FOUGHT FOR THE HAIR.

A Barber and His Customer Stand Up
 for Individual Rights.
 "Now you have cut my hair" said the shorn countryman to the barber, kindly collect the hair from the floor. wrap it up in paper and hand it to me-"
 ''I shall do no such thing" the bar Der replied, firmly. "That hair belongs to me. I cut it off, didn't 1? That makes it mine."
 The customer got excited, says the New York World.
 Don't you know," he exclaimed hot ly, "that under the common law of the land anything that grows upon my head is as much mine as are the con tents of the head? In every copyright case it has been settled that the prod uct of mans brain is his. Don't you know that?"
 Now was the barber's turn to get mad.
 If hair is the product of your brain, he shouted, ''I guess it's about all it does produce. What do you want the blamed hair for? I don't need it my self, but I'm fighting for a principle, and I'd spend my last cent to do you out of that hair"
 ''None of your business what I want it for," howled the countryman. ''Per- haps I need it to stuff pillows with, and perhaps I am wholesale manufac- turer of wigs. That's none of your business. I'll admit that don't need the hair. What then? I'm fighting for principle, too. Gimmo my hair"
 They shook their fists in each others faces. It took a policeman to separate them.
 Such are the ills of life. For these trifles do men wildly battle.

Very Clever Girl

A young woman with a pretty little voice, but with no great possibilities in her singing, has laid out course for herself which is so decidedly shreWd that it may well be worth noting. She devotes herself entirely to Scotch songs, most of them the old ones of Burns or Scott. Now, every listener, except the severest. musical critic whom she could not hope to satisfy in any case, is sentimental and likes to have that sentiment catered to by means of the ear. The singer has taste and wit enough to eschew Annie Laurie" and ''Comin' Thro' the Rye" save ''by re- quest, " when her compliance gives an added charm of kind1iness. She hunts up sweet old tunes and pathetic words and after the most brilliant perform ance of her rivals she seats herself at the piano, and, like the heroine in the lackadaisical novel, she charms her audience by running her fingers over the keys" and singing softly '.sone dear old song" or other. An, that is a very clever girl!

How He Could Tell Whether It Was .
 Boy or Girl.
 When John l.. Sullivan was in Wash ington about year ago he amused crowd of listeners who happened to be of variety intellectually superior to the average crowd of hangers-on who worship the great mans memory for what he was, with an exhibition of att tainments in which, according to Johns idea, brain instead of brawn and fistic prowess plays the better part. He told the age of any man in the crowd who was learned enough to add, substract and divide a series of compound figures, which John furnished, and nine times out of ten hit the mark.
 But one feat which he performed, and in which he believed with the fervor of an idolator, says the Washington Post, goes into the marvellous. It involved the telling whether the frstborn of a given couple was boy or girl. The way that this feat was accomplished was profound secret with the pugilist, but in burst of confidence he disclosed the method to the writer.
 To solve the problem the only neces- sary data are the full maiden name of the mother and the full name of the father. According to Mr.. Sullivan's formula, if, after counting the letters in both names, the sum is an even one, the frstborn is boy, if odd the issue of the union is girl. For example, all the letters in Mary Jane Brown and Hiram Smith form a total of twenty three, an odd number. Result, 9 girl. If this formula is reliable it will serve forecasting purposes as well as the establishment of post-facto results; but no editorial guaranty goes with the pre- ScriptiOn

Turk and Armenian.

The feeling Of the Turks against the Armenians is very bitter now. Talk of massacreing them is very common in the coffee houses of Constantinople. The situation is very critical. We do not know what may turn up before help arrives. We have hopes that Eu- rope is going to do something for poor Armenia. There will never be any peace while the Turk is left in sole or even leading control over Christian subjects. Safety and equality are i'm possible for them under Moslem rule. Joint control by European powers would seem to be the most practicable and beneficial method at present, rath- CT than giving itover to any one power, especially if that be her nearest neigh bOr

somethlng New in windmills.


 The old-time windmill-that tower ing skeleton of ribs and fans with which we are familiar-has recently been improved in a fashion that promises much better reSults-an in- creased rate of power and much greater ease of management. Instead of fans or arms turning over and over, wheel fashion, the conditions are reversed, the axle being perpendicular, and the fans turning from side to side. This arrangement has advantages, in that the machinery can be made stronger, and by an ingeniously contrived set of levers the fans open and close auto matically. This is of great importance, as sudden gale is liable to wreck an ordinary windmill on short notice. With this new device, it is claimed that no matter how rapidly the fans may re- volve, they will catch the wind only at the proper time, the other side opening to give free passage to the air; thus the higher the gale, the higher the rate of speed and the more effective the machinery. It is said that in windy countries enough power can be gener- ated to run a small dynamo. The greatest value of a windmill is in coun- tries where continual pumping Of water is necessary for purposes of irri- gation. A windmill constructed on this new principle costs TO more than the old style, is infinitely more effect i've, less liable to get out of order, and has greater variety of uses than aay heretofore made.

