The Country Parsons Advice.

1t is told of a good, old-fashioned
parson in one of the Hill towns In
Western Massachusetts, that he recent
ly gave the following advice to his
son, who was about to come to New
York to begin business career: my
son, of course it is always wicked to
fight, and as Christian minister |
must warn you against it. But, at the
same time, if you should ever find
yourself in fight, with no way out
always see that theright man is whip
ped.n "But, father replied the lad,
show shall | know who is the right
manw "The other man, of course
said the old gentleman. "In almost
every crisis of life something must be
taken for granted, and in fight you
must always assume that the other
fellow deserves to be thrashed." This
advice, similar in spirit to that given
by Shakespeare, indicates that there
may be good deal of unregenerate
human nature even in quiet country

Census Troubles.

HALEY Times: Major Pinkham,
Census Supervisor of Idaho, left to
day for the Coeur d'Alene regon,
where he is having a great deal of
trouble with census enumerators.
One of the appointees qualified, refus-
ed to serve, but failed to notify the
supervisor; and two Others refused to
serve on flimsy excuses. The two
latter are "in hock," and Major says
that he will have one more in the
same predicament in few days. 1t
looks to him as if there was an at
tempt to defeat the census altogether,
up there.

From the New York Star.


In seeing friend off, the other day,
whose vessel was moored at a pier on
the East River, had occasion to pass
through the lower part of James Street,
and was amazed that the former Amer
lean and Irish population was being
forced out by Japanese, Siclllans, and
other odd races. Two places struck me
as being very interesting. One was
Japanese boarding place, where there
seemed to be twenty members Of that
race. One-half of them seemed to be
married, the wives belonging to all
kinds OF people, from oblique-eyed and
black-halred Japs to golden-haired and
blue-eyed German women. They were
all quiet and orderly, and seemed
to be well liked by their
neighbors. The other place was
Sicilian restaurant and board
1ng-house in the same block.
Though Of the poorest and homeliest
kind. it was scrupulously neat and clean.
The proprietor, who was cook, waiter
and cashier in one, went about the
place in his shirt sleeves, with the
bosom thrown back. showinga gorgeous
undershirt beneath. Around his waist
he wore d brilliant sash of some sort of
silk. A baby sprawled in a soap box,
half filled with rags and shavings, which
small boy dragged slowly with a piece
of string from one end of the room to
the other. A few customers sat around
the place drinking coffee at two cents a
cup and eating maccaroni at seven cents
plate. From the ceiling hung dried
strings of scarlet peppers, white garlic,
and smoke-darke Bologna sausages.
1t was altogether a very fair copy of
such establishments in Palermo and Ma

New Clothes in Six Hours.

From the New York Journal.
edo you know how quickly man can
get an outfit in New York;" said q man
about town yesterday. Il mean his
outside apparel-thatis, a suit Of clothes,
q hat and pair OF shoes. Within Six
hours q man can order these things.
have them made and have them on"
1t was rather remarkable statement,
vet 1t is borne out by fact.
A man can order a complete suit of
clothes and in five hours they will be
finished. The cutting requires some
thing less than an hour. An expert
trousers maker turns out a pair of pant
aloons in one hour and thirty minutes.
vest can be made in about the same
time. The coat is the most difficult
part of the suit to make. and it requires
three men about four hours to complete
it.
AS rule, in this lightning manufact-
ure OF clothing, two men or more work
upon the same garment. Of course,
the Innings, straps, ETC., are all prepared,
and there are a dozen little tricks to
save time. For instance, the buttons OF
the trousers are pasted instead of
sewed. There are at least dozen tailors
in New York, who will make a suit of
clothes and deliver it within six hours
after it is ordered.
Any hat manufacturer will turn out a
bat in any kind of material, and in any
shape under the sun, in less than two
hours. The mate rial is all ready, and it
doesn't matter neither it is Southern
wide-awake. Western sombrero or
the latest silk tile, he can have it ready
in less than two hours.
There was time when it took shoe
maker at least day to make a pair of
shoes, but that was long ago. There
are half dozen places in New York
where they make pair Of shoes "while
you watt" and they are very good
shoes, too; pair Of macbine-seWed
shoes in two hours.
There is one of those lightning cob
blers IN New York who has turned out
a pair in l hour and 80 minutes, and
that is the best record on Manhattan
Island. If pair of handsewed shoes
are demanded it requires two and half
hours.
II man is particular and he wants a
shirt made to order, almost any active
worker will give him one in an hour,
made just as he wants it.
So it will be seen that if man starts
in at one end Of Broadway, and goes
from one establishm 5nt to another or
dering the different articles, by the
time he has finished ordering he can
start in at the first place he visited and
get the article.

