who have married useless old milionaires

application from Murray Hill

A good man Is like city set up

A man who gets drunk will steal
if he is not too much afraid of the
jail.
Most Of you don't care if your
neighbor goes hungry so you have
enough.

There's merchant in this city

III you want to know what your
neighbors think Of you, disguise
yourself and go among them.
The man who don't laugh needs

The most beautiful sight in this
world is to see a man leading his

Face Memory.

We sHust say to begin with that .
large proportion of mankind, as any
great portrait painter win testify, never
see faces actually nj all Some are short
sighted and see no definite edges to any
thing. and consequently, though uncon-
sciously, rely for Identification on evil
dence which is not that Of sight and is
frequently all wrong. They see the
type, but not the true face, and, rs n
considerable portion of mankind pos
sess type faces, distinguished from
others Of like kind by differences as
minute rs those Of leaves, the short
sighted are constantly liable to error.
So are the inattentivc. They fail some-
times, after many interviews, to catch
the expression Of the face; can not
state, except in the vaguest way. the
color of eyes or hair, and will misde-
scribe features perhaps prominent feat
ures-as if they were paid to do 1t.
They have never attended to the face at
all, but have been content with a gem
eral expression; they have never OBJ
served with any true observation, and
are as little to be trusted in their ac-
counts as women believe most men to be
when describing women's dress. They
viii even confuse dark persons with
light, and declare that long face
struck them as a short one, or hesitate,
as a witness did in q bigamy case, about
the presence or absence of mustache.
Indeed, it is probable that large sec
ton of mankind can not observe, for of
all who land for the first time in India
or China, at least half declare that all
Indians or Chinese are precisely alike.
Yet, though Cinnamon have certain
broad points of resemblance in color,
shape of brows and absence of hair,
they are in details as different as Eu-
ropeans; while. Indians, owing to their
wide difference in color, the use or dis
use of hair on lip or chin, and the ex-
istence among them of features due to
varieties of original race, are more diff
ferent than white. Inattentions is. how
ever, the main cause of error, and is
sometimes carried to extraordinary
lengths. We have known brothers un-
able to state the color of each others
eyes, and fellow collegians who could not
remember whether acquaintanccs wore
the mustache or not. London Standard.

It does not look as though the vener-

and as full of Jokes as he was when he
cast his first vote and knew nothing of
the cares, anxieties, and responsibilities
of craftsmanship and political leadership
that were in store for him. An Irish
man named Dick Connolly, barber of
Harrisburg, has been shaving the gem
cral every day, when he Is at his Front
street mansion, for many years. The
general is fond of Dick, and not only
delights to joke with him, but gives him
the benefit of many a reminisccnce that
nobody else has ever heard. The other
dav while Dick was hourishing razor
in his most artistic style about the old
mans chin he said to the general:
General, Oi hope Oi be here to shave
We Wien we're hundred years old
Il hope you win, replied the general,
cheerily. "And I'll tell you what I'll
do, Dick: If you shave me when I'm a
hundred years old I'll make you a pres
ent of the handsomest horse and car
riage that money can buy. But you
must agree to shave me every day in the
meantime.
"But what if Oi become a millionaire,
and git elected to congress?"
"That doesn't make any difference.
You viii have to get your barber tools
together, sacrifice your constituents, and
come to shave me.
.sBut, gincral. what if Oi die?''
.sYou must shave me. dead or alive.
II You don't you won't get the carriage
and horse. Is it contract?''

cided Dick, and the old statesman and
his barber shook hands warmly.
