To the Medical Profession:
The various medical associations and
the medical profession will be glad to
learn that Dr. John S. Billings, Surgeon
U. S. Army, has consented to take charge
of the report on the mortality and vital
statistics of the United State as returned
by the Eleventh census. As the United
States has no system of registration of
vital statistics, such as is relied upon by
other civilized nations for the purpose of
awrtmninT the actual movement of
population, our census affords the only
opportunity of obtaining near an ap
proximate cst.mate of the birth and
death rates of much the larger part of
the country, which is entirely unprovid
ed with any satisfactory system of State
and municipal registration. In view of
this, the census office, during the month
of May this year, will issue to the medi
cal profession throughout the country
"Physician's Registers'' for the purpose
of obtaining more acurate returns of
deaths than it is possible fur the enu
merators to make. It is earnestly hoped
that physicians in every part ut the
country will co-operate with the census
office in this important work. The rec
ord should be kept from June 1, 1889,
to May 31, 1890. Nearly 20.C00 of these
registration books were filled up and re
turned to the office in 1880, and nearly
all of thorn used for statistical purposes.
It is hoped that nearly double this num
ber will be obtained tot tie Eleventh
census. Physicians not receiving regis
ters can obtain them by sending their
names and addresses to the census office,
and, with the register, an oficl?J envel
ope which requires no stamp will be pro
vided for their return t Wellington,
If all medical and surgical practitioners
throughout the country will lend their
aid, the mortality and vital s'atistics of
the Eleventh census will be . mure com
prehensive and comple'e than tiiey faaye
ever been. Every physician should take
a personal pride in having this report as
fall and accurate as it is possibK- to make
it. It is he,-eiy pr'iised that ail infor
mation obfained through il.i; source
shall held strictly confidential.

