Couldn't Help Il.

A well-known Allegheny clergyman
recently spoke at a religious service
in the penitentiary in Woods Run.
He noticed that one of the convicts
seemed extraordinarily impressed.
After the service he sought him out
and continued the good work by re-
marking:
my friend, hope you will profit
by my remarks just now and become
a new man."
Indeed WILL" was the cheerful re-
ply. in fact, / promise to you that
I will never commit another crime,
but will lead an exemplary life to my
dying day."
Il am very glad to hear you say
that" said the clergyman, but are
you certain you will be able to keep
the promise?"
"Oh, yes" said the convict. I'm
in jail for life. "-Harper's Weekly.

LAW Al ANY HOUR.
Company at New York Ready to Sup
ply Attorneys All Night Long.

A company has been formed to sup
ply legal services which may be need
ed at any hour of the day or night.
The hotels and their patrons are
largely responsible for this continu.
Gus featurs in business lines. At the
large hotels business men meet after
the conventional hours to discuss busi-
ness enterprises. They find themselves
frequently in need of the services of
a lawyer or an expert accountant, and
to meet this demand the new company
was recently organized.
A man who got married under ro-
mantle circumstances few weeks ago
found the services of the company
valuable in carrying out his plans.
His arrangements required the leas-
ing Of steam yacht, and he sought in
vain for a lawyer qualified to draw up
such lease until at 1880 p. m. he
heard of the existence of the company.
By 11:45 one of the company's law
yers, accompanied by stenographer,
was in his room and the necessary
document was being dictated.
The completed papers, ready for
the signatures of the lessor and lessee,
were in his hands the following morn
ing at six o'clock. At seven the sig
natures of afl parties had been OBJ
tanned, and at eight the bridegroom,
accompanied by his bride and her
friend were steaming up the Hudson
river to the place where they were
married at noon.
The establishment of the 24-hour
service is the result of conversation
the president of the company had with
the manager of one of the greatest
hotels.
I'VE are trying" said the hotel man,
"to do everything for the convenience
Of our guests. We keep our vaults
open until after the theater for the
deposit of the jewels of our guests,
just as the Night and Day bank does.
1--WE have physician regularly on
call, and stenographers, ana every ia
cility available for the transaction of
business by our guests, but of late
we have had a number of calls for law
yers to draw up contracts or to give
advice about matters requiring urgent
attention.
IF it were not for the expense !
would have my own hotel attorney
quartered right here in the house."
The suggestion of the hotel man was
followed in less than week by the es.
tablishment of the company, and up
town and downtown offices were open.
ed for the transaction of business at
all hours Of the day and night except
Sundays. All the principal hotels in
New York are in touch with the com
pany.

QUEER SIDE OF JAPAN.
ODD Faith Exhibited in the Mi&ado's
Domains.

In Japan the lower orders or lie
not only make war and supply meat,
but eviDce other peculiarties that rem
der them invaluable concomitants OF
civilization. A few days ago num-
Der of people were seen gazing intent
ly toward the upper limbs of large
pine tree. Stopping to learn the Sc
cret of this unusual interest, man
was observed descending the tree,
while crow was furiously cawing and
beating about his head; then it was
seen that the trespasser had possessed
himself of one of her brood, an unpre-
possessing little chick that no one
could be imagined to fancy for a pet
Asked what he intended doing with
the young crow, he replied that 1t
made excellent medicine for the
blood: "Chi-no-michi-no kuSuri," to
Use his exact words. To insure the
efficacy of the medicine, he explained,
the bird must be taken before it leaves
the nest, If possible, or, if it has left
the nest, before it gets to where 1t
can drink water; for, he asserted, II
it has of itself taken water, it loses
all virtue as a blood-cure. The pro-
cess of preparing the remedy is, first,
to kill the crow and, without cleaning
it, to encase the body in an air-tight
covering of cement or clay. The
mould is then baked for two or three
days in a hots fire. When the clay
crust is removed, naturally the crow
will be found to be black, lump OF
pure charcoal. This is pulverized and
converted into pills of the pink Or
der, which are very popular here as
blood regulator. He reminded his in
terlocutors that the medicine was very
rare because Of the difficulty of find
ing a crow that had not taken water.
The man was perfectly sincere, and
appeared extremely proud of his sue
cess in having secured the bird. He
was reluctant to leave the tree lest
there should be another one on the
ground somewhere.
Those who, since the brilliant
Cross Society in the late war, are ac-
customed to take for granted the ad-
vance Of medical science in this coun-
try. will, of course, bear in mind that
the practitioner under consideration
had not at this time acquired member
ship in any legally recognized thera-
peutic fraternity; but probably his
nostrum was quite as effective as
much of the medicine that is sold to
large constituency at higher price
in other portions Of the globe.-Har-

