From the Cincinnati Commercia!-Gazette, A rather rakish-looking fellow occupied the second seat, with a horse shoe scarf pin and a long mustache, which he chewed spitefully as he looked over a veterinary surgeons bill and frowned. Just ahead of him a good old Pros byterian preacher sat with @ mourning man, who had just buried his wife. And as the B. and 0. 8. W. express moved down ite west- bound time card the minister spoke soothing words of comfort to the husband and sought to console him in his grief by hopes of future life and lessons to be learned by bitter trials below. “she was good woman—a very good woman, Henry, but the Lord had need of ber and we must bear it bravely.” The husband choked. but said nothing. ‘The minister arose, passed down the car and took a cool drink of ice water; then, with bended hoad and heartful mind still deep in sympathy, Tetarned and sank into the seat. “There may be yet some now unknown lesson in this loss,” said he softly to his companion, not staring at him in his grief. * was the reply. tinged with ill-temper: “Til know a dern sight better than to hire such a highwayman for a doctor again.” Somewhat surprised the minister exclaimed: “But then, my friend, what ix all that com- pared to her worth to you?” “But you see I had her heavily insured and Wasn't a red cent in the hole, but this chum flung the stinger into my pocket book for all he's worth, because he knew I had the stuff. And she ain't been worth so mueh to mo after all—she’s lost me more than she was worth from first to last. I'll never take up any of her blood again. There's a bad streak in i Shocked beyond expression at the heartless words, but knowing that deep grief often un- sents reason, the minister sought to soothe the unsettled mind: “I never knew her family, but she was good in her ways and always did her best.” “Oh, she’s good enough in her line, but, confound her skin, she never did her level best. Why, blame it, man, #he'd lay right down and give it up when she had everything her own way, hands down. By Joo, you ought toa-scen her slap the mud in Nancy M’s face at Sabina Inst fall.” : Vhat?” gasped the paralyzed minister. “Why, she knocked her eye out ina jog trot till she reached the finish, and let down there— give up, doggone her! But I've enterered her on the kite track at Chillicothe for the summer meet, and if she don’t pull down third money in the four-year-old 2.25 Til knock o knot hole in her neck with a fork handle!” With an inarticulate gurgle of horror the minister turned and looked at bis companion. He had dropped by mistake into the seat with the Kentucky horseman, who had just re- ceived the doctor's bill for attendance upon his trotting mare during a siege of pueumonia, ———ee. A Joker Who Never Joked. From the Boston Globe. It isa curious fact that “Joe Miller,” who fathered all the jests in this country for half a century and upward, never uttered a jest in his life. Though an excellent comic actor, he was the most taciturn and saturnine man that ever breathed. He was in the daily habit of spending his af- | ternoons at the Black J. jack, a well-known public house in Portugal street, Clare market, at that time frequented by most of the respectable tradesmen in the neighborhood, who, from Joe's imperturbable gravity whenever any ris- ible saying was recounted, derisively ascribed it to him. After his death, having loft his family unpro- vided for, advantage was taken of this custom- ry habit, and a Mr. Motley, a well-known dramatist of that day, was employed to collect all the stray jokes the arrent in town. Joe Miller's name was prefixed to them, and from that day forward the man who never ut- tered a jest became the reputed author of every Jest, ancient or modern, oe From the Boston Courier.

But Buddhism, as a popu- ler religion, bas vanished from India, #0 that the religions census of the country knows hardly of any Buddhists, excopt in Ceylon and in some districts bordering on Thibet or Bur- mab. As no Buddhist teacners could be found in Bombay or Calcutta, some imaginary beings had to be created by Mme. Blavatsky and located safely in Thibot, as yet the most inaccessible country in the world. ‘Mme. Blavataky's powers of creation were very great, whether she wished to have inter- course with Mahatmas, astral bodies, or ghosts of any kind.