Yes, hunting bargains is part of a woman'
life. Nor is it essential that the word "bar
gains" in this connection biiouhl apply strictly
to bliopin. Principally, if not primarily
she desires a liarcraiii tu a husband and who
can blanio her? just aa much as she does in a
dress; and if, iK-rchance, a week should juiks
over her head without her being able to re
cord in hor diary a bargain of some sort, she
would feel that she had lived in vain.
Of course, no woman over pays an ordinary
price for anything, be sho rich or oor. Mer
chants understand women weaknesses in
this respect, aud while one may say they are
cruel to take advantage of tbeui, he can say
with equal truth that they would be cruel
uot to humor them. Not every woman strives
to delude herself, but certainly the masses do
so, and no one knows this better than woman
heiself. A striking exemplification of this
fact may be witnessed any day in a millinery
store, where, as a rule, woman deals with
woman. The woman who can afford it will
pay S tor a bonnet which, in all reason,
jhe should have secured for $10 or $12; but
:1 the saleswoman were to ask her the latter
:3gures she would turn up her nose and walk
away.
The manager of a well biowij millinery
store rcluti-s a typical incident. One of his
intst patrons desired a new spring bonnet,
and in selecting the trimmings was siiowu
some point d'esprit lace.
"How much is this a yard?" she asked,
holding up a sample which she had been ex
aim li n lg for some tune.
"Two dollars," was the reply
"I want something letter," she said, giving
tlio article a careless toss to one side.
The lady in waiting took one furtive look
at her only, but that was sufficient to obtain
an accurate mental photograph. Bringing
out another box, containing precisely the
same article and pattern, she said:
"I 6oe you like that pattern. Here is point
d'esprit, exactly like that, but it is the real
article."
"Ilow much istbatf" asked the purchaser.
smiling.
"This is J"!0 a yard," was the reply.
"I'll take that," she said, without further
parley.
And she did take it, and paid $10 a yard
for it in preference to securing it at $2
yard.
"I want some good all wool dress flannel,"
said a young lady in a drygoods store the
other day.
An article was shown her. It was just
what she wanted.
"How much is that?" she asked.
"Forty-nine cents."
She turned up her nose.
"I've got the same articlo for sixty cents,"
said the proprietor, and he carefully took
down from the shelf another bolt of flannel
exactly like the first. He carefully dusted off
the counter, and laying the flannel down ten
derly, said: "I am sure you will like this; I
seo you are a judge of a good article."
"There, now," she said, almost before ehe
had time to feci of its texture, "I like that.
You say this is sixty cents V
"Sixty cents."
"Well, you can give me twelve yards of it."
Here ia a purchaser in a decorative art
store. She has a very slight knowledge of
decorative art, and would aa readily yay $100
for a fifty cent vase ns fifty cents for a $100
one, but she affects to know all about it. She
asks for a royal Worcester vase. One is
shown to her a little thing for $25. She
wants "something better," sho says. The
clerk smiles, and produces a $100 vase.
"Haven't you got anything else!" she asks.
"Certainly."
a vase comes out. ne looks at it a
long time, wants to know if it's real, and
finally remarks she doesn t like the work.
Then the clerk takes another penetrating look
at her, and hauls down a Venetian or Sat-
suma articlo worth aboat $23. This is beau
tiful, and catches her eye, and her face lights
up.
"Now, there," says tho clerk, determined to
get rid of her, "is the real royal Worcester."
"And what's the price of thatf she asks.
"I seo you are a judge of a good article,"
says the clerk, "and 111 make that to you
cheap;" and then, pretending to carefully ex
amine tho cost price, says: "I'll make that to
you for $100."
Of course she takes it, and goes off congrat
ulating herself that she has gotten a bargain
in royal Worcester.
IN HER POCKET ALL THE TIME.
But there is the suspicious woman, and of
all creatures on earth she Is the most aggra
vating to the inexperienced salesman. She
takes exactly what he doesn't tell her to, and
wouldn't dream of purchasing the honest
articlo which he, in his failure to understand
her, honestly recommends, and he turns away
with tho mental determination to never again
try to give a woman the worth of her money.
To the experienced salesman, however, this
creature is one of the most familiar of pur
chasers, and he generally succeeds in selling
to her exactly the thing the house has been
trying to get rid of for months by carelessly
showing it to her and then praising some
thing else. But h.ow many women go into a
store without having the faintest idea of
what they want 1 Here is a familiar conver
sation:
"I wapt to so some dress trimming."
'"What kind, pleasel"
"Oh, I don't know. Show me something.''
Seventeen kinds of trimming are finally
piled upon the counter.
"Well," says the would be purchaser, "this
is nono of it exactly what I want. Haven't
you something elseP
She is asked if she can't describe the pat
tern she wants.
"Oh, yes," shf. says, "of course. I want it
like this;" and, after all the trouble she has
occasioned the saleswoman, she draws a sam
ple of the very thing she wants from her reti
cule, and a moment later sho has found what
ehe wants. But she cams there to feast her
oyes, and cce Cot the overworked girl behind
the counter to spend fifteen or ' twenty min
utes gratifying her curiosity. New York

