BY THE WAY repu American cities have an established tation for being cosmopolitan, but the fact has rarely been brought more vividly to mind than by this characterization of present-day Boston by a writer in "Collier's:" "Italy swarms the doorstep of the house of John Hancock. Tipperary camps at the base of the Bunker Hill Monument. In the shadows of the steeple where the lanterns hung for Paul Revere I have heard English often, but Italian oftener. Of all who rub elbows with you in Boston's streets, only one in three is the native-born American child of native-born American parents." The oldest joke, according to the "Argonaut," is the one about the Irishman who was handling dynamite in a quarry. He let a stick drop, and the whole box went up, taking Mike with it. The quarry boss came around later and said to another Irishman : "Where's Mike?" "He's gone," replied Pat. "When will he be back?" asked the boss. "Well," replied Pat, "if he comes back as fast as he went, he'll be back yesterday." In trying to account for the habits of certain insects which work resolutely toward a goal which they never experience, Professor J. A. Thomson, in his Gifford Lectures, says: "Many digger-wasps, for instance, make elaborate preparations for offspring which they never survive to see. ... Probably some sop unknown to us is given to the individual's interests and satisfactions. . . . For certain tropical wasps Roubaud has shown that the queens and workers receive from the grubs, which they assiduously tend and feed, small quantities of a secreted elixir of which they are extraordinarily fond. For certain kinds of ants there is a similar give and take. The workers feed the grubs with chewed flesh, but they receive from their charges a douceur of secretion which seems to keep them in good heart." "I was appalled," writes a minister, on going into a Negro church in North Carolina, to be introduced in these words: "We shall now hear from our extinguished brothah from the No'th.'" "A man gave his grocer an order for consecrated milk and desecrated cocoanut.' "A man biles are HALFONTE Atlantic City! Famous for its delightful climate the year round, its invigorating sea air, its Boardwalk and endless amusements -and hospitable home-like Chalfonte THE LEEDS COMPANY ATLANT CITY BY THE WAY (Continued) most every man that has one has to hire a chiffonier.'" "He is the most igruntest, sarcasticest igneanimous I ever saw." "An old gentleman the other day referred to the Boy Scoots." "A student was called upon to criticise a paper just read by a classmate. His chief point of adverse comment, he said, was his fellow-student's pronounciation.' (This is matched by a dictated letter from a subscriber in which the typist writes, "A teacher said the letter r had no sound of its own in pronounciation, but that its sound was indentical with that of the Italian a.") "A woman telling of her daughter's homesickness said, It was really heartrendering to see her.' A. D. Mutz, an engineer of the Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Paul road, met his death in a way that illustrates the promptness of a good railway man in trying to avoid accident; his instinctive heroism deserves recognition. He was off duty and standing at a station in Montana, with his wife, preparatory to boarding a passenger train. Forty runaway cars came plunging down the grade toward a gravel train at the station. He jumped on the locomotive and tried to get the gravel train off on a siding. Before he could quite succeed in clearing the main line, however, the runaway cars crashed into his train and killed him and five.others. "Can any of your readers tell me," a subscriber writes, "when rocking-chairs became so popular in this country? Were they originally introduced from England or from the Continent? They are rarely seen in England to-day. I doubt if you could buy one from stock in either London or Paris shops to-day, though they may once have been popular in France, for I believe one is shown in the house occupied by Napoleon during his exile in the island of Elba, from which one would infer that the Emperor was accustomed to use it." Examples of current English humor: The Ruling Passion.-Mother-" Why are you pulling everything out of the cupboard?" Joan (aged 9)-"I'm looking for the diary I kept when I was a little girl." From the "Passing Show:" Life's Painful Moments.-When, after patiently waiting one's turn at the barber's for a customer who is being shaved, he suddenly demands a haircut, a singe, and a shampoo. From the London "Mail:" Romantic Parent (on beach)-"Some people say they can still see people smuggling on this beach at night.' Little Boy-"Yes, I know-grandma` says it's disgusting-night after night the same people." From the "Passing Show:" Butler-"The old-clothes man is outside, sir." "Then ask him if he has anything that will fit me, James." Here is a skit from Vienna on the tendency to unionize everything: From the "Humoristische Blaetter:" In the Thieves' Kitchen.-" I know a fine crib you can crack in the West district." "Can't be done. My operations are limited by the union to the Eastern district."
