NEW VARIETY OF COOKING.
Mother. "Freddie, pass the bread."
Freddie (who has been studying about minerals at school). "Do you want aluminum bread, or the other kind?"
Mother. "What do you mean?"
Freddie. "One is very light and the other isn't."
SOME NATURAL HISTORY.
Tripsey. "I wonder does the catamaran feed on mice?"
Fripsey. "Yes; and the dromedary maid gives him cheese that she makes. The tomahawk catches young chickens for food, the wanderoo eats nothing on a journey, the spinning-jenny lives on cotton, the monkey-wrench apes the saw horse, and lives on wood; while the gunwale eats nothing, the toad-eater diets on favors, and the Welsh rabbit feeds everybody but himself. Animals are queer things, Trip."
