Me Was a Good Lawyer.

“Good lawyer?’’ repeated the man who had been acquitted in answer to a question. *‘Well, I should say so. Ever since I heard him plead my case I’ve had such a good opinion of myself that I keep looking round to see if the wings are sprouting. And before that I thought I was guilty.’’—Chicago Post

Emptying a Dormitory.

Watchman (breathlessly)}—The boys’ dormitory is on fire, and if they find it out they'll stop to save their footballs, bats and things and perish.

Not Guilty.

Miss Postergirl—He hasn’t changed his mind, but he has seen some of your pictures.—Up to Date.

**Oh, like enough, I never was very strong in mineralogy.’’—Humoristische Blatter.

“Twas at’’~ They heerd the cannons rong, The shriek of shot and shell

They trembled as the hero plunged Into that éwful hell.

"Twas at“— The carnage flercer grew, Louder the battle din.

A Lighthouse Keeper's Complaint

Lighthouse keepers do not seem to feel their lonely life. I once spent a week on Seotland lightship, near the entrance to New York harbor. The as- Sistant keeper was in charge, and he was nearly stone deaf. He had not been ashore for three months, and even a hewspaper came to him only by chance from time to time, when a pilot boat stopped by on her way out of the bar- bor. From sunrise until 9 o’clock at night he did little else but sit on a hatchway, smoking an old pipe ‘aud gazing reflectively at the great harbor receiving and dismissing its thousands of vessela, One @fy “ht asked me to use iny influence to get him t/ansferred to Cape Coe. I asked him why he wisned the change.

‘*Well,’’ said he very seriously, ‘‘I want a quieter station. It’s too lively here. I want to be where there is less going on.’’—Licutenant John M. Elli- cott in St. Nicholas,

Work by Artificial Light.

Many persons experience great fatigue in working and reading by artificial light. Seme attention has been given tothis sub- ject, especially in view of reading and study, and the type, paper and illumina- tion most favorable to comfort and health, White light is reoommended for all artifi- cial illumination. One should never read , at a lower degree of light than ordinary » daylight. Very low intensities cause eye strain and weakness, which may result in exceedingly severe and even dangerous mental and physical conditions. It is now an established fact that epilepsy is some- times caused by eye strain. There are also many other maladies that are primarily caused and greatly aggravated by bad light while using the eyes. Some authort- ties recommend white paper. Others, not- ably experienced journalists, insist that straw colored paper and black ink are less taxing to the eyes than white paper.— New York Ledger.

Sometimes.

A well known humorist is fond of tell- ing this story of his small daughter.

At the dinner table one day there was a party of guests for whom he was doing his best in the way of entertainment. A lady turned to the little girl:

‘* Your father is a very funny man,’’ said she.

‘*Yes,’’ responded the child, ‘‘when we have company.’’—Pick Me Up.

William ©. Ussery, M. D., of St. Louis, says that the best food for those suffering from typhoid fever is the banana.

When Hume fell in love, his friends dbe- came aware of the fact by his sporting @ rose in his buttonhole.
