THE INGENIOUS MAN.
Ills Invention Was Forgotten In Time
 of Need

He was a very ingenious man. He had made an invention which was of great value. lie thought so, at least, if the world did not, and he had his invention patented It was combination camp-stool, cane and unl- brella. The cane was the usual form of the invention. At big parade nothing could be more convenient, and for an ordinary, unex- pected rainstorm, what could be better? A man Is sure to have his walking stick with him.
 It was not so very long after the invention had been perfected that the man was out walking with his wife, and sudden shower came up. There were no cars accessible, and the only thing to do was to run, and the unlucky pair did this with a vengeance, reaching the house hot, uncomfortable, and pretty wet.
 "Well, we are here at last," said the man, drawing long breath of relief
 Yes , said the wife, disconsolately, "but l think have ruined my new bonnet. And, John Smith, she added, suddenly, with a done? You had that old invention of yours .-cane-camp-s affair-in your hand all the time ready for an emergency, and forgot to use it. ,
 The man tells the story, and thinks it is 8 great joke.-N. Y Times.

ELECTRICAL FLASHES.

Among recent patents is one for self-restoring annunciator, which, aft er displaying the signal for short time, automatically restores itself with out the aid of an attachment.
 There is. a bill in the United States senate providing that all overhead elec- trio wires in the District of Columbia, within fire limits, be removed within one year from the passage of the act.
 It is said the Third Avenue Railroad company of New York intends to adopt electric traction on all it's existing lines and on others to be built The conduit trolley system will be used. The im- provements contemplated will cost sev- eral millions of dollars.
 Among the latest electrical patents granted is one for q polarized signal bell, which permits the calling currents Of other bells to pass through without ringing it, while it is responsive to it's own predetermined signals, which are of varying current strength.
 According to the Electrical Review, the oil lamps used to illuminate part of the Fourth avenue tunnel in New York city have been supplanted with incandescent electric lights. Groups of lights containing five globes are placed at intervals Of every 50 feet, while at the. Thirty-eighth and Fortieth street stairways red lamps indicate the exits.
 A 10S-mile electric transmission plant is reported to be under consideration in southern California The undertaking involves the erection of dam across the Kern river in Kern county, Cal, and the construction of line to convey the high tension current to Los Angeles. The Kern river drains an area of some 2,345 square miles, and total of about 12,o00 horsepower can be obtained. A pressure of 30,Oo0 volts is proposed for transmission. While this is exception ally high, the dry atmosphere and infre- quent rainfalls warrant it's adoption. The dam will form a storage reservoir with volume of about 13,721, 100000 gallons, or the equivaleFt of 42,0oo acre-feet. Should the project be car ried out, it would be by far the longest electric power transmission line in the world.

These two words emphasize a necessity and indicate a remedy.
 SPRING-the season when the blood is most impure as a result of the win ter's closer confinement, higher live ing, slower action of the kidneys and liver; when humors of all kinds, boils, pimples and eruptions are most liable to appear; when the weak, languid condition of the whole bodily struc- ture demands and welcomes help.

MEN WHO DYE THEIR HAIR.
DO SO to Make Employers Think They
Are still Young.


at would surprise YOU" said the
proprietor OF an upper east side barber
shop, with back room where his Gus
toners might have their hair dyed,
If you knew the amount of business I
do in hair dyes. l know it is the gen.
eral opinion that the only people who
use hair dyes are peroxide blondes
and women Of uncertain age, but a
great many OF my customers are among
another class of peopl OF late years
there has been a great prejudice
against employing old or middle-aged
men, said this barber to a New York
Sun reporter and man with gray
hair has hard time OF it finding work.
Now, there are a great many gray
haired men who are mechanics just as
good as, or better. than the younger
men, but are handicapped on account
of their gray hair. These men are my
best customers. y man who wants to
have his hair dyed can have shave
or a haircut in my barber shop and
then 90 into the back room and have
his hair dyed without any enc knowing
anything about it, People like It that
way. When a man wants to have mis-
hair dyed he doesn't want it known. l
can tell by his manner if he wants a
hair dye. lie wears a shame-faced ex-
preston like a man going into pawn
shop for the first time. A number OF
my customers are mechanics. clerks
and bookkeepers. who are still in the
prime OF life. but whose hair has turned
gray. They generally come on Satur-
day night 10 get a shave, and then they
step into the back room and have their
hair ana sometimes their mustaches
dyed. OF course, it would be dead
giye-away if n man 5 mustache was
gray and his hair brown or black. but
as in most cases the mustache Is about
twenty years younger than the hair IL
on the head il doesn't often get gray
as soon. I sell the dye in bottles, but
most people prefer to have me- put II
on, as ! can do It more evenly and
thoroughly. When | apply IL IL lasts
about week. IL would last longer
than that, only the hair grows enough
in that time to show gray at the roots.
Why, I can make man look ten years
younger by giving him n clean shave
and dyeins his hair. can mako the
hair almost any color. but most people
want II black or brown. Dark brown
is the favorite color: black comes next.
