All INGENIOUS BARBER.

 He Frightened His Customers, Then
 Shaved Them.
 There is a barber shop way out in the annexed district that is run by a most peculiar man. He is a joker and under certain circumstances both bow CTS as well.
 A New York Commercial Advertiser reporter who happened to be out that way dropped in for s1ave. The father was applied in a fairly .iisfactory way, but the fact that it was put on with a small paint brush excited grave appre- hensions.
 Do you do much business?" asked the customer, in what he meant to be a cheerful tone.
 Not much" was the reply. ''You see, people never come here more than once"
 The wave of apprehension grew larger.
 But I don't care" continued the barber; ''all I want is practice. Then I can work in Q shop down town and before his victim could escape the bar Der held him down with one hand while the razor was rapidly chased over his face. Still it was good shave, very good shave.
 II have had twenty years expert enec, said tho artist, when the jobwas finished, but l believe ny system is a good one. I tell people that l cant shave. If give them al easy shave they are highly pleaseas just as you are. On the other hand, if l tear all the skin of their faes-why l can ex- euse myself CT the FAa th@t gave i varnia.g."

The IIeecnrs of Paris.

A clever Frenchman has just been taking the statistics of the charities of paris, which are immense in volume,
 and he finds that three-fouuths of the colossal sum which they represent is absorbed by professional beggars. He gives a very amusing account of the de- vices which they adopt for getting this enormous sum and for living in idleness upon it, and his conclusion is that the whole system of almsgiving must be reformed. If something is not done soon he thinks that the deserving poor will be entirely crowded out by the fal1irs. There are well-known mendi- cants in Paris who have piled their trade until they have become rich and who are yet undisturbed by the police.

 .sAgates are often colored artifcially. For this purpose they are first placed in olive oil and heated. Then they are prt into sulphuric acid and heated 7rain. Owing to the fact that some ayers of agate are quite porous, while others are dense, the oil enters the porous layers, where it is blackened by the acid, thus making the contrast be- tween the colors of the layers more striking and enhancing the beauty of the stones. Other colors are given to agates by soaking in different solutions and otherwise, but these methods are trade secrets"

MANY MlLLlCNAlRES.
Plenty ot Wealthy Men in New York

Plenty of Wealthy Men in New York
 City.
 Admitted to be the most astonishing feature of modern society in New York II do not say modern fashionable so- ciety, because several of the names up on it's shining list are not yet seen in those of the functions enjoyed by the society called Four Hundred-is the number of colossal fortunes owned by individuals, writes Mrs. Burton ilarri- son in an article on Social Life in New York" in Ladies' Home Journal.
 Two men are cited who gro reported to enjoy the revenues from estates of $50. .O00, coo each. Others = between twenty-five and thirty of these envia- ble souls-lie down at night with the agreeable reflection that they may up- osl the morrow, if so disposed, make ducks and dral1es of fortunes rang ing from S5,OOO, 900 to $l00, 100000 each. As to the one-millionaires- and-over," they are quite common in our streets. Naturally enough the dag gle of these facts leads people outside of New York to fancy that the whole of society is in the attitude glowingly de- scribed by Thacl1eray's Vieomte de Florac to express his prosperity: "Sit- ting surrounded by splendors, before golden vases, crowned with flowers, with valets to kiss our feet"
 Entire columns of small print are de- voted to the ieweled crown, the strings of black pearls and threaded diamonds bought from the sales of royalty de- posed or deceascd; the dinner services of gold and porcelain; the orchids, the curtains and tablecloths of priceless lace, the town houses, the country houses, the equipages and the yachts with boudoirs fitted in white and gold and silzcn broideries that would have seemed impossible save to the fevered imagination of writer of cor sair romances twenty years ago. As a keen commentator on American char acter has recently observed; When the material rewards of success are so great the American mind has no choice but to- brood on them" This dis cussion of wealth has, to all appear ance, indeed become our crowning re- proach among other nations who de- clare that while money rules the world we alone make no pretense at yelling our worship of plutocracy.

FOOD FOR ROACHES.
Bugs Which Eat the Gum from tn
 Backs Of Postage Stamps.

