tumorous department' Height of Humility. Patrick F. Murphy, at an American society banquet In Paris, recently told his famous "humility" story. "As we Americans," he said, "compare our country with foreign lands, and compare ourselves with the foreigners we have no cause for humility. No cause to emulate the local preacher. "A poor local preacher was once invited to a luncheon given by his bishop to all the pastors of the diocese. These pastors were for the most part eloquent, learned and successful men. The local preacher felt very humble among them. "A few minutes after the beginning of the luncheon the bishop noticed, at the foot of the long table, a subdued commotion. Then a strange and horrible odor floated to him. " 'Dear me,' he exclaimed, wrinkling up his nose, 'there's a very odd smell In the room, I think.' "A profound and awkward silence ensued. Then, In the midst of this silence, the local preacher said calmly and modestly: " 'It Is only my egg, bishop.' "The bishop turned to one of his servants. "Take the gentleman's egg away,' he Bald. 'It's a bad one.' "Oh, no, bishop,' said the local preacher, continuing to eat on. 'Do not trouble, sir. It is quite good enough for me.'"?Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. A Pajama One, "The late Col. A. K. McClure was a brilliant raconteur," said a veteran Clover club man. "I'll never forget his pajama story. "Col. McClure told this story at a Clover club dinner In the old Bellevue of Philadelphia. It was a story about the Spanish war. 'There was a regiment. It seems, recruited from Conshohocken, Clnnaminson, Wawa and Manunka Chunk and the ladles of those Pennsylvania towns got together after the regiment's departure and made a lot of pajamas for the soldiera Pajamas were a new thing In those days; smart, exclusive, and so forth; the ordinary man wore a nightshirt.

Didn't Want Justice.?A well known attorney of this city had a client whose case presented a mass of technicalities, of which his lawyer took every possible advantage. Before the final argument and handing down of opinion, however, the client was forced to take a Journey of some hundreds of miles and was compelled to be absent for several weeks. He arranged with his attorney to flash him by telegraph the result of the trial of his case, but told him to so word his telegram that the addressee alone would comprehend its import. The result was the awarding of a verdict in favor of the litigant in question, and his delighted counsel sent him the following message: "Justice and truth have triumphed." What was his amazement at receiving a few hours later a telegram from his client which said: "Yours received. Hard luck. Appeal immediately."?Philadelphia Times.

Declaring New York to be in many respects the most lawless city on earth and arraigning Tammany, the public and the press In scathing terms as being responsible for it, General Theodore Bingham, former head of the New York police, says i:i Hampton's Magazine for September that a hundred million grafting, blackmailing dollars change hands yearly in the metropolis, and that he could easily have made $1,000,000 dishonestly any year he was in office. "The power of Tammany Hall rests and has rested for forty years upon its ability to control the police by fair means or foul," the former commissioner says. "A strong, honest, fearless police commissioner, supported by police magistrates of ability and integrity and a mayor big enough to conduct his office without fear or favor. can sap and utterly destroy Tarn many influence in ten years or even less, provided he is empowered to dismiss or transfer his subordinates for cause, without recourse to the courts. "I do not believe I am unfair in estimating that from 1,500 to 2,000 members of the force are unscrupulous grafters whose hands are always out for easy money. "That this should be known to the head of the department and apparently ignored is hard for the average citizen to understand but," says General Bingham in Hampton's, "the police commissioner is only the nominal head of the police department in New York city, in that he is appointed and is subject at any time to removal by the mayor. On the other hand, a policeman is virtually a policeman for life; as, under the New York law, all sentences of dismissal by the commissioner are subject to revison by the courts. To make this plainer: The men are pensioned off on reaching the age limit, or for other legitimate causes, and are required during their time of service to contribute two per cent of their salaries toward the maintenance of the pension fund. "Discipline and the question of vaatod interest should be kept abso lutely separate. It is not hard to see that the influence of the commissioner is tremendously weakened by such a situation. By permitting these conditions to exist the people of New York, through their legislators, are directly fostering graft and blackmail. "I am asked to estimate the money value of graft and blackmail in New York each year. Of course, no one could make such an estimate with anything like complete accuracy, but my belief is that the total is not less than $100,000,000 a year. In fact, this figure, astounding in Itself, is an under rather than over estimate of what is annually paid by criminals and crooked politicians, votes and immunity in New York. In relation to this colossal brokerage on crime, the-profits are proportionately