Sergeant Kirkh3m is feeling unusual

Sergeant Kirkham is feeling unusual
Iy sore over the way he has been
walked upon in the papers and out of
the papers. because of the light which
has been thrown upon ''Step-ladder
methods" in the recent Peet and Rees
cases. Kirkham declares that he has
been blamed for the work of others. He
comes out boldly and declares that he
has never done thing in connection
with police matters that has not been
ordered by the chief. He says that
whenever measures have been taken to
secure evidence against keepers of as
signation houses, or houses that were
used for immoral purposes, those meas
ures have been not only sanctioned, but
ordered, by Chief Brackett. In justice
let it be mentioned that Kirkham de-
MES that women of the town have been
In the employ of the police department
as "spotters;" but evidence, both in the
municipal and district courts, disputes
that. The facts then become simmered
down to this one, if Kirkham speaks the
Eruth-what have been spoken of as
"Kirkham methods" and ''stepladder
methods" have been, in reality, Brack-
EFT methods. If Chief Bracket
has been behind the employ
men of well-known women of
ill-fame, he should receive the blame
and not Kirkham. Moreover, to the
ordinary observer it looks very much as
if the chief has been suffering from a
limp spiral column when he has, if
Kirkham speaks truly, sat quietly in
his office and allowed his raid sergeant
to be the most roundly condemned man
that ever lived in the city, and wholly
because he obeyed the orders of his SUI
periOr officer.

Girls In tho schools.

"The girl would make better colleges" said one of the prominent educators of the city recently, If she had the same incentive, the same mo. tive. that the young man has. The young man who goes to the public schools and colleges feels that he is to be .a breadwinner. He has this for clear purpose in getting an education. But it is not so with the girl With her motive is everything and not having the motive she does not study to her full capacity. She looks to getting married some day, and having some one else provide the bread for her.
 ''Of course. this Is generally speak ing. We hear good deal about wo. mans power of application as com pared with mans, but my experience has been that if a girl knows what she is after, if she has distinct purpose. in nine cases out of ten she will display steadfastness of aim that is quite equal to that of any boy.
 Much has been said about the ca- pacity of the female intellect for mathematics, but l can say that the girl excels in pure mathematics Girls are exceedingly fond of history and lit- erature and invariably stand high in those studies,
 'fThe best students are Hebrews : that is they carry oil the honors. But this is not always a fair test of intel. lectual capacity The scholarship of s student is determined quite as much by her home influence, by her surround ings and associations, as by her text books or instructors. As a rule tho wealthy Hebrews avail themselves oI the advantages of the public schools and colleges for their children. while generally speaking, the children oI Christian parents in similar iinancia circumstances go to private iustitu tions. This makes 1t particularly diff ficult to institute race comparisons 1t the public schools.
 The colored girl has great imita tive powers. She does not eyincc OF. dinarily high degree of intellectual ity. but iu all subjects in which tho initiative faculty plays part in pro gress she usually does exceedingly we'll She is especially quick at drawing ans penmanship, and the like. But whet 1t comes to such subjects as require the higher faculties of reason or judgment she is frequently below the average,
 The artistie--that is, the naturally artistic student is the girl of Celti, race. But the girl of Anglo-Saxon de scent Is the one who generally display the best-deyeloped 'all-round' intellect N l. Times.

"Mc and Jim"

Half a dozen of Us stood at the door of the Erie passenger depot in Buffalo, when we saw tramp bearing down upon us. There was considerable comment on his looks, and some guessing as to what excuse ne would urge. and as he came up one of the boys said;

 ''Ahl recos nizcd him at glances added second, He is the man with the ossiiied liver

 The tramp looked from one to the other with very serious face, and when the laugh had died away he said;
 'Gentemen you are all off. If you have five minutes to spare please come with me
 We followed him through the depot and out into the yards. and there on a platform was something covered with tarpaulin. He raised this, and we saw the crushed and mangled remains of Il man.

A once pcspised Vegetable.

Some paper, speaking of the the to- mato crop. says that 72, o00. 600 cans were put up last year" aud refers to the old times when the tomato was called the love apple. and held about as fair a match for ground cherries" as food for man or beast. Mir. B. K. Snlgroye, the oldest newspaper man in the city, says he remembers seeing. when boy, tn 1885 or whereabouts, several stocks or bushes of love apples" growing on the north side of Market street, near Delaware, in the gaiden Of John Wilkins or Archie" Lingenfelter. They were not called tomatoes" and nobody thought of eat ing them more than 'jimson burs." They were not commonly grown, even for garden ornament. and 1t was half score of years later before they came into even occasional table use. BM he remembers that some of the doctors of that day commended them as health ful thing to eat and the new name tomato" became familiar. Fifty years or more ago this was the fame and food value of the tomato. now more often and generally used. and in moro forms than any other garden product whatever. --I Indianapolis Nsics.

EFris CANNING.

The history of Miss Fife Canning. who wrote 'Rock-a Bye, Baby" which has had such a phenomenal sale during the past three years, is an interesting ono. Although Miss Canning has been known to public favor for that time she Is still . youthful schoolgirl yet in her teens. Unlike many less fortunate mus ical authors. Miss Canning is not depen- dent upon the income derived from her songs. she being the daughter of . we'll known Boston physician in affluent cir cumstanccs, Rock Bye. Baby" which was her frs, success, was written ahou, three years ago and was first brought prominently to public stten- ton by beng sung in Denmsn Thomp- sons play of 'The Old Homestead.
 It was written by her on car while on her way 10 her music teachers It immediately became popular. She has since written Tapping on the Panes."

The Women of New York.

Tho New York woman is, | think, tritie stonter and degree more gross of figure than the average Baltimore woman. She has. too. d ruddier complexion, owing. l am told to the prevalence of the lad for gym nastics and a love of wines and beer. Her cheeks are usually rosy. her figure round, and her feet large and unshaue- ly. Aud. besides that, tue New York woman has weakness for paint aud powder that is seldom met with else. where. She dresses. too in loud colors, and if you concluded that the half of these gaily-drcssed women of the streets of New York were actresses you woulsl be greatly in error.

WHEN IS A MAN DRUNK?
Tests That Are Applied In En gland
 with indifferent Results.

Drunk or not drunkp That was the question which presented itself for settlement the other day at Ripon. On behalf of the luckless man who was ae- cused ol having imbioed loo freely says the Newcastle, England, ChronI- cle. 1t was submitted that he was only fresh The legal gentleman whose maintained that . person who could walk, as his client had been able to do. was not drunk within the meaning of tho act. and he reminded the bench that 1t had been written that
 lie is not drunk who from the floor
 Can rise again and still drink more.
 But drunk IS he who helpless lies
 Nithout tho power to drink UT rise
 This poetieal plea. however. ingeni- ous as it unqnestionably wns, was not regarded sufficiently sound to hold water. and so the customary fine was imposed. It has lately become GUS ,omary to apply tests in such cases, but this does not appear 10 have been done in the present instance. When the licensing act oi 1872 came into operation publican in this noighbor- hood resorted to the happy expedient Of fixing tho limits of supply by tho ability of his customer to utter, with ont stumbling, the word 'truly rural. and some time ago it fared badly with poor fellow in London who was so far gone as to be unable to spell .'con- stitutional or .sstatistical.
