A Chinese Shave.

The customer seats himself erect on
4 stool or bench, with the knowledge
that an hour must pass before he is re-
leased. The barber begins operations
by carefully washing the victims face,
cars. and head with very warm water,
wiping of the dripping parts with 4
wet towel. He then begins shaving
the head, or rather around the crown
where the cue begins, commencing
over the right ear and moving along
until the forehead and the lower part
of the backhead are olsaned. He next
passes to the face and afterwafd 10 the
neck. The ears are shaved and care
fully brushed ont and cleaned with
delicate brushes and ingenious instru-
ments. The face, neck and arms are
then washed and rubbed until the skin
assumes a healthy pink. The second
part is somewhat like the Swedish
movement cure" The barber begins
10 turn and manipulate the head and
neck until every cord and muscle has
been stretched, pinched and pulled.
The shoulders, arms and back are also
scientifically pounded and pulled until
the victim expresses desire to have
the manipulating stop. The cue is then
unbranded. comhei and cleaned, and
again braided up and put in place.
Occasionally, when 4 barber desires 10
show oreat attention 10 distinguished
cCsiop!er, he rchs and pulls his fingers,
and even his toes. until the joints
crack.

Important and Wonderful. If True,

1.-THE draw plates, by means of which
these fine wires are made, are sap
phires and rubies. You may fancy for
yourselves how extremely delicate
must be the work OF making holes of
such exceeding smallness to accurate
gauge, too, in such very hard stones.
But, delicate rs is the work of boring
the holes, there is something still more
delicate in the processes that produce
such fine wire as this. That something
is the filing of a long point on the wire
to enable the poking of the end of it
through the draw plates so it can be
caught by the nippers, Imagine your
self filing long. tapering point on the

The Car Conductors Little Extra

As the shrill whistle blown by con-
ductor on street car on one of ;he
BROOKLYN lines sounded last evening
and the car was brought to standstili
on the outskirts of the city. a man in
the smokers department tried in vain
TO stand up. The conductor nimbly
fastened to his relief and tenderly
lifted him to standing posture. The
passenger was intoxicated, but not
helplessly So The conductor assisted
him to the step and then to the ground,
took hold of his shoulders from behind
and faced him around toward a street
crossing the car track. and said, re-
spectfully:
That's your way, sir. "
Winking to another passenger the
conductor then pulled a half dollar
from his vest pocket and held it up.
"The old duffer gave it to me at the
ferry and told me to keep the change.
l know where he lives and often take
care of him. He's an old seafaring
man, retired on his money, and he
never goes home sober. I'm always
glad to see him get on. There are
other such cases. Generally l get
quarter, with the fare to come out of it.
1t wouldn't be allowed by the presi-
dent of the road if he knew it, but the
conductor earns the extra money all
the same. The tipplers who are SO
generous with their money know that
they are pile of trouble to us, and
that's the reason they contribute. Did
you ever try to wake up a drunken
man after he got into his first nap?
You have to fight with 'em to get 'em
to rouse up. and then it's like handling
load OF pig iron to get 'em out of the
car. That old chap is one of the good
natured ones. wonder how he is nav
igating?"-NeW York San.

An Old Enemy.

Macpherson, ar eminent cholera
historian, says that cholera is one of
the most ancient diseases of which dis
tinct description exist, and that there
are few disorders respecting which
such an uninterrupted chain of evil
dence has been preserved.
Sporadic, or spasmodic, cholera pre-
vailed in the time of Hippocrates (B.
c. 460), of which he gives descrip-
ton, showing all the characteristics of
the disease at the present time.
Avurveda, of Sucruta, in Sanscrit,
describes fatal disease called visu-
chika, embracing all of the striking
symptoms of the cholera of the present
day.
In A. d. I, CELSIUS gives a full ac-
count of the disease at that time, as,
also, Galen in A. d., 1871; Alexander,
of Trallas. AGO; Paulus Egureta, 700;
Rhazes, of Bagdad, 900; Arisenna, in
1000. and we find history of its pre-
valence down to the present date.
The birthplace of cholera is admitted
by all cholera historians to be in the
delta of the Gauges, spreading thence
over the globe through the medium of
the religious and commercial gather
ings. CHICAGO Inter- Ocgu71

A Story OF the Earthquake.

An amusing incident, which is much
laughed at, was the panic into which a
gentleman guest of one of tho hotels
was thrown. He was seated at table
near an open window with his wife
and children. The shock had scarcely
made itself felt before he was on his
feet. pale as ghost. His tumbler fell
over on his plate, and the chandeliers
above his head swayed and rocked and
jingled. Short as the shock of the
earthquake was. its rumbling had not
yet died away before he had jumped
out of the window. He was not
injured, the distance to the ground
being only a few feet. Fifteen minutes
afterward he made his appearance,
and when asked why he had jumped
from out of the window. leaving his
wife and children behind, he cooliy re-
marked: We'll, you see. I thought l
was going to be killed anyhow. and l
didn't want all the family killed at
once, SO l left my wife to care for the
children. "-Loag Branch Cor. Ball.

One sultry night, in Indiana, l sat
busily writing upstairs close to an open
window. My lamp, placed upon my
desk, attracted countless numbers of
the insect world that come out to see
their friends only after dark; there was
a constant buzz around the lamp, and
many scorched victim, falling on its
back, vainly kicked its little legs in
air.
Suddenly clear low whistle sounded
from the window sound somewhat
like the sound made when boy blows
into the orilice of a trunk-key. Startled
for q moment, | turned my chair and
beheld on the window sill little tree
frog gravely looking ut me. His skin
of an exquisite pale apple-green color
-shone in the lamp-light. Fearful
that | might brighten him away, l sat
motionless in the chair, watching him
intently. Presently he gave another
little whistle, as clear and sharp as
bird note. He was evidently making
up his mind that was to be trusted Ga
confidence not misplaced), and soon
he gave an easy spring and was on the
desk before me. l hardly dared to
breathe. lest he should be alarmed. He
looked at me carefully for few min
utes; and then, hopping under the
lamp, he began a slaughter of the insect
creation, such as l had never before
witnessed. He captured in q flash
near him, declining to touch the dead
ones that had cremated themselves.
After half an hours enjoyment of
this kind, my apple-green friend hop
ped rather lazily across the desk, re-
peated the whistle with which he had
entered-as if to say good highland
went out into the dark. / proceeded
with my work and soon forgot my Wis
itor. But judge my surprise when on
the next night he again appeared,
again signalled his coming with his
musical cry, and again took up his po-
sition under my lamp.
For nearly three weeks did my small
friend visit me nightly. and he and l
became great friends. House flies were
his special delicacy. Steaithily crawl
ing up the painted wall. clinging to the
smooth surface with the little disks or
suckers on his feet, he would draw
close up 10 his body first one leg then
the other, and when within proper dis
