Old Hutcll's Now Coat.

81 was introduced to Old Hutch in
Chicago the other day." said q New
England man in the Ebbitt lobby.
"He is a typical Yankee of the eX-
tremist sort, and you remember he was
originally fron. Vermont. lie has o
large frame, and in good flesh would
turn two hundred.
"Stingy?"
II guess; at least he has that repu-
tation. You remember he was held
up by footpads, and, although he was
worth few millions, they got only
twelve cents for their bold undertake
ing"
:'They say he dresses shabbily?"
There is usually some hayseed un-
der his collar, but / heard good
story about his getting new coat.
His son one day upbraided him on his
coarse clothing and urged him to get
a new overcoat like his own, which,
though ii cost $780, he assured his sire
was made to order for so. The old
man yielded, and the son sent word to
the tailor if his father came in TO
make the price $40 and lie would pay
the balance himself. The 500 coat
was soon on the old mans back, and
the next day on the board of trade Il
broker inquired if he was not getting
rather extravagant in his dress.
That's a fine coat you have on; |
would be willing 10 pay So for one
just like it.
You may have it, quickly re-
sponded the king of the pit, thinking
only of the $50 profit, and, suiting the
action TO the word, peeled his cover
ing as quick rs country suclierwould

a net loss in the Hutch family, but

The Foolish Car.

When we hear the stories about the
cars peril from Nihiiists, we cannot
help wondering why lie does not take
the most natural means OF lessening
his danger. The threats against his
life are not made in mere wantonnesS.
The men who would assassinate him
with as little compunction as they
would shoot mad dog, feel that they
have provocation and that they
would be doing Il service to the world
by sending a tyrant out of it. The out
RACES in Siberia, that seem to have as
sumed Il more horrible characterlately
than for some years previous, have
stirred up the feeling against the gov
ernment to greater height than ever.
1t is as the incarnation of the govern
ment that the czaris cXecrated. Would
not the simplest way 10 restrain the
indignation of the people he 10 show
a disposition toinstitute a thorough re-
form in the methods OF ruling
The car has been told in plain
words, by the representatives of the
awful power that opposes him at every
turn, and that is all the more TO be
feared because it works in secret. that
il he will make certaiaconccssions his
life Will be safe lie refuses absolute
ly TO treat with the secret element that
Will yet surely compass his death. And
lie wears armor under his clothes and
SETS his police 10 work 10 keep assas-
sins away, even when he goes 10
church to commune upon his knees
with his maker In what sort OF spirit
he pursues his devotions can only be
surmised. To the ordinary observer,
it appears very much like impious
mockely for man, be lie emperor or
bcggal, to enter n place OF worship UNI
der such conditions.-2ittsburg Bullc-

Rcllirerent Owls.

A plague of owls has for two weeks
disturbed the peace of John Mayors
home in the outskirts of Plainfield, n.
j. Tho first appearance of the owls
was noticed by one of Mr.. Mayors SONS,
who in romping about the barn dis
covered Il nest of the young birds
There were no larger owls in sight, and
the boy made one of the owlets captive
and carried it to the house. His mother
compelled him To return it to its nest.
He had no sooner placed it with tho
others than one of the older birds APP
peared and attacked him furiously, beat
ing him in Inc face with its wings and
scratching him with lis claws and bill.
Shielding himself with his arms the
lad ran away. The owl left him at the
barn door That afternoon one OF the
young ladies of the family had occasion
TO visit the carriage house, when a
great owl flew down and alighted on
her back. She shook it Off with diff
Guilty, and in the struggle had her gar
mentS torn.
Since then owls have taken complete
possession of the outbuildings and their
surroundings. Scores Of the birds. which
are OF the day owl species, have fol
lowed the first corners and lave made
their nests in the barn Several have
been killed, but this seems only to make
The others moro fierce Even the men
care not venture near HE nesting places
without masks or other protection.
The novel defense of umbrellas has
been at last adopted, and now when
any member of the Mayer family visits
the owls castle he holds parachute
over his head Already three umbrel-
las have been ruined t. the birds dasl.-
ing against them in vain cndeavors to
reach the faces OF the carriers. The
Mayer family are in :, state of mind.

cannot dispossess thei. belligerent ten

\ New Way to sharpen a Razor.

Use two hones-an Arkansas oil
stone and fine razor hone. The razor
is first applied to the Arkansas stone,
using fair pressure, and finishing with
lighter and lighter pressure strokes.
Remove razor from the coarse hone 10
the fine razor hone, upon which oil is
also employed. With few light
strokes on the fine hone AN enduring
hair splitting edge is formed. If the
razor be kept on the finishing hone
too long the fine edge will be lost. Ii
this be the case, the process must be re-
peated; that is, the razor is again APP
piled to the coarser hone and again tili-
ished upon the fine hone, care being
taken to cease honing after the razor
has acquired the hair splitting edge.
Very little practice is required TO as
certain when that point is reached, a
few hairs Of medium lineness supply
ing the required test. The coarse hone
employed should be of sufficiently fine
texture to put smooth edge OH a peck
ct knife, but not fine enough to give
a smooth cutting edge to q razor.-
