A Queer Business In China.

In China a baldheaded man of almost
any age a within the space of As hours
be transformed into a blooming youth,
as far as the hair is concerned; or a
beardless youth of IS can be made to
look like 60 within the same length of
time by having planted upon his face a
genuine gray beard four feet long; or an
old maid without eyebrows a be trans
formed into a girl of sweet 16 by being
fitted out with a beautiful pair of brand
new eyebrows or eyelashes of any color.
1t is not a very costly operation in any
case, although it is a little painful, but
then as it is only temporary, what mat
ter does it make to have beauty restored
to you if you do have to suffer a little
pain for only "a hours Or even 49 hours.
Without it you may have to be poor and
homely all your life.-Wong Chin Foo

NIinnie's Yearly Expenses.

Minnie can afford to marry a poor
man." said a friend of Minnie's mother,
speaking of the daughters evident liking
for al ~impecunious young lawyer.
"That is just where you are mistak-
en-" answered Minnie's mamma. "She
has $4,000 a year of her own, and she
spends every penny of it upon her clothes.
Her dresses last year cost about 81, O00, her
hats and bonnets about $500, her lingerie
another $500, and besides there are her
Jackets, gloves and all the other Access
series of the toilet. And she is no ex-
ception in her world; most Of her friends
spend quite as much and many a great
deal more. No wonder hat young men
cannot afford to marry nowadays and
only rich girls are in demand, though
if men did but know tit is more ex-
pensive to marry an heiress than a girl
who has been accustomed to manage
with very little."-New York Tribune.

The English Language.

Professor Vambery has been lecturing
on the Fashion of Languages" before
the Buda-Pesth English club. English,
he said, may 10Y be called the most
fashionable language in all the five parts
of the world. 1t began to spread in the
first decades of the century through Eng
lish literature, and in Asia by means of
accelerated communication. Steamers
were the wings of the English language
in the far east, and it's spreading from
India and the straits settlements to Chi
ma and Japan is simply miraculous.
There is no ex~aggeration in saying
that the number of English speaking
Asiatics amounts today to 5000, GOO; that
of Europeans to more than 900, 900, and
these, added to the 1875, OOO, 900 Anglo
Saxons, give a total of English speaking
men and women of 100, 900, 900. Should
the increase continue in the same proper
ton, the middle of next century will
have 200, 0O0, 900 English speaking per-
sons, and the English will have no rival
in the world besides the Chinese.
Phonetically English is unsuitable for
the foreigner, and the lecturer declares
he always suffered acute pain in the jaws
when speaking publicly in England and
trying to initiate genuine English. The
phonetic difficulties are, however, amply
rewarded through the expressiveness, the
rare precision, vigOr and exactness in
which English surpasses al other Euro
pean tOngues.-LOndon News.

Making Diamonds.

The microscopic diamonds made by NJ.
Henri Moissan are net the first real
diamonds made by the chemist. Some
years ago MIR. Hannay of Glasgow sue
eeeded in making a few small gems, and
another Glasgow chemist not long ago
announced that he was making expert
ments in this direction and had obtained
promising results.
Moissan, however, wa the first to form
a gem by means of the high temperature
of the electric furnace, though the idea
Of doing so is not exactly novel. MOissan
obtains a temperature of from 5000 to
1900 degrees centigrade in his electric
crucible and fuses iron OF silver, which
absorbs the carbon of sugar. When the
used metal cools, part Of the carbon
separates from it again in the form of
crystals, black or whitehall is to say,
black diamond or carbonate and Ordi-
nary, clear diamond.
The Capitalization seems to be facili-
tated by pressure, which is produced by
the expansion of the sugar carbon as it
cools. The diamond crystals were ex-
ceedingly minute and quite unfit for
jewelry. Moreover, the process is very

The Modern Shave.

The nose pulling barber is hard to
find now unless one goes into the cheap
shops" said George D. Hamilton OF
Memphis. There was a 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 f~astidious
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 a missing link be-
tween the new and the old tonsorial
schools. All the disagreeable 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 or who get a shave in a Scent
shop."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Getting Measured For a Gun.

A fact which is not generally known
outside of sporting circles is that a gun
ner who seeks to do the best work he is
capable of requires to be measured for
his gun in the same way as he would be
for his suit of clothes. To facilitate this
operation, a new adjusting gun has been
devised. The bend and castOff of the
gun are adjusted by means of screws,
and the points of each are placed in
grooves running parallel to the line Of
the butt. The length of the butt is also
adjusted by screws in the heel. The
length and bend of the stock can in this
way be regulated to the length of neck
and arm of the shooter, as well as to the
various special requirements to which
his style of shooting may give rise

was as manifest as when most busy in
the accumulation of the property.

The Population of the Moon.

There is plenty of authority for be-
lieving 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 amplified
this theory by giving him a woman who
had been caught churning butter on
Sunday.-New York Telegram.