Great Penn,e Shrink

What a fortunate thing it is that great people are apt to shrink on closer acquaintance. A New York lady, hv- ing in modest way, was almost ap- palled when Mrs. Goggles was an- nounced. ''Goodnessl" she said to her self. What can I talk about to Mrs. Goggles? She belongs to so many clubs, reads and studies so many languages, writes for the magazines, and all that. 1 must appear so ignorant and foolish to her" She nerved herself, however, and went to meet her guest. And then the formidable Mrs. Goggles, after 8 few conventional remarks, said. in a timid, pleading tone: "They tell me you have lovely way of cooking tur- nips. Won't you please give me the recipe?n

out of Love for His Mother.

A notable case of filial love came to light in Pittsburgh a few days ago, says the New York Sun, when sev- enty-six-year-old son came to the office of an aid society to claim his mother, who is two years past the century mark, from whom he had been sep arated by the long illness of both. It was shown that the man had remained bachelor all his life in order to care for his mother. They came from Ire land thirty years sg ), and had lived to- gether since that time, as they had previously in the old country, until five months ago, when both were taken sick and had to be removed to hos pital.

Microbe Causcs Gray TIairs.

Dr. Brisson, of Paris, says that old age is caused by microbe, and that the microbe is capable ofeStcrmination. The great trouble with this proposition is the difficulty of stating it cxeepting as paradox. The only logical way to escape old age is to die young.

Serious complications are threat
ened between the United States and
Spain over matters that are growing
out of the insurrection in Cuba. BY
a treaty entered into between the
United States and Spain in 1877, the
American consul at Havana was vest
ed with diplomatic authority. That
is, on emergency questions requiring
immediate settlement, the American
consul deals with the governor general
of Cuba direct, the same as if the gov
ernor general were the king of Spain
and the consul president of the United
States. Since the outbreak of the
present insurrection, quite a number
of individuals, claiming to be Ameri'
can citizens, have made themselves
seriously amenable to Spanish laws,
both civil and military. These people,
as rule, are either directly or indi-
rectly identified with the insurrection-
lists, and when they fall into the hands
of the Spaniards, there is, of course,
a desire to dispose of them in sum-
mary manner. Generally, however,
there is an appeal to the American
consul, and the action of that official

prisoner would be seized by soldiers in
attendance and put to torture. The
man would be compelled to kneel with
his bare knees on coil of chains.
Then pole would be laid across the
calves of his legs and heavy man
would get on each end of the pole and
press the poor fellows legs down into
the chains. Nothing would be accept
ed as evidence except confession OF
guilt, and if the man was somewhat
stubborn at first, it did not generally
take great while to force him to she
conclusion that it would be a good
idea to confess guilt, whether he was
guilty or not. The foreigners in at
tendance on the investigation, pro-
tested against these methods, and in
stead of in open court, the prisoner
was thereafter taken to private room.
If, however, he should deny what had
been extorted out of him after being
brought before the judges again, he
was at once threatened with another
taste of the chains. This is the way
the Chinese prove anything they want
proved.

THE CHILDREN ESCAPED.

A small cabin, occupied by Sam
Burris and family, colored, and located
on the premises of Mrs. John G. Tenn
pleton, about five miles south of York
vile, was destroyed by fire last Satur-
day morning.
Burris and his wife went to their
work, leaving in the cabin two small
children. After awhile they discover
ed that the cabin was in flames. They
returned as soon as possible, and with
the assistance of their neighbors, did
what they could to check the flames ;
but despite their efforts the cabin was
destroyed.
While the flames were in progress
the distressed people, who were fight
ing them, became possessed of the idea
that the children were being burned up,
and after all was over, they made a
careful search for the remains; but
without success. The conclusion was
that the cremation was complete.
An hour or two later, the two chill
dren were found down in the bottoms
some distance from the cabin. One oi
them was painfully, though not serious.
ly, burned. 1t seems that they had
through accident, or otherwise, done
the mischief, and then in a frenzy OF
fear, tried to hide themselves from
the consequences.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1895-10-16

Last week, England, France, Ger
many, Russia, Austria and Italy united
in a note to Turkey warning that
county that she must put stop to her
fearful persecution of the defenseless
Armenians. Turkeys reply was not al-
together satisfactory, and as the result,
England sent fleet to the entrance OF
the Dardanelles and Russia sent fleet
to the entrance of the Bosphorus; hut
it seems that Turkey is not seriously
alarmed. The sultan has ordered the
placing of torpedoes in the Bosphorus
and Dardanelles, and is continuing to
do with the Armenians pretty much as
he pleases. 1t is we'll known that
there is a great deal of jealousy on
the part of the powers in regard to
Turkey, and no one of them is inclined
to run any big risk of allowing any OF
the others to get very much advantage.
Turkey understands this fact well.
She believes that the powers will put
politics high above the blood of the
prosecuted Armenians, and for that
reason she chooses to continue to run
the risk of doing as she pleases. The
situation, especially in view of the
length to which matters have gone, is
growing extremely interesting.
