Perambu1ating Goat Diaries.

There are couple of European dai
ries in Athens VIII ose proprietors keep
cows, but they do business mostly With
the foreigners and with those Greeks
who ape foreign manners. Your genuine
Athenian believes the goat to be the
proper milk producing animal, and he
regards the COW in this connection
about the same as Americans do the
mare.
The milkman takes his animals with
him, jangling their bells and sneezing
"Gala! he shouts, with a quick, star
Ting cry, with a ''g' whose cultural
quality is unattainable by adult learn
ers and usually Unperceived by them.
When a customer comes to the door,
he strips the desired quantity into the
proffered receptacle before her vigilant
eyes, selecting one of the goats and
paying no attention to the others, who
understand the business as we'll as he
does. Patiently they stand about, chew
ing the cud or resting on contiguous
doorsteps.
When their master moves on. they
arise and follow. more faithful than

What's In a Nane3

Experienced patent medicine men,
says a gossiper in the New Orleans
Times Democrat, admit the impossl
bility of predicting when the turning
point will be reached in booming any
new remedy. The amount sunk in eX-
plotting two articles before returns
come in may vary 100000. In my
opinion. the name has a good deal to
do with getting a demand started. II
Il is hard to remember or hard to pro
nounce, it is undoubtedly a serious
handicap, and, on the contrary, a
catchy, simple title, just odd enough to
stick in ones memory, is in itself an
advertisement worth thousands of dol
lars. have a house in mind thai
spent a good sized fortune trying to
populariZe q tablet preparation with u
queer Indian title that no two people
pronounced in exactly the same way.
1t was good thing and cleverly put
before the public, and it failed solely. |
think, because people were reluctant to
ask for it for fear Of making them
selves ridiculous by butchering the
pronunciation. That's a point about
which the average customer is very
sensitive"

Noting the fact that many country
bred men in the large cities take the
local paper in their old home, the Phil
adelphia Record says: The head of a
large Market street wholesale business
house, a man now advanced in years
has been a regular subscriber to one
of the Bucks county papers for &c
years. He wouldn't give it up fol-
anything said this mans son. He
gets more real enjoyment from it than
from anything he reads. A daily edi.
ton has been started within the last
ten years, but he doesn't want that
He only gets the weekly edition, which
prints gossip of personal nature from
the various towns throughout the coun.
ty. He will pore over this by the hour,
and his comments on the various items
Of news are often amusing. Scarcely a
name is mentioned that he doesn't say,
"Why, used to go to school with his
father" or 81 once licked his Uncle
Jim fer tying my clothes up when we
used to go swimming in the Neshami-
ny."'"

Accept No Substitute.
A Case LINCOLN would Not Take.

All clients knew that, with "Old
Abe" as their lawyer, they would win
their case-if it was fair; if not, that it
was a waste of time to take it to him.
After listening some time one day to a
would be clients statement, with his
eyes on the ceiling, he swung suddenly
round in his chair and exclaimed:
"Well, you have a pretty good case
in technical law, but a pretty bad one
in equity and justice. You'll have to
get some other fellow to win this case
for you. l couldn't do it. All the time,
while standing talking to that jury, I'd
be thinking, Lincoln, you're liar and
l believe l should forget myself and
say it out loud."-Success.

THE CENSUS OF 1890.
United States Population Then Was
Less Than 100000.

United States Population Then Was
Less Than 100000.
When the first census of the United
States was taken in 1890, there were 10
states and the southwest and north
west territories. The returns fixed the
population at 3,929,214, while those Of
1900 give over 100000, a fourteen
fold growth In 10 years.
In the first census nothing was
sought but the number of Inhabitants,
and the task was assigned to United
States marshals, wlo performed the
work for Several censuses. In the CEN
sus library is a record of the first CEN
sus, which shows that the census Of
1870 was ordered in March and COM
pleted by October, 1871, : very credita-
BILE showing when the difficulty of COM
municaticn is considered. The popula-
ton was divided into five classes-free
white males of 16 years and upward,
including heads of families; free white
females, including heads of families;
free white males under 16 years, other
persons, slaves. Fourteen enumeration
districts were mapped out of the 1G
states and the population of the towns,
counties and states given. All of the
states except Maine and Massachusetts
had slaves. Virginia led with a popu-
lation of 1860 whites and $4,000
slaves. North Carolina was second,
with 393, 751 whites and 100000 slaves.
Maryland had a population of 400, 756,
of which 100, O36 were slaves. The slave
population of the northern states is
given as follows:
New Hampshire, 15S; Rhode Island,
94S; Connecticut, 2,764; New York, d.
324; New Jersey, 1923; Pennsylvania,
3,237; Delaware, S,SS7; Vermont, 16.
The population of the southwest ter
ritory was 35,691 whites and 3,417
slaves.
The record is full of errors in calcula-
ton and addition, but is interesting in
showing how the population has i'll
creased and how the art of census tax
ing has developed with the population.

