In men whom men pronounce divine,
I find so much of sin and blot ?

"Oh, mi3S," answered he wisely,

Haydn's Unhappy Match.
Among the unhappiest marriages
ever recorded was tnat of Haydn.
His wife was extravagant, a scold
an/1 nlfortti imriAaoiVila a tha flnAHOA
BUU UltWilJ IUl^vdoii/i? i?u ?mv tfuwvww
of a musician. We are assurea that
she indulged herself in fits of rage
wherein she would destroy the master's
written musical scores, using
them to make curl*papers. Haydn
appears to have borne this state of
affairs for about thirty-two years,
when he became exhausted. In
London he wrote a friend, "My
wife, that infernal woman, has written
me such horrible things that 1
will not return home."

Custom house stories are always
interesting. The hero of this one,
a Swiss missionary, was returning
to Basle from South America, taking

in ancient Patagonian burying
places. At the frontier the au11

trunk. They classified the skulls as
"bones of animals" and demanded
duty at the rate of a penny a pouhd.
The missionary protested, and it
was presently agreed that as the
skulls were for scientific purposes
they must be allowed to enter without
payment.
The only question was how to
classify them for the purposes of
the Swiss statistical bureau. This
problem was debated at great
length, but ultimately the skulls
went through as "personal effects
already worn."?New York Sun.
Leap's Prolific Wheat.

by side with other kinds this splendid
beardless wheat yielded from

conditions as other standard wheats.
Wherever grown it is superseding
all other kinds and it should be
sown universally by wheat growers
everywhere.

A young Englishman/.<hose cons

city came over to see his relativ
and also to see something of th

suggested to him was Niagara falh

presented himself minus ovcrcoa

"How big is this state?"

A New Yorker went to Brazi
last year to put in a few months oi
one of the cattle ranges. One da
a young Irishman rode into cam
to see the New Yorker, saying tha
he had ridden forty miles to do sc
as he wished to inquire of him as t
the health of his brother, who lef
Ireland ten years before and wa
settled in New York city. Ther

Still our foreign cousins are no
so much lu ^re vague on these sub

instance, a man in Maine whom
met last summer told me in th
course of a conversation that h
