take her case. There innst be it limit
to even a woman's flippancy."
"Why, I>r. ? , what tlo you uiean?"
asked the family doctor mildly. "1
have always found Mrs. Jones a lady
In every way."
"Perhaps," answered the specialist
surgeou, more calmly, but with dry
severity. "She asked me why a sur
was like a beu. And when I gave
It up, what do you think she said?"
"1 give It up, too," s'ald the fatully
doctor.
"Because his .motto Is always 'Cut
cut-cut, ah, cut.' Wasn't that the
limit?"
"And that woman has been under

A Bit Too Raaliatio.
Some amateurs In a provincial town
gave a theatrical performance. Just
before the curtain went up the star
actor took the manager aside and said
to him:
"Now, look here: I don't propose to
drink water Instead of wine lu the
drinking sceue lu the second act. 1
want wine- genuine wiue. The uni
ties must be preserved. We want to
make this play as realistic as possl
ble."
"Oh. you wuut cbumpague at IS sliil
Hugs a bottle, do you?"
"Yes, sir. Everything must lie re
alistic."
"All right. In the second act you
shall have real wine, and when you
take polsou In the last act you shall
have some real poison. I'll see that
you don't complalu of the play not be
lug realistic enough. How does prus
sic add strike you?"? I.oudou Tit-Bits.
Writing aa a Fin* Art.
in a letter written by the lata Lafca

critic, H. K. Krehblel, the author says:
"let me dwell upon an art. principle

ism. We have also un art authorship
The same system of labor cannot be
applied to the one as to the other with
out uufortunate results. Let the trade
be performed as mechanically as is
consistent with preservation of one's
reputation as a good workman. But
wheu It comes to wrltiug a durable
thing? a book or a brochure? every line
ought to be written at least twice. If
posslMe, three times. In the very act
of copylug new Ideas of grace, force
and harmony will make themselves
manifest. Without this, I will venture
to say, tine literary executlou Is im
possible."

the royal pleasure with regard to what

U practiced on Sunday. The king lntl
mated that "no lawful recreation should

were bear aud bull lighting, bowling

Striking ? Fish.
The secret of striking a dsh, espe
cially a trout, which bites quickly,
whether In brook, river or lake. Is to
give a sharp upturn of the wrist. This
will move the rod or bait only two or
three Inches aud will not Jerk It from
the wafer. If you miss the Ush will
follow the few Inches, not being fright
ened. and lu the majority of cases will
be hooked at once. The quick Jerking
of the bait from the water almost in
variably scares a trout? result, a dark
streak disappearing down the stream.
If Glaseae Qst Stuck.
When two glasses get stuck, one in
side the other, an unfailing remedy for
separating them Is to pluuge them up
right Into some hot water for a quarter
of a minute or thereabouts. Care must
be taken that no water gets Into either
glass. The explanation Is that the beat
expands the outer glass before It has
time to penetrate and expand the one
inside.
