MISCELLANEOUS.

A man' on a holiday trip arrived at a northern seaside, resort, and went to an hotel. Shortly after a friend called, and was Shown .up to his room. He found the traveller sitting in a chair, surveying with gloomy countenance a trunk which stood against the wall. "What is the matter?" asked the caller. "I want to get a suit of clothes out of that trunk/' was the answer. "Well, what's the difficulty—lost the key?" "No, I have the- key all right," said the other, heaving a sigh. • "I'll tell you how it is. My wife packed that trunk. SJie expected to come with me, but was prevented at the last moment. To my certain knowledge, she put in enough to fill three- trunks the way a man woiild pack them. If I open it, the things will boil up all over the room, and I could never get half of them , back. Now, what I'm wondering about is whether it would be cheaper to go out and buy a new suit of clothes or two additional trunks."
