Bradley first became justice of the
peace 27 years ago. Since that time
he has been in public life in quiet
way almost without intermission, hav-
ing served three or more terms as
county commissioner, and a number of
terms as a justice of the peace. His
career has given him name for rem
dering just judgment. The feeling
which evil-doers entertained for him
as dispenser of justice is we'll illus
trated in the colored philosophers es-
innate of him: "You 20 long, niger,

ly seen.

A SHREwD CAPTAIN.-Captain Nc
B., canny Scot, who was once IN
command of troop ship returning
from India. On board he had as pas
sengers, three ladies, all wives of Of
ficers in her msjesty's service.
Now, it fell out that the cabin allot'
ted to them was fitted up to accommo'
date four wash basins, one of which
was far larger than the other three.
For the right to use this especial
basin each lady put forth her claim
but the husbands, unfortunately, all
proved to be of equal rank, so to
clinch the matter, the trio bearded the
captain in his cabin.
1--WE will leave it entirely to you
captain" they said, "and abide by
your decision"
Captain Mob cogitated duty, and
then declared solemnly, with the faint
est twinkle in his gray eyes:
"Leddies, as it is no. matter O. rank,
I think it wull be that the oldes,
among ye should have the beeges'
bowl"
With murmured thanks they all filed
out again but that basin was never
used during the voyage.-London

A Boys ESSAY ON ToBACCo.-To-
bacco grows something like cabbage,
but 1 never saw none cooked. l have
heard men say that cigars that was
given them election day for nothing
was mostly cabbage leaves. Tobacco
stores are mostly kept by wooden In
iuns, who stand at the door and offer
them bunch of cigars, which is 6 glued
into the Ipjun's hand and is made OF
wood also. I tried to smoke cigar
once, and felt like Epson salts. To.
bacco was invented by man named
Walter Raleigh. When the people
first saw him smoking they thought he
was a steamboat and was frightened.
My sister Nancy is girl. l don't
know whether she likes tobacco or not.
There is young man named Leroy
who comes to see her. He was stand
ing on the steps one night and he had
a cigar in his mouth and said he did
not know as she would like it, and she
said, "Leroy, the perfume is agreea-
ble." But when my big brother Tom
lighted his pipe Nancy said, "Get out
of this house, you horrid creature the
smell of tobacco makes me sick. "
Snuff is Ipjun meal made out of to-
bacco. took little snuff once, then
I sneezed.

THE LAUGH WASN'T ON THE Boy.
1t is said that Professor Blackie often
told this anecdote ION himself" This
genial old professor used to form a
very picturesque feature in the Edin-
burgh streets. He was wiry old pa
triarch, with handsome features and
hair falling in ringlets about his shoul-
ders. No one who had seen him could
possibly forget him. One day he was
accosted by a very dirty little boot
black with his "Shine your boots,
sir ?" The professor was impressed
by the flthiness of the boys face.
II don't want a shine, my lad" said
he. "But if you'll 60 and wash your
face I'll give you sixpence."
"A' RIGHT, sir" was the lads reply.
Then he went over to a neighboring
fountain and made his ablutions. Re-
turning, ne held out his hand for the
money.
"Well, my lad," said the professor
"you have earned your sixpence
Here it is"
"I dinna want it," returned the boy
with lordly air. aye can keep i,
and get yer hair cut."-College Jour
nal.

1t is somewhat startling TO hnd an
individual capable of estimating the
population of great country at five
successive decennial censuses, from 5
to As years before they took place, so
accurately as to come within l per cent.
of the facts subsequently developed,
in each case, as in the foregoing, and
at first, even more startling to find the
same individual nearly 10 per cent. in
error in his next, the sixth, estimate
12s per cent. from the truth in the
seventh, and 235 per cent. in the eighth.
1t will not be out of place so far to
anticipate the writer's own estimate
for 1900 as to venture the prediction
that Mr.. Watson's ninth estimate,
which places the population of the
year 1900 at 100, ,235, 1856, will be shown
by the coming census to be in error by
an amount exceeding one-third of the
total population at that time. In fact,
there is nothing at all remarkable in
the estimates made by Mr.. Watson
his success in approximating the re-
suits of the earlier censuses was easily
gained, and his later failures might
almost as easily have been anticipated.
In the language of the late President
Walker, one of the greatest of Ameri-
can statistcians:
There was nothing especially de-
serving admiration in Watson's pre-
dictions. The author had no grasp
upon the future beyond what other
men possess. His estimates were not
even based upon a careful survey OF
the soil and climate Of the country.
That which caused the growth of num-
bers through the earlier decades of our
history to be so strikingly uniform was
the principle of population operating

SHE WAS Too MAD TO SPEAK
The Washington woman came across
some excellent tea in England-tea
the like of which she had never known
before. She knew there was none OF
it to be had in America, so she bought
pounds and pounds of it to bring home
with her. She didn't mean to pay
duty on it, for she felt that no really
patriotic American can consistently pay
q tea tax after what our ancestors did
in Boston harbor, so she made herself
q petticoat, and into the lining thereof
she quilted the tea. When the steam
er drew into port, she put on the gar
ment. To wear it was martyrdom.
1t seemed to weigh a ton. She could
scarcely walk in it, and the hang OF
her new going ashore gown was utter
ly ruined by it, but the custom house
officials let her pass without suspicion.
She went directly to the railway sta
tion and started for Washington. The
Journey will live long in her memory
for its discomfort. Her husband met
her at the station. He marked her
pale, worn look. AS they stepped
into the carriage she told him the
story.
"I wasn't going to let them get
ahead of me-" she said proudly.
"Wasn't it a lovely idea ?"
Her husband fell back in the car
riape and roared,
"Lovely !" he said. "Lovely! I
should say it. Why, my dear, there
isn't any duty on tea"
And let me remark in passing that
the child's sob in the silence isn't by
any means the only thing that curseth
deeper than the strong man in his
wrath.-Washington Post.

absolutely without check among peo-
pie spread sparsely over the soil, with
little of wealth and little Of extreme
poverty, and with nothing to make

tions like these population increases at
a geometrical ratio as regularly as a

ment of the citizens of the United

present century put an end to this sim
pie regularity of increase as effectively y
as the continuously unchanged envi-
ronment of previous decades had
caused its establishment.
