In the lecture before the American
Philosophical Society in Philadelphia
Tuesday, President Fraley referred to
the newspaper as the most important
invention of modern times He said
zone Of the greatest possible object les

a great marvel how rapidly the notes Of
the reporter can be written out, set up
in type made into a matrix and a plate

which will likely have a baneful inhu-

the most heated contgoversialists ON

"The nose pulling barber is hard TO
find now unless one goes into the cheap
shops" said George d. Hamilton Of
Memphis. "There was time not so
many years ago when a barber would
take you by the nose if he had to shave
your upper lip and almost pull the pro-
tuberance up by the roots. A friend Of
mine told me he went into a shop once,
and the barber asked him if he would
have a thumb or a spoon shave, meaning
thereby that if my friend was fastidious
about having the barber jab his thumb
in the corner Of his mouth to extend his
jaw he would use a spoon for that pur-
pose. But those days are gone Even
the talking barber is q missing link be-
tween the new and the old tonsorial
schools. All the disagfeeable features Of
a shave have disappeared, and the opera
ton is now smooth and pleasant. The
only people who find anything disagree
able in the process are those who shave
themselves orwho get a shave in 5-cent
shop. st. Louis Globe-Democrat

There is plenty Of authority for be-
leving that there is a man in the moon;
in fact, there is authority for believing
that there are women and other animals
there. Dante declares that Cain was
banished TO the moon, and that he can
be seen there at any time. Chaucer de-
clares that the man in the moon was
guilty Of larceny, and that he carries a
thornbush. Shakespeare loads him with
thorns and gives him a dog. Accord
ing TO the general version, he was ban
ished there for gathering sticks on Sun
day, and the Germans have amplifed
this theory by giving him a woman who
had been caught churning butter on

Lieutenant Schwatka described the wal
rms as huge seals, with upper canine teeth
prolonged into tusl1sn These tusks are
usually from ] to feet in length and
have seen some that were q ( and even 8
feet long. When full grown, the tusl
weighs about five pounds Their length does
not seem TO be dependent upon either the
age or size of the animal, as ofJsn young,
small walrus viii have long tusks. The
average weight OF the animal is about n ton,
and ours weighed between 200 and 900
pounds One was 10. the other l3 feet long.
They attain, however, a length Of from -
20 Is feet, and half as much around the fore
flippers. The hippcrs are some feet long
and capable when extended of covering q
considerable area and Of forcing the ami
NAL rapidly through the water
Walrus also use these fippers to protect
wounded comrades or to curry their of
spring. The inside Of these paws is covered
by a horny skin that serves TO protect their
palms in scrambling around over the rough
ice. The walrus fippers, when properly
cooked, are considered great delicacy by
the EsSimos The flavor of the fipper IL
very similar TO that Of the coarser clans.
The meat did not seem as delicate as that

strips for their harpoon lines. It is from /

The formidable tusks are used as weapons

A Crowd Seen In New York CITY.

We read about the European capitals
treated with the skill Of artists, clothed
with the glamour Of tradition and colored
by the fancy that grows richer with the dis
tance of it's subject But what has London
to show like the daily congestion at the
Brooklyn bridge? What crowds in Paris
are to be measured with this? What Euro
pean city has even one Of the many strange
conditions that produce this scene2 Here
come the elevated railways that carry 150-
600 souls day, the surface vehicles of tho
100000 people of Manhattan, the streets
leading from the densest population in
America, all meeting in one little square,
all pouring out people, and all the people
streaming into great trumpetlike mouth
of iron in order to be shot across hanging
cobweb of metal threads into a city that
has not its mate OF counterpart on earth
Brooklynl II is like a city in some things.
It is vast aggregation Of homes and
streets and shops with a government of its
own. Yet many things it has not got
things with which many a little town
could put it 20 the blush. And every other
city earns its own way, while Brooklyn
works for New York and is paid of like a
shopgirl on Saturday nights. Julian
