Shaving by Machinery.

Shaving man in twenty five seconds
is a feat deserving of the highest praise
and reward by all such as value their
time. The feat has been rendered easy
of performance by the construction of a
shaving machine of wood, reported to
have been made by one Melchoir Farkas,
convict in the penitentiary of the city
of Szegedin, in Hungary. Farkas was
put to labor in the cabinet-making shop
Of the prison, and, taking to his work
with will, he soon displayed great in
ventive ingenuity. With his machine
he is said to have shaved all the inmates
of the prison, nearly one hundred and
fifty in number, within less than an
hours time. The report fails to state,
however, to what extent the shaving by
machinery did or did not succeed in
giving comfort to the sufferer in the
chair.

To raise the hat properly is something
of an art. The proper thing is to raise
the hat above the head and bow slightly,
moving the hat forward as the head in.
clines. Or one can also take the hat be-
low the head and bow slightly over it,
but the first is the more graceful saluta-
ton. Merely to uncover the head with
out bowling is somewhat military in its
method, but it does not appear to convey
the same degree Of respect. To merely
touch the hat is not much better than a
simple nod, and to jerk the hat down to
the waist in line parallel with the body
Is an insolence which deserves a kick
whenever a young mans bumptiousness
leads him to such monkey shines. 1t is
needless to say that proper salutation
should always be smilingly made, and
that the smile should not come soquickly
as to appear to be only grin, nor depart
80 soon as to seem to have been sum
moned by an effort.

GREAT MEN AID SLEEP.
Natures sweet Restorer the Boon Of
Able Minds.


"The habit of great men in the matter
Of sleep forms an interesting subject of
inutiry, " said Mr.. f. w. Jacobs, of Bos
ton, at one of the hotels recently, "and I
believe such an inquiry would show that
those who have made the greatest mark
in the worlds history have always taken
it in abundance There is a popular be-
lief that Napoleon took only four or five
hours rest, but to my mind the theory
has grown out Of the desire Of his admir-
ers to show that in this matter, as in all
others, he differed from his fellows. AS
q matter Of fact, it was impossible to tell
exactly how long he slumbered, but it is
certain that, like the great generals in
our own civil war, he availed himself Of
every opportunity 20 seek the greatest Of
all means Of relief from fatigue. Even
when considering his plans on the occa-
sion OF the greatest event OF his military
career the battle Of Waterloo, the hour
left him before the decisive moment ar
rived was occupied with snooze, which
he took with deliberation, after giving
instructions to one OF his aids to arouse
him at the given time So great, indeed,
was his love for a nap that his most
trusted companions in arms always
showed regard for his feelings on the
subject by never disturbing him. Ma
poeon's case is only that of most mill
tary heroes and Of most great men.
Gladstone rarely takes less than seven
hours sleep. Whenever he is prepar'
ing for great effort in the House OF
Commons he always likes short after
noon siesta. Bismarck has displayed a
similar habit on the occasion Of the most
fierce parliamentary debates. When all
night sittings were common Parnell
would 60 to his hotel, seek his bed and
leave instructions with one Of his col
leagues to have him aroused whenever
crucial point was reached. There are
only few examples of the great men
who have shown their thorough appre-
citation of that great boon which 'knits
up the raveled sleeve of care. st Louis

A e ~.tIeman was trying to talk with
neighboring town the other day over
the long distance phone, and was seek
ing little information that was current
on the streets of the town. Gould any
ooIy be found who would go out and
pick it up? The young man at the dis
can't phone was disinclined TO accommo-
date without stating the reason why.
and finally the help of Utica "Toll-
BOARD" was implored. The conversation
between "Toll-board" and the distant
town was quite interesting.
Just step out on the street" she
told him. and ask the first man Oh
woman you meet. :"
II can't" he replied, "as there's no ono
here to watch the store,
"Oh, is that all?" said Toll-board.
"Well you run right along, and I'll watch
the store for you"
The young man went, and Toll board
kept her word by keeping her ear to the
receiver at Utica, forty miles from the
scene.

