In n Maniac Barber.s Chair.

A barber becoming insane while shaw
ing man is what every man who ever
had his chin scraped has feared. There
fore a great sensation was caused at
Kenneth square when William Reese
showed signs Of insanity while shaving
Larkin jackson. jackson had been lather-
ed and was sitting in the chair, when
Reese made him shiver clear down his
spine by remarking:
jackson, you would make beauti-
full corpse; ! will take you to heaven
with me-
The BARRIERS eyes grew wild, and his
hand moved uneasily, scratching Jack
sons face. Reese laid the razor down
for minute and rubbed his hands. This
was supposed to be preparatory to max
ing jackson an angel Jackson. thinking
1t was time for him to get out, made for
the door, but he was not quick enough
for Reese, who met him at the door; but
after hard struggle he wrestled himself
loose and started down the street, with
Reese in close pursuit Reese stumbled
and fell He was captured, and will not
do any shaving for some time to come

Al Ancient Mohammedan writing

Among the curiosities Of the Upsala
University museum there is an old hand
writing the value Of which has just been
considerably increased by its identified
ton. 1t was acquired by the Swedish
scholar Hasselquist during his travels in
the east in 1749-51. and was presented
by Queen Louisa Ulrika to the universe
ty. It is a manuscript in Arabic, but,
owing to the title page not being genu-
inc, the authorship has never been ascer-
tanned. Professor Ahlwardt, Of Greifs-
valid. has now discovered that its real
title is Proof of Mahomet's Prophet
ship" and that the writer was the cele-
brated Eleventh century scholar, Abu
Bekr ell Beihage. of the thousand vol
umes OF whose writings only q few have
been preserved. It is rumored that part
Of the MS. win be published, with
translation and notes, and that King
Oscar Of Sweden will lend his patronage
to the scheme, Pail Mall Gazette.

The Temperament Of Genius.

An eminent literateur has raised the
old question Of the celibacy Of writing
men. He says to the matrimonially
minded virgin, Don't marry man Of
genius" So and on much the same
grounds has the author OF .'virginibus
Puerisque' spoken. Toquote him. TIE
practice of letters is miserably harassing
to the mind; and after an hour or two's
work all the more human portion Of the
author is extinct: he will bully. hack
bite and speak daggers."
But the doctors differ. A day or two
ago was talking to one Of the most
eminent and also one Of the busiest Of
our literary men. | asked him what
portion of life he thought most enjoy
able. "That in which am hard at
work, he answered, without moments
hesitation. ''And does it not make you
feel nervous and irritable?" was my next
query. mot at ALL he replied: ION
the contrary, q spell Of composition ex-
hilarates me. never feel depressed or
gloomy except when idle One fancies
that Sir Walter Scott did not make
bad husband. and he worked about as
hard as most men. Depend upon it. the
marriage of a literary man is as much of
lottery as any other wedding. Lon

Eating Gala Root. Cooked.

A new vegetable is about to be intro
duced to the people Of the United States
through the department Of agriculture
1t is the root of the sacca lily. which re-
sembles somewhat in appearance the
ordinary Irish tuber, with the addition
Of few whiskers that have nothing to
do with the quality of the article as an
esculent. 1t is more elongated. and
when cut the interior is a trifie more
viscid. Bnt section Of it is 50 potato,
like you would not be likely to distinguish
any difference In cooking. it has first
to be boiled in order to destroy certain
acrid properties, after which it may be
fried, roasted, baked, or what not, ac-
cording to taste.
Farmers in Florida have begun to
raise these Gala roots for market. The
plants grow readily in swamps. and SO
thickly that the yield of a single flooded
acre is enormous They reproduce them
selves by the multiplication Of their
bulbs underground. so that the grower
has simply to dig up the offshoots and
leave the parents to propagate anew.
For centuries the Egyptians have culti-
waited similar crop during the season
of the Nile overflow, and at the present
time Gala lily buds are common vege-
table in Japanese markets. So prolific
and palatable are they that their propa-
cation in many parts of the United
States where conditions are favorable
may reasonably be looked forward to as
an agricultural industry Of the future

fitted with the electric light. Each coach
has two distinct storage batteries. and
the lamps are on two distinct circuits,
so that in case Of accident to one circuit
or on changing the batteries the car
riages shall not be left entirely without
light. The storage cells are especially
designedto stand rough handling. and
have q capacity Of 200 ampere hours
Each battery supplies current to four

kndliest of feelings for the family that
discharged her, and she knows that the
next family that employs her may act
likewise next year; but she is obliged
to work. and she gets the best employ

This practice is undoubtedly one Of
the reasons for the objections to work

AN UMBRELLA SCHOOL.
Rules That Have Been Formulated fee
the Young Men Of Gotham.

Rules That Have Been Formulated fee
the Young Men of Gotham.
It. is said that a school is about to be
formed in the great city of New York
for the purpose Of teaching young men
how to carry an umbrella properly over
the head of fair companion.
Something Of the kind has long been
needed, says the New York World.
This season, with it's rains and hail and
snow, created an absolute demand for
it. And so an umbrella school has
sprung into existence A committee of
women selected from the most popular
classes of women = widows and
debutantes-have formulated a code Of
rules whichshall stand as the A B C's Of
the school. They are as follows:
Be sure that the umbrella is unfurled
before you leave'the doorstep or car. IL
is exasperating to woman to walk In
der a drizzly drip while her escort is
fu1nbling with the shelter.
When once the umbrella is raised,
hold it not to the right nor to the LETT,
nor to the front nor to the back, but
directly over the hat of the woman.
De SUIT GldU IL IS AACV 81 LeIA All VIGIL
that the back prongs of the umbrella
will drip upon her shoulders, nor yet
so far back that the front will drip upon
her bangs.
Don't yank her by the arm while car
ryirg an umbrella. She wants to hold
up her skirts and, besides that, the pose
of the umbrella is sure to suffer.
Never mind your own hat, even
though it be a silk one, and do not value
the safety Of your eyes, but devote your
whole attention to the covering of that
one woman.
Should the elements rage in all di-
rections, and the rains descend from
everywhere, and the clouds pour forth
torrents from the north, south, east and
and west, abandon at once all hope OF
keeping the woman's garments dry and
bring all your energies to bear upon the
preservation of her frizzes Keep them
dry at all hazards. Fen though you
have to shelter them under your
''plaidie" Remember always that bet
ter wet, sozzled, dripping woman
with pretty bangs than a dry one with
stingy, disconnected, desolated locks.
