SOME SOCIAL SLI P3.
Things That Were Better Left Unsaid on
”Various Blundersome Occasions.
“I beg your pardon, madam, but you
are sitting on my hat,” exclaimed __,a
gentleman. “Oh, pray excuse me; I
thought it was my husband’s,” was the
unexpected reply. In another instance
of conjugal amenities a wife said to her
husband: “I saw Mrs. Becker this
morning and she complained that on
the occasion of her last visit you were
so rude to her that she thought she
must have offended you.” “Nothing of
the kind,” he answered. “On the con-
trary, I like her very much; but it was
rather dark at the time, and when I
entered the room at first I thought it
was you.”
“Poor J ohn—he was a kind and for-
bearing husband,” sobbed John’s
widow on her return from the funeral.
“Yes,” said a sympathizing neighbor;
“but it is all for the best. You must
try to console yourself, my dear, with
the thought that your husband is at
peace at last.”
A gentleman had accompanied a
friend [home to dinner, and as they:
seated themselves at the table the
hostess remarked: “I trust that you
will make allowanées, Mr. Blankley.
My servant left me unexpectedly and I
was compelled to cook the dinner my-
self.” “Oh, certainly, my dear madam,
certainly,” responded the guest, with
great emphasis; “I can put up with
anything.”
~- Another amusing slip took the form
of an‘unhappy after-dinner speech.
There was an entertainment given by
an earl deservedly popular. It was ex-
tremely handsome and champagne
flowed freely. The evening was well
advanced when a benignant old gentle-
man rose to propose a toast. . He spoke
with fluency, but somehow he said ex-
actly the opposite to what he meant.
“I feel,” he said, “that for a plain coun-
try squire like myself to address this
learned company is indeed to cast
pearls before swine.” Never was so
successful a speech made. He could
. get no further for many minutes. The
company applauded vociferously and
as though they would never cease.
“Now, Miss Brown,” said an earnest
listener, “won’t you play something for
us?” “No, thank you,” said the lady;
“I’d rather hear Mr. Jones.” Earnest
Listener—“So would I, but—” Here
he was stopped by the expression on
the young lady’s face; and he looked
confused for half an hour after she had
indignantly turned and left him. A
person who was recently called into
court for the purpose of proving the
correctness of a surgeon’s bill was asked
whether the doctor did not make several
visits after the patient was out of dan-
ger. “No,” replied the witness; “I con-
sidered the patient in danger as long
as the doctor continued his visits.”
A physician walking with a friend
said to him: “Let us avoid that pretty
little woman you see there on the left.
She knows me and casts on me looks
of indignation. I attended her hus-
band.” “Ah, I understand. You had
the misfortune to (I15- fe-tch him,” was
the remark that slipped out. “On the
contrary,” replied the doctor, “I saved
him!” A guest at a country inn ex-
claimed: “I say, landlord, your food is
worse than it was last year!” “Impos-
sible, sir,” was the rather ambiguous
reply of the landlord. “Why,” said a
counsel to a witness, “are you so_ pre-
cise in your statement? Are you afraid
of telling an untruth?” Witness
(promptly)——“No, sir.” At a recent in-
'quiry into the sanity of a young man of
large property witnesses were being
called to prove that he was unfit to
manage his affairs. . A curious slip was
made by a schoolmaster when asked if
he had formed any opinion as to the
state of mind of the alleged lunatic.
“Oh, yes,” he replied, “I can certify
he is an idiot. He was one of my favor-
ite pupils.” “I have met this man,”
said a lawyer with extreme severity,
“in a great many places where I would
be ashamed to be seen myself,” and
then he paused and looked with sur-
prise at the smiling courtand jur .—-—

He Puzzled the Professor.
The late Prof. Stephen J. Young, of
Bowdoin, was an accomplished linguist.
One day he was on a train bound from
Bangor to Brunswick, when a con-
, ' ductor who knew him entered his car
to ask him to come out to the second-
class coach to try and find out where a
cei'tain stupid foreigner was going.
The conductor had attacked him in all
the foreign lingo he could muster, and
could get no other response than a
stupid stare. ' -
Prof. Young went back to the rear of
the train. The passenger sat there,
‘ looking very’ much disturbed and be-
wildered. The professor went'at him
in Ganadian French, then in German, y
then in the languages of Scandinavia,
Egypt, Italy, Spain and every other
country on the face of the green earth.
Still the passenger sat “mnm as an ,

Preventing Rust 'on Tools.
There, are many ways of preventing
rust from accumulating on iron tools.
Some of the newer recipes are thus
given by the Canadian .Engineer: Dis-
solve one-half ounce of camphor' in one
pound ,of melted lard, take off the
scum and mix in as much black lead
(graphite) as will give it an iron color.
Smear the tools with this mixture, and
after twenty-four hours rub clean
with a soft linen cloth. Another coat-
ing is made by mixing slowly six
ounces of lard to one ounce of resin,
and stirring till cool. When settled
this is ready for use. ‘

