One afternoon while Burnes and the

of incontinently firing the fresh

ODD THINGS.

A London burglar carried a razor if
his pocket whenever he went out at
night to commit a robbery, not to de-
fend himself with, but for suicide In
case he was caught. His pals knew of
this habit, but did not believe he would
ever use the razor. They were mis-
taken. Being captured after breaking
into a house, he promptly killed himself
according to promise.
A barber's congress has been held at
Berlin, at which it was decided to adopt
tie rule for all the barber shops Of
Prussia, to begin shaving on the left
cheek, applying the lather by brush or
hand at the artists option, to conduct
the operation without taking the sub
ject by the nose. and to serve and
release him without any dissertation
upon literature, art, the drama, politics,
religion, philosophy, commercial, or
other topics of which the barber-artists
in Germany know so much.
Jonathan Ames, a farmer who lived
neal Troy, n. Y, died recently. He
was an eccentric individual, and in the
heat of midsummer dressed in furs.
His wife states that they dwelt under
the same roof for a quarter of a cen
tury, and in all that time never spoke
to each other. Their silence vas caused
by a disagreement concerning a sermon.
Ames maintained that the parson said
one thing, and his wife was just as Ger.
tain he said something else. The up.
shot of the discussion was that they
vowed eternal silence toward each
other. Even while Ames was on his
deathbed the vow was not broken.
They lived on apparently good terms,
speaking to and mingling with the
neighbors.
