How Cinnamon Are Shaved.

The Chinese of San Francisco shave
nearly every day. A queer little razor
1t is that they use, too. 1t is in no re-
spect like our razor, except in the matter
OF the keenness Of its edge. II is wee
bit of blade, nicely curved into semi
circle. With this tool the Chinese bar
Der scrapes the almost hirsuteless face
Of his customer and then shaves him
around the ears and down the neck TO
the first bone Of the spinal column. The
rounded point Of the razor is also insert
ed into the Celestial ear, and every am
bilious hair that dares to show itself in
the aricular lobe is clipped before It pro-
ceeds very far. The Chinaman, you
know, is scrupulously clearly about his
ears. A growth of hair in them is con-
sidered mark Of low birth or Of care
lessness or ungenteel habits.-St. Louis

One morning a gentleman of many
scientific attainments sat quietly and
alone at his breakfast. Presently he
noticed that some large black ants were
making free with the contents of the
sugar bowl. He drove them away, but
they soon returned. seemingly unwilling
to leave their sweetened feast Again
they were dispersed, only to return in
increased numbers. There was lamp
hook directly above the center Of the
t8ble, and, to try their ingenuity, the
gentleman suspended the sugar bowl to
ce hook with a cord, allowing it to
swing clear of the table about an inch.
First the sagacious little creatures
tried to reach it by standing on each
others backs. After repeated efforts,
all Of which were failures, they went
away and it was supposed that they had
given up in despair. Within a surpris-
ingly short time, however, they were
seen descending the cord by dozens and
dropping themselves into the sugar
bowl. They had scaled the wall,
,versed the ceiling and discovered an
Vsher road to the treasure.-St. Louis

willing to Sell Cheap.

An amusing incident happened in a
southern city court the other day. A
Jew was on the witness stand testifying
fgainst negro who had stolen pair of
bantaloons from his store.
:, "How much are the pants worth?'
asked Judge Thompson.
"Well, judge" responded the witness,
sit depends on the man who wants to
buy them. sell them to one man for six
dollars, to another for five dollars, but
syou can have them for four dollars"
{ "Sir," responded his honor, in a dis
gusted tone of voice, 81 want you to tell
me what those pants are worth"
"Ah, judge" said the Israelite, "take
Fem for three dollars if four dollars don't
Psuit you"
Look here" Numbered the Judge,
If you don't tell me the exact value of
those pants l will send you to Jail for
contempt of court"
"Well, then, judge" pleaded the OBJ
fuse witness in a most insinuating tone
of voice, 'take 'em for two dollars. 1t
is giving them away almost, but you
can have EN- for two dollars"
By this time the people in the court
room were convulsed with laughter,
and the judge himself was obliged to
forget his disgust and join heartily in
the laugh. He did not buy the ''pants,
however.-Green Bag.

Took His Word for 1t.

At the battle Of Seven Pines or Fair
Oaks the Fifth New Jersey, in conrec-
ton with the regiments Of the Second
brigade and others, ably attested the
universal confidence reposed in them by
their commanders. Senator Wade, at
Bull Run, said, "Give us a brigade of
these Jerseymen and We'll beat the en-
envy STILL"
During the engagement Of June l a
Union soldier had his leg shot off by a

Different Terms for the Same Things.

Among the peculiarities of so called
pure English, nothing is more singular
than the difference between the names
given TO footwear. In America a boot
is something which comes nearly up to
the knee, while in England anything
above low cut shoe is invariably de-
scribed as boot, The same popularity
exists in regard to hose. In England
the only two words used are stockings
and socks, the difference being entirely
in the length Of the leg, and the word
half hose being purely American. In
the trade in this country there are three
charlottesville stocking, a sock and
half hose. There is no ribbed top to the
American sock, and there are other
technical differences which are unheard
of in the old country.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

the nose is perforated and large piece

To Resusoitate the Hair Drowned.