"Gentlemen, you will please keep
your seats. The Senator from Kentucky
is talking, and you must hear him."
Every man resumed his seat instant
ly. Among the number was an old
Jersevman. who was wedged in front
seat between two negroes. Garrett
Davis talked for three hours. The
Jerseyman drew many long breath,
but never swerved. When the speech
was ended he walked up to Col. Win
tersm ith and with some emotion said:
"Did | understand you that it was the
senator from Kentucky who was adj
dressing us?"
Eyes, SIR" responded the Kentucky
Colonel; che was Senator Davis from
Kentucky. Have you any fault to find
with his speechW
'Nn-no," the Jerseyman stammered,

A Diamond Dagger.

From a New York Letter.
There are two tiers of boxes in the
Metropolitan Opera House in which the
ladies wear full dress. The lower tier
projects further into the body of the
house than the upper, 80 that any OBJ
ject falling from the latter might readily
strike person sitting in the former.
One night much-bejeweled woman in
one OF the boxes in the second tier
CHANGED to lean over the rail to gaze at
the orchestra stalls. The move
ment shook a piece of dia-
mond jewelry from her hair,
and it fell swiftly down into the box be-
meath. Under some circumstances the
ornament would have been lost, but it
SO happened that it found sweet and
safe resting place. A fresh, big-eyed
beauty in the lower box suddenly start
led her friends by clutching her pretty
neck and exclaiming: 80 [ think I'm
stabbed ~
Everybody bent solicitiously toward
her, demanding what was the matter.
She tapped her chest and gasped: II
felt a sharp weapon strike nue. here"
Her mother looked keeniv at the
girls throat, bnt there was no sign Of q
wound. Of this she strove to assure her
child.
1T is lower down. whispered the
young woman.
At that moment gentleman entered
by the door at the back of the box.
Pardon my intrusion" he said, ''but
my wife IN the box above dropped
jewel from her hair moment ago, and
she said it fell in here. Have you seen
anything of it ?"
The lovely girl who thought herself
stabbed sat upright in her chair and
looked trifie frightened. Then she
dashed into the back room, from which.
she presently returned, her face
wreathed in timid smiles
Here is the jewell" she said, holding
forth handsome diamond dagger.

father of a large family. The murderer
himself was an unmarried man. The
presiding judge, having read the indict-
ment, told the prisoner to stand up, and
said to him:
"Bill Jones, you have not acted right
in this matter. You have deprived q
good woman of her husband, and made
orphans of her children. 1T [ turn you
loose will you marry the widow and
support the family of the deceased ?'
The prisoner said that he was more
than willing to do so. In fact, he had
shot her husband in order that he
could do that very thing.
The widow bad no objection, except
that she wanted little more time to fix
up for the occasion. She, however, an
nounced that she was ready, and the
Judge pronounced the happy couple

Cigars This Year.
From the New York Sun.


Thomas G. Delano, an authority on
cigars and tobacco, although not directly
interested in the trade financially, has
just returned from Key West and Cuba.
He says that the output from Key West
of cigars this year will be 90,0O0,OOO.
Some years ago, he says, Connecticut
seed leaf was regarded by domestic
manufacturers, and even by some in
Key West, as standing next to Havana
leaf for cigar wrappers. 1t brought a
high price But the Connecticut tobacco
farmers have killed their tobacco goose
IN queer way. They used for some years
certain kinds of manures which gave
the tobacco luxuriant growth, but de-
veloped certain weaknesses in the to-
bacco which manufacturers now say
make it improbable for wrapper.
For that reason manufacturers import
their wrappers from Sumatra. The
Connecticut tobacco has deprecated at
least so per cent. through an unskillful
use of manureS
