This reminds the writer of an expe-
rience in the Arran islands, on the west
coast OF ireland, last February. He had
three weeks growth of beard on his
face, and he hunted over the three ISL
ands for barber, at last finding one
who was willing to undertake the job.
The Arran barber had never shaved
Yankee, and was oyerjoyed at
the chance. He was twenty years
old, and had been engaged all his life
at building stone walls. He sharpencd
his razor on piece OF smooth flag
stone, and seated his victim in q kitchen
chair. One man held the patients head,
and dozen interested spectators looked
ed event in the islands The lathering
was done with piece of hard brown
soap, which was rubbed over tho face.
Grabbing handful of hair on top of
the patients head, the stone-wal
builder fourished the razor in the air
and exclaimed:
"Are ye all ready, sir?"
"All right" was the trembling reply.
Down came the razor with sweep like
that of a scythe. Thhs implement was
evidently as full of teeth as buzzsaw.
1t tore tho hair out by the roots. 1t
raised the victim bolt upright as if
cannon cracker bad exploded. Tears
gathered in his eyes. His hands clinched
conyulsively, and rivulet of blood ran
down his cheek. The butcher went to
the window to wipe his weapon clean.
While standing there he looked up and
exclaimed pathetically:
"Shure, sir, ye have face as tindher
as a little babby!"
The shave was concluded three weeks
later in the city of Galway.

4 npog aIodiste" in Paris.

Lovers of pet dogs will be interested
in the visit of an American lady to the
store of a dog modiste" in Paris. The
sights were very amusing. The place
was not SO much a store as an establish
mcnt, with nails and rooms richly fur
nished. Ladies trippe1 in and out all
day long, most of the visitors having
with them pugs or terriers. The pet
dogs were scattered through the rooms,
each awaiting its turn. Many small
mats and rugs were around the
waxed floors, and every bit of carpeting
of the kind was occupied by some pretty
little creature. These dogs have va
rious dresses. The robe used in the
morning is a garment OF dark blue
cloth. 1t is called paletot, and is
lined with red flannel. From n leather
collar little bells jingle as its wearer
walks along. Sometimes bunch of
violets is fastened on the Lett shoulder
Of dog. On very cold days the pet is
clad in scalskin of the same pattern, the
collar being of fur, mounted in silver.

cation an Experience.
The queen Of Hawaii, who has as
cended the throne in succession to the
late king; is not wholly inexperienced,
as she had on several occasions acted as
regent in the absence of the king. In
deed, says the Chicago Journal, she was
so acting when he died. She rejoices in
the name of Lydia Kamehameha Lii
nolalani, and was BON in 1888. Her
relationship to the Kamchamehas, the
first kings of the united Hawaiian
islands, is through her mother. 1t is
an old native law that legitimacy Tor
the right to be royal is derived from the
female, and not from the male, as in
European countries. The queen, who
was poor claimed heir-apparent to the
throne on April II, 1877, is morganatic-
ally married, her husband, Lieut-Gen.
John Owen Dominis, being governor
of one of the islands. The new ruler

BEATING A RAILROAD.


How q Dishonest Travelling Man Tried ia
Swell His Pocketbook.
A drummer for a st. Louis clothing
house tried to play low-down trick on
the Alton road at Dwight one day re
Gently, and but for the change observe
ton of female passenger who YVES
awaiting her tram his scheme would
undoubtedly have succeeded.
The fellow, says the Chicago Herald,
held checks for two pieces of baggage,
a trunk and satchel Obtaining per
mission from the baggageman. who
was at work on the platform, to go in
side and place en- extra sample in his
trunk the travelling man shortly
emerged from the baggage-room protest.
ing that he was unable to find his
satchel. Search was at once instituted,
but to no effect; the missing grip for
which he held check was nowhere to
be found. AS it was not forthcoming
when the train arrived the drummer
made formal complaint to the station
agent and put in claim of one hundred
dollars against the road to reimburse
him for his loss.
After the man had left, a lady who
sat in the waiting-room, and who had
been quiet bat interested observer of
the proceedings, walked toward the
ticket window and inquired of the
agent if the drummer had actually
claimed tlslt his valise had been stolen.
She was told such was the case.
well" said the woman, 81 am con-
WINGED that the fellow is a fraud, for
81 r1;ar of
the baggage-room, G-ld distinctly saw
that man go in there, unlock his trunk
and place his satchel inside. Then after
pretending to hunt around the room he
rushed out and began abusing the bag
gngeman."
The agent whistled thoughtfully. 1t
was new dodge on him. Then he
sent dispatch to the operator at the
p, P. and N. junction, to which place
the drummer had checked his trunk, in
which he outlined the circumstances
and urged that the agent call two or
three reputable citizens and in their
presence open the trunk.
The st. Louis man was uptown when
the telegram arrived, but his baggage
was at the station. Hastily calling in
the city marshal and the nearest black
smith, the locke the trunk was slsillful-
ly picked, and there, just beneath the
tray, lay the missing satchel.
The entire particulars have just been
sent in to the general Office of the AL
ton, together with the very saucy let
ter demanding one hundred dollars.
In reply an answer was sent the st.
Louis drummer to the effect that if he
ever dared press his claim any further
he would be vigorously prosecuted and
punished to the full extent of the law.
Since the exposure of this well-laid
scheme to raise the wind it transpircs
that the artful dodger has been work
ing the plan on other roads, but as TIE
mans claims had not been paid, OWN
to the usual red tape that obtains in
such cases, the chances are that he
will never press any of them for final
settlement.

American dentists are very popular in
England. Their advertisements are al
ways to be seen in the London Times
and other English papers. It is also to
be noticed that English dentists
announce their readiness to perform
all operations with the latest American
improvements. In Paris, likewise,
American dentists are greatly favored
with French patronage, and several Of
them have made fortunes by their skill.

Through The Weary Hours

OF many night, made doubly long by
its protracted agony, the rheumatic suf-
ferer losses to and fro on his sleepless
couch, vainly praying for that rest which
only comes in fits and starts. His mall
ady is one which ordinary medicines too
often fail to relieve, bat there is ample
evidence to prove that the efficient blood
depurent, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
affords the rheumatic reliable means OF
relief. Check the malady in its incipient
stages, when the first premonitory twing-
es come on, with this agreeable medicine,
and avoid years of torture. Whatever
be the rationale of the active influence OF
the Bitters upon this malady, certain 1t
is that no evidence relating to its sffoat
is more direct and positive than that
which relates to its action in cases OF
rheumatism. Like all sterling remedies,
however, it deserves protracted, syste-
matte trial, and should not be abandon
ed because not at once remedial 1t is
equally efficacious in dyspepsia, indiges-
ton and kindred disease.