large. "If you will study the ordinances of the city of New York carefully, and analyze their meanings, you will come to the inevitable conclusion that hidden in most of them is graft The great majority of these city laws were not enacted for purposes of law and order; they were not made to be obeyed?they were made to be broken, so that some one could make money from the intentional or unintentional violator of insincere law. "During my first year at the head or the police department it would have been an easy matter for me to have made 5600,000 in bribe money, and 1,000,000 would not have been an excessive figure at all. "One day shortly after my arrival at police headquarters, an acquaintance dropped into my office. " 'Commissioner,* he said, 'there is a house at ? West Thirty-third street run very quietly. It will be worth 510,000 a month to you"?but the sentence was never finished to my knowledge. "As a matter of fact, the place had never been opened, and the man had been used as an agent to feel out the department. "A few months later I was offered 55,000 in cash and 5500 a month merely to be seen shaking hands with the proprietor of an upper Broadway cafe. "Another instance of the perplexity with which the lower order of criminal views an honest police administraton was afforded by an East Side dance hall proprietor. Following a custom of years he had tendered his usual quarterly 'assesment' to the patrolman of the precinct. Turned down in that quarter, he had gone to the captain, then to the inspector, both of whom, to his amazement, were square. He had finally come to me in desperation, to learn who would take h'.s money in return for protection." General Bingham does not believe gambling can be eliminated, but says that "a reasonable law Imposing a heavy license on gambling houses and subjecting the gambling evil to castiron restrictions whereby such resorts shall be kept out of general view can be enforced by the police and gambling thereby reduced to a minimum, provided newspapers are discouraged from publishing gambling and racing news and a way is found to prevent the courts from rendering innocuous nearly every legislative restriction as is now notoriously the case." Taking up the Rogues' Gallery controversy which led to his removal by Mayor McClellan, the former commissioner, In his article, cites a United States district court decision and also the following opinion, expressed by President Taft when acting attorney general of the United States, as to the practice of photographing criminals: "The photographing of known criminals Is a necessity. The decision of Judge Barr, to which reference is made in ine communication 01 tne secretary of the treasury, fully sustains your right to permit It to be done. "This question of photographing and measuring persons arrested on criminal charges should be definitely settled by a wise and strict law, not drawn in the interests of the criminal classes, but justly, carefully, considerately and with an absolute preponderance in favor of law-abiding society as opposed to its law-breaking enemies," says General Bingham. Summarizing the gravest hindrances to and most pressing needs of a successful police administration, General Bingham emphasizes that, "The police must not have anything to do with the conduct of elections other than lies within their proper police duly in preserving the peace. All elections should be conducted solely by the election boards and agents employed by them under the state superintendent of elections. "The police should have no contact with saloons nor with enforcing the excise law, but should be confined to their legitimate duty of maintaining the peace and, of course, making arrests for violation of law occurring openly In their presence. Enforcement \ of the excise law should rest entirely with the state board of excise com missloners and their agents. Legalize | the above two provisions and at once < the status of a police force will be ( raised to a plane never yet attained In ( this country. , "Finally and most emphatically, | there is need of individual patriotism, < among not only the citizens of New , York, but of all the cities of the United States. So long as private clti- ] zens ignore the corrupt governing or their cities and make a by-word of the ballot, there can be no permanent reform, nor any cure for the grafting, bribing, blackmailing, lawlessness which is eating out the heart of this republic." FAMOUS WAX ARTIST. Mme. Tussaud Had an Exciting and Dramatic Career. This is the story of Mme. Tussaud, who was born in Berne in 1760 and died in London in 1850, and who, during the stormy time of the French revolution. modeled in wax some of the heads that fell by the guillotine. Marie Gresholtz was the daughter of an aid-de-camp of General Wurmser in the Seven Tears* war. She was born after the death of her father. Her mother was the sister of Dr. John Christopher Curtius of Berne. This Dr. Curtius had made many anatomical and other models in wax and had attracted the attention of the Prince de Conti. This nobleman urged Curtius to come to Paris and establish himself as a modeler In wax. The Curtius studio became the renn/ tho fnahlnnnhlo world, and 1 In connection with this he had a museum of curiosities. Among his patrons were Voltaire, Jean Jacques, Rousseau, Mesmer, Mirabeau, Diderot, Benjamin Franklin, Paul Jones and many other notable persons. In