An Important Meeting.
May 5, 1789, was the date of one of the most
important ere&ts in mcxlern history, tho
meeting of the states-general of France, which
was the commencement of the French revo
lution. The deputies were introduced accord
ing to the etiquette and order established in
1014. The clergy in cassocks, large cloaks
and square caps, sat on the right of the
throna;atbe left were tho nobles glittering
in cloth sf gold and lace,' while the commons
were ranged In front at the end of the ball.
When the deputies were seated, Louis XVI
arrived, followed by tho queen and princes,
who were greeted with loud applause. The
royal speech was gracious and ' coucuiatory,
but neither the king nor his ministers under
stood the importance of the crisis, which was
to end in the irremediable destruction of the
old regiigft FTlUadrVT Tfo
'THE LADY OF LYONS."
I m first Performance Anonymous to l
reivo l!olilr Critic.
I am not old enough to renemU-r the pub
lication of tho early novels of Kdwurd by t ton
Dulwer, and consequently am unublo toseak
of their reception ly the public press, but
when that gifted gentlomafi took to writing
for the stage I perfectly recollect tho wivae
utUu-k.s that wc:'c made upon itis li a.ii.-.lic
attempts.
There U no doubt that Hulwer hail, in some
way or other, made himself personally offen
sive to the erititfi, but, whether or no, ho
came fully pcrsu:iued that no play vritt-:i by
him, however good it might be, would be av
lowed to succeed upod tho stage.
Acting upon this conviction he, in counsel
with Macready, who always played tho hero
in his pieces, determined to produce his next
dramatic attempt anonymously. Happy
thought! Tho subject fixed ujkju was "The
Lady of Lyons," and when the play was pro
duced about tho year 18-12, 1 think tho uu
thorship was known to two ersoiis only
Mncruudy and Bulwer. Dickens was tho in
timate friend of both actor and writer and on
the invitation of Mac-ready ho took his place
among the audience on tho lirst nilit, in total
ignorance of anything and everything con
nected with tho play. Tho curtain fell to a
storm of applause. Dickens went delightedly
behind the scenes to congratulate tho tfreut
actor on a well deserved success.
In Macready's dressing room Dickens found
Bulwer, looking, as ho thought, a little dis
turbed. "A capital playl good idea well and dra
matically worked out T!;-r
fellow, 1 suppose, hur. i..-.i.; .. .....- ut
our friend here," indicutiug Bulwer. "If
thU is his first work I predict a fine future
for him; as for you, my dear Maeready,
you are in for a long run, depend uoii it."
Then, turning to Bulwer, Dickens said: "Did
you see tho phiy from tho front? I did uot
notice you among tho audience."
"No," said Bulwer; "I saw quite euough of
it from the wings."
" Well," exclaimed Dickens, "you are not
satisfied with itr
"Not a bit of it," said Bulwer. "It was
capitally acted, fortunately for the author.
Without our friend hero it might have been
a hideous failure."
"ily dear Bulwer, if I did not believe you
to be free from tho slightest tinge of jealousy
of other writers, what you have just said
world make me uneasy. The fellow has
written a bright, capital play, and you should
be the first to acknowledge as much."
"Not if I don't think so, I suppose," said
Bulwer with a smile.
In telling this anecdote, as well as I can re
member, I have used Dickens' expressions as
I heard them from his own lips.
Tho morning following tho production of
"Tho Lady of Lyons" was a triumph for
Bulwer, who was requested by the papers to
take a lesson from his rival, who had shown
by his admirable play that ho had dramatic
powers which were conspicuous by their ab
sence in such works as had hitherto pro
ceeded from the pen of Mr. Bulwer. Frith's
Reminiscences.
What Can Be Done by an Average Farmer.
It is not impossible for any farmer, who
has common sense, industry, the best knowl
edge of dairying obtainable in this meeting
and SO acres of good land to keep CO cows ou
his farm. Ho can pasture 20 acres, use 20 for
soiling, 20 for hay and 20 for ensilage. Ho
can hire all labor needed for $500 and buy CO
tons of feed for $720. Good cows, well fed,
will average 250 pounds of butter each or 15,
000 for the CO. He can sell his butter at 23
cents per pound, or $3,750. He will have 300,
000 pounds of skim milk worth 20 cents per
100, or $000. The calf product, if the herd
consists of grades, will bo worth $300 a total
revenue of $4,050, with an outlay of $1,200
and an immense amount of hard work and
thinking on tho part of the manager. While
tho result given may seem extravagant and
unattainable, they aro clearly within reach.
There are hundreds of men in Wisconsin who
get 25 cents per pound for butter, scores of
men who get moro than 250 pounds of butter
per cow, any number whoso calves average
them more than $5 each, and thousands who
get 20 cents per hundred for skim milk. Very
few keep a cow on less than one and one-half
acres of ground. II. C. Adams, as reported
In Milwaukee Sentinel.
Tuts Oat Fires and Eats the Aslics.
Mr. Elmer Partridge keeps neither hand
grenades nor fire extinguishers in his houso
on Halscy street, near Hill street, Newark,
because he owns a dog of tho Irish setter
breed that can put out flames as quickly as a
fireman, and with far less damage to the
threatened property. Twice ho discovered
small fires at night on his master's premises,
and pawed them out before he aroused tho
family to show them his good work. On
both occasions ho was slightly burned. Mr.
Partridge has no doubt that if he had the
least fear that a fire was getting beyond his
control be would sound an alarm at once.
A bundle of straw or newspapers ignited.
and a cry of "Are" brings Don, as the dog is
called, at a gallop to the place. If he cannot
extinguish the flames with his paws he rolls
his body over and over upon it, quite regard
less or the danger of singing his handsome red
coat. But the strangest part of his perform
ance is tho after piece. As soon as he has put
out the fire be lies down and deliberately eats
all the ashes with great apparent enjoyment.
The animal is, otherwise, a vegetarian. He
will eat no meat, but devours vegetables
greedily, and delights, especially, in mashed
potatoes. New York Sun.
Not Afraid of Ghosts.