{THERE ARE FEW IDEAL SPRINGS.
Practical Aspect of the Season as Com-
pared with Poets’ Fancies.
The poets are largely responsible for
the popular notion that the normal
spring should be all sunshine, mild-
ness and flowers, instead of the mix-
ture of cold and warmth and alternate
storm and fairness which it usually is.
Occasionally, however, a poet has
“caught on” to the actual facts. It is
common, especially in this latitude, to
regard each particular spring as later
and more disagreeable than any of its
predecessors. But backward springs
are not novelties, as Lowell showed
. when he made Hosea Bigelow say:
“I rather like our backward springs
That kind 0’ haggle with their greens and
things.”
The truth is, spring is a very indefi-
nite quantity and neither bird, beast
nor man is its accurate prophet. Every
year about March time people are
seized with wonder at the backward-
ness of the season—wonder not un-
moved with irritation. “Loud were the
recent denunciations at its dilatori-
ness. Never was the month such a lion
before! 'et if my memory servesllme
aright we had a flurry of snow on April
17 of last year and, in many preceding
years during the first week of that
month,‘ I have tracked the. footprints
of the rabbit in the snow.” It seems
not to be« a question of comparison,
however. Winter, before it is through,
drags on the best of us. We want the
warmth, the verdure. and the birds
again before we have lived out the al-
lotted term of cold and snow, and so,
each year, we rebel.—Boston Tran-
script. -
A Queen’s Scientific Experiments.
The king of Portugal and his entire
court are rejoicing over the zeal and in-
dustry with which Queen Amelie is de-
voting herself to the st‘udy of the
Roentgen light. Her majesty puts in
all her time now in photographing King
Carlos and the ladies and gentlemen of
the court in order to discover what
their skeletons are like. For several
years the queen has been a rapt student
of medicine, and in her enthusiastic
pursuit of medical science and by her
experiments has reduced some of her
ladies in: waiting almost to death’s
door. Now that the queen has a new
hobby, the Portuguese court rejoices,
especially *the king, as the queen was oi»
ways insisting upon his trying new
methods discovered by herself for re-
ducing his growing corpulcncy. It is
even said that in consequence the king’s
gratitude to Roentgen the professor is
to be invited to the court at Lisbon, and
will receive a high decoration from his
majesty—Washington Times.
Vulgarizing Roentgen Rays.
Roentgen rays are becoming vulgar-
ized rapidly. Prof. Brouardel,'of the
municipal laboratory of Paris has used
them to find the contents of infernal
machines, and has seen nails, screws,
cartridges and even the grains of powder
in a bomb. An Englishman asserts
that he can tell pure claret from adul-
ierated by the use of the rays. In Ber-
lin they have been introduced in a new
farce. An English photographer, who
sent out a picture of a foot showing an
imbedded needle, received a telegram
from acustomer, saying: “Photograms
received very tame. Send more sensa-
tional ones, such as interior of belly,
backbone, brains, liver, kidneys, heart,
lungs, sou].”——N. Y. Sun.

His Assailant, George H. Sample, now-
‘ ever, W’ill Probably Die.
‘ NEW YORK, June 17.—Presidcnt George
'H. Wyckofi of the Bank of New Amster-
dam, who was shot yesterday, will prob-
ably recover. it was learned today. His as.
sailant was positively identified during the
night as George H. Sample, a clad; 23
years Old, living at 37 West Eighty-second
street. The hospital authorities refused to'
say how they discovered the man's iden-
tity, but assured reporters that Sample
was his right name. The man now lies in
a very precarious condition. At 10 o’clock
a woman who said she was Sengple’s wife,
with her. mother, reached th hospital.
She Seemed much affected, refused to give
reporters any Information and was usher-
ed at once to her husband’s bedside. Sem-
ple looked at his wife, but It is not known
whether he recognized her or not. His
wife sobbed and leaned over the bedside
trying to speak to her husband. Mrs.
’ Sample’s mother remained at the hospital
for about one hour, and then left, going
hurriedly away. She was again intercept-
ed by reporters, and again refused to talk,
merely saying that the facts justified her
in refusing to be interviewed. An effort
was made to get her to reveal her own
name, but this, too, was without success.
The police remained at the hospital during
the night and made repeated attempts to
get Sample to talk. It is not positively
known whether he finally disclosed his
identity to them or not, as they, too, were
disinclined to give accurate Information
about the matter. It is known. however,
that several people called at the hospital
during the night,seeking.to see the wound-
ed man upon" the pretext of identifying
him. It oculd not be learned today wheth-
erany of these were admitted or whether
the identification of the man was establish-
ed In this way. The hospital authorities
said that Mrs. Sample would be permitted
to remain with her husband as long as she
desired, as he was in such a condition that
he might die at any moment. Mrs. Sem-
ple is about 30 years old, below medium
height, and gives evidence of refinement.
It Is said that the couple have one child.
Mrs. Wyckcfi, who had watched at her
husband's bedside during the night, left
for a short interval today. She seemed
much encouraged at the improved condi-
tion of her husband. '
