Forgot His Whiskers.

The patriarchal beard Of one of the "old-
est Inhabitants of Conshohocken is still
in its accustomed place on his chin, but
1t looks very much moth-eaten and ragged
This is due to the fact that the old man is
extremely near-sighted. To see an object
plainly he is compelled to get his optics
within q few inches of it. The other day
while pottering around his house, the old
man undertook to repair the picket fence
around the yard. Many of the palings had
been knocked off, and these it was his pur-
pose to replace. He armed himself with
hammer and nails and started in. He got
his first paiing in place. and with much
labor succeeded i'll fastening 1t there. But
this was not all. When he started TO move
on to the next break he was brought up
standing with a yell of pain. He had
nailed his whiskers between. the paling and
the crossbar. His yells attracted the at
tention Of his coed wife, who. when she
realized the situation, brought her scis-
sors into play and released the old man.

Charles Emory Smith, the new Postmas-
ter General, was born in Mansfield, Conn.
in 1872. His parents removed to Albany
N y, when he was child He was edu-

moved TO Philadelphia and became editor
OF the Press. In 1851 he was selected to

From the London Post.
In the course of letter to the Temps, NJ.
Buffet, French artist, who has just re-
turned from Abyssinia, where he has paint
ed portraits of the emperor and Ras Ma
konpen, which are to BE- exhibited at the
forthcoming salon, says: 1t was in great
degree to the small-bore guns with which
the Italian troops were armed that the
Abyssinians owed their victories. Ras Ma
konnen and several of the suite of Menelik
told me that when a bullet had gone right
through them their men lost none of their
dash. If the bullet did not kill at once-and
nine out of ten times that was not the case
they did not even know they were wound
ed, and fought as furiously as their COM
rades. Their wounds healed in very short
time unless vita, organ had been touched.
The result is that the Abyssinians despise
such modern arms" In view of the possi-
BILE debates as to the Dum-dum bullet this
testimony is not without its Importance.

CANINE CASTAWAYS,
Remarkable Rescue of a Dog and
Litter of Pups at Sea


Litter of Pups at Sea.
From the Philadelphia Times
A strange story is told by Captain BEN
nett of the British steamer Sweet Alice,
which reached here from London yester-
day. Captain Bennett says that when in
mldocean on the morning of March % an
object resembling a boat was sighted about
two points off the starboard bow. The
steamer bore down on it, and the captain
was astonished to find that it was an ordi-
nary dog house dashed to a piece of ice.
A boat was launched to investigate, and
l. was then found that the house contained
al Irish terrier and litter of six pups that
were apparently not more than forty-eight
hours old. In a corner of the house-which
was half filled with fresh hay-there was
found wooden vessel containing a large
quantity Of canned meats. while In another
corner was a vessel of fresh water The
piece of ice to which the house was dashed
was perfect cube, measuring about three
feet each way. and on one end of the sides
was carved in large Elizabethan letters.
which were still discernible, the Latin
phrase, 'Esto Perpetual On top of the
house foated tiny American nag. and
nailed to the roof was card six inches
by three, upon which was written in n
wcman's hand:
The fittest place for man to die
Is where he dies for man.
There was nothing whatever to indi-
anything to show how long she had been
adrift. Captain Bennett thinks however
that the animal must have been at least
three weeks on her iceboat. The dog and
her pups are still alive and great pets of
the Sweet Alice ships company.

Why Brazil Sold Her Ships.

FROM the Providence Journal
One of the remarkable phenomena of
trade at present Is reflected by Brazirs
sale Of warships to this country. A careful
examination CT it prompts the suggestion
that the South American republic had fiscal
rather thar friendly reasons for disposing
Of the vessels The price of Brazilian cof-
fee has now fallen lower than it was ever
quoted before. The figure on regular con-
tract deliveries is 8 cents per pound. An
immense crop has been gathered. and this
fact is now bearing the market for the
product all over the world. Brazil, which
collects an export duty upon 1t, has actu-
ally been put into financial straits by the
reduction in price.
The loss Of revenue became SO serious a
month ago that reports were in clrcula-
ton In London that the interest could not
be paid on the country's debt in April.
Since the deal by which the United States
takes the Amaxonas and its sister was
carried through the news has come that the
coupons will be taken up. The American
money has enabled the nation to make both
ends meet. But II coffee is to continue at

Among the many features Of interest in
the big Saturday Star this week will be the
first installment of a new and intensely ex-
citing serial story from the pen of Robert
W. Chambers, the well-known and popular
novelist.
In "Ashes of Empire" the name of his
latest piece of fiction Mr.. Chambers has
dcne some of his very best writing, and
the readers of The Star may rest assured
that in the story they will not find a dry or
uninteresting line. From beginning to end
it is full of incident, and is written in a
thoroughly breezy and readable style. 1t
will run through fifteen installments, one
appearing in The Star each Saturday.
The scene of the story is laid at first in
Paris at the close of the Second Empire,
and the story begins with thrilling de-
scription of the flight of the Empress from
tie Louvre. Given such a scene and such
a time and a writer of the imagination ana
descriptive powers of Mr.. Chambers, II
would be remarkable If the story should
