”A Man Sleeping in the Street.
A well dressed man leaning against a ,
lamppost and apparently sleeping the
sleep of the just created a great deal of
. interest in a busy London street the
other day. He sat on a box which he
had been carrying.
Evidently being suddenly overcome
with droWsiness', he had placed the box
on the curbstone. and sitting down upon,
' it had fallen asleep. To those who suc-
'ceeded in getting close enough to the
man his gentle, restful snore dispelled
. the fear that he might be dead. 'The
side of his face was exposed and be-
trayed no sign of intoxication. It was
the judgment of every one that he was
* sober, in good health and simply taking .
a quiet snooze.
When the crowl became so deep as to
threaten a. bloc kade, the supposed sleeper
'suddenly jumped to his feet, mounted
his box. and flourishing a. couple of bot~
ties over his head exclaimed:
“Now, gents, seein that you are all
here, I rise to a question of privilege.
and after thankin you for this most cor-
. dial reception. which I assure you will
long remain upon the tablets of my
memory, I wish to call your attention to
my world renowned corn and bunion

Reading of the Schoolboy.
Habits are contracted and characters
formed early in life. and it is probable
“ that the color of a person’s reading is
mainly determined during the time of
hobbledehoydom. when he is in process
of passing from the limp and lanky
schoolboy to the set and rigid man. Just
at this time is a most critical period in
his career, for now it is that he obtains
a new outlook into. life. Previously he
has been concerned with the miniature
world of school and looked at the great-
er world only with the eyes of a school-
boy. ‘ But now, entering a business or a
profession, he enters into a larger life and
begins to look about him with an air of
deeper inquiry. And the more he reads
of contemporary literature the worse
does he become, for the air is thick with
controversy. Nothing is too sacred to
be contradicted, and the spirit of "sweet
reasonableness" seems to be dead.»

Pretty Cold Weather.
Two boatmen on the Ohio river were
talking about cold weather and of a cer-
tain severe winter. “It was just awful,"
said one of them. At Cincinnati the
river was froze tight, and the thermom-
cter went down to 20 degrees below
Cairo.”
“Below which?" asked his puzzled
. companion.
“Below Cairo, you blubberhead'. You
see, when it freezes at Cairo it must be
pretty cold, so they say so many degrees
below Cairo."
But light Was bursting in upon the
other. “NO, they do not."_he exclaimed
eagerly. “You’ve got it all wrong. It’s
so many degrees below Nero. 1 do not
know what it means. but that's what
they say when it’s dreadful cold. "—Har-

Two Strange Meetings.
At table d'hote in a New York hotel
two strangers met about a year since.
An interesting conversation ended by
hearty pledges of mutual friendship.
Precisely six months later to the day
and almost to the hour they again met,
without the slightest prevision or prear-
rangement‘, at the same hotel and the
same table. During the interval each
had traveled arOund the world, one east-
' ward, the other westward—Exchange.

We were tumbling along in the old
street car, a tired and dirty lot of us,
bound for the depot. As we passed 1a.
certain undertaker’s shop on the way we
noticed that a big crowd had collected
at its doors—a hushed crowd, with white
faces and bated ”breath. A police patrol
was drawn up to the curbstone and four
brawny'ofiicers were lifting something
out of the wagon and carrying it within
the undertaker’s open gate. The some-
thing that lay beneath the old tarpaulin
was very still and outlined itself sharply
beneath the sable folds of the pall that
covered it. I turned away from the
sight, for there is that within me that
revolts from such sights as the butterfly
does from the thistle or the swift run-
ning boat from a capful of head wind.
I knew well enough what the “some-
thing" was. Ten minutes before per-
haps it had been a man, swinging like a
sailor on the uplifted ladder Where the
painter pursues his craft, or a careless
vagabond knocked down by a passing
vehicle and straightway ushered into the
audience chamber of the great and only
King, or a merry hearted boy spurned by
a flying wheel, or a tired old woman
"lifted high as heaven” by the tender
arms of death. I knew very well that
the awful something was once a breath-
ing, blundering mortal like myself and
that a sudden calamity had transferred
it into clay, how or in what terrible
manner I did not care tO‘see. But ev-
ery woman in the car in‘which I rode
jumped from her seat to watch the
grewsome thing I turned away from.
“Oh, I wish the cover would fall OE so
that We could see!” cried one.
"Lift Willie up so that .he can look!”
exclaimed a careful ('3) mother, making
room as she spoke for the nursegirl to
place the little boy in a better position.
N o sooner did all these Women gain a
vantage 'point from where they could
best behold the dreadful burden which
demess or care into the Waiting station
of the morgue than they began‘to trem-
ble and to cry.
“Oh, dear, how dreadful!” moaned
they in unison, while their fascinated
gaze was unaverted and their necks
were craned to see it all.
And then because I am a philosopher
in my own poor fashion and can no more
help philosophizing than a spider can
help spinning webs I said to myself.
