said it will last, continuously, for three
days and three nights. Just how this
Will be managed has not yet been
learned. 1t is possible, however, that
it can be kept going by u careful ar
dancers who will leel Off the waltzes,
maZurkas and schottisches one after
the other. Probably a short interval
will be allowed in the daytime fer rest,
and then the progra N resumed with in
creased ardOr.
The entertainment, says the New
York journal, is TO be given in the town
hall, and the institution is to lie Ecnc-
fitted by it as dispensary for the relief
of the sick poor. There is q long list of
titled people among the patronesses,
and it is presumed that many members
of the nobility named will grace the oc-
casion by their presence. The duchess
of Teck is the greatest "altesse" on the
list, which also includes the countess of
Munster, Baroness de Worms. Lady Ell
lis, Lady Pocock, and several score of
the untitled gentry of the place. The
lord lieutenant of the county, the mar
quis of Abergavenny, is the nominal
head of the affair, but whether the au-
thorship of the idea is his is not stated.

BARBER SHOP ON WHEELS.
This Man Uses Tricycle. to Get Custom
from Farmers.


No odder use has been found for the
bicycle than that to which it has been
put by i barber, August Lehman, of
Gravesend, Long island, says the New
York Press. Before he learned to ride
IL wheel he made comfortable living
by driving around the scattered villages
of Long island shaving the farmers who
could not spare time to travel to the
nciS Shboring towns to be shaved. 1t
occurred to Lehman that Il more de-
sirable way of visiting his patrons than
by the old horse and buggy could be
found by constructing Il tricycle. out
fit. The plan has worked well. The
BARRIERS chair, which is getting to be
Il familiar sight on Long island, runs
on three wheels and in the center of the
man perches when he pedals abroad on
shaving and hair cutting tours.
The advantage of the new outfit is
that it costs next to nothing when COM
pared with the expense of keeping a
horse. Before he adopted the tricycle.
system of travel Lehman was forced to
confine his shaving and hair cutting
efforts to farmsteads far removed from
the red and white pole of the village
barber. Now he boldly rides into the
territory of his rivals, for the novelty

IN HIS ARMS.
This Man Caught Deer and Secured 1t
After Hard Struggle.


Harry Middlehousa of Grand Rapids,
Mich, who u short time since was Wis
iring at Itemus. Mich. had the novel eX-
perience of catching a live deer in his
arms, says the American Field. The
deer was a 250-pound buck, which,
though once captive, had been roam
ing the woods and fields for the last
four years. and was about as wild as if
it had never set eyes on n human being.
The buck was seen, and Middlehousc
hid behind a log while Farwrl. his
companion, circled round and drove
the deer toward him. The buck came di-
rect to the edge of the log where Mid
dlehonse was hiding and stopped, when
Middlehouse sprang up and caught the
deer around the neck. Then grand
tussle ensued, Middlehouse winning the
first fall. but the buck was on its feet
again in a moment. Farwell was too
far away to give him any assistance.
and by the time Farwell reached him
Mlddlehouse was about worn ont in his
struggles to hold the deer, his cloth
ing had nearly all been torn off and he
had two J. bruises on his side made BY
the bucks feet. Farwell finally came
to his assistance, and the two placed
halter around the deer's neck and tied
it to tree. After resting for a time
the men bound the deer's feet together
and carted it back to its old home from
where, the next day. it was shipped to
Grand Rapids. where it is to have a
homo in the city mark

ON SLIPPERY STREETS.
The Only Way to Walk to Keep from
Falling.

Falling.
There are right and wrong ways to do
1aost things, and walking on icy side
walks is no exception to the rule, says
the New York World. Many people
follow the wrong method, and as a re-
suit they often make exhibitions of
themselves more IEeasing to the specta-
tors than to the exhibitors. Falls are
frequent III New York city during the
inter. Some of them are absolutely
dangerous and many are painful
The dangers Of slippery and icy pave
l:,Cnts may be reduced to minimum by
using caution when walking. By going
on tiptoe and keeping the heel of the
shoe from striking the pavement until
tic Foot is FIRMLY in position slipping is
~ oidcd. If, on the contrary, you start
"ith the heel and toe gait popular with
pedestrians your heel will slip from un-
der you and you fall before you have
had time to select the safest spot.
This is readily explained by the fact
that when the ball of The foot is placed
cn TIE ground a large section of the shoe
touches the pavement and the body
must necessarily be pretty well bal
anced on the foot But when the heel

of the shoe touches the pavement, and

body. Try it once and be convinced
that the mincing walk of the typical
dandy is sometimes safe if rot grace

TROCHA COST MANY LIVES.
Over 1900 Soldiers D.cd of Fever Con-
tracteu There.

Over 1000 Soldiers D.ed of Fever Con-
tractcu There.
A decided change has been made in
the plan of military operations in Pnar
del Rio province.
The western trocha has not been
abandoned yet, but the force along
that military line has been greatly re-
duced already. Three brigades of in
fantry have gone into the mountain
Gus country on the north coast, the
only part where the insurgents find
anything like security
The trocha, says 4 Havana dispatch,
was costly mistake in many respects;
in others it served its purpose. The
work was too eXpensively built. AL
though intended for a temporary pur-
pose, the blockhouses in many in
stances were of brick and finished as if
for permanent use. Even the mortar
at the Joints was nicely fooled The
same disposition to erect massive and
permanent works that distinguished the
Spaniards in the days of the colonial
tion of America exists to-day. The
trocha caused Maceo a great deal of
annoyance. 1t staid the passage of
large bodies of men east and west. Only
small groups succeeded in crossing.
The maintenance of the trocha has
cost dearly in human life. The country
through which it runs is malarious
naturally, and the. throwing up of earth
works left pits which filled with stag
nant water in the rainy season. More
than 1000 soldiers have died from dis
ease contracted there. Even now many
are sick, mostly with chills and fever.
Yellow fever and dysentery have been
endemic

Among the numberless stories of the

Oliver Wendell Holmes is one connected
with the breakfast given in his honor
by the publishing firm of Houghtor,
Osgood 6, Co. on the occasion of his
SEVENTEEN birthday, says the Youths
Companion. Not long after the break
fast he met a friend who had been q
guest on that memorable occasion, and
had written one of the many bright
poems which formed part of the en-
tertainment. In referring to the late
festivity, the doctor said to his friend:
Il knew there would be good many
things said that would be calculated
TO draw tears. | was resolved that
would not cry-that nothing should
make me cry; and so | went to the
breakfast determined to maintain a
rigid upper eyelio."

ZINC WALL PAPER.
A Cheap and Durable Mural Decoration
Made In Imitation of Marble.

Zinc wall paper is the latest oddits
and several residences of the highest
with the zinc class now building will be
equipped with the zinc are prepared
by new process, so as to exactly re-
semble marble. The most beautiful
varieties of marble are initiated in such
a manner that the imposture is only to
be detected after a close examination.
The zinc is attached to the wall by q
cement invented for the purpose. The
surface Of the zinc is enamelled so as to
render it permanent and washable.
Tiles or any other form of mural COW
ering can be initiated as readily as
marble and the material is made in a
great variety of patterns.
1t is claimed for this new departure
in decorative material that while it is
as permanent as tiles or marble. It is
much cheaper, and can be put on as
easily as ordinary wall paper. 1t can
be applied, too, to any surface, whether
fiat, broken or sound, and any beading,
etc, can be embossed on the metal to
complete a design or panel.
