UNCONSIDERED TRIFLES.

A SMALL BOY’S POCKETS. According to a correspondent of an English newspaper, the following is a list of articles recently taken from a small boy’s pocket: There were 47 in all. One cigarette holder (looted from his father), two calendars, one programme of a revue, five letters, three diaries, one wallet, six pencils, one purse, two knives, one marble, one bundle of string, one Kodak film, one piece of carbon paper, one piece of elastic, one' crest, one screw, one cigarette card, and one stud. There were also two sea-shells, one padlock, one fountain pen clip, one penholder, three pieces of indiarubber, one copy of a Christmas carol, one comb in case, one pencil lead refill case, one chestnut, one hazel nut, one photographic negative, one photographic print, one adhesive label. Probably most parents could provide similar lists; bnt can any adult remember why he once burdened himself with a superfluity of unattractive objects?
