The Grateful Irishmau.

Once when Aternethy was visiting the
hospital wards poor Irishman jumped
out of bed and threw himself at Aber-
nethy's feet. Then be jumped up and
fourished a limb, crying: That's the
leg, yer Honnor . Glory be to God Yer
Honnor's the boy for doing it May the
heavens be your bed Long life to yer
Honnor u etc. This was man who had
been brought in with a diseased ankle, for
which amputation had been ordered But
Abernethy thought he could cure it, and
put the man under constitutional treat
ment The result was perfect cure, and
an ecstacy of thankfulness on the part of
roor Pat. The opp ,rtun''y YVES seized by
Abernethy for giving clinical lecture,
every point of which was illustrated by Pats
emphatic Thrue, yer Honnor; divvil a
lie in it" Every reference to the leg brought
out the member with a flourish from
under the bedclothes; and the whole
affair was most comical. But while every
body was laughing at the Irishman on his
knees before the great surgeon, Abernethy
was composed Bending down over the
man, he said with great earnestness II
am glad your leg is doing well, but never
kneel, except to your Maker As so often
happens Abernethy preached better than
he practiced; that is to say, he did not al
ways adopt the good advice he gave to his
patients Although so particular always
in his dietetic prescriptions for others, it is
suspected that he was rather an immoder-
ate eater himself. He was very careless,
too. in other respects, and would walk
down from his house to the hospital in
knee breeches and silk stockings through
pouring rain, without any effort to protect
himself. By the age of 60 he was very
lame. thin and old-looking and died few
years later literally worn out--4Htde Tear

An AFFEcTIoNATE MANA man who
rs an office on Broad strest, and whose
name is seen often in the newspapers, put
$500 on deposit with one Of his stock broker
friends month or two ago, and yesterday,
in answer TO a message from the brokers'
Office he called to get an accounting. Three
thousand dollars was to his credit as profits.
The Wall-street Office was filled with peo-
pie watching the tape when be called, but
he forgot all about that when he saw the
statement which showed his good luck. and
with never 50 much as q hint OF purpose he
threw his arms around the broker and
then and there most ardently kissed him.
He kissed him not once nor twice only, but
a full dozen times and possibly would
have kept up his solitaire game of oscula-
ton till day was done; but men down
town are rude, and roars of laughter
brought him to a stop. The broker-poor
man. he didn't look half as happy as lie
might have looked had somebody else done
the kissing.-Ne,e York Times.

UNITED STATES CENSUS IN 190O.-Francis
A. Walker, who had full charge of the
census of 1880, arrived with his wife from
Boston to-day, having just completed a
tour abroad. Mr. Walker resigned his
position in 1881 as Superintendent of the
Census Office, but, owing to the death of
his successor, Colonel Seaton, has several
times assisted in keeping the great work
from getting into tangle. To Post re-
porter he stated to-day that he estimated
that the population in the United States in
1900 would rot fall short Of 100000. In
reply to question as to whether it would
not be necessary at the next census to con-
dense the statistics in order that they might
be given to the public inside of twenty
years, he said that matter lay entirely with
Congress, which could order the census so
taken that it would fill five or twenty vol
umes. He says the present delay in issu-
ing the returns was caused by the death of
the head of the department, and that the
cost of collecting and compiling the census,
aside from the expense of publication, was
over 81 500, 000.-S. +. Past.

parrot, became alarmed at the din and
flew into the street. She lit in the midst
of lot OF household goods, where a lady
who had just been burned out was bemoan-
ing her loss and crying, " Oh, this is fear
ful; this is dreadful" etc. Lorette APP
peared to feel that way, too, but owing to
har somewhat limited vocabulary she was
not able to express herself with such vari-
ETY. of language. She perched herself on
the lady's shoulder and remarked in a
shrill voice. that was heard above the roar
of the flames and the cries of the firemen,
"Oh, oh, oh This is hell; yes, you bet
this is nearly hell" The lady immedi-
ately parted company with her profane but

WATERmELoss AND ONIoNs.-P L. Byers,
of Santa Paula, has sold $110 worth of
this season, and has plenty more left. One
vine of new variety produced by himself,
which he proposes to list on the scroll of
fame as Byers' Hybrid, contained but five
melons, but their aggregate weight when
ripsned will exceed $50 pounds. Three of
them have already passed through the
hands of the weigher, and registered re-
spectively 80, 70 and 81 pounds. A half
acre in onions will yield about $500 worth
of that vegetable, and from the five-acre lot
Mr.. Byers expects, and reasonably, to real
ize $50 an acre for this seasons work. This
is skillful farming, certainly. = Ventura

Different METHODS OF GROWING {

DIFFERENT METHODS OF GROWING OLD
A proverb in the Talmud says: AN old
woman is pearl in the family, but the
house trembleth before on old man" This
has meaning deeper than appears on the
surface. A weighty secret is wrapped up
in that proverb-the secret of eternal
youth. The old woman is pearl because
She is helpful, useful and agreeable. She
takes an interest in every ones welfare,
and lends friendly hand to the plans and
projects of all. She doesn't allow herself
to lose her hold on the affairs of life. She
is still an active factor in the household.
The old man takes precisely the opposite
trend. Not always, bat more often than
does the old woman. He grows selfish
and surly, thinks only Of bis own comfort,
growls when anyone makes noise and on
every possible occasion yerifes the proverb
by making the house tremble. The differ
ence is between their methods Of growing
old is directly due TO this: The woman
never gets Old in thought, and the man
docs Her activity OF mind keeps off the
foe-old age-whiie the old man actually
invites him to come on and take posses-
sion, and be accordingly comes e,f,7ide

A Point for Lovers.

