The Usefui Veb "To Get"
There is no word.ilong or short. in
the English ingung capable of per
forming so much la1or in a clear. In
telligible sense as th verb to get. And
here is an old timc specimen of its
capabilities:
*I got on borsebat within ten min
utes after I got yor letter. When I
got to Canterbury f got a chalse for
town, but I got wet through before I
got to Canterbury, aeL I have =ot such
a cold as I shall notbe able to get rid
of in a hurry. I g4 to the treasury
about noon; but. finrsof all. I got shav
ed and dressed. I soil got into the se
cret of getting a mneorial before the
board. but I could aot get an answer
the-. However, I go intelligence from
the messenger that 1 should most like
ly get one the next morning. As soon
as I got back to mVtn I got my sup
per. When I got ugin the morning I
got my breakfast and then got myself
dressed that I miglit get out An time
to get an answer to iy memorial. As

chaise and got to -Canterbury by 3
o'clock, and abouttea time I got
home."-Ave Maria.
Wellington's Subtle Retort.
Wednesday, 19th October. S36-Lord
Fitzgerald made us hugh at dinner
today with a story about John Wilson
Croker. whose perrinacity of opinion
is well known. He was laying down
the law after dinnerto the Duke of
Wellington and, according to custom.
asserting the superiority of his own
information on all subjects, having
even flatly contradicted the duke, who
had mentioned some incident that had
taken place at the battle of Waterloo.
At last the conversation turned upon
the use of percussion caps for muskets
of the army when Croker again main
tained a directly opposite opinion to
that which was urged 'by the duke.
who at last good humoredly said to
him. "My dear Croker. I can yield to
your superior Information on most
points, and you may kaoW a great deal
more of what passed at Waterloo than
myself, but as a sportman I will
maintain my point about percussion
caps."-Thomas Raikes' Journal.
The Larch In Labrador.
The soil and atmuosphere.are so cold
and dry in faraway -Labrador that
scarcely any vegetation thrives at all.
The larch is a species of pine tree
which is found in all northern coUn
tries, but its growth is soestunted in
Labrador that a specimen found on
the most southern part of that dreary
land was but nine Inches in height and
the trunk was but three-eighths of an
inch in diameter. A careful examina
tion of the miniature tree revealed Its
age to be at least thirty-two years, for
there were that number of ring
growths shown in its small trnnk- The
very cold currents pouring down from
the north and the fact that Labrador
has less sunshine than Alaska, to
gether with several inland climatic
conditions, make the summer seasons
shorter and colder than are those of
Alas-ka.-Ezx-MR

A Pittsburg man once submitted a
Pittsburg story to a New York maga
zine and got a wire from the editor:
"Will accept story if cut out libel." I
So the Pittsburg man hurried over
to New -York and asked the editor
whom he had libeled.
"You have libeled your native city,
sir," was the reply. -Why." said the
editor, turning over the manuscript,
"don't you say here on page 23 that
the heroine clutched the air desper
ately?"
"Yes. Go on."
"And then two paragraphs further
down you say she -'yashed her hands.
Well, that"
The editor frowned angrily at the
author.
"That, sir, is a foul and disgusting
libel on Pittsburg's air."-Detroit Free

Browning and a Cabman.
The gondoliers of Venice are sup
posed to know their Tasso and Ariosto.
The following little incident leads to
the supposition that Browning's "Ride
to Ghent" may possibly be found in
the poetic repertory of the London
cabman: A neighbor one day saw Mr
Browning alight from a hansom. The
cabby looked at the fare in his open
palm with an air of dissatisfaction
and, wheeling round. delivered himself
of this parting shot: "You may be a
good poet, but you're a bad pay
master."-Mrs. Andrew Crosse In "Red
Letter Days of My Life."
