Astonished Barber.

Quietly entering \ barber shop, the
stranger removed his hat and coat and
taking a card from his pocket wrote on
il:
81 want to be shaved"
A barber stepping forward, read the
card, and pointing to chair, said to his
brother artist:
Deaf rs brass-ket,le and dumb as
an oyster"
The man Strengthened himself out in
the chair when his manipulation began
lathering his face
This deaf cuss has cheek like a
stone-wall," he said, when a general
laugh followed.
Sound his brain, Bob" put in an
other.
ayes, stick a pin in him and see il he
is entirely dumb said another.
The victim remaining undisturbed the
following shots were fired at him by the
delighted tonsorial artists.
''He needs shampoo, his head is
dirter than cesspool.n
"Tell him his red hair needs clipping,
before it sets his topknot on fire"
Shave him with a stool-leg, don't
spoil your razor on that stubble.'
Pull off his boots and air his 5oiled
hose
Gracious what a breath 1t smells
ike a Dutch band Of music"
"He ought to rent that nose for To-
connective headlight" etc, etc, etc.
While all these complimentary allu-
sions were flying about him, the opera
ton Of shaving was finished, and the
man arose, put on bis coat, and turning
to the astonisned barber, said:
How much for the shave and COM
pliments''
"l-I-T-I," gasped the astonished
man. "Oh, nothing nothing, call
again. excuse as the stranger left
the shop, the discomhtcd BARRIERS owore

Surprised.

Hearing a story gravely told about a
clam that crawled up a wall, one might
reasonably expect that the man who
told it had been putting something into
his mouth TO the damage of his brains;
but the following from Fall River cor
respondent carries its explanation with
it. 1t seems that gentleman in Provi-
dence, happened TO be called into his Gel
lar late one night.
The wind was blowing almost gale,
the rain poured down in torrents, and
the night was one to cause feeling of
''uncertainty' in the heart of the
bravest.
The gentleman in question never in
dulges in intoxicating liquors, and there
is no reason TO suppose that his nerves
were unusually disturbed. He is very
fond Of clans, however, and had peck
of the shell-lish in the cellar, which were
to be cooked the next day.
As he descended the stairs, shading
the lamp with his hand to shield it from
the draught, he saw the bucket of clans
nj the foot Of the stairs, Then he was
amazed to see what appeared to be a
small white clam move gradually from
the bucket make its way quickly across
the cellar floor, and mount the wall at
the further side of the cellar to dis
lance of three feet from the floor.
Never having seen clam walk be-
fore, the gentleman was seriously dis
turbed. He placed the lamp in con-
yenient position, took up a piece of bar
rel-hoOp as means of offence, and
moved quickly and softly across the eel
lar floor.
The white object proved to be indeed
a clam, but it had used other means Of
lOcomotion than its own. An indiscreet
mouse had walked over the bucket and
this ambitious clam had fastened its
nipperS on the mouSe's tail The mouse,
frightened, had started for his hole in
the wall, but failed to get into it on ac-
count of the shell-tish attachment to his
tail. Of course the gentleman relieved
the mouse Of his encumbrance-an
was probably somewhat relieved him
self.

Flnwnrs and Insects.

All admire the colors and forms Of
flowers, but these are only part of their
endless attractions. Close observers
have found out many curious things
which hasty lockers never see. That
close questioner of nature, Charles OAR
win. found that insects were attracted
to flowers by their colors, and that diff
ferent insects choose different colors.
He cut the snowy petals of some of the
flowers in clumps in the garden, and
found that bees never went near those,
though very busy with the others. Sir
John Lubbock put honey in glass over
coiored papers, and found that bees
readily Disseminated and always went
TO the blue, as t-ey do in the flowers.
Muller noticed that each kind OF butter
fy visited only It's own favorite color OF
Lantana. Grant Allen shows that as
nearly all colored flowers depend upon
insects TO brush the pollen on the stigma
and to cause them TO produce seed, that
their preference for tho intensest color
of their choice tends TO the production
of the most from them, and so to tho
fuller development OF color. He shows
too, that at first tho only color was yell
low, as seen in the seed parts OF nearly
all flowers still, and that white, pink,
red, purple and blue were developed in
succession. Many flowers still open
with yellow or pink tinge. and grad
ually change through this series TO some
shade Of red, or finally, blue. Blue and
purple are most common in complicate
corollas which only bees and butterflies
penetrate easily; moths only see white
flowers. .-- Vicks Floral Guide

