AT SEISPRS AT WLS THE other day a Hibernian son of toil was strolling in his working clothes up Twenty-fourth Street, and caught by the glitter of the Hoffman House Museum, of whose attrac- tion he had heard, attempted to enter, but was stopped by the bouncer on guard at the door, who said it was a place for“ gentlemen.” Paddy was a little nettled at this rebuff, but said: “All right, me hearty, I'll get in anyway,” and then went off. In a couple of hours he returned, shaven and shorn, and decked out in his Sunday clothes, and sailed by the gentleman at the door with a smile of tnumph. He looked at all the curios, saw the wheels go round, was shocked at the nymphs and did the place generally. He then sauntered up to the bar and called for a cocktail. The bracing beverage was put up for him, and after drinking it with gusto he laid down twenty cents, which the barkeeper passed over to the cashier, and went on with his polishing operations, seemingly oblivious of his Hibernian customer, who appeared to be waiting for something. Alter the pause the fluid dispenser said ; ‘* An'thin' else ?” “Me change!" answered Paddy. “No change ; we charge twenty cents for a mixed drink,” was the rejoinder. “A Mick’s drink,” said the Hibernian, ‘an’ who told ye, me bucko, that I was a Mick ?"—Philadelphia Inquirer. Marie: That actress says that she always puts her diamonds on when she takes a bath, Do you suppose she is afraid they will be stolen ? Hitts: No; it’s force of habit with her. She's so used to putting them in soak, you know.—Pioneer Press. A Goon story is going the rounds at the expense of a well-known society woman who doesn't live a thousand miles from Rittenhouse Square. The lady in question has just returned from a visit to friends in Washington, where she attended quite a number of social functions. It is re- lated that at a reception she was presented to one of the attachés of the Russian Legation. Feeling in a quizzical mood, she extended her hand to the Russian, at the same exclaiming : ‘* How do you doski?" Not to be outdone, the gentleman from the Czar’s domains promptly and tersely replied: ‘* Bullygovitch!” And the Philadelphia lady admitted that the laugh was on her.—Philadelphia Record. Literary Lavy: The most essential point in our inter- course with children is to be truthful ourselves. other interest ought to be sacrificed to that of truth. Tommy: Ma, Mrs. Jones is coming in the gate. Literary Laby (angrily): If she asks for me, tell her I'm out of town, (She resumes writing.) When we in any way deceive a child, we not only set a pernicious example, but also lose our influence over him forever.— Exchange, I Have before me a letter from a Parisian friend, a gentleman of some literary note in his own country, who informs me that he is learning English by the aid of a small text book and a dictionary, without any other instructor ; and he adds ‘In small time I can learn so many English as I think I will come at the America and go on the scaffold to lecture." —A©ethodist Herald.
