intone most of the service, the priests, and
bishops over against them answering anti
phonally. The music has that weird
shaking Of the voice within a range OF four
or five notes which recalls Arabian music.
Indeed, the Greeks of to. day In their
church chants and in their street ballads,
have no music which does not seem to have
been borrowed from Asia. Nothing you
see or hear at Athens Is moIe unlike Eu-
rope and America than the singing.
The service finished, the king goes out

A Terrible Scene.

John Wallace recently had terrible
experience in Marion, Indiana. He had
gone into Warmers barber shop to be
shaved. Mr.. Warner, being i'll, had, day
or two before, hired genteel looking man
representing himself to be a first class
barber from Wayne county, to
work for HIM few days The fellow
conducted himself all right until Saturday,
when he began 10 drink quite freely, he
secured some alcohol used in the shop aud
drank 1t raw. MIR. Jesse IJams. who occu-
pied the chair just before Mr.. Wallace,
noticed something very peculiar in the
mans actions, especially when he refused
TO give the change back from bill handed
him by Iiams. Wallace got into the chair,
and the fellow, after lathering his face aud
getting everything ready for operation,
opened his razor, gTasped MIR. Wallace by
the throat, and exclaimed: 81 am going
to cut your throat" Looking up, Mr..
Wallace saw that the barber was foamIng
at the mouth and an insane glare was in
his eyes SO startled was Mr.. Wallace for
few moments that he could not reply.
The maniac gave vent TO blood curdling
laugh and exclaimed: "YOu think /
won't do 1t, do your Well / shall. You
needn't look 80 scared. 1t wont hurt much.
| can do it IN minute. | shall first cut
your throat and then slit you open down
the stomach and let your bowels out. Oh,
know what they'll do with me for killing
you; but [ don't care They Will hang
me. am not afraid of death; you are. "
All the while the madman was flourish
ing his razor in close proximity to his
victims throat, and occasionally drawing
back rs if 10 strike. As soon as he
partially recovered from the first paralysis
of his fright, Wallace kept his eye steadily
upon his persecuUor, and finally, taking
advantage of an instant when his grip was
loosened on his throat, managed TO twist
quickly around and slide out of the Chair
and run for the door, but the barber was
too quick for him and got there first.
Then, with one hand on the door knob and
a razor in the other, he stood and heaped
the most horrible imprecations upon
Mallace's head because he had attempted
TO escape. Wallace offered the barber
cigar which he had In his pocket.
"What do you want me to do with the
cigar 2" SAID the barber.
"Why, smeke!" said Mr.. Wallace.
AS the madman reached for the cigar
Wallace sprang upon him and threw him
down, then turned aud ran, the negro after
him with the razor in his hand. Wallace
got away safely, finally, and the barber
ran after little boy, swearing he would
kill him. A butcher saw the negro and
pursued him, overtaking him juss before
he reached the boy. The butcher over
powered the maniac an6 the marshal drag
ged him to Jail. The negro was suffering
from deLiriunl treDlens.

Very often the hair falls out aftel sick
ness. In such cases it generally grows
gain without the aid of any hair tonic
whatever; but when il tails out from natural
causes it never grows again. The cele-
brated DR.. Bazln, who was formerly ply
sician in chief of the st. Louis Hospital at
Paris, and who is known throughout the
world as the most learned specialist for
affections of the SKIN, told me one day
that there was nothing that could make
the hair grow after the badness had come
on gradually. This believe firmly, for,
if there was anything of the kind, we
would not see 80 many New York doctors
with heads as completely destitute OF halr
as the backs of turtles. | am even per-
suaded that these gentlemen would follow
the example of those Greek heroes VINO,
under the leadership of Jason, made
voyage to Colchis to bring back the Colder
Fleece. Modern Argonauts, the doctors,
would consider themselves happy if they
could bring back from such voyage the
secret OF restoring the human fleece. l
don't think am far from the truth when |
say that during the past twenty-five years
that have prActiced the profession of hair
dresser, have made the trial upon difter-
ent bald heads of more than five hundred
different hair tonics, and | am bound to
admit that l never saw single head the
hair of winch was restored after baldnes
At the end of so many failures, am com
pletely undeceived as ID the value of all the
prenarailons, and / would not now recon-
mend any one Of them, because would be
afraid to commit the crime that is
designated by the words, obtaining
money under false pretenses." In my
pathological studies npon the hair, have
found that people who perspire u great
deal from the head are apt to get bald.
The bad habit of wearing hats indoors is
also very hurtful to the hair. In 1906,
after the famous battle of Una. in which
the Prussians were completely defeated by
Napoleon l., Baron Larrey, the celebrated
military surgeon, perceived that many of
the German prisoners were completely bald.
Surprised, he made inquiries as to the
cause of this, and he found that they owed
their badness TO the shape--as hOmely as
unhealthy-of their caps. The foul air of
their head gear, having no issue, destroyed
the vitality of the hair.

YHE DRIFTING BOAT.

