Four Years In a Barber Shop.

"It is rather curious fact" said q
prominent local railroad man who sports
a luxurious beard THAT one of the few
occasions of my going to church in re-
cent years is responsible for my growing
this beard. The minister happened in
the course of his sermon to say that a
man spent third Of his time in sleep,
and that one living to the age of three
score and ten would pass 23 years in
slumber. AS the sermon was not par
ticularly interesting one, my mind wan
dered away from it, and began calcu-
lating how much of ones life would
be spent in barber's shop Allowing
a reasonable time for waits and for the
actual process of shaving daily, j
soon discovered that in the years left
to me, if should attain the patriarchal
age of 20, would spend at least four in
a barber's shop. Think of it! Con-
demned to four years in barber's shop!
That settled it, and although that was
10 years ago have never been shaved
since. "-Philadelphia Record

OF SpaSjrkness.


Of Spastrkness.
A gentleman living in metropolitan
suburb was strolling down one of its
streets when he came by chance across
a couple-a man and woman-whom
he Immediately recognized as having
been his fellow passengers in steamer
crossing the channel His "reminiscences
were not of particularly agreeable ma
ture, for he lost no time in getting them
arrested. The tale which he unfolded to
the police commissary was as follows:
The steamer had hardly left the Eng
hsh port EN- route to the shores of France
when he and about 90 other companions
in misery were seized with all the
symptoms of NAL de mer. The only trav-
eler who seemed exempt from suffering
was the man who had been arrested
He paced the deck with the utmost COM
placency, now and then taking from a
bonbon box a lozenge, which he swal-
lowed with apparent satisfaction The
woman in whose company he was met
in Paris acted on the steamer as if she
was perfect stranger to him, and she
seemed indeed to be the greatest victim
of them all So intense was her suffer
ings that the man walked up to her and
offered her one of the lozenges, declar-
ing that they were a sovereign remedy
against seasickness She took one, and
in the course of few minutes said that
she was completely cured, and soon her
fellow passengers beheld her discussing
with considerable relish plate of sand
wiches, washed down by a bottle of
stout.
One after the other they begged the
possessor of the marvellous lozenges to
favor them with one. sit SO happens
that 1 am the inventor" he replied,
land as l have few boxes with me /
shall be most happy to oblige you with
them at the rate of 20 francs each.
The unlucky passengers, whose misery
had in the meantime rather increased
than otherwise, enthusiastically well
coined the offer, and soon all the boxes
were sold, the gentleman from the sub
urbs being the purchaser of one.
But somehow the lozenges had no ef-
feet. Not one Of the buyers was to be
seen calling for stout and sandwiches
and the whole party did not get to the
end of their troubles until they were
once more safely on terra firma. The
suburban gentleman had the lozenges
analyzed, and they were found to be or
dinaIy jujubes Chance had thrown the
couple in his way, and he told the po-
lice commissary that he was quite sure
that they had acted this comedy for the
purpose Of getting money out of their
fellow passengers. The man and the
woman both declared at first that the
suburban one must have mistaken them
for another couple, but afterward they
made full confession. Oddly enough
they had gone to the suburb to inspect
house which they had thought of buy
ing with the proceeds of the sale OF
many boxes of jujube lozenges in nu-
merous passages across the silver streak
when the stormy winds did blow.-Paris

Molecules In Matter.

1t seems difficult undertaking to 40

are composed of independent particles
that are continually in exceedingly rap
id motion. These active molecules are
said to rotate and swing around a GEN.
tral point with such force and rapidity
that they constitute, to all intents and
purposes, q solid mass. Upon being di-
vided they whirl around new center as
rapidly as before, the molecules passing
a given point some millions of times in
a second of time. This theory would at
first glance seem incompatible with the
we'll understood belief in the hardness
and impenetrability of the diamond,
but this is easily explained. The almost
incalculable rate of speed drives the at
oms against the drill or cutting edge
that seeks to penetrate it and dulls it
without permitting it to make the slight
est impression. On this theory it ap-
pears that glass cutting is merely the
bringing together of two bodies consist
ing of molecules moving at different ve-
locities. As matter of course, the most
powerful atoms break up the softer ones,
and so this operation is merely war Of
particles, in which the superior force is

Keep Accounts.

Keeping household accounts is an af-
fair, if not of necessity, still of the great
est wisdom. In comparison with the
small amount of time and labor which
the doing SO employs, the satisfaction
of knowing, at the end Of each year,
how the family funds have gone is the
amplest compensation. One especial sat
isfaction gained from the keeping Of
household accounts is the ability, when
or if the necessity arises, to reduce ex-
penditures ON the outlay for luxuries
and unnecessaries- The money spent for
food, for medicines or for fuel is capa-
BILE Of far less reduction than that used
for amusements, for wages or for cloth

will show at once where expenses can
be lessened is entitled to respectful con-
sideration. Philadelphia Times

The Dutch System.

Professor Peabody, who gives in The
Forum some facts concerning the Dutch
system, says there are no great poor
houses and few ablebodied paupers In
Holland. There is tract Of public land
containing 5000 acres. 1t is divided
into six model farms, and to one Of
these is sent the poor person applying
for public relief. If he voluntarily
serves till he learns agriculture, he is
allowed to rent small farm for him
self and be what is called free farm
er. Every pauper who is thus reclaimed
to honest, regular industry is so much
gain to the state. There is also forced
labor colony, where beggars and va
grants are sent and made to do farm
and other work, whether they want to
or not.
