That Close Shave.

Whenever a man ONE into my shop
and asks for "a clean shave, | wish that
knew him well enough to show him a
piece Of his skin under a microscope
after he has had his shave and is feeling
his smooth face in a satisfied way while
the boy brushes him off. The hair Of
the beard. in growing, raises little hills
of flesh around each root, and in shaw
ing a man smoothly the razor cuts these
Off, leaving the blood vessels exposed.
Under the microscope these bleeding
vessels can be distinctly seen, and the
flesh is seen to be entirely without the
covering Of skin it should have. The
natural result is that the close shaver is
always troubled with colds and affec-
tions of the throat. Close shaving is so
much a western habit that eastern bar.
bers say they can tell a western man by
his dissatisfied look when he gets out OF
the chair and feels that he has some OF
the skin still left on his face.-St. Louis

APPRAlSlNG
The Scales Used Arc So Accurate That
they Will Weigh n Hair.


The arrangements for such an exami-
nation are quite elaborate. First of all
the scales are tested. These are maj
wells Of accuracy and will readily weigh
n hair. An eyebrow dropped on the
balance will send the other side Of the
scale slowly upward. These scales are
placed upon "A broad table leveled 10y a
careful calculation. around which stand
the appraiser, his assistants, the experts
and the importer. They do not talk, be-
cause a tremor of the scales and conse-
quent inaccurate weighing might result
from loud articulation. After the doors
have been closed several innocent look
ing wooden boxes are placed on the table
and unsealcd. Two or three boxes of the
size that bonbons come in may contain
$500, 900 worth of sparkling diamonds.
The stones are wrapped up in pockets Of
paper like druggists powders. These
pockets are unfastened and laid on the
table. The invoice is consulted and the
government expert makes his inspection
and calculations in the presence of all
parties. His judgment is final and there
is no appeal from his decisions,
If he thinks a diamond is worth 500
q carat, and the importer has it invoiced
half that sum, up goes the invoice to the
experts figure. 1t is in the valuation of
the larger stones that the finest discrim-
mating power is required and the most
thorough knowledge of diamonds neces.
sary. Flaws that are absolutely undis.
coverable to the naked eye, but which
affect the value of the stones, according
by the aid of the magnifying glass,
which is indispensable to the expert.
Every gem undergoes the same scrutiny.
1t is turned in all directions and viewed
from all points. In comparison with
the number of imperfect stones, the real
gems are rare. After the entire lot has
been examined cappraiSement is made
and a duty of 10 per cent. added to the
price. There is rarely any difference
between the government appraisers cal
culations and the invoiced prices Of
stones.
Appraising diamonds is very hard on

inspectors eyes, rendering minute scru-
tiny difficult. A short rest restores the
tired eyes, and the examination is re-
sumed. The whole process is an ex-
tremely interesting one, and is made
more so by the general air of mystery
which surrounds the diamond appraise-
monts. The precious stones are shipped
from the principal European diamond
centers in wooden boxes about six inches
long and half that depth and width.
Nothing appears more careless, but in
reality this method is the safest that
could be adopted. None but the shrewd-
est thief would suspect that an ordinary
wooden box, handled like any piece of
express matter, contained a fortune in
diamonds. 1t is rarely that they go
astray, and the European agent Of a big
importing house car ship his purchase
directly from the diamond centers in
plain boxes, subject to regular express
rates, with no fear as TO their safe ar
rival.-New York Star.

An Anccdote of Ericsson,

One good story of Ericsson Is missed
from the hundreds that are now going
about. 1t was told many years ago that
the famous inventor was invited to hear
Ole Bull play the violin. His reply was
that he had no time for such ~frivolity
as he had been taught to regard music
that he never had an ear for it anyhow
that ii would be a waste OF his valuable
time and a breach upon his staid daily
habits. But somehow his friend man
aged to bring the two great geniuses
together. The meeting was said to have
occurred in the inventors shop. A violin
was produced and Bull began 10 play
while the inventor worked. Pretty soon
Ericsson paused In his work, then he
dropped his tools and listened %spellbound
To the magical tones of the musician.

