Philadelphia's First Book.

The first book of any kind published
in Philadelphia was Atkins Almanack
for the year 1856. 1t was an unpaged
pamphlet of ten leaves, only two copies
Of which are now known to be in ex-
istence. The first copy of the AL
manack printed was sent to Colonel
Markham, PENIS deputy, who report
ed to the council that the book had
enormously declared Pennsylvania to
have been founded by Lord Penn"
The council disapproved such a high
sounding title and directed the author
and printer (William Bradford) to
forthwith and effectually blot out ye
words Lord Penn" This had the eff
feet of recalling the whole edition and
the abolition of the obnoxious words.

The Kind of Ear That 1. Rare

The Kind of Ear That Is Rare.
The ear that Darwin illustrates in his
descent of Man" as being allied to
the pointed type belonging to our SIM
Ian relatives is not IS uncommon az
many may imagine. 1t is my observa-
ton that this popularity of the fold
in question is oftener to be observed
in women, and in many of these cases
the persistence of the wisdom teeth
is also a characteristic. l have in
mind two cases of this sort, one of a
man, the other of a woman. both resi-
dents of one of our leading cities and
among their social and intellectual
forces.
The latter is a remarkable reversion
to an earlier type in ear, in teeth, in
length of arm, In painless childbirth,
in 1exibility of hand joints and in
other marked characteristics. 1t ap-
pears to me that the ear. like the YER
inform appendix, the suspension OF
the viscera, the position of the orifice
Of the bladder and the unprotected
condition of certain main arteries, Is
yet in a transitional state and not fully
adapted to the eve human conditions
imposed by the erect position and the
artifcialities of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The throwing Of the slipper after the

those of master and slave, for it seems
that the shoe was an emblem of author

tiANGMAN'S PAY.

Helps to Fiji His Purse.


Helps to Fiji His Purse.
In the east a hangman's trade is very
profitable. AS soon as a person il
condemned to be hanged notice Is sent
to the executioner, who has the privi-
lege Of erecting the scafold wherever
he pleases, and at sunrise the next
morning he begins his work. Accom-
panied by his assistants. who guard
the condemned man and carry material
for the scafold, be goes to some prOmi-
nent place In front Of a large dwelling
and there proceeds to erect the scafold.
A few minutes later the owner of the
large dwelling rushes out and implores
him to GO somewhere else.
ST don't want to have a man hanged
In front of my house." he explains.
"AIl right" say the hangman. I'm
willing to go elsewhere provided you
pay me for my trouble in coming here
and for the time which / have spent
at the job"
Though the sum which he names In
pretty large, the owner of the large
dwelling pays it without n word.
whereupon the hangman goes to an
other large dwelling, where a similar
scene is enacted.
In this way several hours are spent
by the executioner in extorting money
from all the magnates in the %neighbor-
hood. When his purse is at last well
filled he erects the scaffold in some
dark wood, and Don the unfortunate
man, who has been tramping after him
1ll day, is at rest.-New York Herald.
