An itinerant doctor took possession of the public square in Charleston, N. H., a few evenings since, and proceed- ed to transact :- of land oflice dime‘nsions while it last- ed. But, says the Boston Globe, he closed up early. Eggs were flying at him from all di- rections, and he was a sorry looking sight when he reached the friendly shelter of the hotel. He had imposed upon the confidence of the unsophisticated, and the shower of eggs was their way of expressing their righteous indignation. The doctor’s modus operandi was something like this: —He had a salve that was unequalled and unapproach- able in its virtues; he wished to adver- tise it, and would for ten cents give a sample of the salve and a check, on the presentation of which later he Would give a present. The present end of it caught many who were old enough to know better, and several children, but great was their surprise, when on presenting their checks they were handed fifteen cents as a present. This was making money very fast. Each purchaser‘ had realized fifty per cent on his investment. The doctor had article No. 2 to advertise, and would also give a present, to every purchaser who would pay twenty-five cents for a sample. Those who had bought one package of No. 1 took two and three of article No. 2, and were given checks as in the previous instance. Of course, they thought this man who gave them fif~ teen cents for ten would certainly give them at least thirty-five for twenty- five. But he didn’t. He probably thought he had gone the limit, and when the speculators presented their checks they were given a bit of taffy candy by the smiling doctor, who said: “I told you I would give you a present, and I have done .so,” and while he continued to give them the laugh they began to see the joke. Several of those on the outside of the crowd got their heads together. and then went to a nearby provision store and invested all the money they had in eggs, and the less modern they were the more desirable for their pur- pose. When they returned the voluble doc- tor was telling his audience not to feel bad over the matter. 'He had, he said, traveled a great deal, and had got it in the neck himself, and never com- plained. _Well, just then he got it in the neck and in the back and on the head and in several other places. There was a perfect shower of eggs. The doctor’s smile vanished, and he did not stand upon the order of going, but got quickly. He made $5 or $6, but he will need a new suit of clothes. OLDEST SWITCHMAN IN AMERICA. Patrick Moloney, 97, Has Tended an Erie Switch Over Fifty Years. By the side of a tiny switch shed near the New York and Lake Erie Railroad freight depot sits every day Patrick Moloncy, the oldest railroad switch tender in the world. For more than half a century he has moved in and out of that box setting and shift- ing the switches for the thousand en- gines that pass and repass him every day. In 1899 Patrick Moloney will be 100 years old. He was born with the cen- tury, he is now ninety seven and “able to turn a switch with the best of them,” as he proudly says. In the bent figure of this old fellow standing sta- tionary and immovable, amid the changes of life one may'see epitomized the history of fifty-six years. In that time he has seen the New York and Lake Erie road develop from a little double-track road, to the great system it now is; he has seen presidents, sec- retaries and boards come and go and live their day and die and be forgotten ——but he has remained; he has seen Jersey City grow from a little hamlet with six houses to the bustling, thriv- ing city of to-day. “You wonder why it is that I haven’t lost my brains and that I can turn a switch, old as I am,” he says. “The surest cut to old age that I know of is to take life as one finds it, and don’t be ambitious, don’t be always trying to get ahead in the race. If I had cared to be anything else than a switchman I wouldn't be alive and hearty to-day and likely to see a hundred years be- fore I dic. I began as a switchman. I was content to be the best switchman on the road—that’s what they used to call hie—and, let others do the striv- ing‘and pushing and crowding—New York Journal. ‘v.- w “'omen as Detectives. “Women do not make good detec- tives,” recently remarked the superin« tendent of one of the largest detective agencies in this country. “Women who are willing to embark in our line of work are unreliable, sentimental, emotional, and as dangerous to us as they are to others. I once paid a. girl several hundred dollars for shadowing a notorious criminal whom we wanted to land. She followed him like his shadow for three months, and I pre- sume she is doing it yet, for at the end -of that time they got married and skipped over to Enflland." number of brakemen, taking off one . elect Cooke, his friends aflifirm ,1. business which was' ' ‘s MEIXCO’S NEW WOMAN. She Equals a Man in Her Capabilities as R Station Agent. A Mexican woman station agent is one of the curiosities of travel on the road from Puebla. to Oaxaca. Her name is Concha