IN LONDON BARBER SHOPS.
Shaving Mugs Adorned with Emblcms

Shaving Mugs Adorned with Emblcms
of the Owners Business.
An interesting feature of the east end
barber shops is the rack of pigeonholes
filled with shaving mugs, each bearing,
usually in German text, the name of the
owner, says Pearson's Weekly. The
shaving mug is evidently esteemed q
valuable advertising medium, for
many mug bears, in addition to the
owners name, some emblem of his
business. The undertaken puts on his
mug the picture of a richly-appointed
hearse, with all the proper trappings Of
woe. The butcher decorates his mug
with shoulders of mutton, pigs heads
and linked sausages. The dentist dis
plays the traditional double row of an
noyingly perfect teeth. The 1ireman's
mug bears the illuminated picture of q
fire engine.
Vain and handsome men adorn their
cups with photographs of themselves.
Others place beneath their names some
inscription-a sentiment from the poets
or an old German rhyme of good cheer.
A child's photograph occasionally ap-
pears on q shaving mug and now and
then coat of arms is emblazoned above
the owners name. for coats of arms are
as abundant in the cast end as elsewhere
in the town. Sometimes it is national
coat of arms, German, Austrian, Swiss
or italian, displayed in honor of the de-
serted fatherland.

Sat on Eggs.

Offenders of high rank at the Rus
sian court were punished in singular
way by Peter the Great. 1t was the
duty of everybody else at court to con-
slider and treat the delinquent as a
fool, When Anne, the daughter of
Peters elder brother, Ivan, came to the
throne she originated an even queerer
form of punishment. She decreed that
certain prince should become hen,
and for this purpose she had made q
large basket, stuffed with straw, and
followed into nest, with quantity of
eggs in it. This was placed in a. con-
spicuous place in the queens palace,
and there, under pain of death, the un-
fortunate prince was obliged to set day
after day, initiating the cacllling of the
fowl he was supposed to represent.

NEW CUBAN STAMPS.



Government.
We hear and read great deal about
the Cuban revolution, but, owing to
conflicting reports, it is difficult to de-
termine the true state of affairs on the
island.
But when we hear from good author
ity that the insurgent government is
endeavoring to form a government as
nearly patterned after our own as pos
sible. and that new postal service
has been opened and new stamps print
ed, it is suggested that perhaps these
men haye made more headway than
the Spanish Government has permitted
the outside world to know of.
These revolutionary stamps are not
yet recognized by the postal authori-
ties of the world. The series consists
of four types, one for two centavos,
brown in color: another blue, and
valued at five centavos; a third red,
worth ten centavos, and the fourth
green, which is reckoned at twenty-five
centavos.
They are the size of ordinary stamps,
but crudely printed. At the top of the
stamp is the word "correos," which
simply means POSTAGE" at the bottom
is the value, marked in centavos.
The center of the stamp bears the in
scription, REP. de Cuba There are
other devices on the margin, surround
ing the center inscription, palm tree,
the national flower, to the left diagon-
al alternating lines of dark and light,
and finally a sun rising out of the
ocean.-New York Herald.

Microbes Devour Sewage.

A novel disposition of sewage is made
at Exeter, England. The method con-
sists of four tanks, a fourth of the
sewage passing into each. Light and
air are excluded from the tanks; putre-
faction and decomposition are rapidly
set up; the microbes multiply and the
solid portions of the sewage are con-
sumed, and the outflow from the tanks
is nothing but slightly colored water,
which, after passing through filters,
loses all color and taste. No chemical
is used and no attention to the tanks
of any sort is needed. Each filter bed
automatically cleanses itself by being
out of use for q short time.

0The Prevention OF Consumption

DR.. B. w. Richardson. in "Asclepiad",
makes some suggestions which will
prove beneficial to those having tend
ency toward pulmonary tuberculosis.
Dr. Richardson says that pure air for
breathing is the first requisite for the
prevention of consumption, and that a
uniform climate and as much active
outdoor exercise as possible are essen
tial. Outdoor occupation is prevent
i've. Amusements should favor muscu-
lar development and sustain healthy
respiration. The dress of the con-
sumptive should secure uniform
warmth. and the hours of rest should
be carefully regulated by the sunlight.
Cleanliness, in the broadest sense of
the word, is of special moment. The
diet of consumptiyes should be ample,
and every precaution should be taken
to prevent colds.

