An Unfinished Shave.

This reminds the writer of an expert
ence in the Arran Islands, on the west
coast of Ireland. He had three weeks
growth of beard on his face, and he
hunted over the three islands for bar
Der, at last finding one who was willing
to undertake the job. The Arran barber
had never shaved Yankee, and was
overjoyed at the chance. He was 20
years old, and had been engaged all his
life at building stone walls. He sharp
ened his razor on piece of smooth flag
stone and seated his victim in kitchen
chair. One man held the patients head
and dozen interested spectators looked
on, for it was an altogether unprece-
dented event in the islands. The lath-
ering was done with a piece of hard
brown soap, which was rubbed over the
face. Grabbing handful of hair on
top of the patients head the stone wall
builder fourished the razor in the air
and exclaimed:
care We all ready, sir?'
"All right" was the trembling reply.
Down came the razor with sweep like
that of a scythe. The implement was
evidently as full of teeth as buzzsaw
1t tore the hair out by the roots. It
raised the victim bolt upright as if a
cannon cracker had exploded. Tears
gathered in his eyes. His hands clinched

Appearances Are psosptirs.

The popcorn man who does business
at the corner Of Clark and Center streets
met with q ludicrous mishap Sunday
evening, just at the hour when tho
streets were crowded with those who
had spent the afternoon In the park.
This vender Of corn has occupied this
place for years, and knows ia which
direction every car will turn ss well
as the switchman who turns the
Lincoln avenue cars up Centre street.
Those who have watched street car az
1t rounds curve have noticed how the
front platform runs ahead, as though
the car was going to continue in the
same direction, and then gives sudden
lurch and whirls around the curve.
AT the corner Of Center and Clark the
appearance to those who do not happen
to know the cars is that all north bound
trains continue up Clark street. As the
cars near the corner it is the custom OF
this popcorn man to board all the trains
in the endeavor to dispose of his but
tered grain. Sunday evening as the
north bound grip came laundering up
Clark street Mr.. Popcorn man placed
himself, with his arms full of merchan-
disc, right in the center of the Clark
street track. AS the train came nearer
and nearer he never moved. Omit came,
and stranger in the crowd which
thronged the entrance of the park be-
came desperate.
Dashing in front of the grip car he
wildly seized the astonished popcorn man
by the neck and twirled him to what he,
thought place of safety. The popcorn
flew like a million grasshoppers, and the
old man swore like trooper. Anybody
who has heard the heartless laugh Of a
street crowd can get an idea of the roar
of merriment that went up as the situa-
ton dawned upon the bystanders. But
the most amusing thing of the whole af-
fair was the look of blank amazement of
that well meaning gentleman as he be-
held the front car, with its two trailers,
turn up Lincoln avenue. Chicago News.

Dust to Dust.

A thousand years hence-so says Q
member of the Academy of Sciences
nearly all the stone buildings now stand
ing in Europe will have crumbled to
dust So perishable is the material of
which they are constructed that the
process of decay is already evident in
many conspicuous edifces. The same
thing is going on in this country. Neither
marble nor our favorite brown stone can
withstand the action of the elements.
Even the Capitol at Washington is un-
dergoing disintegration.
1t may not be important that an ordi-
nary dwelling house should last thou
sand years. For sanitary reasons it is,
perhaps, just as well that people should
have to build their houses over again
once every two or three centuries. But
it is not agreeable to think that the Cap
itol and all the great churches in the
country will have disappeared by the
year Of grace 2s90.-New York Ledger.
