A Chinese Shave.

The customer seats himself erect ON stool
or bench, with the knowledge that an hour
must pass before he is released. The barber
begins operations by carefully washing the
victims face, ears, and head with very warm
water, wiping off the dripping parts with
wet towel. He then begins shaving the head,
orrather around the crown where the cue be-
gins, commencing over the right ear and
moving along until the forehead and the lower
part Of the backhead are cleaned. He next
passes to the face and afterward to the neck.
The cars are shaved and carefully brushed out
and cleaned with delicate brushes and ingen-
ious instruments. The face, neck and arms
are then washed and rubbed until tho skin
assumes healthy pink. The second part is
somewhat like tho Swedish movement cure"
The barber begins to 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 unbraided, combed and cleaned,
and again braided up and put in place. Occa-
honally, when barber desires to show great
attention to distinguished customer, no rubS
and pulls his fingers and even his toes, until
the Joints crack.

The efforts Of the Rhinelander family, OF
New York, to prove William G. Rhinelander in
sane excite good deal of comment. None Of
the testimony thus far offered by experts and
others is, in one sense conclusive, but the de-
termination to have Rhinelander placed in an
asylum, if possible, seems very firm and earD-
est. The latest step, according to state
ment by his wife, is the cutting of Of his al
lowance, or at least its suspension, so that he
shall not have money to pay counsel. Mrs.
Rhinelander stands up for her husband, any
way, and all the more as the animus against
him is developed. There is now no doubt that
for long time before the shooting Of Lawyer
Drake vigorous efforts were being made to ef-
feet a separation, Drake being the medium em-
ployed by the family. Mrs. Rhinelander has
declared as much, saying that each time she
called at brakes Office the efforts were re-
newed. Khinelander's counter-effort with a
pistol was not exactly commendable, but it cer-
tainly looks as if he had received good deal
Of provocation. As for his being really in
sane, that is very doubtful. Had he not 'gone
below his station for a wife, that question
would probably never be raised. He is little
queer, and always was but many men are
queer whose minds, nevertheless, are quite

How KisIingbury Died,

Some facts about the death of Lieut. Kis-
lingbury, of the Greedy party, have come to
tho knowledge of his brothers which have not
as yet been published. About twenty-three
days before the survivors were rescued, word
came to the dying men from the watchers that
spoar bear was seen. Kislingbury rallied his
fast failing strength and led the way with two
others following The bear was shot, and 1t
furnished food enough for the remnant of the
party to pull through. They had been living
on strips Of clothing. When Kislingbury had
brought the bear in he said to Greedy: "That
bear was sent by Providence" Kislingbury
had before this-last fall-sustainod rupture

Thirty and Odd Years Ago.

The changes that have been wrought in this

candidates for the Presidency are informed Of

mally giving his views and opinions. But in
those days distances were too great, travelling
too laborious and expensive for personal at
tendance upon the candidate. lie was notified
by letter, an answer written and the campaign
begun. Gen. Taylor was nominated by tho
Wing convention at Philadelphia, June I. 1918.
On the 10th letter was sent him at his resi-
dence, Baton Rouge, La. More than month
passed and no reply was received. At first the
delay was put down to his crotchety ways, but
as the time went on his long silence began to
wear the aspect Of an ailront. Thurlow Weed,
who had Taylor in charge, grew desperate, and
ameeting was actually held at Albany, where
tn proprioty Of Withdrawing Taylor was dis
cussed. There being no teegraphs speedy
communication was impossible, and letter after
letter had received no response. However,
nothing was done at that time and the polIti-
clans awaited developments. On July %,
nearly six weeks after the nomination, the
postmaster at Baton Rouge wrote to the Post
mastcr-General that of the forty-eight letters
sent to the Dead Letter Office that month most
Of them were for Gen. Taylor. This was be-
fore the days Of pre-payments, when postage
was ten cents. People frequently refused to
take out letters addressed to them and pay the
postage. Gen. Taylor would not take his out
OF the office. His mail expenses had become
too burdensome, he said, and he declined
longer to liquidatc. Subsequently learning
that these letters were important, Taylor agreed
to pay and they were accordingly sent back to
him. Among them was the letter notifying
him of his nomination. So, after it had lain a
month in the Baton Rouge postoilicc and slowly
Travelled to Washington and back, Gen. Tay-
lor answered by brief and unsatisfactory
cpistlc. The Whig leaders were so dissatisfied
that they made him write another, in which hc
did better. Candidates Of the present day are
almost as deliberate as he was about furnishing
their letters Of acceptance, but it iS not because
the announcement of their nomination is kick
ing about the country postofices, or held FOR
non-payment Of postage.

Women, especially those Of the upper classes,

Three Meals n Day.

An English writer gives some much-needed

custom, in its favor. When work Of any kind

intervals between taking food should not be 10
