There are no weeklies in the State superior to them.—Lafayetle Sunday Times, Wuen a Georgia man gets mad and an- nounces that he'll club the first negro he finds fooling around his hen-roost, the Stalwart pa- pers announce that “a reign of terror” exists in that neighborhood.— Boston Post, A young man in the “ Answers to Corres- pondents ” column in a New York paper asks: “ How can I gain a copious command of lan- guage?” We would suggest that he try sitting down on a tack.—Lowisville Courier-Journal, A new sentimental song is entitled, “ Tell Me to Live in Your Soul, Love.” We'll do it.

High stoop, stone front, basement dining-room, hot and cold water on every floor, and a telephone in the sitting- room, Rent, $28 a month, invariably in ad- vance; references, But why did you leave your last soul?— Burlington Hawkeye. A certain old gentleman, very rich and still more stingy, is in the habit of wearing his clothes to the last thread. One of his friends, meeting him, exclaimed: ‘ They told me that you had a new hat, and I'll be hanged if you haven't!" “Oh, yes,” said the miser, looking as if he were a trifle ashamed of himself, “‘ you see, my wife kept telling me that the old one was a good deal worn out, Well, yesterday was my wife's birthday, and I got myself a new hat for her birthday present.”— Chicago Journal, Says a German: ‘Sausage-machines with us are a marvel in their way; you feed your hogs well with plenty of salt, pepper and garlic in their food, afterwards pitch them into the hopper, and the sausage comes out piping hot below.” “Good thing,” answers the American. “We have them with us, but with an improvement added. In the event of the sausage turning out insufficiently seasoned, we pitch them into another hopper, and they turn into hogs again; we give ’em a feed or two of high-spiced slush, and again convert them into sausage.”—San Francsco Wasp, WE thought we would step into the Board of Trade yesterday and see how the boys were making it on the wheat deal. The first man we met was the Philosopher, just at the front door. The Philosopher was formerly a resident of Boston, and knows all about everything. “What's wheat?” said we inquiringly. “Wheat, sir,” said the Philosopher, brightening up, “is one of nature’s cereal productions involved in as impenetrable mystery as the occult sciences have brought to the cognition of man. The insolvable ego of bioplastic co-ordination ——” “Hold on! hold on! What J meant was, what is the value of wheat, in——” ‘Oh! ah, yes, to be sure, I understand. Wheat, my dear sir, contains the greatest quantity of gluten an the smallest of starch. All of the middle part of the grain is occupied by large, thin cells, filled with a yellowish material very rich in ni- trogeneous—that is, flesh-forming matter. Be- yond this again there are six thin coats or cov- erings containing much mineral matter. The mill product of these coverings of the seed are peculiarly rich in nutriment, and fine flour is robbed of its best elements, rendering it unfit for any creature except a\Monophodont; fru- ges consumere nati.” ‘“ But, my dear Philoso- phers this is no time for limz et mura, What came here for was to get the latest Chicago quotation on wheat.” “Ah, excuse me. Quod bonum, felix faustumque sit. Au revoir.” And the Philosopher stepped out and left us to the mercenary pursuit of the reporter in search of news.— Burlington Hawkeye.
