THE LAST MAN SHAVED.

An Explanation by the Barber That Did
Not Quiet His Nerves.
There were five of us hunting and
fishing in the Queensland bush when
one rainy dag a stranger appeared. He
said he was tramp barber. and as
none of us had been shaved for fort
night we gave him half days work.
About four hours after he had left us
a band of six men rode up, and the leader
inquired if we had seen tall, roughly
dressed man pass that way. We told
him of the barber, and he looked from
man to man and exclaimed:
GOOD gracious but you are all
freshly shavedP'
Yes, we gave the barber job.
"And he shaved each one of your

Boys, do you hear that" shouted
the man as he turned to his companions
What of it?'' asked one of our party
why, he went insane yesterday and
cut man s throat in his barber's chair
over at Unadilla, and we're after him
to put him in an asylum. F"
They rode away at a gallop and next
morning returned to our camp with the
man, who had been captured after a
hard fight and was tied on his horse
He seemed to remember us when he
was given a drink Of water, and as he
handed the cup back he quietly OBJ

The Scilly islands may very justly
be termed flower islands. for a large
part of their surface is given mp to the
cultivation of flowers, and the great
majority of their people spend their
lives in attending to the plants, from
which all the wealth of the islands is
drawn.
The inhabitants have had other occu-
pations before they settled down to
flower growing. At one time they were
wreckers, and at later period they
went into a more legitimate business
and devoted themselves to tho raising of
early potatoes. There was money to be
made out of them. and the islands pros
pered until prosperity bore its usual
fruit in the shape of competition The
Channel islanders took TO growing pota-
toes. and the potato trade of the Sicily
islands was killed Thereupon the is

How sienkiewicz Writes.

Sienkiewicz S method of making book
is as follows: He works out detailed
plan, and writes it down carefully He
fixes this in his head and lets it ''seethe
and ferment" there, as he says When
ready to begin work, he divides his time
not into days, but weeks During the
first week he produces a certain amount
the second week similar amount, and so
on, week after week. He writes without
correction, and never copies, producing
just one manuscript-the one which he
sends to the printer Each week s work
continues that of the preceding week.
Though the plan of the book is elaborated
carefully in advance, this plan is not fol-
lowed strictly. From the 'seething and
fermenting" in his head changes are sug-
gestcd to the author, and he makes them

CHINESE SHOES.
The Comfort and Healthfulness of Woven
Straw Sandals.

The Comfort and HeaIthfuiness of Woven
Straw Sandals.
81 may seem to be quarreling with
my bread and butter, !" said an up town
chiropodist to one Of his best. customers
the other day, but in my humble and
somewhat professional opinion, the most
sensible of all men in the matter of foot
wear is the Chinaman. Did you ever
notice his feet? don't believe there is
such thing as corn or ts1nion in
all China Chiropodists would starve
to death there so far as the requirements
of the masculine foot are concerned.
Whatever the deformities inflicted on
the feet Of women in China may be, the
men certainly enjoy sound and comfort
able understandings. Look at the Chi
nese laundrymen here in Washington.
They stand at their work 10 hours
day. No class of workingmen know Of
spend so many hours on their feet as
they do. Yet they never break down
there, and, physically, they are Won
derfully healthy race.
''Simple living and freedom from the
nervous pursuits of our civilization may
have something to do with it, but at
tribute their exemption from foot weak
ness and disease to the kind of house
shoe so universally worn by them.
have pair that have worn for several
years, and wouldn't wear anything
else for genuine indoor comfort. They
are woven of straw and seaweed and
soled with horse hide There is thick
sole of straw above the leather, and
through this the air can circulate free
ly, keeping the muscles of the under
part of the foot always cool The laun-
drymen, you notice, are usually bare
foot, which is an added advantage in
the matter of healthfulness There is
about as little material in the uppers as
is consistent with the idea of shoe,
and this is just enough to keep the
thing on the foot. This upper, too, is
woven loosely of seaweed, so that the air
can have access to the foot. Nowhere
does this shoe pinch or in the least de-
gree press the foot.
"These are the indoor shoes of the
Chinaman. On the street here in the
United States nowadays he wears very
commonly the leather shoes or boots of
American manufacture. That is one Of
the ways in which he is becoming
Americanized. But the outdoor cloth
shoe of China is great deal worn also.
That, like the indoor shoe, is very thick
and soft in the sole, and the foot is
never pinched or strained by it. The
healthiest footgear ever known proba-
bly, was the sandal of the Greeks. 1t
had no upper, and, as you will see in
statuary, the feet of men and women
were ideally perfect. All the sandal af-
forded was protection from the ground.
TO him who wears sandals, say the
Arabs, it is as if the world were shod
with leather. The Chinaman seems to
follow out this motto, and his shoes are
nearly soles and nothing more. But the
great secret of the excellence of his in
door shoe is the half inch straw sole. +"

One of our German American citizens
related the following incident of the
German revolution Of 1848:
1--WE were short of men and had
large number of prisoners to look after.
That did not worry us as long as we
were not moving, but one day we had
to make forced march. The country
through which we were to pass was
hostile, and extreme watchfulness was
necessary. We had few enough men as
it was, and we knew that those pris-
oners we're ready to make dead run at
the first opening.
Finally young officer made bril-
liant suggestion, and it was promptly
carried out We ripped the suspender
buttons from the prisoners trousers,
took away their belts and knew we had
them Their hands were busy after
that, and fast running was out OF the
question. We made the march safely,
and l do not believe that even Yankee
ingenuity could have invented sim

Sung Them to Liberty.

In Marchesi and Music, the famous
singing teacher tells this anecdote to
illustrate the nobility of heart of a Rus
sian woman, one of her pupils, and a
native Of Mini -Novgorod, where the
great fair is held every year.
Mile. Nadine Boulitchoff created q
great sensation with her beautiful voice
and dramatic power, at Moscow, st.
Petersburg and Madrid In the summer
of 1880 she sang at Rio Janeiro. Brazil
was then the entrepot for the cruel slave
trade. At her benefit, Nadine learned
that she was to be presented with valu-
able gifts. She begged that the money,
instead of being spent Oh her, should be
used to buy the liberty of several female
slaves.
Her deed of charity released seven
poor slaves, one of whom had been re-
Gently whipped in public by order of her
mistress.
On the benefit night, after Nadine
had sung, the seven negresses went upon
the stage to thank the artistic for their
freedom. The crowded house applauded
for several minutes; the national hymn
was played; the emperor, Dom Pedro,
rose, and with him the whole audience,
and the songstress knew moment of
thrilling joy such as seldom comes to
women.

to know the varying expression of those

eyes when he was preaching to know
how things were going with him and,
incidentally, with the congregation. l
remember once in the midst of most

features remained quite grave through

before.
What was the matter? l asked
when church was out and we were on
our way home.
Why, came SO near laughing out

he said. of course the choir is hidden
from the congregation behind its pro-