HAS CANCER ITS MloRoBE7


An Interesting Discovery which HAY
Mean Much.
y highly-interesting discovery, which
will, perhaps, afford a clew to the cause
of cancer, has been made in Prof. Won
Leyden's university hospital here, says
q Berlin letter to the London Standard.
\ young woman of 90 and man of GO,
both suffering from dropsy and cancer
Of the stomach, were brought to the
hospital last spring. In order to remove
the accumulated fluid tapping was re-
sorted to in both eases. The fluid was
examined under the microscope and
hitherto unknown living organisms, be-
longing probably to the protozoa, were
discovered.
Prof. Waldeyer, to whom the prepar-
ntions were submitted. advised that they
should be sent to DIR. Schaudinn, assist
ant at the Geological institute of the
Berlin university, who has been investi-
eating the protozoa for years past. He
began his examination on July 10 and
ascertained that III both cases the fluid
contained a rhizpod, which he named
Leydenia gemmipara schaudinn. He
inferred that it is pathogenic organ
ism, but both he and Prof. Won Leyden
still abstain from deciding as to the
connection between it and cancer,
though they admit the possibility of
such a connection. They have made
preliminary communication on the
subject to the Berlin Academy of Sci
ences

SETTLED OUT OF COURT.
1t Was Much Better Because " Nobody
Got Mad"

Got hlad.
Here is n story of a railroad claim
asent---a gentleman who goes about the
country settling with farmers who have
had horses and COWS killed by the cars,
says the Danville (Ky.) Advocate. A
farmer who lives near Junction City had
horse killed by freight train. The
affair was reported to the company and
the company sent the gentleman afore-
said out to see what sort of settlement
he could effect with the owner of the
animal. The farmer wanted something
like $40 for his property, and the agent
wanted to allow him. $3.50. They
wrangled for quite while until bad
blood was aroused and harsh words be-
gan to pass between the agent and the
farmer. One word brought on anoth-
or, the lie was passed and open hostili-
ties commenced. The warning men
clinched and went down. Now it so
happened that the agent was much the
larger man of the two, and he gothic
furmcr between him and Mother Earth,
and held him secure. After he had
pounded the fallen foe until he had got
ten satisfaction for all personal insults
he let up for moment and asked:
"Now, you old fool, will you take
$22 so for your claim?"
81 guess So" doggedly replied the
farmer. after considerable squirming
and hesitation.
"All right" said the agent; II will
pay you right away. It's much better
to settle these things out of court.
You save all the costs and nobody gets

The continued slump in the price of
oil has greatly discouraged operators,
and if it continues there will be cur
tailment of work all around. The ef-
fects of the fall in prices are distinctly
observable in some fields but it has not
yet reached the new fields being opened
up in this county. There is an increas-
ing demand for supplies and material
in the Hendershot field and the team
sters are kept going at a lively rate.

ground gets dried out and frozen the

which came in out there last week indi-

New YORK, November 29-It may
surprise many friends in Cincinnati
and throughout the West to learn that
Mr.. James Mcdonald has proved one
of the most successful financial agents
that ever set his foot down upon Eng
lish soil from foreign cline. Such,
however, is the case. Not long after
his marriage, few years ago, Nc
Donald gave up his beautiful home
and went to London as the foreign
agent of the Standard Oil Company,
with the fortunes of which great cor
poration the Mcdonald name has al
ways been closely identified He set
up big establishment in London, and
in time was living at rate approXi-
mating $50, 600 year. Men who shape
the destinies of countries across the
ocean We're those most found enjoying
his hospitality AT times it came Il
little high for the Standard Oil Com
pany managers, it is said, even though
they are used to handing out thousands
of dollars to accomplish q purpose.
But it wasn't long before their London
agent was heard from.
Little by little the Standard was get
ting firm foothold in Europe. Tally
upon tally was marked up for the Gin
cinnatian. Then he made a few bigger
plays for his company and won out
easily. He astonished all who knew
what was transpiring, some of them
men who had effected great deals
themselves as against long odds. But
theirs was as child's play to what the
new master was bringing about. At
last came Mr.. McDonald's great stroke.
This was the drying out of Russia and
its territories and those of several sur
rounding nations all oils that compete
in any way with those of the Standard.
By legal and by commercial enactment
the Standard Oil Company was given
those countries, and richer prize was
never awarded. When the news was
first flashed over the cables a few
weeks ago there was no one who deals
in matters of the gigantic corporation
or financial kind to believe it. 1t was
pronounced impossible of accomplish
ment. Now it is known to be true
And "Jim" Mcdonald was the man
who brought down this prize plum.
