SHAVED WHILE YOU SLEEP.
How the Native Barber of India Performs
 the Operation.

How the Native Barber Of India Performs
 the Operation
 Talking about barbers, now" said an elderly gentleman, whose clean shayen face still bore the tan of the Indian sun under which the greater part of his life had been passed, Co New York Sun man, ''I know that the American artist is very skillful with bis razor and the luxury in and surrounding a baTber's chair iz any of the large cities of the United States is not equaled in any other part of the world. But, after all, the American barber has all the appliances of his trade. In India it is different
 The HindoO who slaves you while you are in your bed in the morning car ries with him little more than brush, a razor and a pair of scissors. He ex- poets to find everything else that may be necessary in your bathroom. You pay him, as you do your other servants, by the month, and he visits you every day or every alternate day as may be agreed upon. If he finds you sleeping he never arouses you. He just studies your position and then slaves only the parts of your face that are plainly ex- posed to him. and so gently and softly does he do it that unless you are a very light sleeper indeed you do not know that you have been lathered and shaved until you open your eyes and see him sitting on the floor beside the bed.
 Then he makes his Salaam and begs you to turn over so that he can finish his work. But if you are lying on your back no delay Is necessary. He finishes the operation and goes away without disturbing you and you awake to find yourself shaved without having seen the barber. Your face is, probably, a little clammy after it, because, of course, he cannot wash it. But as every man in India takes a cold bath the mo- ment he arises from his bed in the morn ing that does not greatly matter"

One of the most copious springs in Great Britain is the famed St. Wini- fred's well. near the town of Ilolywen, in Flintshire. The well is an oblong square, about twelve feet by seven, and it's water. say the people of the district, has never been known to freeze. This latter assertion may be true, as, be- sides containing 8 fair percentage of mineral matters that lowers its freez- ing point, the well is inside beautiful chapel, which was erected over it by Queen Margaret, the mother of Henry VII. The water thrown up is not less than eigity-fOygr hogshe~tlS every min ute, and the quantity appears to vary very little either in drought or after the hes viest rain, Showing doubtless that it's primitive sources are numerous and widely distributed St. Winifrcd's has been the object of many pilgrimages.

A few suggestions taken ,from the Medical World of Philadelphia, an authority on medical matters, will not come amIss at the present time. pr. N. W. Gayle has made study of the epidemic for thrae years and says;
 q am a firm believer in the germ theory of the disease. Influenza has been divided into three varieties: First the neurotic form second the catarrh- al form third the gastric form. There may be combinations of the above va rieties.
 "In my opinion influenza is due to 8 definite micrO-organism which is in the atmosphere under certain eondi- tions and at certain places, which con ditions ef the atmosphere last for a longer or shorter period. When these micro organisms come in contact with mucus membrane of the respiratory tract, if the conditio :s are such that they find lodgement then the disease is manifested.
 ,,In the catarrhal form there is in the outset sense of chilliness along the spine, in some cases a pronounced chill with high fever, sore throat, frontal headache, sneezing, pains in the limbs and varIous parts of the body, particularly iu the thoracic region. Pneumonia symptoms occur in many patients. The usual order of things has all the symptoms of a bad cold.
 "In many cases the convalescenee is slow and tedious. Stimulants and re- stcratives are here absolutely needed. Epidemic influenza, if not properly managed, is more liable to serious complications than nearly any other | disease.
 "Quinine is the best germ destroyer we have for the microbe of influenza, I sborted quite number of cases with sntikamnis in combination with salol and quinine."

THE RUTHLESS TURK.
A Striking Pen Picture of the Scenery of
 the Bosphorus-

A Striking Pen Picture of the Scenery of
 the BosPhorus-
 The Turk has been for centuries, says Alfred D. F. Hamlin, writing in the De cember New England Magazine, the most ruthless of Vandals in classic lands, destroying the most precious an tiq1o monuments to obtain lime and mortar. Much havoc of this sort has been wrought in and about Stamboul, but a wiser use has sometimes been made of ancient ruins. Wherever q bit of mediRval wall could answer his purpose, he has made of it the base ment of his house, thus subserving at once the interests of his purse and of the picturesque. The frowning machi- colations of the old fortress become the windows of his kitchen and store room, and upon their crest his wooden walls perch in truly triumphant fashion. Part of the walls of old Byzantium are thus crowned with houses, and at Roumeli-Hissar, beneath the windows of the American Robert college, 8 whole village clings to the scarpments and towers of the frowning Castle of Oblivion" No odder or more delightful confusion of beetling walls and comical houses could be imagined. The tops of the thick walls form lanes and alley ways, leading down from level to level by steep Inclines or crum bling steps The crow s nest houses stand at every possible angle and elevation, overhang ing the abyss on the further side of their lofty foundations, and gay with all the hues of the spectrum.
