HUMOROUS JOTTINGS. -
HUMOROUS JOTTINGS. Often decided with a toss up.—A bull fight. The great bone of contention is the jaw-bone. A fetching costume usually fetches a big price. The early angler catches the womn- and a cold. A rich man's heirs are glad enough to take up with his leavings. A young lady can stand up straight and still be bent on marriage. When a rich man bequeaths his property, he does it in a willing way. You can't get a portrait taken secretly the photographer is bound to expose it. A girl with too many strings to lier bow may never get tied in a knot with any one of them. When a debtor puts on airs and his creditors gets wind of it they sometimes come to blows. Jorkins says he isn't much of a botanist, but he does have quite a liking for the flours of the mill plant. 0 A girl may not 1)e able to hit the side of a house with a brick, but she can always throw kisses straight. The average wife has little difficulty in keeping her husband well in hand once she gets him under her thumb. The greatest trial of patience is a stammering barrister examining a stuttering witness in the presence of a deaf judge. There is a marked coolness between the man who drives an ice wagon and the custodian of the tongs on the rear step. A Canadian Indian has accomplished the feat of running twelve miles an hour. His wife chased him the first two miles, however. IVell, Whirley, did you find that the divine young creature returned your love? "Yes, just as soon as I offered it to her." The Rescuer "How did you come to fall in ? The Rescued: "I didn't come to fall in; I came to fish." It is hard to lose a friend to see them slipping from you one by one but it is harder still to find a towel with your eyes full of soap. The latest fad in high life in Paris is perfumed butter. What would strike a popular chord in this country would be perfumea gorgozola cheese. Sharks won't bite a swimmer who keeps his legs in motion. If you can keep kicking longer than a shark can keep waiting, you'll be all right. Aunt Mary Poor Budge t Does your tooth ache yet? If 'twere mine, dear, I'd have it out at once." Budge: "If twere yours I Well, auntie, so would I." A romantic young woman in Kansas wrote her name and address on an egg, and in a few weeks she had an ova-tare for marriage from a Brooklyn grocer. It is supposed his proposal read, Shell we bear the matrimonial yolk ?'> "Do you have your shirts done up at a lauudry ?" asked Hojack. "I do," replied Tomdick, "and it requires only about three washings to do them up very exhaustively." Do you carefully weigh your words when you write letters?" "No; the post-office clerk always does that." A little quarrel now and then helps a love affair." "Yes; the lover leaves off buying roses, and gets a chance to catch up with the tailor's bill." Mr".

Ethel: Jack insists that I shall return his engagement ring, and for the life of me 1 can t tell which one it is."

"I did not expect you would shed tears because I'm going to take your daughter away," said the bridegroom elect. It is for you that I'm weeping, young man," said the old gentle- man, as he carefully thumbed the stubs of his cheque book. I Young Miss Wilgus Where are you going, papa ?

