The Light of the Future.

II seems hard to believe that in q very
few years the incandescent lamp. which
we now regard as in many respects an
almost perfect light. will be regarded
a. crude makeshift which mankind
availed itself of while science stood on
the threshold of the discovery of the
perfect luminant. Mr.. Tesla has shown
in his experiments an ideal form OF
electric lighting which would transcend
in luxury and convenience our present
system of electric lighting by incandes-
cent lamps as far as the latter transcends
the oil lamps and tallow dips used by
our near ancestors.
Every drawing room would become
an electric field in a continual state of
rapidly alternating stress. in which the
occupants would live, experiencing no
unpleasant effect whatever, while vacu.
Gus tubes of phosphorescent globes and
tubes, without care or attention, would
shed soft diffuse light Of color and in
tensity arranged to suit the most lux
urious fancy.
Mr.. Teslas watchword is that the
phusphorescent glow is the light of tho
future. He hints at artificial aurora
spreading from the SUBMITS of towers
or hitherto undreamed of height. and he
has mt all events got as far as produc-
ing in the air at atmospheric pressure a
glowing plane bounded by two rings
about foot and thirty inches in diam
eter respectively. Whether all his Wis
ions will be realized remains to be
proved. There is no doubt that they
are guiding him right.-Chicago Inter

He Was u Good Shot.

CHATTANOOGA. Tenn, Jan.
story of a singular
tragedy in Buchanan county.
Va, comes through a reliable
source. Charles Carroll. a
moonshiner, who was being
persued by deputy marshals,
concealed himself in an aband-
oned cabin, barred the door,
and stood peeping out through
a knot hole. The posse came
along the road and began
talking on the edge of the
clearing. too far away to be
heard in ordinary conversa-
ton. A bet was made and
taken that one of the party
could not shoot through a
knot-hole in the door. A Win
chester was levelled and fired,
and something was heard to
fall inside the cabin. The off
GERS rushed to the spot and
found writhing in death the
man for whom they were
hunting.

Don't Talk Too Much.

Customers who show by their manner
that they prefer to be alone with their
thoughts while under the razor are never
annoyed, says an exchange.
A great deal has been said about the
talkativeness Of BARRIERS, but il those who
try to be funny ON that subject We're
better posted they would find a reason
for it other than the mere loquacity of
the barber.
1t is infinitely easier to handle a Gus
toner who is interested in conversa-
ton. This is particularly true Of a
nervous or fidgity man, who. if the oper-
alton goes on in silence. becomes rest
less and growls ut the razor, or objects
to the way in which he is being shaved.
The talk takes his mind away from his
face. SO that he is often surprised to find
the work finished when he thought it
scarcely begun.
A barber never gets into an argument
with his customer. His opinions veer
around like u weather vane to suit the
particular man upon whom he may be
operating ut the time. The conversation
dodge is merely one of the tricks of the
trade. OF course there are few young
er members of the tonsorial fraternity
Who use little judgment in talking to
than their fellow BARRIERS when they get
setback from some irascible tempered
victim of their gabble.-Exchange.

THE PRICE OF SUCCESS.

In these days of hurry and
strife for the first places in
the race Of life it is even more
important than in former
years that a man be dilligent
in his business and look after
its every detail closely. In
some respects it may be hard
er for young man, or, in fact,
any man in business. to make
a great success, because OF
the amount of competition
that has TO be met. 1t needs
men who will not give up for
anything to battle against this
competition. Close attention
must be given to the slightest
details. and everything has to
be done carefully. The cost
must be measured in every
transaction. Application is
necessary if you would attain
the best results. Look out for
the little things. They do not
seem to count at the time, but
every item helps to count up
on either side of the balance
sheet. BY that it is not meant
that one should be close, but
he should be careful. All lines
of business must be run sys-
tematically in order to attain
the best results. 1t will not do
to let one thing after another
pile up until one is literally
showed under. 1t is best to go
through with everything in a
systematic manner. Take up
each item in its regular order
and work while you work. Re-
creation that is taken when
you are conscious that you
have done the work OF the day
faithfully is always sweetest.
Always be on the lookout for
chances to improve methods
in business and keep up with
the times in all lines. There
are new articles coming up
continually. Some of them
possess merit and some do
not. 1t is a study by itself to
find out which are the best to
handle. Much may be gained
or lost in this respect. There
are numerous ways in which
business must be watched.
One must love the business
he is engaged in. and seek to
make it all that it should be.
The mark of excellency can
not be placed too high. Re-
ward for his labors is sure to
come to the diligent man.
