There) Many people in America claim descent ronl the pilgrim fathers. There niiht be a very considerable number, if we come to thiuk of it For instance, let ns assume the number of married peo ple among the first hundred who sur vived the first winter as SO couples. We will allow them three children apiece. We will give to each of these children two a large allowance, it la true, Tbou we have for each married cooplo, for the first generation, 8 descendants; for the second, 6; for the third, 13; for the fourth, 24; for the fifth, 48; for the sixth, 96; for the seventh, 193; for the eighth, 884; for the ninth and the pres ent generation, 7C8, and for the orig inal 30 married couples, 10,300. So that the living desceudauts of the May flower pilgrims can hardly be more than boot 15,000. Out of these a great many have probably ckan forgotten their de scent. Probably there are not anything like 10,000. If I were an American, I should cor- tainlv like to be one of that 10,000. Not that I feel the least attraction to a narrow ana run a no religion, nni De cause the pilgrim fathers made so fierce a fight for existence and a place wbere they could think aa they pleased aud allow no one else to thiuk aa be might please. Ancestry in this country at least, ia chiefly a matter of selection. The people who keep np their geneal ogies drop out aa they go along num berless branches. People who wish to recover their genealogies have got to "hitch on" at one of the dropped branches. Every marriage in a geneal ogy ia a kind of junction, wbere many lines may meet Now, the business of the genealogist is to look np all the jono tions, to follow up each one and to choose the line which offers the mot desirable alliances. Some years ago an ingenious gentleman offered to find roy al descent for any one for 70 down. He did it, too, quite honestly. Ho said that if you could only get back 100 years or so it was perfectly easy to con nect with Edward I or Edward IIL Sir Walter Besant in London Queen. Brok th BplL Up to the time of Cleveland's election it was a popular superstition with poli ticians that no candidate whose name began with the letter C could be elected to the presidency. The idea arose from the fact that no man whose surname presented this peculiarity, no matter how strong he was witb the people, had ever been successful at tbe polls. Tlicro were two Clintons, Georgo aud DeWitt, William H. Crawford, Henry Clay, Lewis Cass and a number of others, who, though their prospucts seemed bright indeed, met with a defeat when , it cam9 to the tegt gcveral of the C's, George Clinton and Henry Clay, for in stance, were strong candidates several times, but never could "make the riffle."

The pollceimiu who maintains life and order nt tlio iiiei iing of two down towu streets n nt-t lie pnssi'MWHl of con siderable judgment. Ho must kuow wheu to inftke a hole in the wall, so to speak, throi:;h the iiiiins of vehicles and let a portiou of the Purging humanity tio through. He must know how to o neveral things at ouoo to at the tame time chat ploiumutly with a lady irieud of his, tell a woman from Uie suburbs where the streets she's on is and pull a couple of old Reutleinen from the juwa of cable cars, and, what ia more surprising, most of the down towu force ran do this, aud, what ia truly aa touishing, nearly all do it iu a gentle ttiauly manner aud keep their tempera well. It is not infrequently that an officer is found who can do all this and more too. At olio of tho most prominent cross streets there is a policeman who is a close second to tho caliph that decided the ownership of au infant iu his owu highly original way. Among umuy in stances where his acumen has played a particular part is one that hap!encd a day or so ago. It concerned a bicycle. The latter was left by its rider aguiiibt tho curb. A few minutes later a young muu approached it The policeman in question hud not seen tho owner get off tho machine, but ho thought tho new comer looked a triflo suspicions. Tbe chain and sprocket wheel of the bicycle had been secured together by a padlock. When the young man iu question began to carry the wheel off insteud of unlock ing it he felt it was about time to act "Do you owu that bicycle?" bo said to the young man." "Yes," was the reply. "Whore's your key, thou?" was bis next "I've lost it" That settled it "Say, now," contiuued the police man, "will you give me your numo aud address?" The young man seemingly did not want to maki any trouble. He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Why, yes, if you want it" "Aud now," contiuued the police man, after he had it, "you know the case looks strange, and yon kuow we have so many bikes lost, would you mind waitiug 15 minutes to see if any one else should come after that w heel?" "Xo, I guess nut," said the young man. Theu he leaned buck on a railing and began to wait After ho had been there three cr fonr minutes the police man said : " Well, I gucM it's all right You can go." And then, turning to a bystander, be remarked, "You can bet your next mouth's pay he wouldn't bave stood there if it wasn't bis." Chicago Times-Herald. BRAINS E 5UAL TO COURAGE. Tna Cat Rvnad, bat tha Stool Woman Waa Mot KaUaOed. It was a damp day. but tbe crowd stood and watched the thick cat as it mewed plaintively and clung to the trailing vine three stories above the street in front of a four story brown stone dwelling. A long wire supported the viue, nearly reaching tho roof. Tbe cat, in a sportive mood evidently, hud climbed the luig viue and at tho third story stopped, as if fright had paralyzed further efforts. Every minute it mewed, and its appeal for help collected a crowd. A largo woman bald : "Why dou't some cue climb up there and release that cat?" "Suppose you try it, madam, " chirped a dapper little man, who looked npou the uttuir as a joke. "Well, if I had your small heft I would climb that vine. Men never do anything dangerous theso days." "Oh, yes, they do, uiuduml They catch cold, driuk too much and stay out lute ut their lodges. " She gave the little man a look and ejaculuted: "You think you uro smart, don't you? You can tulk, but you cuu't rescue even a cat." "You do uie wrong. Watch mo rescue that cut even ut the peril of being in sulted. Do not be frightened. I go, but I will return. " He ran across the street as tbe large woman sbonted, "He is go ing to climb I" He rang the doorbell of the house, and when the servant girl appeared he pointed to the cat above. The door closed, and a few minutes later a window in the third story opened, and the girl, reaching her arm out, caught tbe cat aud took it iu. The crowd cheered, aud the duppor inun bowed, but tbe large woman said con temptuously : Men have no courage, iney get wo men to rescue cats." New York Com mercial Ciefol Books. If a scholar has little money for books, he should expend it mostly on works of reference., aud so get a duily return for his output. So seems to have thought a young man of whom we re cently heard, who, when asked by a canvasser to purchaso an encyclopedia, said be had one. "Which one is it?" inquired tbe can vasser. The yonng man conld not remember. Neither could he tell who published it, but it was a fine work, in many large volumes. "Do you ever use thorn?" asked the agent "Certainly almost every day." "In what lino?" "Oh, I press my trousers with them. They are splendid for that. " Rambler. A Fort ana For Flowen.