AMERICANISMS.
AMERICANISMS. IT IS NOT FOR HIM. He entered the city hall by way of the Fort Street entrance, and walking stiffly down the oorridor until he met the offioer on duty, he said: Sir I have been informed that the laws of Michigan require a man to secure a licen&t before he c&a wed the being of his choice I" Yes, air-got to have a license." I must pay cash for that license." Yes, sir." 1 must give names, ages, and all that ? "Yes, sir." And the fact that I have a license must be published in the papers ? I believe the papers publish the license." Sh I" exclaimed the man, as he stepped back to give full play to his arms, I charac- terise the matter as a gross outrage It is worthy of Nero in his palmiest days You might expect such things in Borneo, but here in Michighn-humph 1" Did you want to get a license? quietly asked the officer. "No, sir—never! Am, I a dog or a junk- wngori that I should walk up and be tagged and numbered and recolded I When I was told that such a thing as «. license was required in this civilized state before one could enter into the holy bonds of wedlock, I called my informant a liar I "Well, you'll" have to get one," said the officer, as he shook his fist oA a utakh-boy who was trying fcooslip upstaira. Never For the last year I have loved an angel. I have asked her to be mine, and she has laid her head on my breast and consented. But will I pay cash for a tag, as if she were my dog Will I permit her name and age to appear in cold print, as if she had been run over by a butcher-cart! I will die first." Might go to some state where licenses are not required." "I will, sir-I will!" shouted the caller. I will go to the ends of the ea/rth before I will submit to such a degradation I will now return to the angel who awaits me with bated breath and palpitating heart, and I will say to her: 'Are we dogs and fish-carts and junk-wagons, or are we human beings! If we are human beings let us fly together to the Fiji Islands and be made one, and show the state of Michigan that we have proper pride and spirit.' That's what I'll say, sir, and she will agree with me, and we will f-l-y J "Well, I hope yon luck," replied the officer as he moved away. I I No, sir—no, sir I" shouted the man, as he waved both arms—" I want none of your hopes I You are a minion of the law I scorn your law. I repudiate your barbaric customs, and take my cherished one and go hence in search of civilization 1" And he went hence by the Michigan Avenue entrance, and slipped on the steps and rolled down to the sidewalk, and as be got up and limped away he dngs his heels into the frozen soil of the great state of Michigan in a way that made pedestrians stop and wonder.
- A TENNESSEE BOY THOUGHT…
A TENNESSEE BOY THOUGHT HAIR. DRESSING A DEAL OF TROUBLE. When I was down in the Tenessee moun- tains, doing my turn in that peculiar and primitive section," observed the special pension agent, I had at various times such glimpses of life as you pampered children of the luxuri- ous capital never get. I remember one June morning I arose from my simple bed of clap- boards on the loft floor of a log cabin and pro- ceeded down a ladder to -the earth, thence 100 yards down to the creek, where I was afforded ample opportunity for my matutinal ablutions, as the stream was big enough to run a saw mill with. As I splashed my face in the clear water and spluttered over it after the usual fashion of a man who likes to wash his face, I was joined by the ten-year-old son of a family with which I was stoppmg. He stood on the shore watch- ing me with much interest, which I am glad to say I returned with zest, for he was a pic- ture boy. He was sandy and freckled, and didn t look as if he had had a both in the memory of man. His clothes were simple enough, consisting of a cotton shirt and a made- over pair of papa's pantaloons, and there was no hat to hiae a head of hair which I am posi- tive never felt the penetrating and persuading influence of a comb. He was too much inter- ested in the mysteries of my toilet to say any- 1 thing until I took out a pocket comb and began to use it on my tangled locks. After a tug or two at it, looking at him meanwhile, he spoke. Say, mi-,ter,'be said, curiously, 'have Yer got to do tha there ?' Do what there ?' I smiled in reply. That there that yer doin' You mean combing my hair? Yes. Of course it has to be done.' Every mornin' this erway ?' r J( c Certainly.' Well, geewhillerkins, mister,' he said, with much feeling, you must be a heap «' *roufcJ« to ycrself.'

