TWENTY-FIVE CENTS FOR A NAP.
Singular whim of n Customer ofa New York
Barber Shop.

Singular Whim of a Customer ofa New York
Barber shop.
A large man, wearing q heavy black
beard, went into the barber shop at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel the other night, climbed
into chair. put his head back, and closed
his eyes. The barber tucked the usual
towel under his chin, and then spent sever
al minutes fussing around among the
bottles and unguents. In moment he took
his powder puff, run it lightly over the
cheeks of his SUD iect, which were innocent
of any hair, and then, switching the towel
away from the mans neck, he began shak-
ing him with all his might. The man
reused himself with seeming effort, got
out Of the chair, gave the barber a quarter
for his trouble, and left the shop.
''That man," said the barber in explana-
ton of his pantomime, ''comes in here three
or four times week to get shaved where
his beard does not grow up to his cheeks.
As a matter of fact, there is absolutely
nothing there to shave-not Yestige of
hair. At first had to do it to humor him,
until I found that he had no sooner got his
head in the chair than he went sound asleep.
This happens as regular as clock work.
There's no use in shaving him, because no
hair ever grows where he wants to be
shaved, and 1 should simply be wasting the
time of people who really have some demand
upon my service. So wait until he is lost
in his usual snooZe, fuss around o little,
pass the powder puff over him, and then
wake him up. He is just as happy as if the
razor had been singing over him TOR 10 min

day that square-shaped mass OF granite was
the tallest thing on earth, but it and all other
famous constructions, such as the dome of st.

pared with this wonderful specimen of en-
gineering which man has raised on the
banks of the River Seine. When finished
it will reach point 1000 feet high, and the
altitude to which slowly mounted was no
less than 76o feet above that winding stream.
Fatiguing? Well, 1 should say so; and
so, too, was the coming down again, even
though it does not appear so in the adjoin-
ing picture. Happily, however, the day

Extravaganza in Cofiins.

To-day the height of extravaganza and ar
tistic workmanship seems to be attained in
cofins and caskets. They are made of rose
wood, mahogany, walnut, maple and cheaper
woods, with sliding handles, carved by
skilled designers, and the most gorgeous
silver plates and religious emblems imagi-
nable. Some undertakers have recently
made caskets costing from 81, 500 to 81, 600
apiece, and very ordinary affairs fetch $500
each. The costliest silks and satins and
laces are obtained for Innings, and several
sorts of patent metallic caskets of great dur
ability are manufactured. There are dealers
in undertakers' supplies in this city who do
an annual business of millions. But few
coffins are made here, most OF those used in
this part of the country coming kfrom

Boston Globe.l
The Globe of February had short ac-
count of "Relics of Much Value" and
among the relics mentioned was piece of
stone, which it was claimed was piece of
the foundation of King Solomon's temple,
and there was doubt expressed in the ar
ticle whether there was another similar relic
in the country.
DR.. Frank Brooks, of Marlboro, has in
his possession a piece of stone which he
claims has well-authenticated history as
part of the foundation of the temple of King
Solomon. This stone was given him by his
father in 1870, who broke it off the large
stone, which had just then been brought
from Joppa, in 1889 or 1910.
The relic is a three-cornered piece, about
two inches long and half an inch thick,
white and black in color, and is very highly
priced by the owner, who thinks the ex-
istence Of another piece of the foundation
of the famous temple well worth mention
ing.

Silvia took his daughter with him the
next morning in the yellow sail and went
direct to the great stone edifce with its
grand Greek porch, where nearly all the
money of this country is coined. He had
only two of the yellow pebbles" in his
pocket
There is a pleasant fiction, firm belief,
indeed, among the miners of California, that
you can step in at this Greek porch with
your gold and have it coined while you
wait. True, you get you coin at the end
of few moments; but it is not coin made
from the gold which you have dug from the
earth and so much desire to have in your
pocket. The truth is your gold is weighed,
assayed, then its value is handed you even
to the little red copper. But your particu-
lar gold which you take to the mint may
not be made into money for years.
Silvia and his daughter did not wait long;
for the ''yellow pebbles" were almost pure
gold, and their value was readily dpttr-
mined. As they ca--v uown the great stone
steps, he laid the heavy buckskin bag in her
hands: "It is yours; all yours Farla. Your
dowry. No, don't be afraid to take it, girl.
There is half bushel more in, the cave; to
say nothing of the heaviest part of your
ballast in the ocean at the mouth of the
cave" And the giant laughed and
laughed at the thought of the gold that had
slipped from his clumsy old hands into the
ocean.
