Fussy Men.

Men are often more fussy and par
ticular about insignificant things than
women. There are thousands of men
in New York who go miles out of their
way to get shaved. know men, says
writer in the New York Herald, who
come down on the elevated, and who
get off at some intermediate point to
patronize a favorite barber. They have
done SO for years. The array of private
cups in any shop illustrates the
strength of this shaving habit. When a
busy business man will sit half an hour in
one of these shops and tumble the flash
papers while he waits for his particular
tonsorial artist to be at liberty, it
strengthens the conviction that he is
weaker than woman. The man who
doesn't learn to shave himself while his
beard is young is laying up life of
slavery to public BARRIERS. In the course
of an ordinarily long lifetime he will
spend about three years sitting around
barber shop and year or two more
going and coming. -...D-.a.s. -.

GOVERNMENTAL RAIN-MAKING.
Electricity to BE Employed for the Pur-
pose.

Electricity to BE Employed for the Pur-
pose.
The government is actually going
into the business of making rain, or
trying TO do SO, says the Indianapolis
News. Congress has appropriated a
sum of money which will be expended
in attempts to secure rain where it is
needed. For this purpose balloons will
be sent up into the air, connected with
the, earth by electric line, and when
exploded are expected to compel the
clouds to disgorge. Although the rain
is said to fall upon the just and unjust,
it is very far from equitable in it's dis
tribution. In some place the crops and
even the people arc drowned out, while
in Others both suffer and perish for
rain. 1t seems there is plenty of water
in midair and all that is necessary is to
bring it down. 1t is believed, by pro-
ducing concussion among the clouds,
this can be effected. If these expert
ments should prove successful the next
step will be to steer the clouds around
in some other section of the country
when one locality is getting more rain
than it wants. There is nothing in
earth, sea or sky that scientific expert
ment hesitates to tackle" and it is a
satisfaction, although rather a mourn
full one, to think that our children will
know and see things that are un-
dreamed of in our philosophy.

A FOOLISH RESTRICTION.


1t Is Not "Good Form" to Carry Parcels
in England
In London it is not considered "good
form" for gentleman to carry through
the streets parcel, however small or
elegantly wrapped. He may carry a
book, if it is not too large and is not
wrapped up, for book is book; but
parcel may be a pound of cheese or a
dozen red herring. The restriction is a
foolish one; a form of class distinction
that is inconsistent with the highest
civilization, in which every man will be
a gentleman if he is thoughtfully con-
siderate of others, whether he is a
laborer or rides in q carriage. The au-
thor of England, Without and Within, -
gives an anecdote of an casy-going
English gentleman, who was not bound
by the absurd law against parcel-carry-
ing.
A shoemaker had missent to him q
pair of shoes intended for neighbor,
and had probably sent to the neighbor
the shoes that should have been sent to
him. As he had no prejudice against
carrying bundles he went with the shoes
to his friends house.
On arriving at his friends door he
asked to see Mr.. Dash, but was under
stood by the servant to ask for Mrs.
Dash, and was ushered into her pres
ence. The lady, who had never seen
him before, looked up and curtly asked:
what have you there?'
''Mr. Dash's Shoes" replied the gen.
tleman.
''Oh, yes; it's all right. Mr.. Dash is
out, but he'll be in soon, and if you
want to sec him you'd better take a
seat in the hall and wait till he comes -
'But, madam" began the gentle
man, who YVES baronet's son.
"Never mind, never mind; it's all
right. Step out in the hall, please, and
wait for Mr.. Dash"
The gentleman, of course, appreciated
the situation at once. But he was too
well-bred, and had too keen a sense of
humor to explain, which would have
both mortified the lady and prevented
him from enjoying her mistake. He
stepped into the hall, intending to give
the shoes to servant and leave the
house. #@
But meeting his friend coming in, he
gave him the shoes and after few
words, bade him good morning. Though
pressed to remain, he refused, knowing
that his return to the wife's presence
would cause her embarrassment.
His consideration for the feelings of
another person would have made him q
gentleman if he had been hod-carrier.

Greatest City.

Greatest City.
One of the most durable and constant
impressions that have got from Lon
don, and from England, too, is the solid
ity of everything there, wrote the late
p. 7. Barnum in the North American
Review. The English people do not
believe in shams or sham work. Their
docks and public monuments, and all
their public works. express a sense of
permanence. They are built, appar-
emily, TO hold the planet down, and to

They have good roads-far better
than ours-but they do not take to light
wagons like ours. The frames of some
VI ullclF vehicles are as AcaVV, II not
heavier, than the balloon frames we put
in our houses.
And how ashamed it makes one of
New York to see, as one does in Lon
don, the smooth and well-paved streets,
and carriages going over them equipped
with rubber tires to deaden the noise!
Asphalt is now the common pavement,
and the one most preferred although
certain streets are macadamized in
fine ard thorough way. The asphalt
pavement becomes so smooth that the
horses, when they go down hill over
which it lies, do not lift up their feet,
but slide-almost slzate-down the in
cline. Their intelligence has taught
them that this is the easiest and most
practicable way.
On the other hand, horses that have
never been away from prairie. or ex-
tremely level country, do not learn the
use Of the bre cching on harness, and
go down hill, if they are ever removed
to a country of different topography,
without attempting to hold back, and
without knowing how.
