Proper Credit.

There was a simple old Irish gardener
who had laid out his masters garden
very beautifully. lie took that pride IN
it that all gardeners take in their work.
We all take more or less delight in our
work, and artists who paint pictures.
men who write books, machinists who
run engines and everybody who has con
genial work and cOngenial implements
gets ND a certain affection for them. But
did YOU ever see gardeners hang over
their flowers: Something of the love Of
mothers for children seems TO animate
them. They watch them grow from bud
to flowers with wonderful interest; they
take them up tenderly; they touch
them with care, and when they wither
they cut the withercd stem with a GER
tain pity which IS very crcditable TO hu-
man nature. This old Irishman was
showing a stranger over the grounds,
and with enthusiasm he explained LOW
he had done everything, what idea he
had in the designs OF the flower plots.
and he was taking great pride in it all.
The stranger would frequently point &c
some little bit of design and remark Oh
its beauty. The lriShman would say:
YES, sor. did that
The stranger pointed TO a spreading
tree that threw shadow over the center
of the grounds.
"What beautiful trce!'
"Indadc it is, sor. God Almighty did
that, or."-New Orleans Picayuno.

It was announced some time ago that owing to a large increase in practice in Bridgeport, pr Morrow and his associate physicians were obliged to secure larger and more commodious quarters for the reception and treatment of patients. The doctor has leased a large house at ll5 Fairfield avenue which he has elegantly fitted up and which he is now occupying. From what we have observed, and from what the doctor and his associates in practice have told us, we should conclude that the measures taken to promote the comfort and the more efficiently to treat the patients who daily present them selves at the doctors consulting rooms, IS being duly appreciated-that is if in crease in numbers who have called for advice and treatment since the removal Is any indication. We are informed that the doctor came to Bridgeport with the intention of establishing an institution here for the treatment not only of office cases or out patients, but chronic diseases that require nursing and professional ob- servation and treatment within the build ing as boarding patients, and that now the first steps have been taken the doctor is prepared to receive Il limited number of boarding patients. As minated, the doctor has associated with himself phys iclans who are expert in certain special ties of medicine, and who have been as signed to these departments. As in the famous institution at Brooklyn, conduct ed by Dr Spies and his associates, Dr Merrows institute treats all diseases in the various branches of specialties of medicine.

''Shelton is as busy place as you can flnd," said gentleman in conversation. "You hardly ever see groups of idle men on the street corners or lounging about, seeking work and finding none. Wilkin- sons paper mil is especially busy and, if the contract for manufacturing and print ing government postal cards is brought here, it will greatly increase. But it would not be advisable for the unem- ployed to rush to Shelton for work; they would not find it, for, while the shops employ all the artisans in the borough, they have neither room nor work for more.'
