Fragile Wedding Gift*.
"I hope," said the expectant bride,
"that my friends will remember my fond-
ness for fine cut glass and dower me plen-
tifully with it on my wodding day. I
think it is one of the few things in this
world that are perfectly beautiful. I never
tire of looking at it."
"Don't niako such an Injudicious wish
as that," said her wiser friend, who had
"been there" and knew. "You cannot
hope to escape the fato of all young mar-
ried peoplo in having careless and incom-
petent servants. And just fancy how you
would foel to have your wedding presents,
that you want to keep all your life as sou
venirs of that important event, gradually
cracked nnd chippod off the face of tho
earth. Don't say that you will take care
of them yourself. That is what all brides
say, only to find that the time things are
broken is in dusting and brushing quickly
by them, and not in the mere use, which
would scarcely injure them in a hundred
years. Take my advice and pray for more
substantial wedding drifts, even If they nre
not quite so daintily beautiful. "—Phila

HORRIBLY MANGLED.
Fred Linguist Instantly Killed at
Fort Worth.
"Jigger" Quite Respectable.
"Jigger" is not a modern term. It il
used by cabinet makers, potters, miners,
printers, for certain machines or instru-
ments usod by them. A "jigger sail" is a
small mast and sail placod in the stern of
a fishing boat. It is also the name of
small insect, common in the West Indies,
which lodges under the toe nail, causing
groat irritation and inflammation, and, if
not speedily extracted, mortification.
A person suffering from the irritation
caused by this insect would say, "I am
jiggered." This expression would easily
pass Into a metaphorical use.—Notes and
Queries.