She Wrote "LittIe Drops"
Here is brief account of the woman
who wrote the little verso:

who wrote the little verse:
Little drops of water.
Little grains of sand
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land.
Julia A. Carney is now about seventy
years of age. She lives near Galesburg,
ILL., with her grown-up sons.
The writer recently asked her for a
portrait of herself to accompany this
sketch.
"For nearly fifty years, she replied.
with the utmost good nature. Il have
given one answer to hundreds of such re-
quests every year, and that has been, and
must always be No
"'Little Drops" she continued, "was
written by me merely as class exercise
when l was member of the teachers
class in photography in the old fremont
Temple, in Boston, in 1915.
My published poems have been before
the public for tifty-five years. Many Of
these were written under my maiden
name, which was Julia A. Fletcher, and
still more of them were written under
various assumed names. l have never
held to any special nom de plume, using
whatever happened to strike my fancy
at the moment.
"My sons object nowadays to my do
ing any work at all, and seem to think it
is time for me to rest. So l suppose
that am, practically, out of literature
for good"
Mrs. Carney seems to regard the littls
verse with which her name will always
be associated very lightly, deeming il
rather an accident of composition. 1t is
gratifying to her, however, in her old
age, to know that its quaint philosophy
has worked itself into the child-lore OF
every country on earth, and that almost
every person of less than forty or fifty
years of age in this country can even
now recall its jingle as Synonymous with
their school days.
She has apparently many more years
of life before her yet, and her mind is az
clear to-day as it was when the famous
little jingle first ran through it.

HydrOphobia Patients from Danville, Va

HydrOph0bla Patients from Danville, va.
Ten hydrophobia patients from
North Danville, who left their home
Saturday night arrived at the Pasteur
Institute in N. 7. city on Sunday af-
ternoon.
Among them are Mr.. and Mrs. James
E. Lee, with two children ,out ten
and twelve years old; a young ,aan and
five more young children, ranging from
seven to fourteen years. Of the seven
children five are boys and two girls.
A despatch from that city says that
if it had not been for one little, appar-
emily insignificant dog, skye terrier
puppy barely, six months old, the ten
Danville residents would not now be in
this city, and TWEEN 5y-three other per
sons, bitten in the same town and by
the same dog, would not be making
preparations to come on to the Pasteur
Institute for treatment.
The recent death of one of the bitten
persons, seven-year-old son of Mr..
Lee, has been the primary cause of the
exodus of hydrophobia suspects. GUSTS
Lee wa the name of the little fellow
who has been the first to fall a victim
to the bite of the pet skye terrier. He
died last Friday after suffering untOl d
agony from what DIR. Anderson be-
lieves to have been genuine hydro
phobia.

Cleveland on Hog Island.

Cleveland is still on Hog Island (now
called Broadwater Island) engaged in
shooting ducks and other games. A
despatch dated Exmore, Va, Nov. 2oth,
says
This afternoon Mr.. Cleveland went
out on the beach for the purpose OF
hunting snipe, but met with an acct
dent which necessitated his return to
the cottage. In attempting to cock his
ouu the President elect hurt his thnmb.
The wound was not in the least serious,
but quite painful.
Mr.. Terrell, president of the Broad
water Club, who is by profession a sur
geon, dressed the injured thumb and
Somewhat alleviated the pain.
Mr.. Cleveland to-day received a tele-
gram from Mrs. Cleveland denying that
She had been injured by runaway
while out driving. The dispatch came
| at the time he was reading an account
of the alleged accident, and he was at
once relieved from all apprehension re-
garding his wife's safety.
Nothing is talked about on the island
save Mr.. Cleveland, and everything he
saws or does is treasured up with de
light. to be retold many times during
the long days and nights of winter ano
spring. WELL" say they, u never

far as to declare that in all their live

than Iur. Cleveland does. Over on thu
mainland the people are as ready t.

brand as are the islanders.