I should certainly say they were hallucinated, and thet they were using words of which they knew neither the meaning nor, what is even better, the etymology. So long as Mme. Blavatsky placed her Ma- hatmas beyond the Himalayas both she and her witnesses were quite safe from any detec- tives or cross-exemining lawyers. I saw, how- ever, in the papers not long ago that even the believers in Mme. Blavatsky begin to be skep- tical about these trans-Himalayan Mabatmas. At the annual theosophical convention held in Chicago in 1892 a lady asked why outsiders were always told that the Mabatma sages dwelt beyond the Himalayan mountains. Mr. Juige, who is now the head of the American theoso- phists, replied that it was for seclusion. “If they were anywhere in the United States,” he said, “they would be pestered and interviewed by reporters.” This admitted of no reply, par- ticularly in America, — She Agreed With Him.

There Will Be No Contagious Disease Hospital Built This Year. IN REGARD TO GARBAGE. So Much Trouble Over Sites That the Hos- pital Appropriation Will Lapse—There Is No Law in Regard to Roosters in the District, There will be no hospital for contagious dis- eases erected this year. This much has been practically settled by the Commissioners. The failure to erect a hospital has been due prima- Tily to the want of proper site, When several weeks ago the Commissioners opened bids for a site upon which to locate the hos- pital, many real estate owners and agents submitted proposals. Several of the sites offered | were located across the Eastern branch. As soon as the list was published in Tae Star | residents and property owners in the vicinity appeared before the Commissioners and of- fered such strenuous objections thst the Com- missioners abandoned them and began to look elsewhere. One site in particular pleased them. It wasa piece of ground near the race track, upon which stands old Fort Sedgwick. The ground was well located and finely watered, and it was thought the Commissioners would buy there. A consultation with several of the leading physicians of the city was held and they unanimously agreed that it was too remote to locate # hospital, as the patient would die in transportation, 80 that rite was given up. Then came the offer of Mr. John R. McLean to sell several lote in square 1112, sitnated opposite the jail. Every one is familiar with the stand taken by the East Washington Citizens’ Association, as well as the letters of the physician at the jail’and the At- torney General upon the subject, and the sub- sequent abandonment of that site. Tho old observatory grounds were proposed and the Commissioners visited the? place and examined it critically. ‘hey were unanimous in the opinion that it was just the lace for the hospital, and for some days it looked as if the hospital would be located there. ‘Then came a protest from the projectors of the American University through ex-Gov. Hoyt, who stated that the grounds of the old naval observatory had been decided upon as the best possible location for the uni- versity. Coupled with this came the pro- teste of the neighboring residents and propert; owners, and the Commissioners today deciai toabandon the idea of locating the hospital there. There are absolutely no other available sites. If the Commissioners should buy in the northwest there would bea howl of indigna- tion, and if they were to select a site in any other locality the cry of being discriminated | against would | be raised. a8 stated in the opening , the Conmmissioners have about abandoned all hope of purchasing a site this year,‘and the appro- rinticn of $10,000 for that purpose will lapse. There are several schemes being talked abont to provide a place for those suffering from con- tagions diseases, but as yet there has been nothing definite decided upon. LICENSE MONEY. The liquor men who deposited the additional fee as required by the Commissioners under the new law are getting anxious about the re- turn of their money. They will be paid back on the istof July. On the 6th instant the Court of Appeals decided that the pro- visions of the new law did not apply to licenses already issued, and the excise beard, upon official notification thereof, directed the assessor to pay back all money collected from applicants for liquor licenses who had in obedience to the order of the Commissioners given up their old liconses and deposited the additional fee as required by the new law. It was stated at the time that the money would be wid back within ten days, yet seventeen days ave gone by and still no money bas been re- turned. ‘The assessor stated to a reporter of Tue Stan today that he thought his office would be ready to pry back all moneys collected under the new law by the istof July. The pay rolle had just been received from the printer and it was necessary to make them out before any- thing in the way off paying off done. The stub book showed that 587 applications for