Ave ministers, Sons Bndr

A bishop marked the names of those
whom he deemed worthy of remem-
brance for some service performed in
religion or politics or literature or sci
ence or art or commerce or philan-
thropy or warfare, or some other as
poets of the various life Of the nation.
OF such names he found 1870 who
were the children of clergymen or min
listers, taking no account of those who
were grandchildren of clergymen or
more remote descendants. Of the chill
dren Of lawyers, there were $40, and
Of doctors $50. The sons OF clergymen
who became themselves clergymen
were $50 He further asserts that the
superiority which the clergy enjoy in
respect to their children to the other
professions lies beyond dispute. The
superiority has been not of numbers
only, but of degree. From clerical
homes have sprung more distinguished
sons than from the homes of any secu-
lar profession.-Leslie's Weekly,

why Larks Are Easily Caurht.
Honest Dealing Is the Foundation of
Cur Reputation.


No bird is SO easily netted as the
bark; ne generally starts from the
ground just before the lower edge Of
the net touches him and invariably
mounts perpendicularly. This chav-
acteristic propensity to ascend at once
may be observed by any person who
''treads up" lark in field and salts

same moment, a newly captured lark
and a sparrow. from cage or hat

the sparrow will fly off horizontally.
dash himself against the window and
lie almost stunned from the shock, the
lark will almost always mount up
ward to the ceiling and fiutter there
for a time in vain efforts to reach
the sky before he attempts any other
mode of exit; but this habit is fatal to
him in the netting season. He would
generally be able to escape, as indeed
the bunting or clod bird. the sparrow
and the linnet constantly do, by flying
straight forward; but ascending, as he
does, directly from the ground the mo-
ment his wings have touched the upper
part of the net it is suffered to drop
suddenly, and his capture is rendered
inevitable.-London Standard.

An Incident of Life In New Ye

An Incident of Life In New York.
The street beggar with pockets lined
with money is fairly familiar figure
of city life, but one Of the free dis
pensaries reports an instance of an
attempt to get free medicine on the
plea of poverty that deserves a place
in the catalogue of good stories of
graft. A middle aged woman ap-
peared the other day and got a pre-
scription, after which she took her
place in the line Of persons waiting to
have their medicine made up by the
apothecary. This particular woman,
it should be said, had given satisfac-
tory answers to all the questions put
to her designed to show whether she
was proper subject for charity. Sud-
denly there was a cry: I'm robbed
I'm. robbedY' The victim was this
woman, who SO far forgot her previous
professions as to assert that her
pocket had been picked and that the
thief h; got away with 500. Then
she lost the opportunity to get free
medicine, thus adding, in her view,
insult to injury.-New York Post.

A Funny Eagle.


A Russian grand duke was once the
guest of a German prince. 1t was
early in the last century. In Russia
the imperial double headed eagle is to
be seen everywhere and on everything
throughout the empire stamped,
painted, embroidered Or seulptured. At
that period the education Of grand
dukes was somewhat limited This
grand duke went out shooting in Ger
many and, among other things, shot a
large bird. He asked an experienced
huntsman who accompanied him what
the bird was. AN eagle, your high
ness" was the answer. The grand
duke turned on him in an irritated
way. "How can it be an eagle" he
asked, "when it has only one headF

shadelexs Forests.

Large tracts of dense forests in Aus
tralia are practically shadeless. Many
kinds Of trees in that strange country
turn their edges instead of the fiat sur
face of the leaves to the sun, and thus
one may stand under a tree of enor-
nous size and be as fully exposed to
the sun as though he were in the open
plain. Travel through these forests
is said to be exceedingly arduous work.
as the trees, while they do not cut off
the sun, prevent the breeze from
reaching the ground, and thus the trav-
eler experiences a sitting heat.

Two Silesians, seated in a music

that the younger challenged the older

George Washington died of disease
that was then called a quinsy, but
which Is now known as acute laryngi-
It's. His physicians treated him ac-
cording to their best light and knowl-
edge, but such treatment now would
be little short Of criminal. An eminent
authority says that If medical men had
known as much then as they do now
the distinguished patient would proba-
bly, have been cured in a week. As it
was, he slowly strangled to death by
the closing Of his throat. At the pres
ent time physicians treat case Of this
kind by tracheotomy-tha is, by max
ing an opening into the windpipe,
through which the patient may breathe.
They also diagnose a case by using
the laryngoscope, which enables them
to look into the throat and see exactly
what the trouble Is.

Exercise For Business Men.

The average city business man with
out physical impediments to fight
against can probably get along success
fully on such an exercise schedule as
the following:
First.-Five minutes each day of
purely muscular exercise, such as can
be taken perfectly well in ones room
without any special apparatus.
Second.-Short intervals during the
day of fresh air, brisk walking, deep
breathing. This can all be secured in
the regular order of the days business
A man can easily spend as much as
half an hour walking out of doors
every day. This is for heart, lungs
and digestion.
Third.-The reservation of at least
one day week for rest and recreation,
for being out of doors, for playing
games, etc. This is essential. This is
for both body and mind A man who
thinks he can get along without at
least one vacation time a week simply
proves his ignorance.-World's Work.

Twin. Born In Dlnerent Years.

birth of twins" said an old nurse.
"Only once was 1 present, though, when
the twins were born in different years. y
'9Twins born in different years? You
are crazy" said the young bride.
'Not a bit of it." said the old nurse.
1.-THE thing happened in Pittsburg in
1899. The first twin was born at II 80
o'clock on the night of Dec. 81, 1899,
and the second was born at 1 o'clock

are, ma'am, a number of other cases

The difference between turning

1t is not unreasonable to anticipate
an increase of % per cent in cures

it will be culpable negligence in tie

DIR. Asa Clark.
This article is too long already,
but it will be sadly incomplete with
out reference to the "Grand Old
Man, :" who has devoted so many years
of his life to its welfare. DIR. Asa
Clark was born ia Essex county,
New York, June %, 1924, graduated
in medicine in 1S49, and came to
California the same year. He
praoticed his profession at Placer
vile, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles,
and was made superintendent of the
Stockton Hospital IN 1861. He held
this position until 1871, when he re-
signed to undertake a contract for
caring for the insane of Nevada and
Arizona in private hospital in
Stockton. He was made superlntend-
ent of the State Hospital again in
1892, and held the position uninter-
ruptedly until August 10, 1906, when
he retired to make a place for his
son, +. P. Clark, whom he has practi-
cally reared to care for insane per
sons. At the time of his resignation,
although past eighty-two years, DIR.
Asa Clark retained unimpaired not
only his faculties of mind, clear as
the peals of church tower chimes,
but his sympathies for the distraught
of mind were as keen and deep and
broad and sweet as the fountain of
human hope. May the twilight of
his life deepen into the darkness that
precedes the new dawning with all
the tranquility of California sum-
mer night.
Some Other Old Timers.
Much remains that can not be said,
but it may be of interest to know
that Mrs Sterling has been ICON
tinuously patient in the Stockton
Hospital since 1852, that William
Harrison Light came in 1853 and is
still there; that Herman Bauer has
been an attendant for 43 years, Al Of
which have. been spent in one ward.
Paul Jensen has been an attendant
for 81 years, and has broken scores,
perhaps hundreds, of new attendants
into service during that time, and,
though growing old, is good for years
to come.

Stockton Hospital is fairly equlpp-

Medicine can do little toward re-

The best curative agencies are

devoid of mechanical appliances for

as follows:
Nov, my dear friends, allow me a
personal word with reference to my re-

because when the pastor of a church
decides on a certain line of action it
is right that he should take the con-
