It happened in a Dearborn street
tonsorial palace. A young mar was
in one of tho chairs, having his hair
cut. II was Saturday, and well he
knew that he had no business having
his hair cut on such a busy day, but
there. he was. While the finishing
touches were being put on n fat man
came in, peeled off his coat and asked
for q fan. Tho fat man was nervous.
Ho was waiting for the barber who
was cutting the young mans hair. He
made ready TO take the chair when the
young man pumped his head down
and ordered one plain shave. This
made the fat mar hotter than
ever. After the shave he made another
start for tho chair, when the young
man Strengthened up and called for
two pin curls for his mustache. The
fat man fairly oozed sup
pressed profanity, and famed himself
the harder. Finally the young man
vacated tho chair, and the nervous fat
man glared at him as he took his place.
This was SO uncalled for that the
young man wanted to get even in
some way for the implied insult, so he
said to the barber: Your next door
neighbor says he wouldn't DO shaved
In here" "And why notY" asked tho
barber, as no poised his keen edged
razor above the face of the nervous fat
man, who was fully lathered by this
time. "Well he says your shop is SO
narrow that when no is getting shaved
he is in mortal terror that some one
will jostle you and make you cut his
throat" 1t was n mean revenge. All
of the color forsook the nervous fat
mans face, and to him his shave lasted
thought of the danger of having his

IAN ingenious machine was exhibit
ed to Postmaster General Dickinson
shortly before he retired from office,
and if it should strike his successor as
favorably as it did him may be in gen
eral use before long" remarked an Off
cial of the Baltimore postoffice. 1T is
an adaptation of the put-a-nickel-in-
the-slot machine to the sale of postage
stamps. A sheet of stamps is cut into
slips the width of two stamps, and
these slips are wound around a cylin-
der inside tho machine. A nickel is
placed In the slot, which drops down,
starts an electric current, which causes
the stamp cylinder TO revolve, the slip
of stamps glides along and passes un-
der n row of needles, which drops
down and cuts off two stamps.
"The owner of the nickel waits q few
seconds after his money disappears
and then shoves down n metallic but
ton, and two stamps make their appear
ance at an aperture in the lower part
of tho machine. 1t is proposed by the
inventors TO place these machines in
stores and prominent places about q
city. II the department approves the
plan they will adopt the machine SO
that two pennies or q ten cent piece
can be used with the result that
one two cent stamp or five stamps can
be obtained. In case a spurious coin
is used II magnet in the interior detects
the fraud and throws it to one side. ~

The Ignorance of Russian Police.

From an article by George Kennan
IA the April Century we quote the fol-
lowing: we heard many funny sto-
ries from the political exiles in Siberia
with regard TO the ignorance shown
and the mistakes made by the rural
police in dealing with supposed v
lutionists. Four or five years ago,
just after the assassination of tho gem
darme officer Sudeikin Soo-day-i-kin)
by the terrorist Degaief Deegy-yefD,
photographs of Degaief were sent to
every police Office in the empire. On
the back was printed an offer OF 10000
rubles' reward for the capture of the
six photographs of Degaief, showing
how he looked in a cap and without q
cap; with a full beard and without full
beard, and with q mustache and with
out n mustache. A hard drinking and
ignorant police officer in n village of
western Siberia, into whose hands a
copy Of this card fell, arrested four
unlucky wayfarers who happened TO
look more or less like the photographs
of Degaief, and committed them to
jail; then he went about the village
and to the dram shop in a half tipsy
condition, boasting that he had cap
tured four of those accused Degaiefs,
and was going to hold them until he
could find the other two, so that he
could turn the six together over to the
higher authorities. He had no doubt
that he would get not only the 5000
rubles' reward, but n cross of honor.
Another police officer, equally ig-
norant, arrested n scientific man, a
member of the Imperial Geographical
society, who had gone into the coun-
try TO pursue his favorite study of or
anthology. Tho unfortunate naturalist
was accustomed to note down every
day the names of the birds of which
he had secured specimens, and the 81
g%acious police officer, in looking over
his prisoners diary, found on almost
every page such entries as June 10
Killed a fine crown snipe this after
noon or June 17-Shot n silvia hor-
tensis today Regarding these entries
as u~nmistakable records in cipher of
nihilistic murders, the officer sent the
captured ornithologist under strong
guard TO the chief OF police of the dis
trict, with the note book as document
airy proof that the prisoner was one of
the most desperate and bloodthirsty of
the terrorist assassins; tho entry with
regard TO crown snipe' no said was
plainly n reference TO the most august
family of the Gossudar."

A bohemian Hashery.

what is a Bohemian restaurant"
The question was asked in my pres
n c by a fair young girl whose
knowledge of restaurants was confined
TO Delmonico's and the Savarin, with,
perhaps, ala occasional dinner at the
Brunswick. Her companion proceed
ed to explain. He was a clever writer
ON a morning paper, and had been do
ing newspaper work for a number of
years. He had experienced the usual
ups and downs of such life, and al
though he is now making a handsome
income, he clings to his bohemian
habits, and haunts certain restaurants
where he is SURE of finding some con-
genial friend with whom he can enjoy
his dinner and bottle Of wine. Some
what amused at this artless question
from a woman not many years young
er than himself, he proceeded to ex-
plain that such a restaurant would
probably not be found on Fifth avenue,
and his favorite haunts were not even
on Broadway. When she had fully di-
gested this he further remarked that
be had never met any of the so-called
-Four Hundred" at any of these
places. She was curious to know in
what street such delectable resorts
were located, and what class of people
frequented them. He must have drawn
an attractive picture, for she expressed
a desire to penetrate into one of them
"a desire SO eager that he was com
PEELED TO promise that it should be
gratifed.
And so, n few nights later, the bo-
hemian habitues Of q certain little
basement restaurant, in an unfashion-
able street downtown, were startled
by the appearance of a group of
ten gay men and women, who
occupied the largest table and had
the %jolliest time Of any group
assembled there. The men wore even
ing dress, and the girls and their
chaperone wore gay dresses and new
spring bonnets. OF course, a little
something extra was ordered for the
dinner by the enterprising newspaper
man, and it was voted an exceedingly
good dinner New York Star.

An Old Game Revived.

"One of the neatest tricks / have
heard in some time was perpetrated by
pair of burglars in this city lately"
said police captain yesterday. "The
younger of the two had entered n ri
vate residence while the inmates were
at tea, and the elder S ocd outside on
watch. The rifer was discovered, and
was soon chased from one floor to an
other by two gentlemen members of
the household. somebody called 'po-
lice,' and the outside burglar, drawing
his revolver, resi- onded. There, there,
ladies; don't make any fuss. I'll take
care of this fellow he said, and, max
ing a rush, he grabbed his mate by the
collar and gave him cuff on the neck
as he led him down the stoop. The
fUruffy brvu ofrotl ss--a.al- tla
gentlemen prepared to go to the sta
ton house to swear out complaint.
When they arrived there nobody had
heard of the case. The burglars had
vanished. It's an old trick, but

hood in many years. "-Ne,o York
