a boy from the countoy j preferred." ,A newspaper biographer, trying to say his subject "was hardly able to bear the demise of his wife," was made by the inexorable printer to say, "wear the chemise of his wife." A Green Bay mother won't leave j the room when Sarah's beau calls, and Sarah's beau makes a remark or two about navigation, slides along to his hat, says it's nice wea? ther and creeps out. A pious man who can drive a balky horse ten miles, without be? ing set back ten years in his re? ligion, is ripe enough for a better | world. f A man in Lancaster, N. H., has a trout in his cistern that is so tame that it wilt eat from a per? son's hand. The more a man's purse weighs, the more persuasive is his- elo? quence. Long-haired men are no longer trustworthy?so says.Brooklyn. -. The contented man is never poor, the discontented never rich. Final Discharge NOTICE h? hereby given that Sarah L.
