How JOIN Fell From Grace.

How JOIN Fell From Grace.
Chinese servant stories are epidemic.
Here's one, and it's true:
A west side woman a few days ago
was boasting to a caller of the virtues
Of her Monaghan cook, and she empha-
sized the latter's systematic methods
as his special strong point.
"John finishes his work at precisely
the same minute every evening"" said
she proudly. II always know exactly
where he Is and what he is doing at
any time of the day."
"Well, what is he doing now?" was
asked.
"Let me see. 1t is Z o'clock. Well,
he has just finished putting the dishes
away and at this moment is sweeping
the kitchen. Come, let's 60 out and see
If I'm not right"
They started through the dining
room and found everything In it's place,
as prophesied. In the pantry the dishes
were neatly arranged in their custom
airy place. Then they opened the
kitchen door.
There In the center of the room was
John, and he was complacently wash
Ing himself In the dishpan!
The embarrassed mistress and her
convulsed guest retired in haste, and
the servant problem was dropped

Sea Bathing.

A person can easily determine with
one indulgence whether or not open
air bathing Is hurtful to him. If cir
culation is speedily restored after he
has left the water, II his skin Is we'll
Redeemed and he is soon we'll warmed
up and as strong and ''lively" as when
he took his first plunge, then he may
properly assume that his bath has done
him good. II. on the other hand, his
skin continues cold and clammy for Is
or 20 minutes, Notwithstanding the
brisk rubbing he gives himself. and for
an hour or more afterward he Is weak,
dull and languid, then he may be toler-
ably certain that there is something
wrong with him which forbids cold
bathing.

Andersen's Childlike Vanity.


"Hans Christian Andersen" said one
who saw him often, Twas the most
charming egotist ever knew" When
the Danish crown prince brought home
his Swedish bride in the summer of
1860, a great assemblage of people
stood in the streets Of Copenhagen to
see the royal couple pass.
In one group were several distin-
guished women and the great story
teller. Hans Christian Andersen. The
women occupied front seats ut the win
dow and received marked attention
from the court dignitaries in the pro-
cession.
Some one in the company remarked
that this particular window seemed to
possess peculiar attractions.
"Oh, yes" said the aged poet, pleased
and happy in his seat, where he had
been seen by nobody. Everybody
knows me-"
The quiet smile that went round the
group had no trace of unkindness. His
childish vanity was one Of the amiable
traits of the gentle old man. Every
body knew and loved it.

The Population OF Babylon.


Various attempts have been made. by
comparing it's area with that of modern
cities. to estimate the population Of
Babylon. But on the lowest calcula-
ton it would be found, supposing it to
have borne any considerable resem-
blance to one of our cities. to have had
population Of 5.O0O.OOO. a SUPPOSE
ton to which all but insuperable OBJ
stacles are opposed. The map Of ASH
attic Turkey shows that the extent Of
country around Babylon available for
agricultural purposes must have been
quite inadequate to supply the neces-
sary demands for anything like such
an immense population.
Perhaps. on the whole. we may esti-
mate the population Mt from 100000
to 100000. This supposition derives
support from the fact that Seleucia.
with a population OF 100000 souls. Is
stated by Strab0 and Pliny to have
been about half the size Of Babylon In
the DAYS Of her greatest glory.

A Pot Walloper.

The parliamentary register for 1906
showed that there was then only one
pot walloper in all England. One see
ing the term for the first time might
easily imagine that pot walloper was
a species of ichthyosaurus or some 9TH
er reptile of past age. It will be dis.
covered upon inquiry. however. that
the term "pot walloper" Is literally one
who boils pot and was applied to vot-
ers in certain boroughs Of England
where, before the passage Of the re-
form bill of 1882, the qualifications for
suffrage was to have boiled twalloped)
his own pot in the parish for six
months.

In these days when Justice Jerome
of New York is making such strenu
GUS efforts to prove that the police
force of that city is composed of
and thugs, it is truly de-
lightful to read the following commu
nication from an Ohio visitor in the
great city. 1t is a rare testimonial to
the domestic virtues of New York
policeman. Albeit, the hardened and
cynical New Yorker who reads it may
feel disposed to indulge his hilarl.y in
contemplation of the naive innocence
of the unsophisticated lady from
Steubenville. O. In letter to the
New York Sun the lady says:
Il have heard a great deal about
the wickedness of New York city and
how people in nice families do not al
ways get along as they should. and
how the police are corrupt and there
is no good in them, but | do not be-

on the elevated railroad to Fifty-ninth
street. Going back down Columbus
avenue we met policeman, very
affahle looking one, too, and he was
walking along in the most charming
way with his wife, and they did seem
to be enjoying their stroll so much.

The Secret Service has unearthed another baRd of counterfeiters and se- cured large quantity of bogus bills, which are so cleverly executed that the average person would never suspect them of being spurious. Things of great value are always selected by eounterfeiters for imitation, notably the celebrated Hostetter's Stomach Ritters, which has many imitators but no equals for indigestion, dyspepsia, constipation, nervousness and general debility. The Bitters sets things right in the stomach, and when the stomach is in good order, it makes good blood and plenty of it.

h the supreme court yesterday an opinion prepared by Judge R. E.

The opinion is long one, go- ing into all the details of the Arizona Narrow Gauge bonds and the Pima county bonds that were issued in lieu of them. and for the funding of which into territorial bonds, a legal fight has been in progress for years. The ind- ing of the supreme court is, in fact, the revivifying of the loan commission and the ordering of mandate directing the commission to fund these bonds.-lRe- publican.