licenses to sell liquor under the new law by retail had been made, and 100 applications had been received for new licenses to sell liquor by wholesale under the Provisions of the law governing the trafic. ‘hese names of applicants would all have to be Verified by the collector, for ina number of instances applicants had filed their applications at the specified time, but had not deposited the license fee. He did’ not think there was any doubt about being ready on the Ist of July. ‘THE GARBAGE QUESTION. The appropriation for the support of the gov- ernment of the District of Columbia for the fis- cal year to end Juno 30, 1894, contains » provis- ion for the expenditure of @1 for the months of May, June, July August and September, 1893, for the daily collection of garbage, if in the judgment of the District Commissioners the safety and health of the District should require collections to be made with so much frequency. The Commissioners say in a letter to the first controller today that they are satisfied that they cannot secure a daily collection throughout the entire city for that amount, but are advised that for such an expenditure they could secure @ daily collection, including Sundays, in the following limits, which includes the section from which the greatest average amount of gar- bage is collected and where it is most likely to offer the greatest menace to public health and comfort: rth by south line of P street northwest, east by wost line of 6th street northwest, south by north line of B street northwest, wost by east line of 17th street, from Pennsylvania avenue to K, thence to 18th street, thence by east line of 18th street to P street northwest.” ‘The Commissioners ask his views as to whether they will be justified in placing a limitation of this character upon a daily service. cocK-s-DooDL.E-Doo.

They ail declare in the strongest language that the rooster is a nuisance, should be relegated to the country and not allowed to make morning hideous | {he with his crowing. The Commissioners seem powerless todo anything in the matter.

Adelegation from the sanitary committee of the Northeast Washington Association called upon the Commissioners this afternoon to make formal complaint of nuisance in the Vicinity of Florida avenue aud 10th and 11th streets northeast. The nuisance was created by the building of alarge sewer about three hundred feet in length, and extending from Florida avenue orthward by the side of an old ravine and this has left » small lake parallel to the sewer on the west side about 300 feet in iength and from fifteen to twenty feet wide. This lake is full of stagnant water, emitting noxious odors and is dangerous to health. They ask an immediate abatement of the nuisance, The Prettiest Baby in Washington.

It fs Done in Great Shape in Windsor to Oblige Couples From the States, From the Windsor Quill. Windsor is becoming @ veritable Gretna Green for American couples who wish to get married with neatness and dispatch. In many cases absolute secrecy is also required, and that is another specialty of the Windsor mat- rimonial noose tyer. The young and giddy read the yellow-backed noyel and become im- bued with the idea that an elopement would be the proper caper with which to start their mat- rimonial career. They come to Windsor. Then an old couple, who have each probably buried several helpmates, decide to hitch up for the remainder of their lives. They also come to Windsor. In the neighboring state of Michigan it is difficult to get married without having the fact published, but in Windsor it is different. If wish to get married on the ‘9. t.” it is nobod: business. You can do soand no one need know of it except the man from whom the license is rocured and the minister who ties the knot. ‘he marriage license man wouldn't say any- thing about it,becauve he doesn't care. He buys the blank license from the government for 3 cents and charges $2 for it when the blanks are filled in. He pockets $1.97 of cold, hard profit and says never a word. In fact, he probably never thinks of it again, but keeps his eye open for the next couple, when he gets another $2 ce-off. ‘The minister will not mention it, either, so long ax he gets a reasonable foe for his services. When a couple have eloped and wish for the paternal blewing, they never think of tele- graphing home that “Will and I were married today."” Instead, they flash over the wire, “We have been to Windsor,” and the situa- tion is explained. ‘Then the irate father grad- ually Tote bin bottled-up wrath effervesce, and wires the erring couple to come home. "They go, and everything is lovely because they were married in Windsor. Windsor ministers have a great bonanza, The foes derived from marriages form no _in- considerable portion of their incomes, The advantages of a pastorate in the city are well known and appreciated by the ministers of all the churches, and when one of them gets a chance to locate in Windsor he