Force of Habit.

A Boston psychologist was recently
reminded of the story of the Russian
jailer who, changing his occupation.
found the chief interest Of his leisure
moments in catching birds, putting
them in cages and selling them to the

The scientist having to attend a
series of lectures in a large public
hall struck up acquaintance with the
janitor of the building and soon noted
in him a suggestive bent of mind. The
man seemed fond of counting the peo-
Pile, and would occasionally report the
exact number present. 1--WE have 115

POI all told" or, when the hall was
crowded, Il make it 37O." There was
a problem in all this, but it took some
time for the psychologist to solve it.
A bit of friendly, familiar talk, O
tinually renewed, did the business,
for 1t brought out the fact that the
lanitor had spent many Of his previ-
GUS years as warden in an Eastern
prison. With rifle on shoulder, from
some enclosing wall, the man had
counted the convicts until the habit
became %ingrained. In the recesses
of his brain the lecture hall took the
shape of a Jail yard and the audience
were his prisoners. He counted be-

Of the publican, the row of tenements
known as Hooker's Alley pore the I'M
enviable reputation of being the most
dilapidated and squalid in the neigh

AS Mrs. Crotchett sat on the top
step of No. IA, conducting a
tional symposium with a choice circle
of acquaintance similarly elevated
across the street, her stirring tale OF
the domestic infelicity of her late hus-
bands second cousin, who recently
committed matrimony for the third
time, was rudely interrupted by the
appearance of a stranger.
The presence Of an unfamiliar face
in Hooker's Alley was such an unusu-

cumstance withal, that the ladies paid
honor to the occasion by rising in a

In an effort to satisfy a ~pardonable
