The old inhabitants of a certain New
England town remembera a peddler who
used TO come around a good many
years ago. and who had a cry quite as
remarkable as most of those given in
the books which have been written
about the street cries of old London.
He had a long, covered wagon.
drawn by a large. gray horse Of uncer-
tain age. and he held up in front Of
each house in the town once a fort
night.
He never disnOuuted from his seat
unless assured that he had a customer.
but he gave his cry three times in a
clear, loud voice, and then, if he re
ceived no response, drove on to the
next house. and this was his cry:

Those who travei much have often
asked themselves if it is not possible to
have the railroad cars kept cleaner and
the air in them purer Very often,
however, the passengers themselves are
to blame for the state of things that
exists. DR.. Conn, in a paper before a
meeting of railroad surgeons, puts it in
this way He says: MANY good peo-
pie permit their children and even al
low themselves to throw upon the floor
of the car nutshells, banana and orange
peel. and remnants of lunches In
warm weather these refuse matters will
In a short period render the atmosphere
of a coach almost unbearable to q SEN
sitive person. and the effect upon the
nervous system is very depressing"
DR.. Conn urges very properly that
the hygienic condition of railroad cars
should be a more important part Of
railroad management 1t is the duty
of trainmen to examine the wheels of
carriages at frequent intervals Why
not also the air and sanitary state of

A QUEER PRESENT.

What Minister'S wlfo Received as Re-
ward for Many Kindnesses.
Here is story from western Pennsyl-
vania which matches any told by Miss
Wilkins and other delineators of New
England thrift and unconscious humor,
says the New York Times. A young
woman, whose maiden home was in
one of the small cities Of interior New
York, followed the fortunes of her hus-
band, Calvlnistic minister, to his first
charge, "Center" church near the
Ohio line of the Keystone state. The
young wife soon discovered that she
had married the congregation, and, as
It YVES o widely scattered one, her time
was fully occupied. The most persist
ent claimant of her attention and off,
ces was an old dame to whose an
nounced deathbed she was summoned

so called dying woman revived, how

developed with great regularity fire.

ton. At every fresh recurrence of this
condition the pastors wife was immedi-
ately sent for and always promptly re-
sponded, which, as the house was three
miles away, often meant night in at
tendance.
Finally the old lady did die and was
duly and properly buried. The follow
ing week her married daughter called
at the parsonage, asking for its mis-
tress. After some desultory talk upon
the virtues Of the departed the visitor
produced small parcel carefully
wrapped. "Ma," she began, using the
long, fat ''a" Of the neighborhood,

said she wanted you to have something
of hers to keep. So she wanted me to

An As.ortment of Races.

A short time ago an anthropologist Of
New York city got a group of men Of
many races in his house for a purpose.
In the group there were q North Ameri-
can Indian, Chinaman, q negro. q
Hawaiian, Hebrew. an Arab. an East
Indian and Europeans Of the Gothic,
Celtic, Slavic and Latin races. All Of
them were found in the city Of New
York, and all were able to use the
English language well or otherwise.
The anthropologist who brought them
together desired to get their notions
upon certain questions of race,
linguistics and religion. but he had
great difficulty in getting them. He
proposes to hold other conferences of
the same kind, and to prosecute his In
vestigations until his object has been
attained. "All races of men are of one
blood" according TO the Scriptures.