1t appears from experiments that
heaping teaspoonful of Paris green to
twelve quarts of water is just as certain
to destroy the potato beetle as larger
quantityi but one pound of the poison
mixed with 100 pounds of plaster may
be applied by the hand, as it is proved
by repeated tests that no bad results
will follow taking it in the bare hand
when mixed in these proportions. The
plaster is worth to the crop all the labor

Starting Out.

In setting up home for two, be sat-
isfied to commence on small scale, 1t
is too common for young housekeepers
to begin where their mothers ended.
Buy all that is necessary to work skill
fully with; adorn your home with all
that will render it comfortable. Do not
look at richer homes and covet their
costly furniture. If secret dissatisfac-
ton is to spring up, 90 step farther,
visit the homes of the suffering poor;
contrast your own neatly furnished
rooms with their cheerless apartments.
You will then be prepared to meet your
husband with grateful heart, and be
ready to appreciate the toll and self-de-
NAL which he has endured in the buSi-
ness world to surround you with the de-
lights Of home, and you will cooperate
cheerfully with him in so arranging ex-
penses that his mind will not be con-
stantly harrassed lest his family eXpend-
itures may encroach upon public pay
ments. Be independent; housekeeper
never needed greater moral courage
than she does now to resist the AFRO
gance OF fashion. Do not let the AS
and BIS decide what you shall have,
neither let them hold the strings of your
purse. You know best what you can
and ought TO afford. 1t matters little
what people think, provided you are
true to yourself, to right and duty, and
keep your expenses within your means.
Then you may be both independent and
happy.

A Readers CInmnlaint.

I have never wished that | had been

esque one--and | think it has its pictur-
esque aspects-is without doubt the
most comfortable to live in, take it on
the whole, the world has yet known.
The only objection to living in the
present time that know of is the in
creased quantity of things one must or
would like to know Eighteenth-cen-
fury people didn't have to read Lecky's
history of their times in four volumes,
or q hundred thousand other books it
now seems obligatory upon all cultivat-
ed persons to acquaint themselves with.
Nowadays one is required to read a
small library every year, if one would
have even a smattering Of knowledge
on the various subjects that invite an in
teligent mans interest 1t is hard to
resign ones self toignorance of so many
interesting matters, and yet that seems
what one is driven to. One finds that
the first thing to learn is chow much
need not be known,n which is, perhaps,
a sort Of sour grapes wisdom, but APP
parently the only wisdom attainable. -

the lower rooms of the white house, or
not, but if he did, he ought either to be

or else pension Of 100000 u year

Punch and Puck, another such funny

quently ascribed to local
surroundings, and there is
very little question, but this
opinion is substantiated by
facts. Malaria does not nee
essarily mean chills and
fever while these troubles
usually accompany it. 1t
often affects the sufferer with
general lassitude, accom-
panied by loss Of appetite,
sleeplessness, a tired feeling
and a high fever, the per-
son afflicted growing weak
er and weaker, loses flesh
day after day, until he be-
comes a mere skeleton, a
shadow of his former self.
Malaria once having laid It's
hold upon the human frame, the
door OF the system is thrown open
TO nervous diseases. The body
weak and enfeebed absorbs no
nourshment, but subsisting upon
ITSELF the digestive organs no
longer perform their functions;
the liver becomes torpid, and other
organs failing to do their routine
work, speedily become disordered,
and dissolution and death are apt