his visits to his sister at Berne Dr. Curtis had taught his niece, Marie, many of the secrets of modeling in wax. She showed such ability in this that her uncle urged her mother to make a home with him in Paris and to allow him to adopt Marie as his daughter. Marie began earnest study with Dr. Curtius, and she was so skillful in the modeling of wax flowers that this art became a craze. Even the royal personages in the palace took it up,and Marie spent some time giving lessons to Mme. Elizabeth, the young sister of Louis XVI. When the revolution broke out Dr. Curtius took the side of the people and sent for Marie to come from the palace. It was rather singular that two of his wax models should have played a foremost part in the opening scenes of that awful period. In his collection of models was the bust of the minister, Necker, father of Mme. de Stael, and one of Philippe, duke of Orleans. Two days before the storming of the Bastille, a mob took these two busts from his museum in the 1 Palais Royal, draped them in black crape to show their sympatny ana started to parade the streets with these. As the procession filed across the Place Vendome a troop of dragons and one of the regiments charged. A sword stroke cut the bust of Neckerln halves, arid the man who was carrying It was hit by a musket ball In the leg and received the thrust of a sword in his breast. The bust of the duke of Orleans escaped Injury, but In the fight to defend it several persons were killed. The soldiers made desperate efforts to demolish It At the taking of the Bastille Dr. Curtlus was active and for his services to France was rewarded by the national assembly. A badge of honor was presented to him, and this was inscribed with the famous date and a memorial of his bravery and patriotism. His house was a favorite place of meeting with the leaders of the revolution, so Marie had an opportunity to see them all. There was only one time when Marie was In any danger during this desperate period. She was "suspected" and sent to prison. Here at the same time was Mme. de Beauharnals, who had barely escaped the guillotine and who was later the Josephine of Napoleon Bonaparte. Her uncle was able to get Marie's release from prison. and she came out In time to see the downfall of Robsplerre, Danton and Desmoulins. In the days of their power she had been called to model the heads of many who fell by the guillotine. She was obliged to take them just after the fall of the fatal knife. She did this awful work with the heads of poor Marie Antoinette and of the Princess Lamballe, the queen's friend. When the leaders suffered by the guillotine In their turn she modeled their heads. After the revolution her uncle died, and In 1795 she married M. Tussaud. She could not overcome the shock of her experiences during the revolution, and she persuaded her husband to take her and the valuable collections of wax models left her by Dr. Curtius over to England. They established this collection In the Strand. The collection was taken all about the country, and in 1833 It was brought back to London and made a permanent exhibition. Her sons conducted the business, and she J took an active .share in this till she was eighty years of age.?Boston Globe. Geographical Knowledge In 1492.?

In 2,000 years the world had In reality retrograded rather than advanced. It was the popular belief in the time of Columbus that the world was flat, though many conemporary scholars thought differently. The great civilizations of the world at that time were grouped around the Mediterranean sea, although England was a considerable power and the Scandivanlans were a great maritime people. But ' Europeans at that time knew but little of Asia aiid but little or Airica, ana America, or course, was undreamed of.

HAY FEVER RAVAGE8. < More Prevalent In the United States i Than Other Countries. ] In an exhaustive paper on hay fever 1 read at a meeting of the Society of 1 the Alumni of Bellevue hospital, Dr. W. W. Carter said that the disease, 1 which will be making its annual visi- ( tatlon soon, was not recognized 100 1 years ago. Moreover, he said, this an- ' noying complaint is more prevalent in ' the United States than in any other 1 country, and it has increased to a re- * markable extent in the last fifty years. J rhese are some of the striking feat- 1 iires of the paper: 1 "Hay fever is an affection of com- 1 paratlvely recent date; there is no positive evidence that it was recognlz- 1 sd prior to 1819, when Bostock read ' uefore the Royal Medlco-Chirurgical 1 society or ix>naon a paper enuuea a Periodic Affection of the Eyes and Cfhest,' In which he described his own iffllctions and attributed It to the sunshine and heat In summer. "The remarkable Increase of this iialady during the past half century in this country at once arrests our attention and we seek an explanation. There are within our boundaries In the neighborhood of 100,000 hay fever subjects, and this number is being rapidly augmented. Hay fever, like othir reflex neuroses, is pre-eminently an iffection of civilized man, and is most :ommon In our large cities, where It is increased with the increased demands for nerve energy. "On the other hand, the farmer who :omes in contact with more pollen { than any one else Is practically never iffected. In this case the Immunity , may have been acquired by constant contact with the exciting cause of the llsease; but