We met drifting boat far oIt at sea-
Empty, without an oar, without sail
Tossed on the rolling b flows aimlessly,
Hither and thither with the shifting gale.
Once. it had been gallant little craft.
Safe anchored in the dark and stormy days
Or, with blue skies and fresh, glad winds
abaft
Bearing its living freight DER sunny bays
Now, sadly free, for no calm harbor bound,
Without purpose, or guiding hand,
Aimless. and useless, it would drift TIL found
nameless wreck upon some unknown
strand,
Alas alas the empty drifting lives
Tossed to-and-fro upon Life's stormy sea !!
The aimIess souls, that every chance wind
drives,
To drowsy ones, that rock where great
calms be.
Perchance, in ea'ly youth, some tempest
cross d
Their flying flags, and gallant sails u unfurled;
Now, with torn shroud+, aud helm, and an
caor lost
Poor. helpl, ss crafts, they drift about the
World.
Bound for no harbor, bearing no rich freight,
From every human tie too sadly free,
For whom no fond hearts pray, no watchers
wait,
The useless drift-wooi on Tines mighty
sea.
Oh Heart Oh, Heart this were fate more
back
Than ceaseless watch and fight where tenn
pests frown;
Better amid the waves and thunder rack
Doing thy besr, to struggle and so down

"GROOd q ave Mars.

While well known actress, was ln
Louisville short time ago Southern gen.
tleman, q planter of considerable years
and fortune, allowed her charms to over
come his long sustained aversion to matri
mony, and approached the fair LADY, with
proposals of marriage. The following con

your disposition; second, 1 should desire

"You must consent to my remaining on

''Umphl Well, don't think would. ="
''And you must at once cease the use of
tobacco-except in the form of cigars"
What ?" The planter started back in
his chair. looking around the hotel parlor,
and stared at her, and from his lips there
followed a prolonged whistle.
''Great gad, miss! Surely-who-Welll' -
and he again stared.

"Come, now"-he found voice TO speak

How the Ancients spent Money.

Tacitus informs us that Nero, the Roman
emperor, gave away in presents to his
friends $97, 500, 900. The dresses of Lolita
PaUlina, the rival of Agrippina, were val
ued at 81, ,664. 4S0. This did not include
her Jewels. She wore at one supper ST.
262. 500 worth of Jewels, and it was PLAIN
citizen's supper. She was worth altogether
5000, 900, 900 The luxury of PGppe, be
loved by Nero, was at least equal to that of
Lolita Pallas, the lover of AggrippIpa left
an estate in lands valued at $15, 600, 900.
M. Scaurus had villa worth $l5, 900, 900,
and this was only small portion of his
immense fortune. The villa was burned
by his slaves out of revenge for some in
jury.
The sums paid by old Greeks and Ro~
mans for works of art make the present
price appear somewhat shabby. Nicias,
an artist, refused to sell one of his pictures
to King Attalus for $4,000, choosing
rather to present it to his country as gift.
Nlclas was millionaire. For single fig
ure by Aristides, King Attalus gave $i25-
900. Muason, the tyrant of Elatus, paid
$40. 900 for a single picture by Aristides,
representing a battle of the Perslans.
Cesar was generous patron of art. He
bought of Timomachus, painter of Athens,
two figu es, one represents Ajax and the
other Media, for which he paid 800, 900.
Appelles received $40, 900 for portrait
of Alexander, which he painted on the
walls of the temple Diana, at Ephesus.
Ptolemy paid Aratus $500, 900 for some
old pictures by Melanthus and Pamhilus.
M. Agrippa paid to the people of Cyzicus
$50, 900 for two small paintings, and it was
he who built a nd bequeathed to his coun-
trymen the magnificent Therme in the
Campus Martlus, with their gardens, libra
ries and porticos-one portion OF which,
the Pantheon, still remains. Lucius Mum
mius got picture in Greece, representing
Father Bacchus, which King Attalus val
ued at $3.50, 600, but Mummius said that
the price was too small, and refused to
sell.
The picture of "Venus Anadyomene by
ApelleS, was sold for $4,000. Isocrates
received $40, 600 for one Grafton. Virgil,
for his lines on Ma illus, was rewarded by
gift of $4,000 For single dish OF
pottery the tragic actor Esophus paid
$4,000. The Emperor Vitellius ordered a
UlSQ 10 D6 uldu6 1OI ulIn 1Ok HuICu u IuT-
mace was erected in the fields outside the
city for $45, 900. The colossal statue OF
Mercury, made for the city of the Averni,
in Gaul. b, Zenodorus, cost 81, 675, 600
Nero paid $161, 900 for a carpet. Fol
the famous statue of the Dlademenos
which was bronze figure of life size rep
resenting youth trying fillet round his
head, Polycielitus received 1926, 900. And
again dropping art Tor literature, 1t is re-
lated that Tiberius presented TO Aselius
Sabinus, SIC, 900 for dialogue written be-
tween mushroom, cabbage, an oyster
and q thrush. Regarding the immense
wealth possessed by fortunes favorites In
ancient days, the mystery is what has be.
come of all this gold and silver, for the
possessions of these rich men and women
consisted chiefly of the clean metal and
precious stones.
