The Wrong Number.

"Docther, the head nurse wants you
to come down to supper" said the new
Irish servant girl to the physician in
charge of the female wards in well
known New York CHART lble institu-
ton. The doctor did not care what
the head nurse desired in such matter
and sent the messenger OIL. Half an
hour later the head nurse, with very
serious face, appeared and said 'Doc-
tor, No. s is very bad indeed | think
you ought to see her at once" ''Why
did you not let me know before ~ was
the reply. "Why, DOCTOR said the
nurse, 81 sent you word by Mary half
an hour ago" "The fool" said the
doctor, "she told me to come down to
supper" "Why," said the nurse, ~
sent you word to come down to eight"
An inquiry made the whole thing clear;
Mary thought it more polite to say
"COme down to supper than to say
"Come down to ate.n

A Bad Sign.

A party from st. George came into
town Yesterday, and purchased, among
other things, II brand new hoe. Feel
ing the need of a shave, he then walked
down Church street till he came to a
convenient barber shop, which he en-
tered, leaving his hoe standing in the
doorway.
While the tonsorial artist was using
up razor after razor on the tough stub
bic OF the st. George mans chin, a
couple of well-dressed drummers came
up the street. Lets go in and get
shave" said one of them as they ap-
preached the variegated pole.
'NOt much y replied his companion
edging off. "You don't catch me going
into barber shop where they hang
out hoe for a sign I" Il Free Press

The Fancy stock Craze.

The present wild craze for imported
farm stock, particularly such as are
labeled thorough bred Jerseys, remarks
conservative correspondent, bodies
no good to agriculture, or the men who
are honestly engaged in its practice
The bubble will surely burst, and
somebody may find it hollow. A COW
story like fish story should be taken
with some allowance for the self-inter-
est or fervid imagination of the mar
rator. AS Il rule the value of an ami
NAL depends upon weight aid capacity.
Pedlgrees are very much like moon
shine, a substance too volatile to be
handled except by spectators. There
is an inside picture to the great combi-
nation auction sales of imported and
domestic stock in cities, that the buy
ers are not fully admitted to. There
is usually partition between the
smoky kitchen and the elegant dining
room, and the cook often understands
the quality of the vIands better even
than the waiter or the epicure. This
Is doubtless true in regard to some
of the city sale and training stables.
Country animals are sent there to be
washed, shampOoed, cOmbed, groOmed
and pumped by skilful hands, days
and weeks before the sale, and then
under the glare of an electric light in
the excitement of Il crowd, the willy
auctioneer caps the climax with figures
of speech that entrap the unwary
This is gambling in stocks that is
literal, as some have found to their
sorrow. The wonder is that some of
the agricultural papers, that are usual
ly sensible, should sell themselves so
cheaply in abetting the swindle. That
there is a difference in the quality of
cows and that some have remarkable
records is admitted, but there is doubt
less limit even to the unknown.
When we read that ''Mary Ann of St.
Lambert" Canadian Jersey, has yield
ed S35 pounds and 81 ounces of butter
in 80 days, and y pounds and 81
ounces of butter in seven days, and it
is attested only by the man who ad
vertises | of her descendants to be
sold at a New York auction, and also
see that the record of yield varies
slightly, as twice published in the same
paper, excuse us from believing it. The
man that can tell the biggest story has
the best chance.

Perhaps the most unpopular boy now
is Jimmy Iuffboy. He was reckoned
about the sharpest player of marbles
anywhere around, and good little boys
whose papas and mammas wouldn't al
low them to play "for keeps" have
been lending Jimmy all the marbles
they had that he might win them great
profits. But Jimmy went into the
street and played with lot of sharp
gamins who were brought up to the
business aud had their eye teeth cut
before they wore their first pair OF
trousers, and those bad boys "shuckedr
him. The good little boys who started
Jimmy in the business lost all tho mar
hles they had and Jimmy is very sorry.

zen. Sherman was q graduate of
west Point, and while still a young
man had served with marked credit
for some IL years in the army. But he
had more than a military education.
through checkered career in civil
life he had enlarged his knowledge of
the country, his acquaintance with
men, his experience in affairs. He
he had been banker in California,
lawyer i'll Kansas, president of col
lege in Louisiana, and. when the war
began, he was about to take charge of
a railroad in Missouri. 1t would be
difficult, if not impossible, to find
man who has so thorough, so minute n
knowledge of every state and territory
OF the Union. He has made special
study of the geography and products
of the country. Some one has said of
him that if we should suddenly lose
all the maps of the United States, we
need not wait for fresh surveys to make
new ones, because Gen. Sherman could
reproduce a perfect map in "a hours.
That this is pardOnable exaggeration
would be admitted by any one who had
cOnversed with Gen. Sherman in re-
gard to the topography and resources
of the country from Maine TO Arizona.
Gen. Sherman's appearance is strong
ly indicative of his descent. Born in
the west, he is altogether of Puritan
stock, his father and mother having
emigrated from Connecticut, where his
family resided for nearly two centuries.
All the characteristics of that remarka
BILE class of men re-appear in Gen.
Sherman. In grim, determined visage,
in commanding courage, i'll mental
grasp, in sternnesS of principle, he is
an ironside officer of the army of Crom
we'll, modified by the impulsive mer-
curial temperament which eight gen
erations of American, descent, with
western birth and rearing, have i'm
pressed upon his character.

SUGGESTIVE. - A suggestive pam
phlet has been recently issuedi ientitled,
deterioration of the Puritan stock
and its causes" The writer is DIR.
John Ellis. From official statistics of
the state of Massachusetts for the six
years from '76 10 81, it appears that
during that period the deaths exceeded
the birth among native American in
that state by 27,796. This indicates "a
marked decline in the vitality of
once hardy and vigorous race. The
causes assigned by DIR. Ellis for this
deterioration in the Puritan stock are
tight dressing, luxury, indispOsition to
assume family cares, and impatience of
the domestic life among the women,
and among the men-intemperance.

WHOLLY UNNECEssARY.-The editor
of the Boston Journal of Chemistry, J.
r. Nichols, NJ. D., an eminent scientific
authority, takes the advanced position
that alcoholic liquors are no longer
necessary in medicine or the arts. He
says that ''if the natural vinous fer
mentative process should cease, and the
art of distillation become lost art, not
life would be sacrificed in cOnse-
quence, not a case of disease would be
retarded in the process of cure, not Il
pain would he aggravated, and not one
of the art processes suffer detriment.