is considered a lucky dog. The mini year “and pickin’s,” speaking of salaries, and when « brother comes here he gets as good a walary as any other city and “weddin's.” ‘The Rev. John Gray, now of Kalamazoo, when pastor of St Andrew’s Presbyterian Chureh, probably broke all records in the marrying line. His average during the B mcd few years was 140 knots a year. which alone would yiéld an income of fully $700. One Fourth of July Mr. Gray married seven couples. e Rev. John Learoyd of the Windsor Ave- nue Methodist Church was a close second, and started almost as many on the road to “double cussedness.” His successor, the Rev. G. W. Henderson, is making a record for himself, and this year is leading the procession with an av- erageof four per week. The Rev. D. H. Hind of Sandwich marries a few, t00, running about nine a month. In order to get married in Canada every man must at least have $2, as it costs that to get the license, but then the minister would have to do his work for nothing, and they don't ke to do that. They have to do it sometimes, and have many amusing experiences in that line. The Rev. Hind tells of a Detroit lawyer who came over in a very anions state of mind. He was accompanied by a lady, and they wanted to get married. He had left his purse at home, sohe said, and didn't have cent. He bor- rowed €2 from the rector to get the license, and they were married, and to this day eS! has not seen his lawyer friend nor his $2. Mr. Hind married a Detroit couple and the groom gave him €25and sent another couple over the following week. Mr. Learoyd mar- Tied a couple, and when he was through the groom said he did not bave a cent. here were four in the party, and he made them take up a collection, whicn yielded thirty-five cents. T minister gave the bride and groom # sound lecture and let them go. The Rev. Gray married two well-known De- troit people and was given a handsome pin, “a diamond valued at $200,"and as the man for security for his fee. ' They never came back and Harry Bradley pronouneed the gem worth just about.five cents. Sometimes the ministers do not get anything. and sometimes they ee nice fat fee, but the average seems to be at “% rte clergyman of this city Not long ago was called in from his study in the evening to marry a young couple who were waiting in his parler, nt upon matrimony. The young couple ep. peared to be from an humble walk in life, but were beaming with happiness. At the conclu- sion of the ceremony there was a pause of some length. The bride looked inquiringly at the groom, and he gazed back at her with » happy Dut somewhat vague expression of confidence. ‘At last the bride stepped forward in « heet- tating manner, and, dropping an elaborate courtesy, said: = “We are—very much obliged to you, sir, and we hope that at some time we shall be able to retaliate.” Her husband looked at ber with undisguised ride in her ability to cope with a word of such Engi and elegance, and the minister bowed the couple out with as grave a face as be could call up with that remarkable wish ringing in his ears, Bird Life From the Saturday Keview. The rooks, after an absence of some years— how many we cannot really commit ourselves to say—have returned to Kensington Gardens and established » flourishing little colony of some eleven nests in the trees on the west side of the broad walk between the old Banqueting Hall and Bayswater road. It is curious that the bird population of London seems still to be undergoing a process of change, some species being largely oh the increase, while others are decreasing in numbers or have quite recently disappenred. The wood pigeons afford the most noticeable example of increase in num- bers, as they are now fully established not only iu the parks, but also in many of the squares which have trees suitable for them to build in, and they bave extended their range well within the city boundary. They may alwava be seen in Palace Yard, Westminster, and for the fourth year in succession a pair are nesting in the elm tree over the fountain at the end of Great George street. Blackbirds and thrushes, though by no means so noticeable as the pigeons, are certainly on the increase in the parks, owing, no doubt, in great measure to the fact that many inclosures planted with shrubs have been made of late years. They are far from uncommon; indeed, one morning not Jong since we saw no less than five cock blackbirds engaged ina tussle under trees near the flower walk in Kensington London. Gardens. Tits of the two species—the great | tit and the blue tit—have lately been largely on the increase in Kensington Gardena. And lastly, though this is only an occasional—or, ral , seasonal—increase, we must mention the extraordinary visitation of gulls, mostly Dlack-beaded gulis, which now tskes place every winter. Whenever the weather is these birde come up the river literally in thousands, and they have become one of the winter sights of London. ———ees.