felt that something had been wanting in
his life, and that he had never known
what it was until that day.-Musical

Common Cause of Dyspepsia

One of the most common causes Of
dyspepsia is eating heartily when the
system is tired and jaded. When ex.
hausted by either mental or physical
work we are usually ra%venously hungry,
and, Of course, turn TO food AS the leans
IF restoration. The fact is seldom ap-
preciated that the stomach shares in the
depression caused by overwork, and
hence at such times Is unable to perform
its ordinary duty. The food taken then
is but very slowly digested, and before
the process is completed fermentation
often takes place. If it does the conse-
quence is that we are IN n worse state
than if the food had not been taken, for
the fermentation generates acids and
gas, which in turn not only interfere
with digestion. but excite other disturb
ances. In a very strong and healthy
person the i'll effects of eating when the
system is much fatigued would not be so
marked as in one below the standard Of
health. Very nervous individuals invari-
ably suffer from the habit, and if debili-
tated they are quite sure TO grow moro
80 if it is persisted in. When very tired
and hungry" it is always best to rest for
a time before eating, or to take some
such simple "pick up" as hot milk,
which should be slowly slipped That is
very refreshing, indeed, and usually
meets the requirements quite rs well as
an alcoholic stimulant Boston Herald.

A Slight Mistake,

One Of our popular young men. wish
ing to accompany T Of our sweetest
young ladies to church "a last Sunday
night, wrote her q note. She replied
what the reply was we don't know-and
handed it to the dusky bearer, who, on
his way back, took the liberty of licking
tho envelope and sealing it up. On
reaching the room Of the young man he
was met by Juddie Pitcher. who seized
the note, scanned 1t for a moment, then
placed the side which had been sealed
up to his lips and impressed upon 1t a
fervent kiss, remarking at the same time,
''She scaled this up" A broad smile
played over the little darky's face as be
replied, No, sir, boss, l sealed dat letter

Poison In Milk.

According to Professor Vaughan tyro-
toxicon does not develop below 60 dogs.
Fahr., and is acknowledgements when air
Is excluded. Some very simple measures,
then. are preventive:
Scrupulous cleanliness. A little dry
milk on the rim of a can or vessel may
breed the germ which will find a culture
ground in fresh milk.
A low temperature-below 60 dogs.
Fair.
Ventilation In an untainted atmos-
phere.
1t is but just to say that these precau-
tions are generally observed by careful
dairymen and cream manufacturers.
There is grave reason to fear, however,
that they are not generally observed after
the milk reaches the consumers hands.
Also. the slightest carelessness may af-
feet seriously that class of the commu-
nifty which does not speak for itself-the
very youngest.
Statistics prove with increasing testi-
mony that all artificial feeding Is not
only unnatural, but hazardous, and to
be successful requires the most intelli-
gent attention. However, if all mothers
and nurses could learn that milk exposed
to foul or warm air for any length of
time may not only sour, but become the
vehicle Of a virulent poison, perhaps the
summer months would bear a better
health record.
One word Of warning may not be
amiss. Whenever a young child is FED
upon cows milk, and this causes synp
toms of disagreement, the diet should bt
changed at once either to meat or rice
for if the chief mischief maker be al
work the best milk will only furnish i,
with the medium in which it lourishes,
and deprived Of this 1t will inevitably
perish.-Alice b. Tweedy in Popular
Science Monthly.

Irregular.

The little steamboats, which run on the
Florida rivers are reported to have a very
elastic schedule of time TO run upon.
The habits of the easy going people are
no doubt to be credited with the uncer-
tain movements of the craft. A writer
from that state says that no one seems
to know exactly when the boat will ar
rive or depart, and, moreover, no one
seems to care or to think that it matters
at all.
"lf she does not como today she will
Tomorrow" is the prevalent tone of an

she'll stop here" and SO forth, say our
various sources Of information.
There is n tiny little steamer, which is
announced and intended to run to the
southern end Of the river. and which
looks like a coffee pot as it putting
fussily along, when we SEQ it at last. Fol-
some days we do not see it; and further,
no one seems TO know exactly where the
little craft is.