HIS FIRST RECOGNITION.
The Turning Point In the Career of
Nathaniel Hawthorne.

The Turning Point In the Career of
Nathaniel Hawthorne.
The first reading of "The Scarlet
Letter. has been told in T. W. Hig-
ginson's book Of essays, Contempt
raries." The reading was given to
the authors dearest critic, his wife.
During the entire winter when he was
at work upon the book he seemed op-
pressed by some secret anxiety.
There was a knot in his forehead
I'll the time," said Mrs. Hawthorne.
Finally one evening he went to her
and said that he had written something
which he would like to read aloud.
The work amounted to very little, but
still he would like to read it. All that
evening he read, but as the romance
was unfinished at bedtime his wife
made no comments, knowing that he
disliked criticism until one had heard
the whole.
The next night he read again, and
that in the midst of a moving scene
she sank from her low stool to the
floor, pressed her hands to her ears
and declared that she could not bear
to hear it.
Hawthorne put down the manuscript
and looked at her in amazement.
do you really feel it so much?" he
asked. "Then there must be something
in it,"
The next day the manuscript was de-
livered to the publisher, and on the
following morning Mr.. James T. Fields,
the publisher, appeared at the authors
door. When he was admitted, he caught
the little boy of the family in his arms
and asked, You splendid little fellow,
do you know what father you haveY'
He had sat up all night to read the
manuscript and had posted out to
Salem in the early morning. After his
interview with the publisher Haw-
thorne came down stairs with a firm
step and walked about, his face illu-
mined by new hope and vigor. The

One day Judge Marshall, engrossed
In his reflections, was driving over the
wretched roads of North Carolina on
his way to Raleigh in stick gig. His
horse turned out of the road, and the
sulky ran over sapling and was tilted
so as to arouse the judge. When he
found that he could move neither to
right nor left, an cid negro, who had
come along, solved the difficulty.

A BOY AND A RIFLE.

And the Trick the Father Played to
Make the YOfIngster Careful.
Exact statistics on the subject are
lacking, but it is certain that the man
who didn't know it was Loaded kills
and mains annually a great many per-
sons. The only safe rule with a gun
is never under any circumstances to
point it at anybody. One should al
ways act CT the assumption that it is
loaded. Unfortunately, though, an aver
age human being learns only by ex-
perience. and where gun is concerned
that often entails an awful price.
Bearing this in mind q veteran
sportsman of this city adopted a
unique method of impressing this les
son on his SOD. This is how he told
the story:
81 want my son to be a sportsman,
so that when he gets to be as old as
his father he may have as many
pleasant memories to look back to.
Therefore, on his sixteenth birthday /
gave him a rife. And instead of read
ing him long lecture on the necessity
of handling the weapon carefully, put
up job on him that would be far more
effective. After he had spent couple
of hours fondlinS it and cleaning it
and examining the mechanism, after
the manner of healthy boys, contriv-
ed unknown to him to slip a blank
cartridge into the breach.
''Then | called him out into the yard
and holding my hat in front of me, ask
ed him to show me how he would take
aim at it. There was an explosion, and
he fell in a dead faint. You may think
it mean of me. but | allowed him to
think that only the badness of his aim
or some intervention of Providence
saved me from death. The lesson he
learned will last him through life, be-
cause a terrible fright accompanied it.

Mrs. Mary K. Burns Of sos Hiawatha

the remedy that cures where all others
fail. For years she endured all the
tortures of indigestion, nervousness
and female weakness, complication
of troubles that five physicians con-
fessed their inability to cure. Her
story is well worth the attention of
every woman. She says:
my illness commenced after my
first child was born. 1 was so weak
and nervous that it seemed I would
never get strong. For twelve years 1
doctored for female trouble, compli-
Gated with nervousness and indiges-
ton. My stomach was so weak that
for days at time I could eat nothing
but bread and milk. 1 was also trou-
bled with palpitation of the heart and
was often so miserable that could not
lie down. Five doctors prescribed for
me and took many kinds of medicine
without being benefited. One day I
saw Dr. Williams Pink Pills adver-
tised in the papers and I decided to
give them a trial. I did so and had

you can imagine the relief I felt
when I found that after years of suf-
fering I was being cured. 1 continued
taking the pills and the female trouble
entirely disappeared. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People did more for
me than it was claimed they would do.
Since 1 first took the pills I have not
needed a doctor nor any other medi-
cine; they have restored my health,
