THE CHINESE EAR CLEANER.
One of the Strange Sights to Be Seen
In MnniIa Streets.


In this city of strange and unusual
sights there is probably nothing that
appears so strange at first sight to
the American as the Chinese ear clean
er pursuing his calling on the street
corners. The Chinaman so engaged is
provided with stoo! and a small
bamboo case, in which are inclosed
his instruments.
The Filipino is just as sure of hav-
ing his ears cleaned on Sunday as an
American is of having a shave, and in
the by streets and alleyways they line
I'D for all the world like a barber
shop on Sunday morning, the only
difference being the Chinaman can't
say next"
First Of all the Chino takes n razor,
which looks mere Ike n propeller
blade than anything else, and, wiping
the victims face with n wet rag, pro
ceeds to mop the dirt therefrom. While
watching this part of the proceedings
| was surprised at the fexibility of the
native nose as demonstrated by the
skillful fingers of the operator. To
windward. to leeward, on its stern,
beam and bow the natives nose Is
rapidly twisted to avoid the aforesaid
razor. Having removed the real es-
tate from the natives face, the China
man turns to the more difficult task
of ear cleaning. The smallest spot OF
dirt and the tiniest flesh worm is re-
moved before the operation is com
plete, and from the heavenly express
sion" one would imagine that the oper-
alton was anything but pleasant.-Ma-
Mia Freedom.

aTNXO POIificinns.V

One of the first things done by a
stranger visiting Albany, says the
Philadelphia Call, is to pay 20 cents
and put himself at the mercy of n
capitol guide.
The guide makes n profound and
obsequious bow. like a prestidigitator
about to charm an audience, and pro
ceeds to lift the veil which hides the
mysteries of the great building.
On a recent occasion the guide led
stranger regretfully past "McGinty's
empty frame and proceeded to identi-
fy the heads of notables that decorate
the stairway. He did fairly well until
the stranger pointed out Shakespeare
and Homer and asked who they were.
Them" replied the guide, undaunt-
ed, "are the heads of two politicians
whose names | disremember."

FATE OF A CAESARS ASHES.
shalsespcare's Conceit Finds n COun-

shakespeare's Conceit Finds n Coun-
terpnrt In Reality.
When Shakespeare put in the mouth
of Hamlet the curious conceit about
the dust of the great Alexander hav-
ing become loam and then stopping 4
bunghole in Il beer barrel, he had SEEM
ed to reach the ultimate extravaganza
of Imagination. Yet, near the Porta
Salaria n still more unexpected eX-
travagance was revealed after the eX-
cavations carried on there. In these
a cippus. or sepulchral column, con-
tanning n cinerary urn of rare oriental
alabaster was brought to light The
inscription on the cippus revealed that
the ashes contained within the urn
were those of Calpunius Piso Licini-
anus, who, in February. 4. d. 50, was
proclaimed Caesar by the Emperor
Galbra. Four days afterward Galbra
was killed, and Piso also suffered
death in his thirty-first year. His were
the ashes that the alabaSter urn con-
tained.
The precious urn was given to n
workman employed on the premises to
take care of. Some days after, when
the proprietor of the place asked for
the urn, he found it empty. where,
said he, are the ashes that were
hereW The workman, surprised, said
that he gathered them together and,
never dreaming that they were any
good, but being white and clean, sent
them to his wife to make lye for her
washingl And thus, said the late
Shakespeare Wood. describing this in
cident. have the ashes of an imperial
Caesar, adopted by Galbra as Tiberius
was adopted by Augustus and accept
ed by the senate, been used more than
IS centuries after his death by Ro-
man washerwoman TO cleanse her dirty
linen, together with the ashes of other
members of the family in whose veins
flowed the noble blood Of Crassi and