-,-. BORAL LIFE. ;
BORAL LIFE. BY A SON OF THE SOIL I ADVICE TO POULTRY BUTSBf. The little handbook, "Succewful Poultry Farm- log," published at a popular price by Mr. W. Vai". of South Norwood, the weil'known and SU': t-sfni specialist in all diseases of poultiy and the feathered tribe generally, contains advice I that cannot be overlooked. The following extract, in the article "Advice to Buyers," will I thiuk, just meet the requirements of one or two correspondents who have lately written me on the subject: To ascertain the health of a fowl it should be systematically examined. Com- mencing at its head, run your eye all over both sides of its body, and then take a general look, taking particular notice of the colour of its comb, face, and wattles. Do this while it is cm1 the ground, compelling it to walk; at the «m«m> time notice if it is at all stiff, or lame, or holds its head to one side. A dark comb is a sign of congestion, while a pate or flabby comb, if not a sign of any specific disease, shews that the fowl is out of condition. Stiffness may be the result of rheumatism,and lameness may indicate the presence of liver disease. Holding the head A SILVER WYAMDOTTB. I to one tide may result from blindness or from I the fowl being wry-necked. Note whether it is wrytailed. Examine the mouth and throat to see if there is any discolouration, ulceration, or thickening of the secretions in the mouth. This Is by far the most important part of the exami- nation, for though there is apparently nothing the matter with the fowl beyond a thickening of the secretions that are poured into the mouth, that may be a symptom of serious disorder, and a sufficient reason for declining to purchase such a fowl. Examine the abdomen, by gentle pressure, to see if there is any hard substance in its lower or hindermost part, which may be a tumour or fallen gizzard. An egg in the oviduct should not be mistaken for one of these, and it need not be, for an egg would lie close to the left side, while a fallen giziard would shew in the middle, and a tumour is rarely found on the left side. It the walls of the abdomeu are firm and unyiel iing, the fowl is too fat. and, there- fore, only fit for killing, as it would never prove a good lay r after having been allowed to get overloaded with fat. TIlE BLACX-AN»-TAN TJUUaJD. I am gltd to learn from a London admirer of the Manchester or black-and-tan terrier that an effort is being made to revive interest in the variety among South of England breeders. It is, in fact, proposed to form a club, which will have for one of its main objects the popularising of a breed which during the last few years has gradually become scarcer and scarcer. At the National Dog Show at Birmingham the other day the number of black-and-tan terriers benched was surprisingly small; indeed, were it not for the patronage of Colonel Dean, I believe the smart little dog would have long since become almost, if not quite, extinct as a show variety. The particulars of its points which I append may prove of use to my Wolverhampton corre- spondent. The head should be long, flat, and narrow,level and wedge-shaped, without shewing I A TYPICAL B&aCK-AXD-TAX TEBKIEB. theek muscles, well filled up under eyes, with tapering, tightly-lipped jaws, and level teeth. Bars, if cropped, must stand perfectly erect; if nncropped, email and V-shaped, hanging close to the head above the eyes. The latter should be small, sparkling and dark, set. fairly close together, and oblong in shape. The nose dense Mack. The neck fairly long, tapering from shoulders to head, free frum throatiness, and slightly arched. The shoulders sloping, and the chest narrow but deep. The body moderately short; ribs well sprang; back slightly arched at the loin, falling again at joining of the tail to the same height as the shoulders. The legs must be straight, set on well under the dog, and of fair length. The tail of moderate length, thick where it joins the body, tapering to a point, but not carried higher than the back. The coat lose, smooth and glossy, not soft. In colour the black- and-tan terrier should be jot black and rich mahogany brown, distributed ever the body. A STOMF, OR STOMP Extractob. From an Ameri ~a.ii friend I have at leagth got particulartl of "The Lemire," a stone or stump I extractor. It is unique of its kind, and can raise, carry off, and put in a fence 4it. to 5tt. high the stones extracted. Fences can thus be I readily built by its aid. and land, can just as I easily be cleared of stones or stumps la order to raise a stone, use the lever, and the books A USEFUL FAfcM APPLIANCB. ■q0» 0 tII11 m t.tq 43M tn pMin&M 11 'paw mpan ffufc-wpoq «m 9at| £ u«> eq) Jwaow eNJ. eq Ymnat poob oawq ppwqs 8g 199q 4v apiAL pen Ideop taig oq pjnoqf 4»3j 0iu. •3aido?« Á(80!U p1!V 3uo^[»f«wpo<n (jnq ao VqSiMjt eq 50a ptneqs gmwlnd eqx ptre neJ ottt saeiM»q 4JOi|a eq pin 0^1 Atotaq seqom 1I9A919 xrefftwat 30a -femrata pjnoqt pu. 6pŒno.r 30a lauoq 4vg.vq plnoqu n°!1 aqJ.

They improve the land, not only by the plant food which they contain, but mots, perhaps, by the mechanical influence which they exert upon it. Tliey make it more porous, ana they also enable it to hold more moisture. Bat farmers ma; be so situated that they can use S large proportion at least of the tops grown Sf feed for stock. When they car., it will probably pay to do so. They can be drawn and fed to cattle or other animals. When the farmer hat lotsof good diligent bova, one of them can spend a part of the day in doing this work, and the others may sometimes help him. One of the little fellows can deive while an older boy pitches on the tops. >49ood boya will not cons- plain when they e such work to do.

