GEOGRAPHICAL NOTES
|
The principal river of Egypt is
the Nile. Its smaller tributaries
are the juveniles.
The capital of Ireland seems destined
to have the largest population of
any city in the world. It's D'ublin,
every year.
The United States are best for
married people.
Americans are noted for being
fond of jokes. Their country was
originally named for A-merry-cus.
(Vespucchi.)
When the flood subsided it is
probable that Noah and his family
landed in the vicinity of Little Rock,
for we are given to understand that
he came forth from the Ark-an'-saw
land.
Those who say that constancy is
not a feminine quality should note
how long Mrs. Sippi and Miss Souri
have been running together without
separating.

"A TAKE OFF"
|
Cling to your winter flannels Till well along toward June, For many a one is taken off By taking them off too soon. | Antiquity of Ready-to-Wear Clothing: Eve's dress was the first truly "out-of-sight" costume, "fig"-uratively speaking. Poultry Note: Roosters are rather hard to manage, but hens lay wherever they are put. |
