A Deuthbed Question.
Not long before hia death Barnum
summoned his lawyer to the side of the
couch whero he was lying. "I am very
much worried," he said, "about a certain
matter, and I want to consult you. My
neighbor keeps peacocks. Suppose soiuo
of them should fly over into iny yard
which they are doing all the time and
lay some eggs here. Would those eggs
belong to me, or could my neighbor com
pel me to give them up?"
The lawyer, having duly scratched his
head, answered: "Well, Mr. Barnum, I
must take time to look into this matter.
But the best thing for you to do would
be to keep the eggs and let your neigh
bor sue for their possession. In that way
your rights would be determined and
we should have a very valuable test
case." "Well," said Barnum, "while
you are looking into the matter will you
find out how it would be if the eggs
were laid by peahens?" The lawyer
swore softly to himself, but never nAde
any investigation. San Francisco Argo
naut. A Unique Character.
A unique character in the Princeton
college faculty is Joseph Korge, profess
or of modern languages. Adventure
and experience of a rough nature have
marked Ids life, the earlier part of which
was spent in Europe. Coming from a
family of Polish gentlemen who made
arms their profession, lie went into the
German army soon after finishing his
university education, and for a time was
closely associated with Prince Frederick.
Later on the Polish insurrection drew
him into it and made a longer residence
within Russian dominions undesirable.
So the ardent Pole came to this country,
and won distinction in the Union army
before he settled down as a pedagogue
under the shadow of old Nassau. Har

About Hook Reviewing.
An expert book reviewer does not need
to read a book thoroughly in order to de
scribe it sufficiently for his purpose.
Most newspaper book reviews are mere
descriptions and not criticisms, and such
notices can be written quickly by one
who has had experience and has the
necessary ability. When a publisher
sends in a book of sufficient importance
to deserve a careful criticism, either the
editor takes time to read it or he dele
gates the work to somebody else. There
are a few papers that always give care
ful reviews of the books they notice, but
their number is very small. Writer.
A Statue of Columbus.
This city owns one piece of statuary

Heading Selections from tUo Paper.
It was one of thtjco wild nights you
read of in nine novels out of ten.
. The cold spring rain splauhed vicious
ly against the panes, and the shutters
rattled and banged as the fitful gusts of
wind swept through the deserted streets.
It was lodgi night, but Brother Fay
concluded to stay at homo for once, par
ticularly as his mothci -in-law was on
her periodical inspection tour, and spend
ing a couple of days with him.
With a sigh he rolled back in the
rocker, his feet in a chair and a uews
pajer spread open before him like a
screen.
Presently he chuckled, and wife and
mother looked up from their sewing in
quiringly. "Rather a remarkable case," he ex
claimed, looking over the top of the
paper, and with a suspicious twitch
about the corners of his mouth he read
aloud :
"A model husband died recently at
Cornish, N. II. He had been married
forty -three years and never 6pent a night
away from home."
"Well, I should say he was a model
husband," broke in the old lady, grimly.
"Just think of it, Mary dear, forty-three
years and every evening sent at homo.
No lodge could coax him away from his
family," she added, significantly. "Poor
man, he ought to have a monument a
mile high," and she sighed deeply.
Brother Fay held the paper a little
higher and continued:
"Never spent a night from home. He
was paralyzed."
Without the storm beat harder and
louder (a habit storms have at such
times), while within silence reigned, save
the suppressed rustle of the paper and
the "swish" of the thread through the
pillow case the old lady was working on.
National Weekly.
Characteristics of the Uruguayans.
The whole Banda Oriental and its in
habitants strike one as being more re
fined, more amiable and more gentle
than the land and people of the sister re
public. Nevertheless, in the country
everything is very primitive, and one is
astounded at the rough way in which
many of the rich estancieros live on their
estates in the simplest and most comfort
less houses. These men own leagues and
leagues of land, and they live like the
patriarchs of old with two or three gen
erations of children under the same roof
and eating at the same table in tba old
fashioned creole way. Such men, as may
be imagined, are not progressive; they
continue their pastoral industry in an in
dolent, apathetic manner, leaving to na
ture almost everything except the opera
tion of selling and receiving the money:
and, above all, they cannot be persuaded
to subdivide their lands and let them out
for farming.
Ui i guay is being kept back chiefly by
the conservativeness of the creole land
holders, who possess immense estates that
are inadequately developed. The law of
inheritance and the obligatory subdivis
ion of property among the heirs will
modify this state of affairs in the course
of time, and these vast holdings will be
gradually broken up and developed in
detail. Tbe process, however, will nec
essarily be slow, and meanwhile, as the
state owns no lands, the increase of im
migration can only be slow in propor
tion. Theodore Child in Harper's.
Not Literature.
Farmer Ellsworth lives in the suburbs
of a little Massachusetts town, and is a
man of considerable consequence among
his friends and neighbors. During the
long winter evenings he and Aunt Hul
dah, his wife, read much, and his com
ments on the literature of the day, though
not often grammatically expressed, often
display discrimination.
Not long ago he took a book of short
sketches of country life from the town
library, and when he brought it back he
had to pay a small fine, having kept it
several days over the time allowed.
Tm willin" an' glad to pay it, too," he
said, as he laid down his pile of coppers.
"You enjoyed it, then?" asked the li
brarian. "Enjoyed it? I should think we didr
said Farmer Ellsworth. "My wife, 'spe
cially, has ready every one of them stor
ies twice over. But Tm bound to say,"
he added, in his character of critic, "that
it ain't exactly what I should call writ
in.' Why, it's jest like folks." Youth's
Companion.
Two Kinds of Censuses.
A census of the United States differs
in its very conception from a European
census. Once in ten years, as with us,
the English government makes an enu
meration of the inhabitants of the king
dom. The time chosen is the night of
the 2d of ApriL On or before that day
the enumerator must leave at each house
within his district a family schedule,
which calls for the name and personal
characteristics age, sex, color, occupa
tion, etc. of each person who on that
night shall sleep in that house. If a man
be travebng on that night, he is to be re
ported at the hotel or private house at
which he arrives in the morning.
A census of the United States is a very
different thing. As in England, the
census is supposed to be taken on a cer
tain day with us the 1st of June but
the question regarding each and every
man is not where he was on that day,
but where on that day he had "his
usual place of abode." General Francis
A. Walker in Forum.

"You see that man who just got off
the car?" said a street car conductor.
"He worked for this company over forty
years, and was a 'bus driver long before
they had any street cars. The company

and he does not do a thing. They some
times give him a quarter. He goes after
that quarter as regularly as though he
was going to get the whole of his salary."
