It makes an appeal to the world. But have we not in this country one humorous weekly that deserves to be ranked with the English and the German humorous papers? What's the matterwith Lire? Isn’t Lrreall right? Froman artistic standpoint it certainly is without a rival in the world. Some maysay that Lire is light and unsubstantial; but humor is all the more enjoy- able for breasting the air on joyous and delicate wings. And behind the smiling faceof Lire there is often a practical purpose. The follies of our society certainly need a satirist. Lire is not aggressively and brusquely American, but it has fought some good fights for higher literature and a better drama at home. It has touched the point of its rapier to many a harmful humbug. Its wit has been of that rare and excellent quality that appeals to the cosmopolitan taste. It is just as well calculated to raise a laugh on the banks of the Nile as on a Southem plantation or in an Eastem drawing-room. It is never sombre, or ponderous, or dyspeptic. It points out our foibles witha smile. It wields the keen sword of Saladin, never the heavy battle-ax of Richard. If we were indicted on the charge of thinking that Lire is the incomparable humorous weekly of the world, we should plead guilty to the indict- ment and throw ourself on the mercy of the court. There are unquestionably three great humorous weeklies in existence: Punch, Fliegende Blaetter and Lire, but the greatest of these is Lire.— Memphis Commercial-A ppeal.

And if the plaid-clad caddy laddie addled daddy in his adding, would the plaid-clad caddy laddie’s daddy make the plaid-clad caddy laddie sadder ?—Harper’s Maga- sine. Then He Woke Up LA N INSTRUCTOR (to student translat- ing): Don’t you think it is pretty near time that you turned the page? You've rendered the first five lines on the next page already.—The Punch Bowl. AN Alabama negro, who has spent several years as a servant in a New York family, re- tuming to his home attempted to instruct mem- bers of his family in correct usage, especially in their language. One day at the table his brother said to him: “Gimme some ’lasses, Sam.” “You mustn’t say ’lasses,” corrected Sam. “You must say molasses.” “What is you talking *bout?” grunted his brother. “How’s I gwine to say mo’ ‘lasses when I ain’t had none yet ?”— Troy Times. BAD SCOTCH Makes the devil weep for joy, and it makes you feel like the devil the next morning— only you don’t weep for joy. Good — Scotch—that is, whisky that is pal- atable and — delicate, and guaranteed pure as well, is a health-giving stimulant which none save infants need fear. Sanderson’s Moun- tain Dew Scotch is a guaranteed whisky which tends to steady the — glad hand and broaden the smile of friendship and which helps to make one a temperate disciple of the MELLOW LIFE aged AYALA MAGNET The Premier Champagne of the World 'HE wine for gentlemen.
