A CHINESE BARBER.
How He Manipulates His Razors, Tweezers
and Scrapcrs.


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
low three-legged stool, on which the
customer sits bolt upright. Coat,
waistcoat, necktie and collar are re-
moved. and a common long cloth put
around the neck. The face and throat
are washed with perfumed water and
dried with soft towel, any remaining
moisture being removed By vigorous
tanning. The shaving that follows re-
sembles our own styles, except that
almost no lather is used. After going
over the face and throat, Lee shaves
the back of the neck and the temples,
and if the eyebrows are irregular cuts
away enough hairs to produce the SYM
r.etry 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, tweczers, scrap
ers and sponges, and with these pro-
ceeds to embelIish the ears. He first
shaves off the down on the outside, and
then with dextrous sweep of the
wrist the hair on the inside of the ear.
The blade Of this ear razor is about as
large as match, and is conceived 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
Swedish movement cure on a small
scale. The muscles of the face, scalp
and throat are kneaded, pinched and
pulled, even the eyelids being exer-
cised. Then the large muscles of the
arms and trunk are alternately iiexed
and extended, the finger joints
cracked and the head twisted into
dozen positions. The finishing touch
consists in being patted and pounded
with Lees fist and open hand from
the top of the head to the small of the
back, and the job is complete. Time,
thirty minutes; cost, 'hap dolce. y

MARRIAGE STATISTICS.
The Most Marrying People Among tn
European Nations.

The Most Marrying People Among the
European Nations.
The English are a people much given
to matrimony. Not only is their aver
age annual marriage rate higher than
those of all other European countries,
with the exception of the German and
Austro-Hungarian Empires, but. says
the Register General, they also marry
at an earlier age than is the case in any
other European country excepting Rus
sia. In Russia very large proper
ton of the marriages are between boys
and girls under twenty years of age;
and it is stated that no less than from
sixty to seventy per cent. of the con-
scripts, who can not be over twenty
one years of age, are already married
when they come to be enrolled in the
army. The explanation given of this
strange anomaly by NJ. Pietro Seme-
now is that in Russia the population
contains an enormous proportion of
small agriculturists. who are in the
habit of marrying their sons at as early
an age as possible (the legal age being
eighteen for males) in order to secure
an additional female laborer. Putting
aside this exceptional case of Russia, it
will be seen that in no other country
of which the statistics are given is the
proportion of either males or females
who were under twenty-five at the
time of marriage so high as in Eng
land. Very young brides. brides that
is to say under twenty FEARS of age,
are propor,ionally more common in
France; but with this exception, and
of course that of Russia, the figures
for England in each of the first two
columns, both for males and females,
are higher than that for any other
country.-Chicago Inferior.

AN ELECTRIC YACHT.
TIE Wonderful Machine Invented by
American Engineeu.

Inc WONDERFUL H0cntue invented Dy
American EngineeV.
There is in course of construction Ct
Poillon's ship-yards, Brooklyn, an ex-
perimental vessel whose success, when
attained, may go far toward revolu-
tionizing the system of propelling sea-
going craft. The motor power will be
electricity. The machine is placed in
the hull of the vessel below the water
line, and on this account the inventors
claim it will be particularly applicable
for men-of-war, as shot will not be able
to reach it. 1t need not be fixed amid
ships, but can be erected either far for
ward or far aft. This fact will make
it of use on sailing vessels, where it
may be slowed away under the cockpit
of a yacht, for instance, and brought
into use during calm. Great benefit
to canalboats, too, is claimed by
the projectors. Anything that floats
will be able to use this new invention,
it is said, while it would be worse than
useless in any factory or mill on
land. That is one of the greatest
mysteries of the continuance. The
cost OF running the apparatus will be
only small portion of what is needed
to operate the present system of ma
chinery. The space occupied by the
invention will be from one-third to one
half of that taken up by engines, boil
ers, etc. The number of hands neces-
sary to work it will also be greatly
lessened. If these things be true the
immense advantage that ocean steam
ships will derive from this electric ma
chine is apparent, when it is consid-
cred that steamer like the Oregon
employs one hundred and fifty-six men
in its engineering department, uses an
average of two hundred and forty tons
of coal per day and has to give up q
vast amount of valuable spare to
steam-making apparatus. To c.c che
climax Of the claims for value that its
owners give this astonishing machine
is that it caA be brought into use a.
steering apparatus ia case of necessity.
Many naval officers, representatives of
foreign nations, steamship men. yachts
men and others have visited Poillon's
to study the inv.ntion. CArissias a

REFINING OF PETROLEUM.
The Various Processes Necessary to the
Production of Refined Oil.

The Various Processes Necessary to the
Production of Eefined Oil.
Processes vary in different establish
ments. but they are essentially as fol-
lows: The crude oil is emptied into
stills made of heavy boiler iron, either
in cylindrical form (placed hofzon-
tally or with oval top and corrugated
bottom, underneath which is the fur
mace fire. Every refinery has a series
of these stills, each containing from
six hundred to fifteen hundred barrels
The former are twelve and half feet
in diameter and thirty feet in length.
The heat of the furnace causes vapors
to rise from the most volatile portions
of the oil within three hours after firing
up. This vapor enters a coil, or worm,
Of iron pipe submerged in cold water.
The water cools or condenses the vapor
into liquid called ''distillate''. This
condensation in some refineries is ef-
fected BY permitting the vapor to es-
cape intD confined boxes of water or
condenser In this box or condenser

The Hindoos saw that chess was I'll,

The Hindoos say that chess was the
invention of an astronomer who flour
ished several thousand years ago and
was possessed of supernatural knowl-
edge and acuteness. The Greeks claim
that it was the invention of Palamedes
to beguile the tedium of the siege of
Troy. The Arab legend is that it was
devised for the instruction of a young
despot by his tutor, learned Brahmin.
to teach the youth how king was de-
pendent upon his subjects for safety.

Mother a,1d Sons Cremated.


 FULTON, Mo, March S.-Bstween ? and 3 o'clock this morning the one and-s-half story dwelling-house be- longing 10 and occupied by Mrs. Mary B. Gus nbury, 8 widow, aid her tW O sons, Ollie and John, young men of l9 and l7 respectively, was destroyed by fire. This dwelling was located in the northern part of town snd about half a mile from the business portion. The fire was discovered hrst by some ne groes who were attending a dance some three-fourths of mile away in an opposite part of the town. The 3uisenbury residence is surrounded by other residences, yet no 5ne in the aeigkborhood discovered the fire or was aroused bv an alarm till the house was wrapped in flames. Those who reached the house first fduhd the doors locked and the window-shutters closed, and their wild cries could rot arouse Che family. The rear of the building or kitchen had been destroyed, when the crowd broke into the four lower Foofhs and found them unoccupi2d. A rush was then made for tls southwest room, but by this time it was all on fire and the flames bursting out of its windows. This was Mrs. Quisenbury's bedroom, but no one could approach it;
 ! When the fire had burned itself away, two blackened and crisp trunks, having but little semblance to human bodies, we're found in the ruins, and told the fate of the two young men. They had been students at Westlnin. ster College and were hard workers, sitting up until l2 and l o'clock at night studying From the appearance of the bodies when found they were burned to death in bed Their legs and arms were burned entirely from away and almost all the flesh was burned from the body. Their heads dropped to pieces when handled. Mrs. Quisenburt escaped from the house through the back hall door to drop dead in the yard. It seems she awoke before the fire reached her room. and realizing the fearful condition of her sons, rushed up the stairway to their room in her night-clothes with q blsnket .thrown around her; but could save neither them nor herself, When her body was found it was unrecogn- skIs.