Paris is undoubtedly a claweity, the streets there being kept in perfect order, free from oil mud and litter. Considering that over 3,000 cleaners find daily employment, we can add Well it might be. t In Franoe last year tasao were paid on no lass than 408,569 bievdea, bringing in a nice little revenue of £ 169,000. This certainly seems a large total of cycliate, but the bicycle is extremely popular out there and is extensively used in country distriota: jwi in touch with railways.

The learning school has a oourse six miles in length containing all manner of obstacles and oorves, so that the men will be thoroughly prepared for all emergencies that may occur in the streets- 4 We cannot say that- the large gear wheels and long cranks tend to improve the appearance of hioyoles on exhibition at the two cycle shows; they rather tend to make the bottom bracket region of the machine look clumsy. Possibly it is because the eye is tmaccnr* to these abnormities, much in the sam. ay that the pneumatic tyre, or boater tyre as tlleT were first called, received much opposition on their introduction by the mere fact of their nnsightliuese. Still., putting on one side all tiongl-ti; of appearance, there can be no dunying the fact that the new fad of high gearing wig sadly demoralise the majority of risers, who will find that in spite of the increase in the length of cranks, that cycling is a labour up the smallest rise oc against the slightest wind. Bar comfortable and non-speed riding the cyclist should not hare a gear exceeding 70. One about 64 or 68 --is tbe most suitable for every- day riding. The mud-guards aapplied by eyele manufac- turers are not all that might be desired, nor do wc find satisfaction with the detachable guaeds at present on the market—there is this great feature lacking, viz, they do-not thoroughly protect the wheeler or his wheel. All thoughts as to looks must be disregarded if a serviceable article is to be had, for even a guard three inches wide will not effactuallv keep the nud off, especially at this n ot the year when the highways are geognUj in a state of gwawp. "0- '.<« Now the mud-guards on our own machine are of amateur production and tend to give the cycle more the appearanoe of a paddle steamer than of a speedy bike, still they do their work, which is all that is required of them. They consist of a choese box, or drum, out in half, bent out and fixed to the cycle by the ordinary method of rods from spindles. Then vnth a ooating of black enamel the guards arc com- I plete. There is this to be said about them, that however bad the Toads may be, both the rider and machine are kept perfectly clean — We do not believe that secretaries of all our cycling clubs axe fully-aware that the Dunlop Pneumatic Tyre Company have a complete I apparatus for the aniniatograph, together with all appurtenances for showing the views, which they are prepared to loan dubs on application. It is a difficult thing to find amusement for club-men in the winter months, therefore this 1 offer should prove a valuable acquisition for spending an enjoyable evening. Ordinary lantern slides are also supplied, and application 3 I should be addrcmsed to the offices at lGiJ. Clerkenwell Road, London, EC. I One of the oldest cycling clubs in the world, the Piekwick B. C will assemble a.t Frascati's on December 10th, to carry out their annual dinner. To old cyclists the name of the club will probably be familiar, for they were tetive in their youth, though for some considerable number of years now they have only been heard II of at this festive time. There is this peculiarity about the Pickwick B. C,; every member oil ¡ election, selects some character from Dit ken'» Pickwick Papers, and by the name of that character he is always.known and spoken of by his fellow clubmen. < £ We have often observed the reckless manner in which horsy occupaarts of traps drive their fast trotters from race meetings, and there- fore were not surprised to kear that one of these gentlemen returning from Sandown, managed, to collide with a lady cyclist, completely Jestroy- her machine. With all credit to the driver we would mention that he had paid the lady £ 5 for damage to cycle But refused, to give any- thing for personal injuries, so an action was brought resulting in the plaintiff receiving a verdict of £ 15. We advocate winter riding, but it must be done discriminately. Such speed as will maka you unduly warm should be avoided, unless you are going under shelter or into a warm room at the journeys end. Then again, distances wiU require curtailing in winter, for you are not only out of form, but the cold has a numbing ,,ec, effeot upon the muscles. Withduell, i-ition, and efficient equipment against mud and wet, winter cycling will be wand beneficial and, enjoyable.
