“John, what js a vacuum ?” inquired a woman of her husband. “A vacuum, my dear, is something that exists only in your mind!” was the ungallant reply. “I’m afraid,” said the clear girl, with a large, open-faced sigh,' “that George doesn’t love me as much as before we were engaged.” “Why do you think that?” queried her mother. “Because,” explained the dear girl, “he no longer comes back for'another kiss after saying ‘good-night for the last time.” Traveller: “Here, landlord, what’s the matter with your dog? I’vo driven him away a dozen times, but he always comes back again and sits close to my chair, watching every mouthful I take. Do turn him out, and let me have my dinner in peace.” Landlord: “Ah, sir, my Carlo i s such a knowing brute. I expect you have got the plate he generally eats off.’
