There's an apartment house janitor
up on Washington heights who prob
ably commands greater genuine re-
spect on the part Of the tenants than
any other janitor either on or off the
heights, and all because Of his IL
brary. Most tenants have occasion at
some time to visit the janitor's living
quarters, and so it has come to be
known what a really superior person
this janitor is, for prominently dis
played in his sitting room are nearly
a hundred volumes, including such au'
thors as Shakespeare, Milton, Tenny-
son, Carlyle, Mill, Huxley, Spencer,
Emerson, Holmes, Hawthorne, Cable
and dozen others known to fame. 1t
is a pity indeed, the tenants agree
that so superior man should be SO
reduced. and they bow down to him
accordingly. The books? Why, they
were left in care of the janitor by an
elected tenant about four years ago.

An Eccentric Doctor.

Dr.. Zaha,in was one Of the most IA
nous as he was also the most eccen-
trio Of physicians in Russia. Even
when he was summoned to attend
Gar Alexander III. in his last illness
DR.. Zaharin required the same prepa-
ration for his visit to the palace as to
any Of his patients homes-that is to
say, all dogs had to be kept out of the
way, all clocks stopped and every door
thrown wide open. Following a process
of gradual undressing, he left his furs
in the hall. his overcoat in the next
room, his galoches in the third and,
continuing, arrived at the bedside in
ordinary indoor costume This was
only one phase of DR.. Zaharin's golden
theory that s.you should take a rest
before you are tired" Accordingly
he sat down after walking every few
yards and every eight steps in going
upstairs. From the patients relatives
and every one else in the house he re-
quired absolute silence until he spoke
to them, when his questions had to be
answered by Eyes" or NO and moth
ing more. To the actual patient, how
ever, he was courtesy and considera-
ton in the highest degree.

Ben FrankIin'S Trick.

BENJAMIN Franklin once wrote this
letter to man to whom he was lend
ing some money:
81 send you herewith bill for 1C
louis d'ors. l do not pretend to give
such a sum; I only lend it to you
When you shall return to your country
you cannot fail of getting into some
kind of business that will in time en-
able you to pay all your debts. In that
case when you meet with another hon
est man in similar distress you must
pay me by lending this sum to him
enjoining him to discharge the debt by
a like operation when he shall be able
and shall meet with another opportu
nifty. I hope it may then go through
many hands before it meets with a
knave to stop it's progress. This is a
trick of mine for doing deal of good
with little money"

The March of the Walters.

The old st. Nicholas hotel that -four
ished in New York, on Broadway, near
Spring street, put on more style than
any house of its time. The walters
march was an evolution of which any
military command in the country might
have been proud. In those days the
head waiter was a master of tactics.
When the guests were seated he snap
ped his fingers, and in marched the
walters with tray loads of eatables.
Keeping perfect step, each marched to
his designated table and paused until
the head waiter snapped his fingers
twice. when down went the trays with
a rattle. At the signal of three snaps
covers were removed and dishes ar
ranged for the comfort and convex
fence of the guests. The army then
posed statuesquely until four snaps.

weighed about 800 pounds. He had
grown stout breathing the savory cdors
of roasts. Inquisitive guests used to
linger near to see him manipulate the
knife

Deafness Cannot he Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever,
nine cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed
condition of tie mucous surfaces.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC LOSES
TWO CASES ON APPEAL
Court Upholds Validity of Feed
in Transit Law

The Southern Pacific company lost
two cases in which the interstate act
for the watering and feeding
of live stock in transit had been vio-
lated, in the decision handed down yes
terdav by the United States circuit
court of appeals. 1t was proven In the
lower court that the railroad company
had kept sheep in cars So hours, when
the law provided that they should not
be confined more than rs hours unless
permission were obtained by the
shipper.
Both cases were lost by the railroad
when an appeal was taken attacking
the constitutionality of the act. 1t was
contended by the railroad that when
congress, in passing the act, specified
that the time could be extended by the
consignee of the live stock, it exceeded
its authority.
The United States circuit court of
sppeals held that the act did not deal
with the consignee, but was merely a
further provision made by congress to
see that the law was obeyed.
In the case. of Andrew Eadie and
other plaintiffs in error; against J. J.
Chambers, defendant in error. the
United States circuit court of appeals
ffirrned the decision of the lower
court Circuit Judge Ross dissented in
this opinion.

POPULATION SHOWN
BY SCHOOL CENSUS
San Francisco Has Not Less
Than 100000 Residents on
Conservative Estimate

There are 14,O75 more children in San
Francisco this year than there were
last, according to the complete census
returns submitted to Superintendent of
Schools Alfred Roncovieri yesterday by
Census Marshal John N. Ebert Us
ing the ratio Of four in the multipli-
cation, a figure Roncovieri believed to
be very fair one considering the ex-
traordinary conditions through which
San Francisco has been passing, the
population of the city may be said to
have increased over $4,000 in the last
IL months.
The total number of children in the
city is placed at 111,S00, Indicating a
total population in excess of 100000.
There are ss,oSs children in the city
between the ages of and II.
This number will bring TO the
local school department from the state
school department fund of about $685.
600. The gain in children between
these two ages over last year is only
362. The gain in population of chill
dren under years of age, how
ever, reached the enormous figure of
1878 over last year.
1t was stated yesterday at the board
u euucatlon that this gain was most
likely explained by mistakes of the
census takers of 1908, who were not
careful to distinguish whether the child
had reached the age of or not.
According to the report there are 50.-
654 families in the city. There are
LAS Monaghan children between the
ages of and II and only IS negro
children
The census shows that there are
about 5000 fewer children OF school
age now in the city than there were
just before the fire.
