Tlmd Stevens [plural-c Judge. trying a case before a Judge noted for his ignorance of the law. During the trial the Judge made a ruling which greatly incensed him, when, with hands trembling and his thin face red— dened, he began to tie up his papers. “Do I understand," asked the pompous Judge, “that you are trying to show contempt for this court 7" No, sir,” retorted Stevens; "i am not trying to show contempt for this court.- On the contrary, I'm doing my best to con- ceail it."——Ti£ne and Hour ”\J Thad Stevens was once engaged in, PILING ON THE AGONY. ' :rilliunt Oratorlcal Powers of the Man with :1. Show. When a man begins to brag he must be very careful to keep track 01 what he says. An amusing instance of the results of not doing so was shown in the case of the manager of a music hall in the north of England, who, although a most illiterate man, prided himself not a. little on his brilliant or- atorical powers, and made it a practice in the course of the programme every Saturday night to announce the lead- ing items of the forthcoming week’s entertainment. One evening he fin— ished his weekly speech in the. follow— ing remarkable terms: “Last, but not least, ladies and gen- tlemen, allow me to inform you that at an enormous expense I have exclusively engaged the ,_,marvelous Bromdee brothers, the world-famed acrobats, to appear here in their cele- brated entertainment for six nights, commencing Monday next; Understand. ladies and gentlemen, the Bromdee brothers, the champion acrobuts of the world.” Here he paused for a moment to re- gain his breath, and then proudly con- tinued: ' “Yes; and what’s more, on Monday week we’ve got a troupe coming what can knock ’em into a cocked hat!”— Harper’s Round Table. MUSIC IN A TOMB. anurite Airs of a Deceased Husband Played Daily in a Vault. A gentleman who died some time ago, was passionately fond of music. Long ago he requested that, whichever of the two departed first, the survivor should honor the memory of the de- ceased by having a music box or some similar instrument placed in the sepul- cher and played at frequent inter— vals. _ .The sexton at the cemetery agreed to allow the widow to place a small oak table at the head of the casket, on which were a. handsome music box and a vase of flowers. She visits the cem- etery daily, rain or shine, and pays musical reverence to the memory of the deceased. While the favorite airs of sacred melody are being rendered she calmly sits on the casket close to the vase and lovingly communes with the spirit of the deceased. More than 200 bodies are stored in the big vault, and as the silence is so dense that a heartbeat almost creates an echo, the impressive but weird notes of the mu- sic floating-over the caskets and emerg- ing through the iron-grated doors fair- ly border on the supernatural—Pitts- burg Dispatch. To llln'ke Good Coffee. It is a little curious that the most. ‘ expert authorities, almost without ex- ception. fell back upon the old—fashion- ed coffee—pot as the one which, prop- erly looked after, produces the best coffee. The reason this is not true in the average kitchen is because the qualification mentioned is not careful- ly observed. One mistress insists not only that the inside of the.coffee-pot shall be clean, but that it shall be pol- ished—this not because she cares for the polish, but because in this way the absolute cleanliness of the inter- ior is insured. The deposit of sedi- ment from many coffee-makings final- ly effects the flavor of all brews made in the pot. Care, too, should be taken to keep the inside of the tea-kettle free from deposit, and with pure, freshly boiled water, a. good grade of coffee, the fourth of a whole egg—shell and all—with five-minute boiling, and ,prompt service at the table, the old- fashioned pot, be it of tin, copper, bri- tannia, agate, or what not, is still the peer of any in the long list of spa- cial coffee—pots to be found in any housefurnishing shop. _ Plants in Mexiéo. ‘ Down in Mexico the caster bern. which we think does pretty well for us if it stands up ten or twelve feet "in its stockings,” grows to be a to: thirty feet high, with hard wood and orthodox bark.

Scientific Problem. Agassiz was studying a fossil fish in the Jardin des Plantes, says W. J. Stillman in London Spectator, but had never been able to determine the spe- cies to his satisfaction. After a time he dreamed that he caught the very fish, and without difliculty determined the question, thinking“. as he woke from the dream that he would now have no difficulty. But en returning to the fossil, something in the dream had es- caped him, and he could no more de- termine the species than before. The next night he had the Same dream, and again forgot the essential point. He then determined to take a. pencil and paper with him to bed,,and make his note as soon as he awoke. The dream came the third time, but'to his surprise on fully awakening he found- the drawing made and lying 09 the ta.- blc at his bedside, with three bones displayed in it which were not visible in the fossil, and which solved the problem. On returning to the Jardin des Plantes he obtained permission of his friend, the director, to chip away a ' scale of stone which lay on the :‘pot . where the bones were in the drawing. and found them there as his (ll-u"'l:.; had given them. It is thirty , -..rs since Agassiz told me the incident. but those who have access to his history of the Nor’th American fishes will be able to read it in his own words in the inn troduction, and correct my version if my memory has in any detail failed me.