what Is more likely, It;omes as a compensation for his simple habits of life. "Heredity plays a most Important part In this affection, and is recognized by various writers In from 40 to 50 per cent of their cases. In my own practice in fully 75 per cent of cases more than one member of the family Is affected. In one New York family, where the father and two uncles are iflfected, five out of seven children have hay fever and two of these have also asthma. "In regard to the use of drugs, with i view to curing the affection, I must 3ay that my own experiences have have been most unsatisfactory." Palliative measures.?If the patient Is unable to go to a hay fever Immune district, he should avoid excitement and hurry. Exercise Increases the number of respirations, consequently the amount of pollen inhaled. Then, too, the perspiration Is a solvent for the pollen, and in the susceptible subject causes the face to Itch and burn. Bright sunlight and dust aggravate the symptoms. The skin, bowels and kidneys should he kept active and the diet must be frugal. Well known reflex excitants, 3uch as shell flsh and strawberries, should be avoided, and meat should be taken only sparingly.?New York rimes. THE SLIPSHOD MIND. \ Bane to Its Owner and to the World at Largo. The Individual with shipshod apjearance, says Ruth Cameron, is a leavy burden for himself and the vorld, but the individual with the slipihod mind is a greater. Tou know hem as well as I do, the men and wo- * nen who never face any issue fairly ind squarely, who leave their thoughts ilways at tag ends, who never try to ook ahead and plan their lives to some rood end, but who weakly say they'd ather not know what's coming, for 'when ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to >e wise." I think the devil made that naxlm just for those people and congratulated himself when he had done t, for it's the devil's most important >usiness, you know, to supply fools vith good sounding Justifications of heir folly, and that's such a very food one. I hate that maxim. I can't magine anything more foolishly untrue, jut how many times I've heard slipihods quote it in explanation of their langing shoestrings of thought orrunlown heels of indecision. I know- a firl who whenever she is late for an ippointment?which she is nine times >ut of ten?firmly turns her eyes away 'rom the clocks along her route so that ?he need not be reminded of how ibominably late she is. "When ignorince Is bliss 'tis folly to be wise," she luotes in explanation. Now, I am pretty sure that if she would punish lerself by craning- her neck to see eviry clock she possibly could and burnng the record of her tardiness deep nto her brain she would be less likely :o be late the next time. It is the same girl who will never look over ler bills when she thinks she has spent nore money than she ought to have. 'When ignorance is bliss," she cheerfully tells me, " 'tis folly to be wise," ind goes calmly on toward the inevitable crash from the ruins of which some long suffering relative has to pull ler. The shipshods are always drifters, rhey go with the tide. They don't tnow exactly where it's going to take them. They're not at all sure but that If they sat down and thought it over they might not find it wasn't taking them to the places where they really tvant to go. But for that very reason they do not sit down and think, for 'when ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to ae wise," you know. But the bliss that is bought at the price of ignorance is ipt to be a pretty costly one, and my heartfelt advice to any one who is enloylng that sort is to commit the folly pf being1 wise as soon as possible, for if you act before it is too late you will probably be able to win in exchange for the slipshod, uncertain, uneasy bliss of Ignorance the sane, well founded happiness of look-things-ln-theface wisdom. And unless you're an incurable slipshod you'll find it pays. The Railways of the World.

RAWLS PLUMBING COMPANY. The Caeh Value of a Life. A large Insurance company has applied for permission to buy 3,000 acres of land on which to establish a tuberculosis sanitarium. One of its policy-holders dies of tuberculosis rvery 32 minutes. Upon the conservative estimate of Prof. Irving Fisher, president of the committee of onehundred on national health, tuberculosis is seventy-five per cent preventable. In its early stages it can generally be cured. An Insurance company can better afford to cure a consumptive than to pay a death loss. The German government is taking a leading role in consumption prevention, as it does in other health-protective work and in guarding men against factory accidents. New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and other states are establishing consumption sanitariums as a matter of business economy. It is a policy that pays. So much a life is worth. Is it not odd that, when city and state govern ments and even Insurance companies are doing or planning so much, the people most concerned, those menaced by consumptives themselves, do frequently so little? Many men with delicate lungs and frail physique can preserve their lives for their families without losing a day's work by observing the three basic rules of breathing fresh air winter and summer, or eating oftener than three times a day plain nourishing food and of avoiding unnecessary physical exertion until the weight begins to Increase.
