Boston Letter 70 the st. Louis Globe-Democra.
The publishers of the Youths Companion
are Perry Mason Il Co.. but not many people
outside OF newspaper circles are aware that
there is not nor ever has been such a person as
Perry Mason" and that the GO" is lust as
mythical The founder Of the paper had
name which for some reason he did not think
would catch the public. and SO he substituted the
purely imaginary firm name of Perry Mason
ard Co. fo- his own. For many years the
publisher and owner has been Daniel s. Ford
This man is the one who has made the paper
what 1t u. As its circulation and advertising
patronage increased to enormous proportions
lie kept on managing every detail of the bust
ness He did everything. and all his employees
were simply clerks. His choice was final as to
every article that went into the paper; he made
up its pages; every advertising contract had to
be brought to him; every item of expenditure
had 10 be personally authorized by him Al
though his assistants in every department we're
the most able that money could hire he
thought they didn't understand Just what to
do every time, and scarcely dared leave the
office for fear :nty might make some terrible
blunder Oi course there could be but one end
To all this; he approached a stage Of
a long seq voyage; the patient wouldn't
near TO it, but finally agreed to 90
out on IA yacht for three days in the least
busy part Of one week. He instructed his sub
ordinates carefully as to what should be done
in his absence and then. full of misgivings
went on board Of the yacht and was carried out
to sea- But all unknown to him the doctor had
pledged the captain of the yacht not to touch
land for three weeks. The captain was
hearty, jovial. good-natured character, with
whom Mr.. Ford was delighted from the very
first. 20 good a time did the tired publisher
have and so much was he carried away by the
novelty that he never said anything about being
put ashore when the three days were up. and
when. the next day so. his friend the captain
gently lntimnted he was pirate king and a bad
man and wasn't going to let his prisoner go for
three or four weeks Mr.. Ford fell into the
humor OF the situation. and then they cruised
along the New England shore for nearly a
month Occasionally they put in at some quiet
TO escape. When finally Mr. Ford returned to
the Companion Office and found that every
thing had gone like clockwork he was a
changed man. He appointed heads of depart
ments. delegated his responsibilities, took
things easy. bought yacht himself and began
20 enjoy life. He saws he owes a world of graf
itude to that doctor and his captain.

The Crows Judicial system.

From the Pttsbure Dispatch
But that feature of crow life that we might
call the Judiciary system has interested orni-
biologists more than anything else. There
seems to be no doubt that crows have Judicial
system for the trial and punishment Of cul-
prits. According to the accounts of reputable
observers the crow courts are conducted some
thing after this fashion: A solemn conclnve Of
old croakers is held on tree; a crest-fallen
prisoner Is among them. Three or four old
fellows, probably crow hwyers, will iabber
away for while and then there will be an ap-
parent consultation Of the whole flock sitting

Paris, like all other great cities, has
been much concerned with the question
how to dispose Of sewage. At present
most of the outflow of the collecteurt
pours into the Seine, TO its serious pol
luton. But some years ago the mu-
nicipality purchased several thousands
of acres of land In the plain of Genne-
villiers, few miles down the river,
and began the experiment of sewage
farm. The project has been an un,
qualified success.
An extension from the Pere-Lachaise-
st, Denis collecteur carries large guam
tity of sewage 10 the farm, where IL Is
used by irrigation as n fertilizer with
the best Of results in every way At
present one-fifth or more of the total
sewage efIiuent of Paris Is used on the
land at Gennevilllers, and In due time
the whole quantity can be diverted
from the river 10 this and other tracts
of land which have been selected as
suitable for the purpose. DR.. Albert

Learning 70 Bb8 Eoehetas
One of the graduates at West Point
says: II am now trying TO relearn the
use Of pockets. For five years have
been without that pleasant domestic
feature In my trousers, and l am glad
to find that they are still in vogue.
Very few people are familiar with the
binding nature Of the routine at the
government school. In my course
there have been away from the Point
once on two or three days leave. Yet
have not found the restraint irksome.
The work Is hard but pleasant, and one
must be hard TO please who cannot find
a congenial set of friends there.
Before taking my leave of absence,
granted for six weeks after graduation,
selected certain number of posts of
those submitted to me-three selections
were allowed ne-and ran my chances
ON getting the one Of Che three most
cared for. The government always
sends the new men west, but does not
su.nmarily dismiss them TO some wilder
ness without consulting their prefer
ences in the matter
For instance, out OF the available
posts submitted 10 me chose one on
the coast, one in Colorado and one in
Kansas. According to the vacancies
which may exist / am sent TO one Of
these three Naturally the posts with
the best reputation for life are pitched
on by the vast majority. There may
be but vacancy or two to fill. A mans
standing at the completion Of his course
has a great deal to do with his getting
the best. st. Louis Globe Democrat.
