SWALLOWING GRAPE SEEDS,

One Should Only See a Few Post Mortems to
be Convinced of Their Danger.
New York Star.1
The predominant fruit at this season is the
California grape, innunerable varieties of
which load up every corner stand or vender's
truck. 1t seems unnecessary to remind any
one that the seeds of the California fruit are
extremely large, and therefore inconvenient
to swallow. But great many people forget
or do not recognize that the seed of the
grape, if it gets into the interior anatomy of
human being, is not at all unlikely to
create a great deal Of trouble.
was reminded of this the other day by a
very prominent New York physician, whom
met lunching in an uptown restaurant.
He was finishing off with plate of grapes,
and noticed that he carefully avoided
swallowing the seeds thereof. 1 made some
casual allusion to the fact, and the doctor
replied very seriously: eft you had per-
formed as many post mortems as I have on
people who had merely swallowed q grape
seed or so you would be mighty careful when
you were eating grapes, too"

San Francisco Census.

SAN Francisco, June 23.--Complete re-
turns from thirty.fve census districts OF
this city have been sent by Supervisor
Davis to the head office at Washington.
1t is anticipated that the population of
this city will fall below the curren estima-
ton in consequence of the absence OF
large numbers of people at present at
the summer resorts. The officials are
concerned over the result, and consulta-
tion regarding the best measures to be
taken will be held between Mr.. Davis,
Mayor Pond. DR.. Mcdonald and the rail
road officials, who will be asked to use
their endeavors In procuring the neces-
sary information. Tie canvass in the
Italian district has disclosed much illit-
eracy and squalor, and al almost invaria-
BILE disinclination OF the residents to give
the required statistics. An Italian vege-
table vendor named Angelo Cherogina,
who lives in the Visitation allev, has
been arrested and committed to the coun-
ty Jail to await examination for refusal
to answer the inquiry. His arrest it is
hoped will have good effect upon his
large number of neighbors who also re-
fuse to be interrogated. An interesting
Italian family of nine members has been
discovered, the father being "a years of
age and the mother 23, and the seven
children ranging i'll age from few months
to 10 years.

Merchants and others are hereby re-

come to the New MEXICAN office. There
in no better excuse for sending out of
town for printing than there is for sending
away for groceries or clothing. Our mer-
chants should consider these things. The
New MEXICAN is acknowledged the lead
ing paper of this section. The patronage
of the people will enable us to keep it 80.
