A manufacturer of glass eyes says that his products are now so skilfully made as to defy detection. Even the wearers of the glass eyes can't see through the deception. Young Bride (breaking in at housekeeping): "What miserable little eggs again! I really must tell the grocer to let the hens ait on "them a little longer." Little Daughter: "Mamma, can folks be put in prison for cheating a baby?" Mamma: •'Why do you ask such a question?" Little Daughter: "I saw Mrs Nextdoor filling her baby's bottle, an' she put some water in tioe milk." A Persian philosopher being asked by what method he had acquired so much knowledge, answered:—"By not being prevented by shame from askinc questions when I am ignorant."
