From the Chicago Daily Tribune.
The barber had cut the hair OF the man in

man said:
'Tll take Q shave"
The barber shaved him In silence and when
he had finished the operation the customer
spoke again:
''Sea foam"
For the next i've or ten minutes the barber
was occupied in applying and removing the
sea foam and he preserved the same stony
silence.

This operation was performed and still the
operator spoke not.

THE GREAT BEAR
A Few Pointers About the Dipper and the
North Star.

A Few Pointers About the Dipper and the
North Star.
From the Mechanical News
Most people on 9 clear day can, without .
watch or other timepiece, form q closely sp-
pro1imate idea Of the time of the day by the
position of the sun, but few, perhaps, have
guessed at any similar method Of computing
the time during the night without any other
means than the "starry skies" Notwithstand-
ing, fairly reliable time indicator can be
found in the northern skies on every cloudless
night. As is generally known, the group of
fixed stars called the Clipper" makes an ap-
parent revolution toward the north star in
every twenty-four hours, with the two stars
forming the outer elevation Of the bowl of the
dipper pointing nearly directly to the polar
star continuously.
If the position Of the pointers Is taken at
any given hour, say o'clock in the evening in
winter time and as soon as it is dark in the
summer, the hour can thereafter be pretty &C.
curately measured by the eye during the night
Frequent observations of positions will have
to be made at the given hour, as, owing to the
constant changing of the earth's position in
space, the position Of the pointers in rela-
ton to our point Of observation and the star
also change. Observations taken during q
year and impressed on the mind will make
very good time indicator of that part of
celestial space.

CHAPTER I.

NN THE path OF DECEMBER, 1880, I
~ was standing in little country railroad
station in g state Of perplexity. Near me- sit
ting In a chair by the stove, was . young lady,
also in a state of pe-plexity. Facing ~ both
stood the station master, who had been In q
state Of psrple1ity. but was getting ont Of ii.
Just you wait here ten Minutes" he said,
'-snd I'll see what can do for you," and put
ting on q fur cap and an ulster he went out Of
doors.
The state OF the case was this: Miss Weldon,
the lady BY the stove, was on her way to join .
Christmas party at the house Of her uncle, Mr..
DOlliyer, some seven miles from the station,
and L, invited to the same house, had been
delighted to meet her on the train We were
good friends and had studied art together in
Paris When we left the city in . morning
train little snow was beginning to fall, and
as We journeyed northward we found the
snowfall heavier and heavier, and we had
arrived at this little village Of Boynton at
clock IN the afternoon an hour behind time
From Boynton TO the Deliver house We were
to go by 9 stage coach. but the stage driver
had left more than an hour previously. hurrying
away before his ordinary time of starting. for
fsar the road would be blocked up before he
could get to ms home, good twelve miles
away, and assuring himself that there would be
no passengers for him on suca day.
II was reasonable enough that we should be
perple1ed, for we could not zee. nor at first
could the station master see. how we were to
get to orr journey end that dsy. II we would
wait until next day. he told US, the stage driver
would be back IN 9 sleigh He said he would
be sure to come-for Christmas packages, if
not for passengers. But we could not wait IN
til next day Ii would be better to return to
the city IN the next down train, If, happily, one
should come. We could not hope that the
Delivers would send for us. for if they saw the
stage pass without stopping they would be
sure we had not come By the tram.
The station master was a good man and did
his bes. to get Us out of our trouble. He had
doubts abOu. another train coming down that
day-it was a branch road with one track-and
he thought it would be great pity if the Dol
hvers should be deprived of the company Of
two of their Christmas guests; lot of them had
come up the day before Nobody in the vii
lage made business of hiring out vehicles or
carrying passengers, but idea had struck

what he could do with it

Evidence Of Former Experience.

James Richardson, q middle-aged man. was

required surgical treatment. There was blood

'Got licked?"
"Yep," and the victim settled back, while
Freeman went to work with sponge, needle and
plaster. While at work Freeman was observing
Richardson's nose. That organ was somewhat
swollen and it pointed over its owners right
shoulder, lying almost fat to the face.
'Nose broken?" the steward inquired.
"Yep," again answered the mutilated man.
Freeman seized hold OF Richardson's nasal
organ vigorously and tried to pull 1t out
straight. 1t did not bulge, but the man did.
He howled like . wolf and swore like pirate.

from New YORK Letter.
During the days Of Henry Ward Bescher's
courtship, it is related BY his wife that he once
dropped into poetry and wrote few lines of
verse teeming with affection for his sweetheart.
But the verses were always kept sacred BY Mra
Beecher, - they are at the present day, and
nothing can win them from her.
One day Mr.. and Mrs Beecher were In the
Office Of Robert Bonner, who was then conduct
ing the New York Ledger.
"Why don't you writes poem, Bsschsr3" said
the acute Publisher. 81 viii give You moro for
