A STUDY IN HEREDITY.
Effie's Mother : ‘ I am surprised, Effie—surprised and ashamed—to see a big girl like you crying over a broken doll. Why, you are nothing but a grea calf.’ Precocious Damsel of Ten : ‘ Mother, ear, recall—recall that epithet I Think—think of that little word of three letters which is the only one I can use in describing a calf’s mother !’
Boy : * Please give me twopennyworth of castor oil, and give me short measure, too.’ Chemist: • Short measure ? Why?’ Boy : • ’Cos I’ve got to take it myself.'
