SHAVED HER HUSBAND.

How a Baltimore Lady Raised Money to
Assist In Improving Church Property.
The ladies of Memorial Protestant
Episcopal Church of the Holy Comforter
are industriously working to improve
the church property. Some time ago
they got together, and after discussing
ways and means each pledged herself to
raise a certain sum of money within two
months. The time having expired, a
meeting was held Tuesday night to re-
late experiences and to learn the result
of the various undertakings. Each lady
returned her card with a larger sum
than she pledged herself for.
The methods used to raise the money
were almost as varied as the numbers
of the cards. One lady made and sold
soup, the profit from which supplied
her with money to redeem her pledge,
Another sold cakes another candy, and
another made and sold dresses. One lady
adopted novel plan to raise the prom
ised money. She has not only strong
nerves and steady hand, but husband
who has great faith in her, for he has
allowed her to shave him and paid
her the price which he usually paid his
barber. The report does not say any
thing about the condition of his face
after the two months had passed. By
the united efforts of the ladies large
sum was realized, which will be used
to renovate the church. Baltimore Sun.

A PROBLEM IN eEesWAx.
Men of Science Puzzled by the Deposit or

Men of Science Puzzled by the Deposit on
the Shore of the North Pacific.
The beeswax found in large quanti-
ties on Nehalem beach has from time
to time for years past attracted the at.
tention of the curious and enlisted the
inquiry of scientists. The generally ac-
cepted theory that in some prehistoric
that place is frequently disturbed by
some less probable surmise for time,
and after exciting some speculation and
comment drops out of sight. The latest
of these comes from Mr.. Odlum, who,
in connection with the department of
archaeology of British Columbia col
lege, is collecting data from which he
proposes to show that the Indians of the
Pacific coast are descendants Of certain
Asiatic races. He desires to know
whether the wax found at Nehalem is
actual beeswax or mineral wax, hoping
to forge a missing link in his chain Of
evidence by means of information upon
that point
1t has been shown by careful scientific
analysis that the wax is of mineral ori-
gin, but it may be said in this connec-
tion that the substance is to all appear
ance genuine beeswax; that this appear
ance is corroborated by the faint, sub
tie odor of beeswax, which fingers
around the storm beleaguered specimens
that have been from time to time
brought up from the beach, and that no
one from tasting it could tell that the
piece sampled was not identical with
that surreptitiously bitten from the yel-
low, thread marked ball which was q
part of the furnishing of his mothers
workbasket in his boyhood More than
this, the wing of bee has been found
imbedded in the wax, furnishing ire
futable evidence of the true nature of the
substance.
The Pacific coast Indians may bee
scendants of an ancient Asiatic race,
but it is not likely that any more con-
elusive proof of this will ever be devel-
oped by the most painstaking research
than that which this little brown bees
wing furnishes of the fact that the Ne
halem beeswax is beeswax. How it came
there will probably never be known def
initely until the secrets of the unremem-
bered ages are rescued from the tomb
of time and incorporated in the written
history of the days that were, but now
are not Practical people are not look
ing for an occurrence of this kind; hence
they are prepared to accept the evidence
of their senses i'll regard to the nature
of this mysterious deposit in the sands
of the seashore and to abandon attempts
that are more than likely to prove fu-
tile to discover how and when the bees
wax, fantastically nodded and curious
ly stamped, voyaged thither and was
thrown upon the beach. Portland Ore

A Boston Fad.

One of the luxuries of very recent
birth is the physician for the hair. In
Boston he is one of the most popular OF
the medical fraternity in town, and
woman can hardly be in the fashionable
set without falling into the hands OF
this really charming man. If she goes
TO the most fashionable hairdresser and
shampooer in town, it will not be even
her second visit which will make her
acquainted with what the scalp special
list can do for her hirsute adornment,
and if she meets the fashionable doctor
first her vsiit to the hairdresser and
shampooer is only deferred. 1t makes
no difference whether she begins with
the doctor or the shampooer-she is sure
to see the other at once. Boston Jour

A SMOOTH ENGLlSHMAN.

A Specimen of the Scamps who Slip Into

A young Englishman, "of good fam
ily," Of course-all Englishman are
has been detected i'll stealing right and
left from prominent New York families
who had received him ON terms of in
timacy. The funny part of the business
is that the young Englishman was a self
confessed thief in his own country, had

York people and been shipped over here
IN order that he might make living.
Els name is withheld out of considera-
tion for the families with whom he has

tired with a choice collection of scarf
pins, silverware and substantial wad
of greenbacks, which will keep him un.
til he finds another opportunity to re-
plenish his stock.

few remarks as to how these foreign

low"
Hes nice looking. You may bring
him to my box if you choose. -
So Cremorne, the scamp, is duly
passed on from one family TO another,
no one knowing a thing about him, or
caring, for that matter, so long as he is
presentable and a novelty. He may have
got his first introductions through acci-
dent, mistake or chance acquaintance
Oh shipboard 1t matters not. He is
soon in the swim, and being an iron pot
is very apt to get the best of the earth

A Remarkable Feat In Surgery Performed

At the Bicetre hospital, In Paris, the

in a state of utter helplessness. While he
was in the cells another drunkard, me-
chanical engineer named Machant, was
brought I'm in state bordering ON delir-
ium tremens Machant was In terribly
excited state, and he attacked his fellow
prisoner with extraordinary ferocity,
striking him, and, horrible to relate,
biting of both his ears.
When he came TO himself, Machant
became very penitent and asked to be
taken to the bedside of his victim, who
was now in the Bicetre hospital, in or
der to ask his forgiveness DIR. Landry,
who was there, said:
"Should you like to give him back
his ears?"
Certainly" said the man.
"Then, said the doctor, "let me cut
q couple OF small slips of flesh from
your arm, and it can be done" T"
The man consented, and the doctor

ROGER DRURYS TREE.
Planted by the Boy, 1t Furnished the Boards
to Make the Mans Coffin.

Fifty years ago Roger Drury of Web
ster county, KY, then 10 years old,
planted the stone of a cherry that he
had eaten on the farm of his father. 1t
took root and in few years became a
prolific tree and was known by the fam
lily as Rogers plant" From year to
year the lad collected and sold the prod
uct, invariably boarding the money re-
ceived, even after he had attained man
hood, was married and had children of
his own, who aided in the management
of the farm bequeathed by his father.
Last summer, i'll his sixtieth year,
Roger Drury's health declined and be-
came seriously impaired, and at the
same time the cherry tree manifested
unmistakable evidences of decay, when
the old man had it cut down and sawed
into boards, from which he had his cof-
fin constructed, for utilization when the
final summons came: Three weeks ago
he was compelled to resort to his bed,
when he sent for an undertaken and
gave final directions for the coffin S
trimmings, expiring shortly afterward.
The funeral expenses were betrayed from
the fund saved by the sale of the cher
ries of the tree planted in his boyhood
time. Henderson (Ky.) Correspondent