house' in the 15th, and some people don't
believe such things, and neither did L I tell

noises; heard them walk, and seen them cut

who was asleep, and the moon was suiiurw

in tho moonshine, qp popped a little nijreep
about two feet high, without a sign of a hcadl
I raised up on my elbow and looked at it
carefully. It bobbed around, and got about
as good as if it had a head. ' I took a stick
and punched it, but felt nothing. I thought
to catch it, but it commenced getting lanrer.
and kept on until it filled the whole side of

men who can Ins cool enough to reuli.o wha

their minds in times of spiritual refreshing

every protest against a crsonal snub is to

man nature, moreover, that they aro likely
also to increase rather than to diminish tho

All of this is so obvious that it almost

If you do not think that mankind is
thirsty raco you should visit a unique shop
in a back street in this city. 1 hero is nothing
quite like it on tho face of the earth, and it is
a marvelous exponent of the bibulous ability
of the world.
Some years ago it popped into the mind cf
an ingenious man that by tho aid of inaehin
ery ho could beat nature making straws. He
had noticed, as so many other people have
noticed, that cooling drinks acquire an added
smoothness and dulcet charm on a sultry
night wheu they are drawn through a straw.
W e do not know who first discovered this
fact, but whoever ho was he was a benefactor
of mankind. This delightful operation, how
ever, required tho purchase of good strou
unthreshed straw in largo quantities, and the
item of expense become quite appreciable.
Our ingenious friend cudgeled his brains and
made a machine which would curl paper into
a cylinder and thus parallel nature's handi
work. But it was a crude triumph and he
was not satisfied.
Patenting his first attempt, therefore, he
began to improve upon it, and ho kept on im
proving his apparatus and multiplying his
plant as his business grew till now ho has in
his shop 151 machines capable among them of
turning out 2,000,000 paper straws a day. In
zero weather business is slack, but as tht
thermometer rises his machines grow busier
aud busier. They are run by a three horse
power electric motor. This business has been
developed inside of four years from tho
smallest and crudest of beginnings to its pres
ent gigantic proportions, und its history
show3 how much a good thought is worth.

Whether "a lio well told and stuck to after
ward is as good as the truth" was debated at
a dimicr table where I was sitting ono day
this wesk, and it brought out tho following
story from a rather dyspeptic looking man
who had eaten very sparingly: "I ied to
live up in the country," said he. "One of mv
neighbors, an unlucky, unthrifty sort of a
man, killed a pig ono day with tho aid of a
local butcher, and after the killing he said to
the butcher, 'By jinks, -Sam, I hsito to cut
up that pig. 'Why?' "Causo, ycu sec, I'm
owiu' most everybody around hero a pieco of
pork, and if I cut up the pig I'll have to r;:ve
tho most cf him away.' 'I tell you what I'd
do,' said the butcher. 'What's thitf 'I'd
leave the pig hang up out doors till 12 o'el-rck
at night, then take him iq rind givo out the
next pioiuing that he'-s teen stolen.' 'By
jinks, 111 do it!' It was u wonderfully fine
plan, the farmer thought, eid he left tho pig
hanging out, as the butchor suggested. About
11 o'clock the butcher him&df came along and
loaded the pork into his wagon. It was not
there when tho farmer went out after it.
Tho next day, with a org face, ho accosted
tho butcher in a hoarse waisper: 'I say, Sam,
somebody did really steal that pig.' "'That's
right.'aid tho butcher, nudging him sy-.T
winking wickedly at the sarr.ft ' '-. 'Cut, Ly
jinks, liia was reaJjj stolen.' 'That's
right; you stick to that and youll bo all
right,' said tho butcher encouragingly, and
ho hurried off, leaving his friend in a most
bewildered state of mind, from which I don't
think he ever fully emerged." Lewiston