Everybody may be called upon to
afford assistance to drowned persons
while the doctor is being sent for, and
Prof. Laborde's simple method for
restoring breath when all other means
have failed deserves to be universally
known. Our Paris correspondent
tells us that the other day at a wa
tering- place in Normandy, two bath
ers, a young man and boy, who
were unable to swim, went out Of
their depth, and disappeared. They
were brought on shore inanimate,
and were taken to the village. Two
doctors were sent for, but the young
man gave no sign Of life, and they
declared he was dead. M. Laborde,
who was fishing at half an hours dis
tance, came up as soon as he heard
of the accident. He examined the
body and found that the eXtremities
were cold and the heart had stopped.
Then taking hold of the root of the
tongue he drew it violently forward,
giving it a succession of jerks, in Of
der to excite the reflex action Of the
breathing apparatus, which is always
extremely sensitive. At the end of a
few minutes a slight hiccough showed
that the patient was saved. In adj
dition to the usual restorative means,
Prof. Laborde, in extreme cases, rubs
the chest with towels soaked in hot
and nearly boiling water, although
the skin is blistered by this.

Nerve.

During Lord WolseleY's first eight
years in the army he was at war every
year, and to this fact of continued
exertion he attributes his military
success.
'There is said he, ''but one way
for a young man to get on in the
army. He must be absolutely in
different to life.'
So faithful was he in carrying out
this maxim that his escapes were
manifold. He has had bullets pass
through the lapels and sleeves of his
coat, and shots have carried away
the cap from his head. He has been
laid low with wounds to which many a
stronger man would have succumbed,
but, as some one once said Of him,
'tHe refused, point-blank, to die"
Lord Wolsely himself gives an in
teresting illustration of the way some
victories are won.
s'We did it sometimes simply
through shouting" he says. "Once
we had no more than twenty-five
men, and we were shouting, shouting,
all the time. I could not speak for
four days, and some of the officers
lost their voices for a week.
"We were firing from behind a
heap of dead bodies. and told. the
bugler to blow his very loudest while
we cheered, and as the enemy thought
we had plenty Of men in the rear, we
won the day."
It is interesting to know that so
determined a man refused to imperil
his success by any indulgence which
might weaken his endurance. At
one time he smoked a great deal, but
having once come to the conclusion
that it was injurious to the nerves,
he gave up the habit forever. Before
he had thus completely ''ssVorn of, "
however, he ceased INDUCING in it
before certain important actions
81 did not smoke for a week." he
said, t'befoFe Tel-el-Kebir was won,
and as I wanted every iota of nerve
before ] went up to take Kslartoum,
I gave it up then"
Nerve he considered the great
element needed in war.
1.-THE wise men who haven't 1t give
up," he said. ''The fools stay on and
come to grief youths Companion.

neRrnaa LIMIT Of life as it usually 0C1es
TO men, thes he scarcely felt that he
could expect tho final outcome to be
ANYTHING but unusual. No doubt the
condition of his health had much to do
with the state Of his imagination; more
over, a man in love is apt to take a dis
torted view of small matters when they
connect themselves with the subject
affecting his heart.
Lawrence toiled patiently through
some intricate nOtarial affairs, and
when everything necessary had been
signed, sealed, and delivered" he
heaved sigh of relief. went to his room,
dressed himself with care, and calling a
carriage ordered himself driven to the
number given him by Lueie-
It was a solid and stately looking resi-
denee before which the carriage drew
up. He thumped the door with its
ponderous brass knocker, a trifie ner-
vously, it must be said, and stood wait
ing. Strange that mans heart should
be so hard to control at such a timel
Stranger still that his fancy should
weave in spite Of him web Of fantastic
expectations
A servant opened the door. Was
Mile. de Vigny in?
No, she was not in.
Where was she?
The servant did not know. She and
her father had gone away, it was on a
long journey-on a ship-to France,
probably. The servant looked indif-
ferent, his voice was inhospitable, but
Lawrence pushed past him and went in.
Tell your mistress" he said, that 1
wish to see her"
A minute later a tall, serene-looking
lady met him graciously, and informed
him that Mile. de Vigny and her father
had sailed for France that very morn
ing.
Lawrence caught a ray Of subtle ma
lightly darling from the narrow, placid
eyes which were scanning him between
their straight, moveless lashes.
Madame, said he, are you quite
sure that they are gomez"
She lifted her brOws a trihe. made
some movement with her lips indicative
of surprise mingled with polite con-
tempt. When she spoke the effect OF
fnality was perfectly conveyed by her
voice.
Il am quite sure, monsieur; good
day."
The young man stood alone for mo-
ment before going. Hat in hand, he
looked down at the carpet and around
the silent room, while his thoughts
crushed themselves like a confused
blur, A delicate watt of heliotrope
touched his nostrils as it had on that
day at the mountain hotel in Switzer-
land, and he felt as one might who
should suddenly find himself left the
sole inhabitant of the earth. A sense
Of enchantment, so to speak, gave alb
sOlute strangeness to the experience.
He turned and walked past the tidy,
formal man servant out into the street,
where his carriage was waiting. At the
point Of mounting into the vehicle he
turned and cast his eyes over the state
ly facade of the house. At an upper
window something white cleaned. 1t
was vision of beauty that followed,
an apparition seen as if
Through leagues Of shimmering water like
a star

