'A man who Is sot ag'in his wife, Dan'l, Joncr, the b'ars and the Red sea |s bound to meet up with a calamity, and yo' Jest go right ahead.' "Jest then," said Zeb, "my old dawg outside begun to bark and rush around, and I took up my gun and went out. I heard a great rustlin' and scatterin' around, and I reckoned that mo' than a hundred coons was movln' down upon the co'n. "I called to the dawg to sick 'em, but the critter dropped his tail and sneaked Into the bouse. 'Peared like a funny thing for him to do, but I went down among the co'n alone.

NOT SO VERY GREEN. The Florida Man Rnther Evened Matter* Up Wltli the New Yorker. When the young man from Florida came to live in New York, he woke up one morning last winter, and, going to the window, he looked out on what was to him a novel scene. R was a snowstorm, the first he had ever seen. Jumping into his clothes, ho ran into the street He stooped and gathered handfuls of snow and threw them in the air. Ho jumped into a drift and sent it flying with bis feet He finally lay down and rolled in it all the time shouting and laughing at the top of his voice. A One of the crowd which had gathered to watch his antics went up to him and told him how his mother used to cure fits and volunteered to try it on him. "I haven't any fit" the young man said. "What's the matter with you, then?" "Why, don't y^u see the snow?" "Yes, I see it. What of it? I have seen it before." "Well, I haven't," said the Florida young man. "Whatl You never saw snow before?" asked the astonished questioner. "Never. Seems strange to you, don't it?" "It beats any sample of verdancy I ever run across." "Oh, I don't know," mused the Florida cracker. "Did you ever see an alligator eating a nigger? No? Well, you are not so many after all. I have seen it many times." And, throwing a hand* ful of snow down bis shirt collar, he pursued his Joyous gambols.-?New York Mall and Express. Quotation Mark). Speaking of the use of quotation marks, the London Chronicle says: But why all these inverted commas, "the silly trick of peppering pages with these uncouth bacilli?" You wiU find none of these bacilli In the Bible. Take this passage, chosen at random: Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to Hsk him, and said unto them, Do ye Inquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me; and again, a little while, and ye shall see me? The modern compositor would settbat passage between two brackets of Inverted commas, for It Is a quote within a quote. But it Is beautifully clear as It stands, and among all Biblical misunderstandings no one, we think, has been misled by tho absence of an inverted comma. A Story of Browning. Browning himself couldn't always explain bis meaning at first rending. Dr. Furnivall,. founder of the English Browning society, frequently consulted the poet as to the meaning of some passage in bis works. "Bless me," Browning would say, "1 really have forgotten what I did mean, and as I haven't got a copy of my works by me I really can't enlighten you. Just lend me the book, there's a good fellow. I'll look it over at my leisure and try to find out what was in my mind t the time." Instinct of tko Mudflsli.

Not hearing the approach of the mistress, the servant went on with her occupation, which was pulling first one curly lock and then another in a way that suggested that she had either lost a fortune or "got religion." The madam stared n moment and then exclaimed: "For goodness' sake, Betty, what are you doing?" The maid hurriedly scrambled to her feet and answered: "Oh, nothln', ma'am. I'zc got a sore throat and was just tryin' to find the lock what would pull malt palate up and cure the tlekln "?\'pw Vm-l Tinma Snxony'i Forest*. Saxony possesses one of the best regulated systems of forestry In the world. The forests of Saxony serve not only the purpose of giving tho state a substantial annual revenue, but they add a thousandfold to the scenery of the country, thus attracting ninny tourists into those parts every summer.

MISTAKE SOMEWHERE. Why the Colonel Stopped Hli Score of Chlnnmen at Five. "I had rend," said the colonel as bo was relating some of his experiences in China, "that if a person fell into the water no one could pull him out, holding that his falling in was a decree of Trovidenco that must not be interfered With. "One day on one of the canals 1 stumbled and went overboard, and, al* though there wero twelve boatmen, not one of them would extend me a hand. After a close shave, as I cannot swim, I got aboard again, and as soon as 1 recovered my breath I yelled at the boss boatman: " 'You infernal scoundrel, but why didn't you help me out?'? " 'It was your fate to fall in,' he calmly replied. " 'And it's your fate to take a good licking!' I said as I went for him. "When I had finished him off, I took another, and I was just polishing off my fifth victim when the sixth mail halted me to say: " 'There seems to be a mistake here. We are taught that If a person falls into the water he must save himself or drown, but we are not taught that if. he "floes save himself he is at liberty to lick half of China in revenge.' "I thought his point well taken," lnughed the colonel, "and I stopped my score at five and went down to change into dry clothes."?Boston Globe. Didn't Reckon Foreigner*.
