How to whiten tho whIskers.

A farmer in Bucks county, with black hair and mustache and three days growth of snow white whiskers, drop ped into Ninth street barber shop, and i'll tho course of conversation with the loquacious artist it appeared that the farmer had for years shaved himself with a jackknife. He thought that perhaps that had something to do with the pc euliar hirsute contrast, and the barber promptly confirmed his opinion. 1.-The pulling of dull razor on the roots of the whiskers, " said the barber, .'de- stroys Ill short time all the oil and pigment that gives color. Most men have too much regard for their nerves to keep 1t mp long enough to turn the beard entirely white, but many partial ly gray ones are due to that cause. A keen blade improperly handled is equal ly harmful, as a close scrape of the skin results in numberless seed warts, which can only be removed by a surgical oper- ation. ."-Philadelphia Record.

ROBBED BY THEIR GUESTS.

Hotel Keepers Complain of the Continual
 Theft of Small Articles.
 1t is fact we'll known to every hotel and restaurant keeper in the city that people will steal Why they resort to peeulation is mystery, but far great er mystery seems to be wrapped up Ill the class of articles that are stolen.
 Guests who stop at first class hotels and pay their bills in departing have been known scores of times to take with them toilet soap and towels from their rooms. Blankets, sheets. clocks and or naments likewise disappear with the departing transients.
 Nor does the peculation stop at this. Cheap plated trays, cutlery, forks and spoons plainly marked with the names of tho hotels are stolen again and again. This seems strange, for if the articles are used by the thief they bear. of course the indelible evidence oY the guilt of the peculators.
 Sometimes the stolen articles are re- covered, and sometimes they are not. Only recently the proprietor of local hotel advertised repeatedly and offered a large reward for the return of valu- able clock of large size, which had been taken from the hotel and in a manner never discovered. All the advertising was ill vain.
 The late John Hoey once succeeded by shrewdly worded letter ill recover ing valuable rug which we'll known Now York woman had taken with her. As soon as its absence was noted from the Hollywood Mir. Hoey caused to be written to the woman 6 letter which read substantially as follows:
 s.DEAR MADAM = In packing your clothing your maid by mistake included the Turkish rug which was in your room Kindly have it returned. {"
 The woman had no maid, which fact was well known to herself and to Mx. Hoey. The assumption that the theft was not hers accorded her an opportuni- ty to return the stolen article. which she did at the earliest possible moment, sending with it at the same time note apologizing for the stupidity of the maid.

 Dress oI Giontenegrm women.
 The dress of the women throughout Montenegro varies but slightly. and as no distinction of rank exists the only difference between the garments of the rich and the poorer classes consists in the superior fineness of the materials used, or in the quantity or quality of the ornaments. Their dress is simply a long flowing white camicia, girdled by black sash. Black and white are the national oolors of the Montenegrins Some of the women wear heavy leathern girdlo set with three or four rows of large carnelian stones, some times fastened ill front by massive antique silver clasp. A simple piece of black cloth is ,n addition worn on the head by the older matrons Montenegro Is everywhere mountainous As q pre- caution against invasion there are no roads, and carts arc unknown.

treasure Sustained by Divers.

Have you any idea of the enormous pressure sustained by submarine divers while plying their dangerous vacations? We will take 100 feet as the average dep that which such tradesmen work and use that as basis of calculation At Q depth of 100 feet, which does not seem excessive whom we consider the fact that there are spots in the oceans which are approximately five miles deep, the pres sure on the divers body is A pounds for each square inch of surface. Let us see what this means. The average man of 158 pounds has body of sufficient proportions to present 12 square feet of surface to the pressure of the waters. This means that the ordinary diver must work in place where his body is sub jeeted to pressure of 38 tons. Nor is this all. For every 2714 inches of depth descended below the 100 foot line which we havo adopted as basis of ealcula- tion there must be added ono pound pressure to each square inch of the di- yer's bodily surface. Persons who think that divers regularly descend to the bot tom of the oceans i'll the deepest places will probably be surprised to learn that the greatest depth to which man has as yet attained is only 210 feet St. Louis Republic

 MAsCoUTAH, Ills., Oct. 12.--Henry Arnold and Mrs. Louisa Hodo were married at Smithton last night. The groom is 8 widower of 72 years, and tho bride widow of 60.
 The groom achieved some notoristy lately on account of peculiar law suit in which he ia defendant. The plaintiff is Louis Timmig, who alleges that he was employed to secure wife for Ar mold.

 According to his statement he found 6 woman at Pincknsyville who was will ing to marry Arnold, but the latter ruined his own prospects by flirting with other widows. Timmig presented bill for $l0O which Arnold refused to pay. A sympathetic jury allowed Timmig s55 for his services and Arnold promptly took m appeal to she St. Clair county court, where the case rests at present.