A Kentucky Court has decided that q
girl. when she rejects q lover must return
all that he gave her during the time he
fordly imagined her heart was bis and that
he had firm grip on her future career. It
appears that a young man loved a maiden
fair in the Bluegrass State and dumped
his wealth at her feet in the shape of set
of earrings pair of bracelets and diamond
ring. For a time he was very solid with
her, ard at camp-meetings, picnics and
dancing parties she horned off other ad-
mirers by the very plain manner in which
she manifested her Preference for his COM
pany. At last however, he began to make
her feel weary, and she Tilted him so sud-
denly and in such an energetic way that it
was DAYS before his friends could convince
him that he had not fallen from the top OF
a house. When he came to his senses,
however, and the headache resulting from
a protracted and respondent drunk had dis
appeared, he demanded of his faithless love
to shell out the jewelry that ne had given
her. She refused, and ne brought suit
against her and won il.
The decision of the Court will be hailed
with delight by the young lovers of both
sexes. The young man feeling that in case
of q quarrel, or some other fellow stepping
in and monopoliZing matters, that he can
recover his presents, will be encouraged to
invest frequently in love tokens for his fair
inamorata, and she knowing that if she
does not gather in the little gewgaws while
the spooneY time is on that they will be
scarce after marriage, feels grateful for
judicial decision that inspires confidence
and has tendency to prompt her chosen
one to do the proper thing in the jewelry
line, and to do it often. Thus it viii be
seen that the decision cuts both ways and
gives satisfaction to all hands.
1t must not be imagined for moment,
however, that under the decision presents
in the shape of oyster Shippers and ice cream
can be recovered. They are irretrievable,
and once given can be set down as gone for
good Therefore young men in future will
squander their monthly stipends for some
thing substantial, something that the Sher-
if can reach with an attachment and the
donor hypothecate, and in this way the de-
cision viii operate no doubt injuriously to
the oyster and ice caeam business and also
psralyze the soda water industry.-Nels Or

VANDEvER's HIsToRY.-The life OF Gen
VIM. Vandeyer, Republican nominee for
Congress from the Sixth District, has been
an honorable and eventful one. He was
born in Baltimore in 1917, but was brought
up in Philadelphia. In 1889 he removed
to Rock Island, H., and in 1851 to Du-
buque Ia He was sent to Congress in
1855, and again in 1860. He entered the
war with the Ninth Iowa Infantry, and was
made gadier-General for meritorious
service at Pea Ridge in 1862. He was with
Grant and Sherman all through the Vicl1s-
burg campaign. In 1868 he was with
Banks in Texas for short time, and was
thence transferred to Nashville. Starting
with Sherman on the march to the sea, he
was sent north with Logan on special serv-
ice, and reioined the army at Savannah in
January, 1863 being assigned to COM
mand in the Fourteenth Army Corps, COM
mahding part of the time a corps and part
of division. His last action in the war
was at Bentonyille. n. G.. March 10. 1865
He was mustered out in October, 1865. He
passed through the war unhurt. though he

THEATRICAL PASSES.

The theatrical managers in Chicago
have abolished the free pass system for the
press, and they are right. But they might
have been less rude in making the an
nouncemcnt. There was no need to have
hlazoncd the fact in advertisements or on
posters. We therefore have a grain of
sympathy for the Chicago press, which is
demonstratively vexed over the matter.
But the pass system is bad, especially in
great city. 1t is bad because it is subject
to such abuse. and because it cripples news
papers very often. The manager who
giver free passes to papers feels as if he
had claim for special consideration,
wholly negleetful and forgetful of the fact
that he gets ten times value received in
the free publicity the paper gives his
house. This claim is constantly pressed
by managers, in one way or another, and
always to the embarrassment of the news
paper man. We do not for an instant take
any account of the silly theory that the
critic who goes to an entertainment on
pass is thereby incapacitated from honest
judgment. That is wholly untrue in fact,
as any conscientious writer knows. The
evil of the pass system lies chiefly in the
fact that it is an unequal bargain, that it
taxes. the paper doubly what it owes the
theater for all the news it gets out Of the
theatrical world, and in the fact that it is
so difficult to limit it to the person de-
puted to criticise. The pass system, there
fore, TO theaters, for the Office OF newSpa-
per is constant source OF annoyance. Il
might, we think, be properly limited to
the reporter appointed to gather theatrical
news. lie ought to have free access, be-
cause it is to the mutual benefit of pub
Usher and OF manager. In New York,
however, the pas, system is not
known even to this extent In Chi
cago, aS in San Francisco, the " dead head
system has been carried to d wild extreme,
and became an intolerable bore. The
managers resolved to abolish it, but they
did it like parcel Of bulls. If they had
simply informed the papers affected there
would have been no trouble On the con-
trary they paraded it on bill-boards as a
virtue, when in fact the managers. and
they alone, were, as they are everywhere,
responsible for the dead-heading7 They
originated the system and have kept it up.
The newspapers are not chargeable with
having fostered it. 1t is wholly unlikely
that the managers can name 4 solitary
reputable Journal in Chicago that ever
asked them to admit on its account all
hands and the cook, from the press-room
to the composing-room, and from the re-
portorial department to the friends Of the
sons and daughters of the publisher, Yet
to these extremes has the system grown.
