Chorus. "Why, what's the matter?"

Freddy. "The teacher said I was sharp to-day, and you might get cut."


Mother. "Frank, what is baby crying about?"

There is a story going the rounds of the British press about two very distinguished archæologists—Sir William Wilde and Dr. Donovan. It seems that these two gentlemen made an excursion to the Isles of Arran, where interesting remains of archæological nature have been found.

They came across a little rough stone building, and both entered into a fierce argument as to the exact century of its erection. Finally each claimed a date, one giving it the sixth century, and the other a later one.
