RARE OLD RELICS
IN A QUEER SHOP.

nOWN on the Delaware. in Easton,
~ there is a barber who is a charac-
ter. He and his shop are both c%uriosi-
ties. Not content with making a Gu
reer at shaving for over half a century
without stopping, he has gathered to-
gether the most remarkable collection
of war relics.
Certain persons have had greater col
lections, probably. but they are persons
who have had more advantages than
Ben Youells. Collecting is the luxury
lie allows himself. 1t is his fad. Where
he ever got all these things even he
couldn't tell you. AS soon as you talk
to him you see he has the true spirit
CT the relic worshiper, not the money
grabber.
Hundreds of the curios are packed
away in the dingy little barber shop
down on the river. Curios that a great
museum would Jingle to get its fingers
on. No system is employed in their ar
rangement. They are just heaped and
slowed away, crammed and damned in
to dark corners and unlabeled shelves,
So easily is fame hidden away under
a bushel measure that few folk in
Easton know of the wonders of the bar.
Der shop collection; fewer still know
that he holds the record of the United
States for a BARRIERS profession. For
over half "a century he has piled the
razor and scissors on the heads of men
entirely great and those entirely small
The other chief attribute of a barber
loquacity-was vouched for when
Iouells went into the peppermint pole
profession after having served years as
a sea captain.
He has outlived all his sea habits, ex'
cept his ability to spin yarns.
Only two men are living in castor
who began careers with him. He has
shaved Jacob Reeder and William Busch
this half century.
YouelIs doesn't believe in letting his
name and profession part. Half a dozen
SONS are BARRIERS, and whether he slip
uiated it or not each of his daughters
married a barber.
Easton is probably the only town that
has a BARRIERS trust. but the Youells
. certainly monopolize the trade. They
firmly believe that not to be shaved by
a Youell is not to have been shaved
properly.
That is one of his records.
Another is that he is the living be.

And you shall never know the tear

Beneath that banner of the free

But yet our leal hearts proudly burn

For you two nations war drums beat;

No freeman's blood e'er flows in vain.
Columbia needs not call again:
Remember, boys, the gallant Maine!
Her buried boys in blue!'

Her banner waves above your head;
And by It's bars of White and red
She wears the win shrouds the dead:

That fag-has never known defeat!
The God of Hosts guards patriot feet

Means: God be with you till we meet!'

Some years ago I had womb trouble

would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. So it went on
until last October, l felt something
terrible creeping over me, knew not
what, but kept getting worse. l can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. 1 was SO depressed in spirits
that l did not wish to live, although l
had everything to live for. Had hys-

A SCHOOL INNOVATION.
Bath fubs introduced in Some European
School Houses.

A famous German professor of by.
giene declares that above all things
our schoolrooms should be provided
with good system of ventilation. And
all of us agree with him. We want
some arrangement whereby the impure
air can be constantly swept out and
the pure air introduced. And yet we
who have stood in the schoolroom, sur
rounded by nearly hundred little un-
washed bodies, cannot feel satisfied
with this arrangement alone. We know
by experience that even the best ven
tllating apparatus will fall short in
producing exactly an ideal condition
OF the atmosphere. We had often
thought of making the bath tub q part
and portion of the education of the
children intrusted to our care, in for
mer yeas, says the Illustrated Homo
journal, and yet we lacked the ncces-
sary funds for making the experiment.
Many teachers have entertained the
same views with the same results.
But now We find to our surprise that
the idea is very old, and, in fact, has
been carried into excellent effect long

Warm shower baths, aud plenty of
them, have been provided for the chill

to be extremely popular. These baths
are practical and economical, as we'll
as hygienic. A school in Gottingep,
Germany, took the lead in this direc-
ton in 1888, and now some forty cities
in Germany, Switzerland and Scandi-
navia have such baths in their school
buildings. Reference is made to one
foreign school where the facilities for
bathing sixty children an hour cost
only 1887. The Superintendent of
Schools in Springfield, Mass, is urg-
ing the Introduction of these facilities
there, though the people of Springfield
claim to use more private bathtubs
than those of any other town in the
United States. population considered.
The question is fair one whether the
character of the atmosphere in our

schoolrooms, is not more of rehec-

WORDS OF WISDOM,

No men living are more worthy to
be trusted than those who toll up from
poverty.
A man who does not know how to
learn from his mistakes turns the best
schoolmaster out of his life.
1t is not our failures that ruin us,
but our fear and tardiness in making
new beginnings after failure.
There are many who traverse the
world in pursuit of happiness; but it
is within the reach of every mana
contented mind confers it,
Useless fretting and worrying bring
more gray hairs to the head, wrinkles
to the face and cares to the mind, than
old age and actual trouble.
1t is continued temperance which
sustains the body for the longest
period of time, and which most surely
preserves it free from sickness.
A life merely OF pleasure CT Jhiefy
OF pleasure is always poor and worth
less life, not worth the living; always
unsatisfactory in its course; always
miserable in its end.
1t has been said that to the pure all
things are pure. Just as thoroughly
has it been proved that to the vile, all
vileness is of the vilest, and what is
pure is considered only a grade of
vileness all the more reprehensibIe,
because it is obviously impossible OF
comprehension by minds attuned to
less harmonious chords.
