ODD THINGS SENT BY EXPRESS.
Everything From Candy to Calves
Shipped Clear Across Country.

Dogs by express said the traveller,
are not uncommon shipments. There
are dog crates made nowadays espe-
cially designed for such uses, with
with places in them for food and drink
en- route.
Express companies occasionally get
snakes TO carry. and birds. First and
last they get, besides the innumerably
more familiar packages and boxes, all
manner of things, including livestock;
all of which I knew as well as anybody
else. and still it did surprise me a lit
tie when I saw going along in an ex-
press wagon here in New York a while
ago a calf in crate, says the New
York Sun.
THE expressman had considerably
put this crate with the calf in it at one
side of the wagon and at the rear
where air would come to it on two
sides, but there was the usual misceI-
laneous assortment Of stuff packed
around the crate and covering the top
of it. The wagon was packed full and
the calf in the crate was to the eX-
pressman evidently just one item in the
load, though the load did look strange
to me going down the street with that
calf looking out through the Stats of its
crate at the back. And l didn't think
l was likely very soon to see another
live calf carried by express.
But | did see another one, similarly
Grated up. one dav last week in the
Albany railroad station, standing there
in its crate on q platform truck, just
come off 4 car, or waiting to go aboard
of one; and somebody, the express
folks l suppose had provided for it a
bunch of hay laid down en- the truck.
from which the calf, with it's head out
through the Stats of the crate, was
feeding.
$50 now feel that I am beginning to
get somewhat familiar with the sight
of calves in crates shipped by express,
and | dare say they don't seem strange
at all 10 eXpressmen. l imagine that
at any big Office, if man should walk
III any day leading a camel. say, or a
giraffe. to go to Kalamazoo or Kan
kakee or any other place on the map
the man on the desk would write a re-
ceipt for ii quite as matter of course.
and then casually look up and say:
Value? and put that down. and then
Just have somebody lead the beast to

lreIand's Population.

The December returns show another
small increase in the population of Ire
land. This is the first occasion that
two successive quarters show the num-
Der of emigrants exceeded by the ma
tural increase of the population. The
births registered during the quarter
numbered 24,529, the deaths 1882, and
the migrants 5,2G3. There is thus an
estimated increase of 1,OS4, and this
Notwithstanding an increased death
rate. The significance of the returns
is emphasized by the steadily decreas-
mg rate of decline in the population
from year to year. Thus, the estimat-
ed decrease in the population i'm June
1909, was nearly $4,000. as compared
With the previous year; the decrease in
June. 1901, was estimated at nearly
%. 900: the following June showed a
drop in the rate of $4,000: i'm June, 1903,
the estimated decrease had risen again
to. lS600 in 1904 it was 1880; 1905, TO-
500 and last June only 300. Since that
date the population has increased by a
couple of thousand, so that since June,
1895, not understanding a heavy emigra-
ton roll. the population has been prac-
tically stationery. Last year was the
best since 1877, the only year that
showed an increase of population since
1915.

Hypothetical.

Miss de Smyithe.' began the young
man. Il want to ask you hypothetic-
al question:
The girl nodded assent.
If a young man of good family and
sound health and an assured income of
$4,000 were to meet the most charming
of girls and feed her ice cream for d
year; if she had a complexion like a
rose. hair crown of golden glory the
hand of a fairy. the bearing of d
queen: if she knew how not to play the
piano, how to induce her small brother
to absent himself: was versed in
cooking, competent to superintendent a
home; and if young man, auspici-
ously catching the girl alone, were to
murmer into her ear Of pearl. Will
you marry me?' what, in your estima-
tion would be her condition Of mind
and what her answer
while not an expert alienist," re-
sponded the girl coyly, Il think she'd
believe him chump for being so slow.
but she'd say Yes
With the preliminaries thus settled,
the naming of the day was a simple
matter.-Philadelph Ledger.

IRISH BONANZA KINGS.
Rivals of the "Rig Four" Digging
Out Gold in Nevada,

The state of Nevada contains over
70,000,000 acres of land, and five years
ago held 10000 people, writes j. X. Nc
CURE in the Catholic Sun. The COM
mon animal is the sinking cadaVer-
GUS coyote, the flower of the desert is
the cactus bush. and mountains of
rocks conceal the sun and the stars
And yet in this rugged common
wealth of rocks and miners one mining
camp alone in which worked four fam
GUS 1rishmen, produced nearly the CO.
lossal sum of s70O.00O,0OO. The big four
were the bonanza kings-Mackay. Fair
Flood and O'Brien. Mrs. Mackay is
now great society lady of Paris and
London. The new discoveries of Ne
Vada's treasures are wonderful in their
riches and as fascinating will be the
history of the daring Irish-American
miners Of the new mining districts of
Nevada and they may surpass, improb-
able as itmay seem. the fabulous
amount Of metal produced in the palmy
days of Virginia City.
Outside of the nearly 500. 600. 600 pro-
duced on the Comstock lode there was
$500. 100000 more Of precious metal
mined in the other camps Of the state.
Seven years ago an Irishman named
jim Butler made the discovery Of gold
which has brought 10000 people into
the state. made three railroads and
built four cities. Reno, the principal
town. had 1000 inhabitants only, and
Carson City. famous for ring contests,
fewer still. Today there are four larger
towns sprung up over night like mag
ic and every man there and the few
women. crazy mad for gold. Saloons
gambling houses, concert halls running
day and night, and no coins under
dimes TO be found i'm the camps water
the rarest commodity and some of the
dreariest spots in the trackless desert
the scene of most amazing life, and the
costliest place in all America to live.
Jim Butler struck the golden vein on
the Mizpah ledge in 1900 and here was
Tonopah which shipped 121,000 tons of
ore last year, on which was paid $4,000
600 in cash dividends. OF course not all
the successful miners are sons and
grandsons Of Erin, but there is no de-
nying the fact that they are born min
crs, and among the most adventure
some and bravest of that hardy class.
The pick and shovel Of the early SOS
and SOS made great graduates as min
ers and contractors. The combination |
OF adventure, good humor under dis |
appointment, industry and the spirit of
unfailing home-loYe did not die out |

year, and LOTUS. on the Sandstone
mine, 100000 / fancy the Hayes mine
will eclipse them all for have seen a
copy of the receipt for the largest sim
gle shipment of ore, d record breaker.
The sacks of ore in this one shipment
weighed forty-nine tons. and they
cashed in to the mines $51495S.39 net
from that single shipment from the
Hayes mine. The mountain burro,
worth S., that carried Jim Butler
across the Tonopah mountains, was
truly the Golden Horse. At Silver Peak
are Lynch and O'Meara working on
vein which promises a rich yield. The
famous Blair mine is owned by Will
liam Flynn of Pittsburg.
There are some bad IriShmen in the
camps, too; there as everywhere else.
And it may be said right here that
nineteen mines out of every twenty
advertised in the newspapers are
fraudulent and designed to separate the
investor from his money.
Goldfield has $1,000 inhabitants and
there was rot soul there four years
ago. There is not room for half the
number to live comfortably, and the
town is congeSted with much sickness.
This objection will be overcome in
time, as they have water and are put
ting in sewers. The town produced
$40 100000 in gold last year. The pay
roll is 100000 a month, big wages for |
a town of $4,000 people.

Fitzsimmons to fight to finish for the
worlds championship, thereby making