Paved with Good Intentions.

A diplomat was talking in Washing
ton about the late Auberon Herbert,
son of the earl Of Carnarvon.
"He was connected with the British
embassy here" said the diplomat, but
after he turned Utopian he would
have naught to do with diplomacy.
Why, he once addressed crowd in
New York like this:
"'The mad, blind struggle for the
dollar, with no thought for the higher
life, is running your country. The
hearts of your men are like the rocks
that underline your great city. 1t is
great city of hard hearts,
Mr.. Herbert was always original.
once heard him address New
Years banquet of clergymen. I'll try
and repeat the address in his own
words. 1t ran:
Meeting this morning the gentle
man called Mephisto or Beezlebub,
greeted him politely and said:
"'How are things down your way?'
"He grinned and shook his head.
He pointed to- the mud on his hoof and
tail.

THE RECOURSE TO DRINK.
Why Many Workmen Become Victims
of Alcoholic Beverages.

If laboring man should happen to
lose his job and If, as sometimes hap
pens, he searches in vain for weeks
or months for another, so that at last
despair seizes upon him, or if, in
moments Of loneliness, he should
think of his future, and the entire
hopelessness of his condition should
dawn upon him, if then in despair he
should take recourse to drink, who is
to blame for it? Is not the cause for
his efforts to drown his sorrows in
drink in our economic conditions?
asks The Arena.
Nobody has right to judge the
drunkaTd who is unable to read in his
soul. With the exception of compare
lively few cases of heredity the drunk
ard is the victim of economic social
conditions, and where the vice is one
of heredity the ancestor was the vic
tim.
Sometimes poverty is the result Of
habitual drunkenness, but such cases
are individual. AS social factor
poverty is a cause of habitual drunk
enness, and it is the cause in probably
80 cases of hundred.

BURBANK ON RUM AND TOBACCO.
Plant Wizard Declares They Unfit One
for Accurate Work.

Luther Burbank, the PLANT Wizard"
of Santa Rosa, Cal, and probably the
most famous horticulturist in the
world, has some positive convictions
on the rum and tobacco question.
From recent interview with Champe
8. Andrews, published in the New
York Times of August 8, covering
whole page of that paper, we clip the
following.
DO you think that whisky and to-
bacco impair the faculty for work?"
asked. He replied:
IF l answered your question by say
ing that never use tobacco and alco.
hOl in any form, and very rarely
either coffee or tea, you might say
that was a personal preference and
proved nothing. But | can prove to
you most conclusively that even the
mild use of stimulants is incompatible
with work requiring accurate atten.
ton and definite concentration. To
assist me in my work of budding

as watch maktng-4 have a force OF
some 20 men. l discharge men from
this force at the first show of incom-
potency. Some time ago my foreman
asked me IL took pains to inquire
into the personal habits of my men.
On being answered in the negative.
he surprised me by saying that the
men found unable to do the delicate
work Of budding invariably turned out
to be smokers and drinkers. These
men, while able to do the rough work
of farming, call budding and other del
icate work 'puttering, and have to
give it up owing to an inability to
concentrate their nerve force. Even
men who smoke one cigar a day I
cannot intrust with some Of my deli
cate work. Cigarettes are even more
damaging than cigars, and their use
by young boys is little short of Grim