Bugs Which Eat the Gum from the
 Backs Of Postage Stamps.
 ''I want to tell you," said man the other day to New York Tribune man. ''about the way in which I was cured of the habit of licking postage stamps when I wished to apply one to letter. 1 always kept few stamps in my desk, and several times when 1 took enc out I observed that the gum was entirely gone from the back of all the stamps, or at least they were bare in patches. Very often it became necessary to ap- ply fresh gum before the stamps would stick to the envelope. I became quite irritated on several occasions when l was in hurry and spoke my mind freely about a government which could not afford to put gum which would not 'evaporate' on it's postage stamps.
 ''Onc day, after coming from the post office, put dozen stamps in my desk and closed the lid. Then I went away and returned an hour or so after ward. Upon opening my desk l saw upon these stamps at least dozen big, nasty-looking reaches, or water bugs. They seemed to be so intent upon some occupation that they did not run away with the almost lightning-like rapidity with which they usually disappeared whenever the desk was opened.
 At first I thought that they were stuck to the stamps, but upon observing a little closer, I saw that they moved about, and I was finally convinced that they were eating the gum from the backs of the stamps. By placing a large reading glass so as to magnify the reaches, I observed that they se- creted a saliva on the gum and when it became soft they seemed to suck it off. Little bare spots appeared on the stamps, and these spots gradually grew larger, until the stamps had the appear ance of those from which I had imag- ined the gum had e7aporated. l must have watched the reaches at work for half hour, and at the end of that time they had removed nearly all the gum from the stamps. Then they went away, presumably in search of richer fields.
 ''Since that time, you may be sure, l never touch my tongue to postage stamp, and it almost nauseates me to see anyone else do it."

White Ants in Central Australia.

A traveller in central Australia has discovered that the surface of the country has been greatly changed by what may appear at first thought g. ridiculous agency-the white ants. On plain and in thicllets their nests are so numerous that it is difficult to drive among them. The clay with which the nests are built is. when cemented with resinous matter, as hard as brick. and when the nests fall to pieces they form clay flats, almost inpervious to water and not easily cut up by traffic.

Preparlnc Opium from the Poppy.

A Boston merchant makes some reVe- lstions that will not make things very pleasant for opium users. ''The process of preparing opium from the poppy, as practiced in India and Persia to-day, said he, 'is very nearly the same as was employed eighteen hundred years ago. As the capsules mostly abound in the narcotic juice, it is from these the opium is procured. A few days after the fall of the flower, men and women proceed to the fields and make horizontal in cisions in the capsule, being careful not to cut too deep, so the juice does not es- cape into the capsule. A white juice exudes and appears ia the form of a tear upon the edges of the incision, which is allowed to remain twenty-four hours, when it is seraped of and col lected in smaller vessels and beaten, being moistened with saliva, only one tear being obtained from single plant "

EMBARRASSING, BUT FUNNY.

He Had to Explain That His Leg Was
 False.
 "A cork leg is no end of a bore" said the man who Gnped to q Washington Post writer. ''Just think of it. I was at a dinner party the other night, and it was my happy lot to have a most charming damsel fall to my share at the feast We conversed most pleas antly through the oysters and the soup, but when the fish came on she became silent and seemed unaccountably em- barrassed. To draw her from this mood I redoubled my efforts to please, but in response she only flushed and looked angry. Finally, interrupting me in the midst of little mot which l had composed carefully while dress ing for the dinner, she said indignantly, though sotto voce: Sir, 1 will thank you to stop squeezing my foot! Imag- inc my embarrassment. had been treading upon her toes with my cork foot-of course without knowing it. Could anything have been more inno- cent? Obviously she was not aware that I had cork leg. It is an annoy ing thing to have to explain to a young lady on an occasion of social festivity. Nevertheless I was forced to do so. She accepted the apology and then proceed ed to injure my feelings by Giggling. l was much gratified when, being over taken by 6 convulsivc and ill-suppressed giggle while taking 9 swallow of water, she choked so drcadfully as to excite the sympathetic attention of everybody present could not help feeling sorry 11.+ ;+ ,-,.e,,-+ - homo

steel in Buildings.

In the construction of high buildings steel columns are rapidly driving the cast-iron columns previously used out of the market. It is found that careful inspection throughout the process of manufacture will insure the safety of n steel column, whereas the most care full inspection cannot place the safety of the cast-irou column beyoad question, as important flaws in the metal may be covered Joy a perfect surface. More ever, steel columns are more rigid and unyielding than east-iron ones, Tlieh have much lower limit of elasticity.

Colorado Gold.

Few people know tho real color of gold. as the metal is seldom seen except heavily alloyed, which renders it redder in color than when in it's pure state. The gold found in the. Ural mountains is the reddcst of all in it's natural state; Australian geld is redder than that of California, while gold obtained from the placers is redder than that obtained from quartz. What causes these differ ent colors is one Of the mysteries of Tuetaliurgy.

moTToEs ON cHUacH BELLS.

