: Stocks : In stocks the news of prac-
teal settlement OF the long-existing
troubles between the leading coal
roads was somewhat vague, and, ex-
cept among insiders, was treated as a
device to sell stocks. This theory was
openly advocated during consider
able portion of the day. Hence, the
market, which opened strong for the
coal stocks, soon became decidedly
weak, and, with only occasional in
terruptions, continued weak and de-
clining all day. The carly weakness
in the general list was due to unfavor-
able reports regarding the strike in
the Southwest, and this matter is
daily assuming increased proportions
IN the minds Of operators. The news
of the day was all Of an adverse char
aeter, and materially aided in the de
cline that took place. The opening
prices generally were about the best
aof the day, and closing prices for the
coal stocks were the lowest of the
day, and for the rest OF the list gem

His Novel Scheme for Forcing the Payment
of Debt5.
A district bill collector has devised a
new way of collecting debts from the
impecunious members of the foreign Ie-
cations who have sought protection be-
hind the laws which prevent their being
prosecuted for debt. The bill collector
has had a large envelope made of the
coarsest and most vulgar tinted paper.
Upon this envelope he has had printed,
from a ragged wood cut, badly drawn
design of starved chicken, Just emerg-
ing from shell, chasing fat fly, which
is down well toward the horizon of the
picture is painted: 'If you can't catch
John Blank, Constable and Bill Col
lectOr. He pursues the foreigner who
win not pay with these envelopes. He
orders them sent in to these distinguished
representatives of the outside nations at
all times and upon all occasions. A
young foreigner may be calling upon
some heiTess whom he is anxious to en-
slave when in viii come one of these
terrible envelopes upon q waiter handed
over by a grinning servant. ANY young
diplomatic who receives one or two Of
these envelopes at the house where he
may happen to lodge is generally nOti-
fed that he had better change his quar-
ters. The result is that John Blank,
Constable and Bill Collector, has had a
decided success in making the young
foreigners pay bills where, in the past
they have ignored the most strenuous
demands for payment presented in ordi-
nary fashion, Wdsbi31gtOl1 Capital.

How He ManIpuhtes Ills Razors, TWeezers
and scraPers.
One of the most important person
ages in Mott street, New York is Lee
All, the Chinese barber Unlike his
American colleagues, he does the larger
part of his business In the stores or res
licences Of his customers. The chair is
a low three-legged stool, on which the
customer sits bolt upright. Coat,
waistcoat, necktie and collar are re-
moved, and common long cloth put
around the neck. The face and throat
are washed with perfumed water and
dried with a soft towel, any remaining
moisture being removed By a vigorous
tanning. The shaving that follows re-
sombles our own styles, except that
almost no lather is used. After going
over the face and throat, Lee shaves
the back Of the neck ana the temples,
and if the eyebrows are irregular cuts
away enough hairs TO produce the SYM
metry desired. The second part Of the
operation is what he prides himself
upon. The razor is dried and put away;
from his kit he produces two small
ear razors, callipers, tweezers, scrap
ers and spOnges, and with these pro-
CtEAAE VI GAAADGAAlNAA. hllb GhAnf III AAAHH
shaves off the down on the outside, and
then with a deXtrOus sweep Of the
wrist the hair on the inside Of the ear.
The blade Of this ear razor is about as
large as a matebs and is concaved al
most into a crescent. The sensation is
pleasant rather than otherwise. With
his other Instruments he rubs and pol
ishes the ear until its color is bright
pink. The third part Of the job is a
Swedish movement cure on ? small
scale. The muscles Of the face, scalp
and throat are kneaded,, pinched and

THE HUSBAND oETHRoNED.

was the monarch OF a realm,
Where all obey ed my sway.
Until this young usurper came
And took my crown away.
He is a despOt; his desire
OF power naught can cloy.
Who is this tyrant, do you ask2
He is our baby boy.
Ny mothers, sisters, brothers, all
OF old looked up to me,
Yet before this new-crowned king
Am nonentity.
For now they pay their court to him;
My empire melts away.
''The King is dead Long live the Kingl"
Methinlxs L hear tn IN say.
Ny wife, who once spoke English well,
And used to talk with me
Quite sensibly, speaks gibberish-
The tongue of infancy;
This uncOuth language she insists
The baby understands;
But / can not quite comprehend
How pdtticS can mean hands.
Although this tyrAnnOus youth has made
His father abdicate,
Yet i, as strange as it may seem,
With grace accept my fate;
No subject such unselfsh love
To monarch ever gave;
am his humble servitor-
His most obedient slave.
