a Claim Made In Behalf OF Glasgow and so,ae
Facts Concerning 10.

One does not naturally look TO Scotland as q
source OF supply OF jokes and pleasantriea. but
there has recently appeared land II is now going
the rounds Of the pressl what may perhaps be
described as Il Scotch Joke. 1t is as follows:
"Greater Glasgow is often held up as a model
municipality. There is something In the claim.
With q population OF $4,000. it has only +04
Doctors" Scotch physicians hold a high rank
In their profession; perhaps the fact should be
considered as part OF the Joke that with a pop
uiation OF $4,000 Glasgow has only 494 doctors.
There are in the United States more than
100. 900 doctors. and II hSs not been observed
localities in which the number of ply sicians is
small than in those in which; as In New York
and in most important Northern cities. II is

figures show. whatever may be the case in
proportion TO the total number OF inhabitants.

United Kingdom. the number OF physicians and
habitants to $50 in Ireland and $50 in Eng.
land. Indeed. there are more physicians In
than in any other country Of Europe. In Italy
and Russia there are fewer than 300 doctors for
spain. Holland. and Belgium. there are from
500 TO 400. Ii is lever possible to compute with
entire accuracy, however; me number Of physi-
countries, surgeons are includcd: In other coun-
tries they are not. some European countries

clans on men OF. war and ON merchantmen; others
do not. In some records dentists are carried as
nhysicians, and in still others. though the mum.
her is less. veterinary surgeons are borne.
II is \ fact, the knowledge of which is not,
perhaps. generally dirnsed. that under the en-
iarged New York charter the city will be, To

old. and for over n quarter Of q century he has
made a speciality Of what he calls the law busi-
ness. His district embraces the greater part OF
west Texas, extending from the Panhandle to
the Rio Grandc border. acd 10 800 miles wide,
This territory is as large as several OF the East
ern States combined. and Is the home of many
desperate characters. Owing to tho fact that tho
district Is 20 isolated the higher court authori.
tics have permitted Roy to deal out Justice
pretty much as he pleased, and this accounts
for some OF tho remarkable decisions which he
has rendered.
Roy Bean vas born in Kentucky, near Lex.
ineton. but his family moved to Missouri. When
q mere boy he ran away from home and came to
San Antonio. where he lived for many years.
being engaged in running q wagon train between
this city and chihuahua, Mexico. lie was o
fearless man and handy with a gun when oc-
casion required. He took great pride in his per-
sonal appearance in his earlier days. and was q
regular frontier dandy, with his $500 silver
mounted saddle and $50 Mexican sombrero. He
drifted into California during the gold excitement
there and ran q saloon and gambling establish
ment at San Gabriel Mission, In southern Califor-
mia. He built a race track and on Sundays thou
sands would gather at the little place for horse
racing and cocktghting.
When the gold excitement in California sub
sided. Bean came back to tho Texas frontier and
started a saloon at Langtry. and was elected
Justic Of the Peace. He has continued to hold
that office ever since. His saloon is close to the
Southern Pacific track. and the sign that may
be seen by passengers is as follows:

A Wonderful Bird.

One day a wonderful bird tapped at
the window Of Mrs. Nanson's homo at
Christiania. Instantly the window was
opened. and the wife of the famous arc
tic explorer in another moment covered
the little messenger with kisses and
caresses. The carrier pigeon had been
away from the cottage 80 long months,
but it had not forgotten the way home.
1t brought note from Narsen, stating
that all was going we'll with him and
his expedition in the polar regions
Nansen had fastened a message to Il
carrier pigeon and turned the bird loose.
The frail courier darted out into the
blizzardly air. 1t flew like an arrow
over / 200 miles Of frozen waste and
then sped forward over another l,OOO
miles of ocean and plains and forests
and one morning entered the window q
the waiting mistress and delivered the
message which she had been awaiting
so anxiously. We boast of human pluck
sagacity and endurance, but this lovlnt
little carrier pigeon, in its homewarC
flight. after an absence of 30 months
accomplished feat so wonderful tina
we can only give ourselves up to TIT
amazement and admiration which mus
overwhelm every one when the marvel
ous story is told. Mrs Nansen's pigeol

v,v ruro,eans Are safe Among Turks.

The explanation of the safety OF Eu-
ropeans among these fellows, even where
the police were absent, is probably to be
found in the tentative character OF the
Turks violations of right and of law.
In doing what is wrong he always be-
gins an abject coward, gaining courage
with IMMUNITY. The mere fact that e
European would walk straight through
q crowd Of the bludgeon men, Josthng
against tbs m i'll an unconcened manner'
convinced them that for some reason he
was not q safe man 20 attack. In some
cases Armenians walked safely through
the mobs on the street simply by push
ing their way with a determined AIR. III
every case where an Armenian ran from
them, or even hesitated ON meeting
them, his only chance OF life was gone
The tentative character OF turkish ag-
pressions is not sufficiently borne III
mind. At the beginning of wrong even
n sultan will draw back when he sees thi''
his course is resented by one whom ne
knows to have the right and believes &c

A uummin9 Birds Umbrella.

In front of window where I worked
last summer was butternut tree. A
humming bird built her nest on a limb
that grew near the window. and we
had an opportunity to watch her close
". In fact, we could look right into
the nest. One day when there was a
heavy shower coming up, we thought
we would see if she covered her young
during the rain. Well, when the first
drops fell, she came and took in her
bill one of two or three large leaves
growing close by and laid this leaf over
tho nest so as completely to cover it;
then she flew away. On examining the
leaf we found hole in it, and in the
side of the nest was small stick that
,he leaf was fastened to or hooked up
ON. After the storm was over the old
bird came back and unlocked the leaf,
and the nest was perfectly y.-Amer-