Blanca. Her post of duty is at Etla, the place to which the Indians flock from the mountains for a hundred miles around for their an- nual feasts, and also the shipping point for the big haciendas in the fer- tile valleys among these same moun- tains. When the train stops at Etla in the dark, :1. young woman in white, for Senorita Concha dresses to match her surname, stands in the door of the express cur, lantern in hand, checking the packages on the big receipt book. TVhen the freight trains stop, she flits in and out of the long line of cars tell- ing the brakeman what to take and what to leave. She is' from one end of the train to the other, seeing that no mistakes are made. This bareheaded girl in awhite dress is full of business. She wastes no time on empty words. The trainmen respect her. She does everything about the station but handle the bag— gage. There are plenty of stout Mexi- cans of the other sex hanging around for that work. Concha Blanca is so well esteemed by the management of the road that sheyhas been twice pro- moted, until now she has one of the most important stations under her care. She does all of the telegraphing, besides attending to the ticket selling, and to the receiving and shipping of freight. It was her knowledge of telegraph- ing that got the young woman her first recognition. Her father and two brothers were operators. to use the key. A station was given to her where there was not much to do besides the telegraphing. Her apti- tude for railroad work attracted the at- tention of General Manager Morcom, and the promotions followed. Concha Blanca lives at the station. Her mother keeps the house for her, and a younger sister sits at the telegraph ta- ble learning the vocation of the new woman in Mexico. The conductors have got in the way of pointing out to travellers Senorita Concha along with the ruins of the ancient city on the mountain top, the site where the battle of Tehuacan was fought, the hieroglyphics ,on the cliff at the en- trance to Rib Salado Canyon, and Other objects of interest. And the Mexican woman agent with her hon- est brown eyes and mass of wavy hair 'carelessly knotted, moving up and down the side of the train with quick, determined step, loses nothing in in- terest by comparison with the other Ittrange things. DYtSPEPSIA PROOF. The Eskimo’s Stomach is Never Troubled With Indigestion. Much is said about American dyspep- sia, but there=is one native race of. America that is certainly not greatly troubled by the modern curse. The 'sturdy little Eskimos defy 'all the laws The Eskimo," of hygiene and? thrive. like the ordinary dweller of America, cats until he is satisfied; but ithere'is the difference that he never is satisfied while a shred of the feast remains un- consumed. His capacity is limited by the supply, and by that only. He cannot make an mistake about the manner of cooking his food—for, 11s a rule, he does not cook it—nor, so far as the blubber or fat ' of the Arctic animal is concerned, about his method of eating it, for he simply does not eat it. He cuts it into long strips an inch thick, and then lowers the strips down his throat as one might lower a rope into the well. And after all that he does not sufiYer from indigestion. He can make a good meal of the flesh and skin of the wal- rus, provision so hard and gritty that in cutting up the animal the knife must be continually sharpened. The teeth of the little Eskimo child will meet in a bit of walrus skin as the teeth of an American child would meet in the flesh of an apple. And that when the hide of the walrus is from half an inch to an inch in thick- ness, and bears considerable resem- blance to the skin of an elephant. The Eskimo child will bite it and digest it too, and never know what dyspepsia means. ' , A CHINESE DENTIST. The Poor Celestial’s Distrust of American Dentistry. Into Chinatown, to ‘wit. Mott street and vicinity, there has just come the first ‘Chinese dentist known in New York. Chinamen have toothache and the other miseries of bad teeth quite as frequently as other people, but they have a. nameless dread of American dentists, and for that reason, and be- cause they distrust their ability to tell in English'just what is their particular dental trouble, they have, until the re- cent advent of their professional Coun- trymun, borne their woes without ef- fort to relieve them. This long-felt want in New York Chinese circles was known to Chown King How, who lived in San Francisco, - so he came here to supply it and is, doing a. fine tooth—pulling business. His oflice is in Doyers street. It is a dingy little shop, divided across the middle by a curtain of cheap red cloth, but the yells and groans of misery which come from behind it when the almond-eyed dentist is at work are just as genuine and hearty as any to be heard in the most luxurious “dental parlors” uptown. for pulling teeth and has made so much money that he has been able to buy a set of American instruments, of' which he is veiy proud. ——New York' Iournal. “So you went wheeling yesterday.
