Professions and the Presidency.

from the Milwaukee Sentinel
The confident prediction Ut so old
ard intelligent u statesman as hon.
Alex. H. Stephens that the next Pres
ident of the United States Will be a
journalist, suggests an inquiry as 10
how the different professions have
Jared in the pas. distribution OF that
honor. A hasty review OF the list VIII
be found to result as follows:
Washington was soldier.
Adams was lawyer.
Jefferson was q lawyer.
Madison was a statesman.
Monroe was lawyer. e.
John Quincy Adams was a lawyer.
jackson was soldier.
Van Buren, was lawyer.
Harrison was soldier.
Tyler was lawyer.
Polk was a lawyer.
Taylor was lawyer.
Fillmore was lawyer.
Pierce was lawyer.
Buchanan was lawyer.
Lincoln was lawyer.
Johnson was lawyer.
Grant was o soldier.
1t is true that Jackson was a lawyer
az we'll as a soldier-a judge as well
as a general-but as it was his career as
a fighter that made him President, he
is credited to that profession. 80
Pierce was Brigadier General in the
Mexican war; but he didn't distinguish
himself peculiarly as warrior, SO we
apply to him the correlative of the
proposition that we applied to his
great Democratic predecessor. 1t
should be explained with respect to
Madison, that he studied law, but
seems to have been drawn into public
life too soon to make any progress IN
the practice.

The an@sthetic effects of alcohol are
sometimes manifested in a surprising
manner. An old case is that of u
drunken man who lay down near the
top of lime kiln, with one foot rest
ing on lump of lime stone. The fire
crept through the furnace until his foot
became blackened cinder. but his
sleep was not interrupted, and the
FIRST intimation he received was when
he awoke at daylight and attempted to
stand. Lately similar circumstance
has been reported from England. A
drunken man laid down before fire
and remained there until the front part
of his body was literally roasted. He
died in few hours after being found.

DUDLECRUMP md THE LION.

Mr.. Dudlecrump and his four sons
were hunting at the mouth of Little river,
in Cooke county, Texas, when large
Mexican lion jumped upon the old man
and Knocked him down. The older son
told the boys not to shoot, as they would
kill their father. The old man had the
couger by the throat with his right hand,
and one of the front legs with his left.
One of the party struck the couger with
his gun, but missed his aim and struch
his father across the back, then seized
the couger by the leg, while John Du,le-
crump placed his gun against the animal
and fired, breaking its back, causing it
to loose it's hold on the son. The two
boys that had hold of the beast retreated
few steps, and the father discharged
both barrels of his gun, killing the

Il YLCCKY ROY.

A farmers boy was crossing field
where very wild and ferocious bull was
allowed to roain at large. When the boy
had about reached the middle of the
field, he suddenly saw the bull, with
head lowered, rushing furiously at him.
Being accustomed to managing cattle, he
was in no way disconnected, and ran to a
tree near by and commenced running
around it, with the bull after him; pres
emily he caught the bull by the tail, and
commenced belaboring him numerically
with a stick. The bull, finding that
"tail" was turned, started off at run,
the boy swinging to him, but the faster
he ran the more the boy belabored him,
until finally he commenced believing
"O," says the boy, increasing his blows,

A REMINDER.

When the Duke de Persigny was
French Minister of the Interior, he re-
ceived visit one day from friend,
who, on sending up his name, was shown
into the great mans sanctum. A warm
discussion arose between them. Sud
denly an usher entered, and handed the
Duke a note. On opening it, he at once
changed his tone of voice, and assumed
quiet and urbane manner. Puzzled as
to the contents of the note, and by the
marked effect it had suddenly produced
upon the Minister, his friend cast fur
tive glance at it, when to his astonish-
ment he perceived that it was simply a
plain sheet of paper, without a scratch
upon it.
More puzzled than ever, the gentle
man, after few minutes, took his leave,
and proceeded to interrogate the usher,
to whom he was well known, for he him
self had been Minister of the Interior.
"You have" said he, "just handed
the Duke note, folded up, which had
most extraordinary effect upon him.
Now, it WAS plain sheet of paper, with
nothing written upon it. What did it
meant"
"Sir," replied the usher, "here is the
explanation, which 1 must beg you to
keep secret, for 1 do not wish to COM
promise myself. The Duke is very
warm, and very liable to loose bis tenn
per. AS he himself is aware of his weak
ness, he has ordered me, each time that
his voice is raised sufficiently to be audi
BILE in the anteroom, without delay to
place sheet of paper in an envelope,
and take it to him. That reminds him
that his temper is getting the better of
him, and he at once calms himself. Just
now heard his voice rising, and imme
diately carried out my instructions.

ONE of the curious institutions of
London is hospital for sick animals.
1t was established by gentleman who
died twenty years ago, leaving 800, 900
to the officers of the University of Lon
don, to be used for investigating and
curing the maladies of useful birds and
quadrupeds. About 7,GO) horses and
donkeys are now treated annually at the
hospital, which is the result of this be-
quest. About 800 dogs were admitted
last year, and this appears to be very
creditable showing in respect to the
health of the average canine of the
metropolis.

CONGRESSIONAL FUNERALs

In one of his letters to the Boston
Journal, Perley" writes:
"Thanks to Judge Poland, chairman
of the committee of arrangements at the
funeral of Mr.. Samuel Hooper, there
was no display of the funeral regalia
which has been hitherto invariably worn
at the obsequies of Congressman. For
the first time at funeral held at the
Capitol, neither the members of the
committee of arrangements, the pail
bearers, the chaplain, the physician, nor
the mourners wore scarfs of white or
black silk, with rosettes on the shoulders.
No bands of white or black muslin
fioated from the hats of the hearse and
hack drivers. Neither was there a gen
eral distribution among the Congress
men of black gloves, accompanied by an
intimation that they could be exchanged
for fancy kids at the store where they
had been purchased. These tradition
airy funeral adornments wers all dis
pensed with by the direction of Judge
Poland, who knew the transformations
tastes of the deceased, and who felt that
he was doing what would have been ac-
ceptable to his departed friend had he
been consulted in life. In ante-war days
the expense of these funeral trappings
and adornments, with the usual con-
tingencies, often exceeded $4,000, and
on one occasion the funeral expenses of
a deceased Senator amounted to 50, 760.
AT the commencement of the pres
ent century there was another class of
funeral expenditures unknown in this
degenerate age, for supplies of creature
comfort to the mourning colleagues of
the deceased. Among the items of the
accounts presented for the funeral ex-
penses of the Hon. Francis Malbone, a
Senator from Rhode Island, who died in
June, 1909, and whose remains were in
tered in the Congressional burying
ground, are the following
16 pounds crackers. Observation-Disclosures. ... $500
11A pounds cheese at IS cents. ............ $50
"The committee, to audit the con-
tingent expenses of the Senate directed
that payment be made for the crackers,
but rejected the claim for the cheese.
The next voucher presented to them for
their approval read thus:
gallons best Madeira wine sos 90
4 gallons Cognac brandy ----.------...--. 500
IL pounds almonds, ut 10 cents. ....-....... 40
10 pounds raisins, at so cents 500
"Of this account the committee would
only allow for four gallons wine and
three quarts brandy, &c., but they
passed another voucher for fourteen
pounds of pound cake, ST. purchased
from Monsieur Julien, confectioner,
who also supplied twelve pounds
crackers at 81 3d."