A Man who Ate Fire.

From the following account, taken
from Evyln's diary, where it appears
under date of 10th mo, Sth, 1872,
it appears that f1re-eating freaks are
not altogether modern innovations:
"I took leave Of my lady Sunderland,
who was going to Paris to my Lord,
now Ambassador there. She made
me stay to dinner at Leicester House,
and afterward sent for Richardson,
the famous 'f1re-eater.' Before us he
devoured birthstone on glowing Goals,
chewing and swallowing them. he
then melted a beer glass and ate it
quite up; then taking live coal on
his tongue, he put on it a raw oyster;
the coal was (then) blown with a
hand-bellows until 1t famed and
sparkled in his mouth, and. so re-
NAMED until the oyster was done.
Then he melted pitch with sulphur
and drank it while it flowed. I saw
il flaming in his mouth. "-Phi1adel.

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.

Several gentlemen were sitting
around the hotel fire telling stories Of
hair-breadth escapes, some of which
partook of the marvellous, and, after
hearing them all take a turn, the
quiet man spoke as follows:
"Once, in the early '7Os, I was
hauling load of freight to San An
gelO, Tex, and 1 remember that I
stopped one evening to camp in a
deep raVine, just after I had crossed
the Colorado River.
81 was driving a trail wagon and
was using eight mules, and Just as
had unhitched my team I heard a
roaring noise, and looking up saw a
water spout coming down the ravine,
filing the ravine with a raging tor
rent, about ten feet deep, which came
rushing toward me in a solid wall of
angry, 'brick-colored' water. I hur-
ried to hitch up my team. and sue
ceeded in doing so, and IN fact got
them turned around, and started
down the ravine at a sweeping gallop,
and might have outrun the water
spout but the front axle Of my for
ward wagon broke, and while 1 was
trying to cut the horses loose, the
flood overlook me.
ST expected to be drowned, Of
course, but, strange to say, as the
water struck my hindermost wagon
it subsidized, as if by magic.
II thought at first that 1 had been
saved by direct proYidential inter
position, but such was not the case,
gentlemen. I was hauling out sup
plies for new insurance agency at
Angelo, and my hindermost wagon
was loaded with blotting paper

Locusts have been doing great DAM
age in some of the districts Of Cape
Colony, and the Legislature has been
considering how to deal with the
plague Some of the Cape farmers
believe that nothing should be done.
The following clipping is report of
what took place at meeting Of a
village council. 1t is from Cape
newspaper: 'tMr S. Grobler said he
had heard about the making of a
locust law, and spoke in solemn terms
of the godIessness Of such plan.
Mr.. I. Greeff said that if they would
make law to destroy Iocusts they
must take into account which King
is their ruler. Mr.. @. Scheepers spoke
in the same spirit, whereupon the
following motion was proposed by Q.
Scheeper and seconded by I. Greer:
Seeing locusts are a plague which
cannot be looked upon otherwise than
as a punishment sent us from above,
this meeting most strongly condo INNS
the proclamation of a law for the
eradication of the said plague This
was carried"
