Mrs. Clarenee Burns, who is so well knewn for ber philanthropic woak, 7s that {p all her experience jn yisit- ig thé teneménts of the poor of the et? She has never been asked for alms. Mrs. Burns bas made a business of vis- jing the poor with the hope of helping them whenever she saw the need, but fnds it almost Impossible to make the really deserving poor acknowledge that they are in need of anything.
One day she visited a family who were all huddled together in one bare, eid room, and their faces were so pinched she knew they were starving. But in response to her offer to help them the mother said:
“No, thank you. The children have had something today. 1 am sure to get work scon.”
After questioning as to just exactly what the children bad had to eat Mrs. Burns found that they had subsisted for three days on a few dried scraps of stale bread. This experience, she says,
ls repeated frequently.—New York Tribune. She Hadn't Dropped (Of, “Delia!”

Matually Agreeable. One day last summer a sour visaged, middle aged, fussy woman sot on one of the smoking seats tn an open car Inthe subway. Next to her sat a man Who was smoking a cigar. More than that, the woman, sniffing, easily made ut that the man had been eating on- fons. Still more than that, she had tke strongest kind of suspicion that he hed been drinkirg beer. The woman fussed and wriggled and grew angrier fad looked at the man scornfully. Presently she could endure it no lon Ger. She looked squarely at him and Raid: “If you were my husband, sir, I’d five you a dose of poison!” The man looked at her. “If I were Jour husband.” said he, ‘‘I'd take it!” ~Beston Tra ‘ipt. |

A Doubting Father,
One warm midsummer day Steve found himself seated under the ela Baldwin apple tree, with the half hull of a red hearted watermelon in his lap. Old Mr. B., busy with the other half, paused now and then to ask Steve about his new job, how many cigars he smoked in a day, what they cost and what he paid for his fine clethes. Pres- ently he wanted to know what they called his boy on the road—conducton, brakeman or what?
“They call me the general freight agent, father,” said Steve.
“That’s a mighty big name, Steve.”
“Yes, father; it’s rather a big job, too, for me.”
“But ye don’t do it all, Steve. Ye must have hands to help you load and unload?”
“Oh, yes, I have a lot of help!”
“And the company pays them all?”
“Ton
“How much do they pay you, Steve— $2 a day?’
Steve almost strangled on a piece of core, and the old gentleman saw that he had guessed too low.
“Three?” he ventured.
“More than that, father.”
“Ye don’t mean to say they pay ye as much as fi-y-e?”
“Yes, father; more than 25.”
The old man let the empty hull fall between his knees, stared at bis boy and whistled.
“Say, Steve,” he asked earnestly, “are ye worth it?’—Lippincott’s Maga- rine.

The Inquisitive Damsel, ,
A girl who took up photography not long ago and endeavored to get some valuable snap shots had bad luck with her first pictures. There were funny streaks of white all through them when there was any picture at all, and she couldn’t imagine how they came there. Neither could an experienced amateur who assisted in developing her first negatives and who took the usual precautions in loading the cam- era and taking thaplates.
“I can’t imagine what is the mat- ter,” he said as plate after plate came out either good for nothing or with only a little of the picture visible “Those ought to have been good plates.”
“Neither can I,” said the girl. “They looked all nice and smooth and white if that is the way they ought to look.”
“Looked all right!” exclaimed ber tn- structor in dismay. “You hadn’t fook- ed at them before we put them in the camera, had you?”
“Oh, not enougs to hurt them!” said the girl. “I just lifted up the black paper from each plate just the littlest crack in the world. I just couldn’t re- sist the temptation of seeing how nice they looked and think of the lovely pictures I was going to have on them.” —New York Times.
Her Handy Money Stocking. . \
“Yes, you are right,” said the con- ductor of a Main street car, viciously ringing up a fare. “Some people do carry money in queer places, Now, that Chinaman in there kept me wait- ing over two blocks while he untied a gordian knot in his cue, where he had his cash. Some people keep me wait- ing five blocks or more while they Osh around for their money.
“Yesterday I was going north on Main street, when, at the corner of Adams, two women got on the car. I waited a minute or so and then went in for the fares. The women looked sort of dashed, and then one of them began to fumble in her purse. Empty! Then her companion made a dive at the bottom of her skirts.
“Well, sir, it beat all. That womar deliberately unlaced Ler shoe and took it off and through a hole in her stock- ing fished out a dime.” — Memphis Scimitar.
A Big Snowfall.
The heaviest fa!l of snow that ever took place in England occurred in 1615. The snow commenced falling on the 16th of January, 1615, and continueg every day until the 12th of March fob lowing. It covered the earth to such a depth that passengers, both horse and foot, passed over gates, hedges ang walls, which had been obliterated by the white sheet. On the 12th of March it began to decrease and so by little and little consumed and wasted away till the 28th of May, for then all the heaps and drifts had disappeared ex- cept one upon Kinder scout, which lay until Whitsun week.
A heavy fall occurred in Scotland in 1620, the snow falling 13 days and nights witb little or no intermission.
One of the heaviest falls on a single day occurred on the 21st of February, 1762, the snow in some places being from 10 to 12 feet deep.
Court and Witness Agree.
An amusing incident occurred in one of the common pleas courts the other day. The lawyer for the defense was making a very lengthy cross examina- tion of an old lady when he was inter- rupted by the judge with the remark, “I think you have exhausted this wit- ness.”’
“Yes, judge,” she exclaimed, “I do feel very much exhausted.”—Philadel- phia Call.
