Wemas's Lore for the Bea"fifai
A woman went into n BARRIERS shop
on q street, some weeks ago, and
wanted to know how much it would
cost to dye mans hair and mustache.
The price was named, and she then
asked the barber to get his dye and
follow her.
"Why can't the man come here9''
asked the barber.
"He's Dead" replied the woman,
"and the last thing he said when he
was passing away, was: Sally, fix
me up pretty for the funeral His
hair curled beautifully, but it was a
little gray. 1t won't look well to see
woman crying round a coffin with an
old gray.bearded man in it. So !
want him fixed up a little. He was
always beauty when he had his hair
dyed. l know I'd want mine fixed
that way if l was gray and dead"
The barber dyed the dead mans
hair in the highest style of the art,
and the widow remarked, when all
was over, that she was the loveliesl
corpse ever buried on the Comstock.

Marble ia N l;mesto,a ,h., h.s h


Marble is limestone that has be-
come crystallized and hardened by
heat so as to be capable of receiving a
high polish. The action of the heat on
ordinary limestone is seen wherever
such strata have come in close proxim-
ity to granite, the heat from which,
when in a motion state, having con-
verted the limestone into chrystalline
marble. The various colors of the mar
bles are due to the admixture of the
oxides Of metals, iron giving the red
and brown tints, copper the green, and
manganese the black.

Our Minister to the Court of st.
James, in the year 1917, wrote con-
corning the London press as follows:
II have been told that some of them
yield a profit of $4,000 per annum.
The profits Of the Times are said to
have exceeded $4,000 per annum.
The cost of daily paper to regular
subscriber is about f10 sterling; they
are circulated by agents at penny
an hour in London. When a few
days old, they are sent to provincial
towrs, and through the country at a
reduced rate" What Englishmen
now say of our papers, the Minister
said Of those of London: EVERY
thing goes into the newspapers. In
other countries, matter Of n public ma
ture may be seen in them, here in adj
dition you see perpetually the con-
Germs of individuals. Does a p.ivate
gentleman come to town, you hear it
in the newspapers; does he build a
house or buy an estate, they give the
information; does he entertain his
friends, you have all their names next
day in type; is the drapery of a lady's
drawing-room changed from red and
gold to white satin and silver, the fact
is publicly announced. So of a thous-
and other things. The first burst of
it all upon Madame de Stael led her
to remark that the English had real
lied the fable of living with window
in their bosoms."

yspsssse Ladies' Bathing fn PubiE

Japasese Ladies' BATHING fn Public
As we were about TO leave, a lady
Of elegant attire and attended by a
female servant bearing her toilet ap-
paratus, and another with luxuries of
the bath, entered. Our new arrival,
after giving 0me directions, with the
assistance Of her maid, began to ar.
range herself for the bath. With
her maid she neatly folded and laid
away on cloth in clean place, each
particle of her apparel as it was re-
moved. First the silken robe, then the
flowing gownlike robe Of purple, then
the neither garments of white, until
she reached natures own, says the
Phila adelphia Times. As gently as a
zephyr playing upon the foliage of the
trees, she stepped along toward the
water. Her beautifully rounded
form and poetry of motion would
have been worthy Of the sculptor's
chisel. A beautifully rounded ankle,
and a pretty foot, vaguely visible be-
tween the laminated folds of dozen
skirts, would set the whole communi-
ty agog at home; while whole form,
nude as nature AID more beautiful
than an angel. would not so much as
attract a passing glance in Japan.

Once upon time, in the dark ages
Of the ninteenth century, there lived
gentleman who held n commission
in the army.
CHATTER II.
But he had serious scruples rs TO
whether Il was right or wrong to kill
his fellow creatures at the bidding Of
sthers, or in fact, whether il was
not q crime TO kill his fellow men at
all.
CHATTER III.
He decided that Il was wrong, es-
pecially the glitter and tinsel thrown
about the murderous profession; so he
sold his commission and entered the
church, thinking that, as he was an
intelligent man, and not mere ma
chine, he might do more good 10 hui
manity in that line than in the other
line.
CHAPTER Nv.
One day, discoursine to a rustic
congregation on the folly Of using pro-
fame language. he told them that he
himself was once guilty Of the same
folly, and addicted to the same vice,
but that he had completely conquered
the habit.
CHATTER v.
A flying insect, hearing the boast,
winked his eye at the congregation,
and thought. "lll put him to the
test" So. making circuit around
the gsn,leman's head, he lit upon his
nose.
"Sccl" said the reverend gentleman;
"here is an illustration. At one time
I should have sworn awfully at this
look now Raising his hand
he said gently. "Go away, little fly,
90 ossay" But the fly only tickled
his nose the more.
The reverend gentleman, raising
his hand with some vehemence, made

cessful. opened 1t to throw the insect
from him. when in extreme disgust,
he exclaimed, "why. d-n it. it's u
