THE BARBER'S TERROR.
CONSERVATION in "A Shaving Shop Caused
by Man With Glass Eye.

Never stare at q man while he is
shaving you,'' remarked the barber as
he mixed his lather. If you do, the
chances are ten to one he will remove
a slice of your damask cheek or downy
chin. 1t makes a barber fearfully
nervous" he continued, as he lathered
the customer, ''to have man glare up

! While operating on a gentleman one

seemed to follow me about, keeping me
in sight, no matter on which side of him

a cast in it, for it seemed to twist around

it began to fascinate me. I could not
keep my eyes off it. Suddenly the

clamation as my razor clipped off a
piece of his chin. l apologized and
tried to pay close heed to the shaving.
But impossible. That eye, with its
cold, stony stare Watching me so close

man muttered an angry oath. This
time l had clipped him again. Again
l apologized, and again l clipped him.

could hardly draw my razor across his
cheek. The eye still kept its glance
upon my face. was afraid l would
cut the man badly and finally asked
him to please not stare at me so, as it
made me nervous.

Marriage Failure?" has lately been
studying Buddhism. Here is one in
stance where she found an affirmative
answer. The matrimonial relations of
the Buddha family were not as salts

for the stage of civilization existing o.
800 years ago1 Before this couple had
been married year Gautama deserted
Mrs. Buddha and took to the woods;
that is, he went afar off and sat under
DO tree until, by long reflection and
deep contemplation, he discovered that
life was not worth living. Then he
came home, and, like the young man of
the nineteenth century, appeared por-
fectly willing to live on the charity Of
his father-in-law.-St. Paul Pioneer

AN ECCENTRIC ARTIST.

The Great Pride of Joseph Turner, tho
English Painter, Illustrated.
Joseph Turner, the great English
artist, had many apparently contradict
tory qualities. He was almost miserly in
his boarding of money, and yet in some
things he was extremely generous; he
was gruff and blunt, and yet kind-heart-
ed. A good story illustra ting his great
pride is told. When his grand picture
Of carthage" was refused by some one
for whom he had painted it to order at
the price Of one hundred pounds ster-
ling, he resolved to leave it to the ma
ton. subsequently, at great meeting
at Somerset House, at which Sir
Robert Peel, Lord Harding and
others were present, it was agreed to
buy two pictures of Turner, and to
present them to the national gallery as
monuments Of art for eternal incite-
ment to artists and all art lovers" A
memorial was drawn up, and presented
to Turner by his sincere old friend, Mr..
Grifflths, who exulted in the pleasing
task. The offer was 5000 pounds ster-
ling for the two pictures, the 'Rise"
and "Fall of Carthage" Turner read
the memorial, and his eyes frightened.
He was deeply moved, and shed tears,
for he was capable of intense feeling.
He expressed the pride and delight he
felt at such noble offer from such men,
but he added, sternly, when he read the
word ''Carthage," mo, no; they shall
not have it," at the same time inform
ing Mr.. Grifiths of his former inten-
ton. Turner died December 10, 1851,
leaving 100000 pounds sterling with
which to found a charity for needy art
lists. Relatives succeeded in breaking
the will and getting most of the prop
erty, but large number of oil paint
ings and drawings were secured by the
national galleries of art These pict-
ures are now among the most highly
priced in Great Britain.-Chicago News.

The young nephew had tolerable
legacy, and made no fuss whatever, and
one day Camiola entered the homestead
as its mistress. It was strange ending
to her love story, she thought. She was
here at last, but how? 1t almost SEEM
ed to her as though some spiritual union
had taken place between her soul and
Ren's; and in the keeping-room, on q
peg near the door, she hung his coat
and hat. There they hang always, and
to the stranger who secs them, and
looks at the mild old lady rocking in
the great chair as she sews or knits, it
seems as though the master OF the
house were within-upstairs somewhere.

ONLY = WORD.

Only ~ord his lips let fall
& A carei ess word in wanton play
He did not think of it at all,
: And idly went upon his way.
But In heart with sorrow sore,
The cruel gibe produced its smart,
And what he never Thought of moro
Convulsed crushed and bleeding heart.
Only word another spoke
simple word lit by u SMILE
And mental clouds their darkness broke
Which Swallowed all the sky erewhile.
A life which hope had seemed to leave
Grew stronger from its generous might
A heart bowed down with utter grief
Felt the rare radiance of its light.
The future rose serene and fair,
And sorrow lost its bitter sting;
A single word, though light rs air,
May seem very little thing;
But hope, Joy, sorrow and despair
BY it in human hearts arc stirred;
This Is no thing more foul or fair
Than one slight utterance of II word.

THE GOOD BISHOP.
Remarkable Kindness and Gentloness G
4 Great Man.

Remarkable Kindness and Gentleness Of
Great Man.
1t was certain Bishop, who, before
his elevation to the episcopate, was mas.
ter Of one of the colleges of Cambridge
University, of whom Bishop WILDER.
force once said: "You have heard Of
the milk Of human kindness, but unless
you know the Bishop of c. you do
not know the old cow from whom the
milk comes" He was indulgent to
every one, even beyond the verge of
laxity, and his gentleness can hardly
have been salutary for youthful morals.
One day he put one of his boys in a
corner, and though this was such mild
form Of penalty the Bishop could not
bear to compel the youth to endure it
for any great length Of time.
''You may come out of the corner
now, Dicky," he called, after q short in
terval.
''Shan't," replied Dicky.
