Shaving the Chinese.

One hundred and fifty million
Cinnamon are obliged by law to
shave, and yet the British manufac-
turcr has never adapted his razor to
tho native requirements, with the re-
suit that the English raZors sent to
China have found no market.
The native article is about as an
tiGuatcd and unCOuth rs tho coins of
the Chinese. Tho handle is nat
ural piece of twig, just rs it Is cut
from the tree, not oven being strip
ped of its bark. y groove is cut into
it; the blade is rivetcd to the end by
means of nail or piece of wire,
which is clnchcd Mt both ends
a piece of iron plato or tubing is
fixed on TO the handle over the Joint
for the purpose of strengthening the
Same. This is rivctcd, and groove
is madc to correspond with that

about rs rough rs the handle, and
the wonder is how the process of
shaving with such an instrument is
effected. london Tit-BitS.

Treasures of the Polar Seas

In 1909 Count ROmanZoff sent Nj.

Laikoff' 5 first island and was amazed
ut tho prodigious stores of fossil

ivory hunters had for 40 years regu-
larly carried away each year largo
quantities of ivory from the island

be not III the least diminished
In about half u milo Hcdenstrom
saw ten tuskS OF elephants sticking
up in the sand and gravel, and q

him To hope that there was an end

The Power of His Eye.

1t is told of Van Amburgh, tho
great lion tanner, that on ono occa-
sion, while in barroom, he was
asked how he gained his wonderful
power over animals. He said:
1T is by showing them that I'm
not in the least afraid of them and
by keeping my ego steadily on theirs
I'll give you an example of the pow
Ter of my eye"
Pointing to loutish fellow who
was sitting near by, he said:
"You see that follow? He's u
clown. I'll mako him como across
tho room to me- and won't say a
word to him" Sitting down, he
fixed his keen, steady eye on the
man. Presently the fellow straight
encd himself up, rose from his seat
and came slowly across to the lion
tanner. When he was close enough,
he drew back his arm and struck
Van Amburgh Il tremendous blow
under the chin, knocking him clean
over the chair, with tho remark,
"You'll stare at me like that again,
Won t you?"-London Standard.

EVELENA BRAY DOWNEY.
She Was the Only Woman whittier, the
Poet, Ever Loved.

Poet, Ever Loved.
The late EvClCna Bray Downcy
would doubtless havC lived and died
unknown TO the world but for tho
fact that tho baChVlurpoct, Whittier,
once wanted TO marry her. Shc was
barely l. years old whom Whittier
first met her at tho HaVCrhill aCad-
omy. ShC was Miss EvClCna Bray
then. Her homo was in Murblohcad.
She was beautiful young girl, with
hazel eyes 'and" Softbrown trcssos,
and the fair complexion and rosy
. chOoES of those girlhood days she re-
tanned rs long as she lived. Tho two
young people formed a strong attach
mcIt for each other from the begin
ming of their acquaintance.
Before Miss Bray left tho academy
she hCd portrait painted of herself
by John Porter, then a popular art
list. Whittier thought the portrait
tho most beautiful nc had over soon.
Miss Bray aftCrward gave it to him,
and for some time after his death it
remained in his homo at AmOSbury.
Recently, however, the executors of
the Amcsbury estate obtained tho
address Of tho original and sent it
to her. 1t L. affirmed by several who
know III =, Bay r.'''..EtClv that the
poet twice asked her to marry him,
and that Shc would have accepted
but for n reason which no one knows
Tho only explanation Sho over gavc
for her refusal to marry Whittier, SO
far as can bO aSCUrtainCd, was given
toa school friend in HaVCrhill, whose
recollection of Evrlcna Bray and
Whittier was very clear.
Still, when she was herself we'll on
the road to So said this friend speak
ing few months ago: II once said
to Evclcna, You wcro too naughty,
too proud, that you refused John
Whittier. No, shc answered, i
think it was only diilidcnco on my
part. But EVclrna was proud and
liked tho good things of the world,
and Whittier, us you know, WAS a
Quaker"
Late in life, when she was past
50, Miss Bray married William Scott
Downcy, an Englishman. - Kate

Story From HawRrden.

Here is n Hawarden story told in
the London New Age: "Once Mr..
Gladstone had been cutting down a
tree in the presence of large con.
course of people, including a num-
Der of cheap trippers. When the
tree had fallen and the prime min
ister and somo of his family who
were with him We're moving away,
there was rush for the chips. One
of the trippers secured a big piece
and exclaimed, Hey, lads, when
dec this shall go in my coffin. Then
cried his wife, shrewd, mothorly
old woman with n merry twinkle in
her eye, sam, my lad, if thou d
worship God as thou worships Glad
stone thou d stand better chance of
going where thy chip wouldna
burn. )"

HOW 1Ae MOLE TUNNELS.

One industrious Little Specimen Bored
One Hundred Fcst In Twenty-Five Hours.
Place tho wriggling and rcStivc
littlO mole upon the ground on n spot
whCrC the ground III not unrCaSOn-
ably hard, - that he may have
fair chauc" for disappearing, and see
what he will do.
Tho instant nc touches the earth
down goes his NOSE, feeling nervous
ly here and there for place TO start
his drill In about one second he
has found n suitable spot. His nose
sinks into the soil as if it were
brad awl, with a half boring and
pushing motion, and in an instant
half your mole : head is buried from
Wow.
Now watch sharply, or he will be
out of sight before you SOC how he
docs it. CpCOmcs his powerful right
foot, sliding close along the side of
his head, straight forward, cdgcwisc,
to the end of his noSC. His five point
cd chiscl cuts the earth vertically
until il reaches rs far forward as his
short roach will let it go. Then,
with u quick motion, he prizes tho
earth Sidowisc from his nOSc and so
makes IN opening.
Instantly tho left foot docs tho
Same thing on tho other sido, and
meanwhile tho gimlct pointed nose
has gone right on Boring.
In five seconds by tho watch his
body is entirely out of sight, and
only his funny tail can be seen. In
three minutes he will tunnel foot
if no is at all in Il hurry to got on in
tho world.
Desiring to learn just how much
tunnCling Il mole can do in known
number of hours, We caught u good
largo specimen and immediately
turned it loose in tho middle of II five
aero field of clover.
Tho grass was SO thin and winter
killed that the ground was practical
~ bare, but not loose like the soil OF
II cultivated field.
Five seconds after tho molc rcCciv,
ed its freedom it had burrowcd out
of sight This may seem past belief,
but tho fact is vOuChcd for by the
official timCkCopcr. Sticking stake
at the starting point, we retired and
left the digger hard at work
The start was made at IL q. m,
and the direction taken was east
ward. BY 6 p. III. the mole had dug
% feet i'll u Zigzag line, but keeping
the Same general direction all the
time and without digging any side
galleries. BY IL n. III. of the follow
ing day tho tunnel had been driver
81 feet farther, with humorous side
| galleries, and four feet had been add
ed at the end next to tho starting
point.
III another hour 10 feet had becl
added mt tho extremity, making G.
foot of main limo and 36L feet o
branches, or u total of 104ls feot O
tunnels dug in % hours.
The bottom of tho tunnels ran very
evonly about four inches below tn,
surface. Sometimes tho hole wa
clliptical in shape, measuring IL,
inches in width by two inches il
height, and sometimes it was trian
gular, measuring two inches eacl
way.
Tho surface of tho ground wa.
usually cracked and raised about M
inch along the course of tho tunnel
