Exact Thomas.
Thomas Hoar, the devoted servant
I upon whom Gilbert White, the English
naturalist. depended to carry out his
garden plat* and to look after his
comfort In many ways, was noted for
bla exactness. Mr. H. C. Shelley, in
"Gilbert White and Seiborne," gives an
amusing Illustration
There was one occasioo when Thomas
came to report. "Please, sir. J'Te
been and broke a glass."
"Broke a glass. Thomas! Bow did
yon do that?"
Til show you. sir." he rejoined as he
disappeared for a moment Returning

, Getting an Autograpk.
A Munion boy of fourteen. who had
seen and admired many of Budolf von
Seltz's paintings, was anxious to secure
tbe painter's autograph, but did
not know bow to go a boat it After
much thought be wrote a letter, stating
that be bad sent a case of wine to
the professor's address, and wanted to
know whether It bad beeo received.
Thinking tbe matter of sufficient importance
the painter did not write, but
called at tbe address given, met the
boy's mother, and tbe fraud soon became
apparent. The boy was thoroufiy
scolded, and next day received
this autograph note:
It often happens nere on earth
iTist little rogues to great ones grow.

Irish Wit
8wift scoffed at Irish "wit" in some
biting lines. Nevertheless Irish wit Is
one of tbe most precious things. One
soon has a surfeit of tbe professional
fanny man In England, the pawky
Scot, the American humorist The
Irish peasant never disappoints, and
with him it Is all so naive and natural.

Ths Human Lobster.
The lobster bus always appealed to f
the Englishman as affording a nn-k- ;
name for bis fellow Englishman >
"Lobster" was a favorite term of abuse I
among the ^Clizabetbaas. though it is 1
only conjectural that an allusion to red g
faces was conveyed. As slgnlfjiag a
soldier, "lobster" originated In the ^
civil war. being applied to the Round- p
bead cuirassiers, as Clarendon exnlains.
"I>ecause of. the bright Iron i
bells with which they were covered." I
Afterward tbe allusldn was transfer- J
red to the soldier's red uniform. But
that was tbe "boiled lobster Tbe "raw
lobster" was naturally the man In
blue, tbe policeman. In earlier days
we tind fJrose explaining that "to boll
one's lobster" meant for a clergyman
to become*a soldier.?Loodon Cbroo- >
