A WIFE'S ANXIETY.
Once Professor Sylvester purchased a new pair of trousers and wore them to go to the University. His wife, who was well aware of his absentminded habits, knew nothing of the purchase. An hour or so after Professor Sylvester’s arrival at the University his wife was seen running breathlessly down the street with a package under her arm. Meeting one of the professors, she inquired hastily and anxiously : "Have you seen Professor Sylvester ?” "Yes,” answered the astonished colleague. "Well, is he all right—is everything all right ?” asked the anxious spouse. "My dear madam,” said the professor. "calm yourself ; your husband is perfectly well. I saw him but a moment ago.” "But I mean,” said the almost', frenzied woman, "did you notice anything peculiar about him ? Did he look as he ought to look ? Oh, did he—did he ” And just then the professor himself strolled round the corner with the new trousers on, to the intense relief of both his wife and the other professor.
