INT SEIS§ORS AT NvLLy Eviyan, dear; will you dress Willie this morning? I'm in such a hurry, and’it won't take you but a minute or two.” Certainly,” replied Mr. Bixby, cheerfully, ‘I'd just as soon dress the little chap as not. Here, my little man come and let papa Gress you. I'll have you as neat as'a pin in a jiffy.” ; Willie, aged four, comes reluctantly from his playthings, and Bixby begins: : : Om, lets off with your nightly gown and— keep still, dear, or Ican‘t unbutton it. There now, we'll—sit still, child. Vat makes you squirm around like an eel? Where's your little shirty? Ah, here it is, and—sit still! Put up your arm—no, the other one and Can't you keep still half a second? Put up your other arm and stop hauling and pulling so! Now, let's—come here, boy! What under Heaven do you mean by racing off like that with nothing on but your shirt?» Now you come here and let me put the rest of your duds on, Stand s¢i/, I say! Put your leg in here! Not that leg! There you go squirming around like an angle-worm. Now, ifyou don't keep still, young man, 'll—stop pulling at that chain, and—here, Mary Ellen, u'll have to dress this wriggling animal yourself, I couldn't do it in ten years, Go to your mother, sir !"— Time. 195 :RAL Loris Melikoff, the famous chief of the dreaded “third had been given unbounded power to act against the Nihilists, and had virtually been created vice-emperor, as Melikoff himself used Now, Melikoff had discovered that one of the leading Nihilist chiefs was in the habit of frequently visiting Count Tolstoi, the novel , and one day he went out to Tolstoi’s country house. ‘Before the visitor had announced himself, Tolstoi recognized him, and said: “You are Loris Melikoff, chief of the third section. Do you come to see me officially, or as a private man ? If you come officially, here are my keys; search; open everything. You are free." “1 come not y.” replied Melikoff. ‘Very good,” answered Tolstoi, and calling two mujiks, he said to them: "Throw this man aut of the house !"— Argonant, : “ Now then, Jennie,” said the bridegroom to the bride after they returned from church’ where the knot had just been tied, how many brothers have you ?” “ Brothers,"" exclaimed the bride in astonishment, “you know I haven't any brothers. I'm the only child of my parents.” “Oh! I know that, but how many young men did you promise to be a sister to before you accepted me} “Those are the brothers T want to know about.” ** Well." replied the bride, smiling, I think I must have about half a dozen of brothers.” “Allright. You just drop a note to each of them and tell them the brother and sister business is all off now as you have got a husband, If they want sisters tell them to look around among the girls that are single. I'm all the brother you need now. Courier.