Curious Inscriptions Copied from tho
 Metal in England. In the NewberY Magazine there is an interesting article on Bell Inscrip- tions." A bell at Bentley, N. H.. is in scribed:
 John Eyer gave twenty pound
 To meca nc a losty sound Several inscriptions on bells are of an amatory character. 4 very common ln- scription is the following, found in Gov entry, Knaresborough, Northampton, and other places:
 Tn wedloclzs bonds all ye who join
 With hands your hearts unite,
 So shall our tuneful tongues combine
 To laud the nuptial rite.
 On coupke of Lincolnshire bells one of 1907 and the other of 1S0S-we have the following: When female virtue weds with manly worth We catch the rapture and we spread it forth. Very often the happy pair arc re- minded of the transitoriness of human existence and of the end of all things. Here is a specimen of this kind of in- scription from Bakewen (179S):
 When men in Hymen's bands unite
 Our merry pta,s produce delight;
 But when Death goes his dreary rounds
 We send forth sad and solemn sounds. A very suggestive inscription is that on the bell at Hough-on-the-Hill, Lin colnshire Itis dated 1888, and runs as follows:
 When you do hear this mournful sound, Prepare yourself for underground.
 Each bell in peal at St. Michaefs Coventry, if we are to judge from the notices, had a special use of it's own. Thus No. was evidently the work mems bell:
 ring at six and let men know
 When to and from their work to go. No. : was the bell for summoning worshipers to church: ring to sermon with lusty bombe, That all may come and nonc may stay at home No. was the fire bell, of which, too. we have a specimen in the church at Sherborne:
 Lordl ouench this furious flame,
 Arise, run. put out the same.
 One bell in All Saints, Northampton, says:
 mean to make it understood
 That though I'm little yet I'm good. Whilst another at St. Ives says: Arise and go about your business. Running inscriptions are not often to be met with. The following, found at Towchester, North Hants, may be held as belonging to this class:
 Pull on. brave boys Pm metal to the back, But will be hanged before crack.

THERE WIRE GIANTS IN THOSE DAYS
Some EInrmous Human Creatures WHO
Odce Walked the T. lrth.

In one of his recent lectures Prof. j.
4. Williams alludes to the discovery
OF an enormous lizard eighty feet in
length. The professor infcrs Gas no
living specimen of that magnitude has
been fOund) that the species which it
represents has become degcnerated.
The verify OF his position he endeav
ors TO enforce by an alluSion to the
well-knOwn existence of human giants
in Olden times. The following is the
list upon which this singular hypothesis
is based:
A giant exhibited in R9ucn in 1880,
Prof Williams says, measured nearly
eighteen feet in height.
Gorapius once saw L girl of II years
who was ten feet high.
The giant Galabra, brought from
Arabia to Rome during the reign of
Ciaudius Cesar. was ten feet high
Fannum. who lived in the time of
Eugene H., measured IL feet inches
in height.
Chevalier Scrog, while exploring
cavern in the Peak of Tcneritfe, found
Il skull which must have belonged to
man at least fifteen feet high. 1t con-
tanned sixty perfect teeth of monStrous
size.
The giant Ferregus, slain by Or
landy, the nephew of Charlemagne.
was twenty-eight feet high and so
heavy that no horse could be found
that was strong enough to bear him.
In 1914 the tomb of a giant was
opened at St. German who must have
been at least thirty feet high during
life
As late as 1850 Il human skeleton
nineteen feet long was discovered at
Roueu. France. The skull, which was
perfect with the exception of the under
jaw, held over a bushei of wheat.
In 1921. near the castle of Dauphine,
a monstrous tomb was discovered. 1t
was 50 feet long, 10 wide, and s high.
The inscription. "Kintoochus Rex"
was cut in the hard, gray stone The
skeleton was found entire 10 1-2 feet
long, 10 feet across the shoulders, and
feet from the breast-bone to the back.
The vicinity of Palermo, Italy, has
yielded three remarkable human skee-
tons, one in l4l0, one in 1916, and the
last in 1900. The first was 81, tire sec
ond 80. and the third 81 feet in height.
In 1915 skeleton was dug up near
Mazrino. Sicily. the skull of which was
as large a. common wine cask. Each
of the teeth weighed seven ounces

HOW TO SUCCEED

This is the great problem of life
which few satisfactorily solve Some
fail because of poor health, others,
want of luck, but the majority from
deficient grit-want of nerve They
are nervous, irresolute, changeable,
easily get the blues and "take the
spirits down to keep the spirsits up"
thus wasting money, time, opport-
unity and nerve force. There is
nothing like the Restorative Nervine,
discovered by the great specialist, Or.
Miles. TO cure all nervous diseases,
as headache, the blues, nervous pros
tration, sleeplessness, neuralgia, St.
