Parting the Hair.

'.On the right, if you please" said q
representative of the Call last evening to
tonsorial artist, who, brush and comb
in hand, was about to part his hair on
the left side of the head.
call right, sir" said the knight of the
brush and comb; twas going to part it
on the other side from force of habit"
GLOW many people part the hair on
the right side 2" ;,
II should say less than in twenty"
"And why do so many part it on the
left side 2"
because" said the artist, brushing
back stray lock, .'they've been brought
up to it from infancy. A mother facing
her boy always holds the comb in the
right hand, and it being easiest to comb
the hair from left 10 right, she parts it
on the left. The boy when he grows up
and is able to part his own hair finds the
part on that side, and follows the line
marked out by his mother. That's why
the majority of men part on the left."-

Coming South to Raise Truck.

Lue Gin Gong, an intelligent China.
man located at North Adams, has been
instrumental in organizing company
which has leased 400 acres, consisting of
an island on the Savannah River, two or
three miles above Port Royal, S. O.,
which will be devoted to raising garden
vegetables, which will be sent North in
the early season.
He came from China to North Adams
when a boy, laid up $4,000 or $4OO0,
and, after joining the Baptist Church,
concluded to return to his native land as
a missionary. On his arrival in China
his mother refused to give him anything
to eat because he would not go to the
Chinese temple and worship his dead
father, according to the religious custom
of the Chinese, and in consequence ne
nearly starved to death, was hunted by
officers, and would have been killed had
he not escaped from his native village
and returned to this country.
Last winter, while be was in South
Carolina, it occurred to him he might
procure land in that region where he
could raise vegetables lor Ine NoItueI .
markets, and on his return to North
Adams he presented the matter to some
of his friends there. They were favora-
BILE to the project, and stock company
was formed, leased 400 acres and intends
to begin business at once. Lue Gin
Gong vii! personally superintend the
work upon the land, and will have twenty
or thirty Cinnamon from California under
him to do the gardening. Their market
will be New York city, and it seems to
those who have investigated the matter
that the enterprise will be q paying one.
There is much interest taken in the
project, especially as the work is to be
conducted by Chinaman and the labor
is to be performed entirely by Cinnamon.

with his cotton that he has not had time
to look after his hogs. He must get his
cotton to town to pay the merchant for
the green meat and salt which he paid
twelve cents for on credit in the spring.
There will be no hog killing at bis home
and we feel sorry for him. True he
ought to be blamed little for not having
sense enough, and business judgment
enough to know that he will always be a
tenant for the merchant in town: He
has been told often enough that he will

How to Break OFF Bad Habits.

Understand the reason, and all reasons,
why the habit is injurious. Study the
subject until there is no lingering doubt
in your mind. Avoid the places, the
persons, that lead to the temptation.
Frequent the places, associate with the
persons, indulge in the thoughts that lead
away from temptation. Keep busy ;
idleness is the strength of bad habits.
Do not give up the struggle when you
have broken your resolution once, twice,
a thousand times. That only shows how
much need there is for you to strive.
When you have broken your resolution,
Just think the matter over, and endeayor
to understand why it was you failed, so
that you may guard against the OCCUR
renee of the same circumstances. Do
not think it an easy thing you have un.
dertaken. It is folly to expect to break
off habit in day which may have been
gathering strength for years.

A Steam Bicycle.

PORTLAND, Me, Nov. 2.-A bicycle
locomotive, now in progress of construc.
tion by the Portland Company. is nearly
ready for trial. It is novel machine.
It's boiler is shaped about the same as the
common locomotive boiler, not differing
much in lenght, but rather smaller in
diameter than that of arailroad locomo.
live. It's fire box is deeper and the cab
will be two stories hig gh, the fireman
occupying the lower and the engineer the
upper story. 1t has two cylinders of the
same shape, buta little smaller than the
ordinary locomotive cylinders, located
quite close together under the part of the
boiler farthest from the cab. Then under
the middle of the boiler is one giant steel
tired driving-wheel. It's eight feet in
diameter and was cast at the Portland
Compeny's. foundry last summer. The
tire is deeply groved, and on either side
of the great driving. wheel 10 crank to
take the place of the treadles of com.
mon bicycle. The pistons of the cylin.
ders are attached by means of driving
rod to these cranks, aud by the power of
steam the novel railroad bicycle will be
propelled, it is claimed, anywhere from
one to two hundred miles per hour. It
will cost from ten to fifteen thousand dol
lars, perhaps more, and will weigh say
twenty five tons.
The inventor is E. Moody Boynton,
and he is very enthusiastic over it, and
seems to have plenty of money with
which to carry. out his ideas, The cars
will also be made to run on the rail, and
will be two stories high to correspond
with the cab of The bicycle locomotive,
which will be some sixteen feet high.
To prevent the whole thing from top.
pling over the track will be built with a
rail above as we'll as under the train.
The upper rail will be supported by
strong iron columns planted on either
side Of The lover rail at sufficient dis.
tance apart to allow the train space to
pass between them. Grooved wheels of
a small size as compared with the driving
wheel will be fixed to the top of the cars
and locomotives will be run on the upper
rail. In this way the train will be pre-
vented from topping over. Now, it is
claimed that by this arrangement the
friction will be much less and, therefore,
the train can be propelled faster and with
less power; the expense of constructing
the roadbed will be much less than the
cost Of the roadbed of the railroads of the
existing system, a very narrow roadbed
being all that is required.
