TO FIND JONES' GRAVE.

Perhaps few people know that the

most distinguished heroes OF the Amer

in Paris. Exactly where nobody knows
After leaving the American service be-
cause OF some alleged grievance, Jones
enlisted in the French service, and dy-
ing shortly afterwards. was buried in
the French capital. Efforts to locate
the tomb OF the great naval officer have
failed up to date. but with increased
vigilance 1t is throught that the dis
covery can be made in the course of
time by carefully inspecting the grave
yards of Paris. Recently n Philadel-

Allegiance to tho Sultan.

The announcement that the Shelk OF
WAdai has acknowledged the suzeraln-
ty OF the Sultan of Turkey and that the
latter is sending splendid presents to
the sheik as token OF his pleasure
should not be misunderstood. The
shelk has acknowledged only the
suzerainty OF the sultan as the head
OF the Mohammedan church and not
at all as having any authority In the
temporal affairs OF the country. Wa
dai is country In the central Soudan
and is populated by both negroes and
Arabs. The sultan Is pleased at the
acknowledgment because allegiance
has heretofore been given to the Grand
Cherln Of Mecca. who divides with the

LoNDoN'S WOMAN BARBER.
She Is Learned in the Mysteries of
Hypnotic Influence.

The Lady BARRIERS association-the
original one, mark you-has existed
eleven years, says the Pail Mall Ga
zette. Its present address is 655 Chan
Gerry lane, and its latest proprietor
Nine. st. Quentin, who has been in
possession since June last. She is a
charming and accomplished lady
learned in the mysteries of hypnotic
influence, and has even views on Budd-
ha. In response to the invitation con-
tanned in the announcement that ma
dame was at home, coupled with the
parenthetical promise of tea, the writer
descended to the pleasant basement
room, with the electric lamps diffus-
ing brightly warm color through the
crimson shades, and beheld the priest
esses of the razor performing the Gus
tomary rites upon various stubbly and
upturned masculine chins. 1t seemed
SO entirely pleasant a process that the
writer remembered with secret joy
that he had not shaved that morning.
Presently it was his turn, and, plac-
ing his head upon the pad. he suffered
himself to be lathered and prepared
for sacrifice. To be shayed by deft-
handed woman is almost a magical
process. There is none of the "slish-
slashing" of the gentleman whom a
bountiful nature intended to be n
hedge carpenter. No, no. There is
something smooth and gliding over
ones cheek. with here and there the
light pressure Of delicate fingers, and.
presto! one emerges with a chin that
is equal without a shadow of depreca-
tion to every domestic and ante-mari-
tai demand upon it.

LIVING ON THE WATER.
Some Families Spend Their Timo on
Their Anchored Yachts.

A wet sheet and flowing sea has
nothing whatever to do with life
aboard a yacht, as exemplified in the
Bay Ridge Yacht Basin. in South
Brooklyn, says the New York Herald.
There are five or six yachts there, one
of them a roomy schooner craft, which
for various reasons are not in commits
sion this summer. Nevertheless the
owners and their families or their
friends live and sleep on board. On
one sloop are five young men, who go
to skyscraper building in Nassau
street every morning and take out
two or three vivacious typewriter
girls when work is over to make
the evenings merry. They rented
the boat on condition that they
would not take her outside the
basin, and hired a retired sea cap
tain, who lives near the basin, to
look after the boat during the day
and to mess" for them. They find 1t
cheaper than paying board in the city.
and ever SO much pleasanter. Three
families wintered on yachts in the Bay
Ridge basin last winter, and they en-
Joyed the experiment so much that
they talk of trying it again. The bliz-
zard and the rough weather had no
terrors for them. One sloop, the PERI,
was housed above decks very much like
those in the tales we read about Arc
tic expeditions. The families who lived
in th's way were on terms of sociabii-
ity and visited every night for games
and cards. They gave a boat party
in January, and their friends in
Brooklyn who are given to assisting
at social entertainments, Joined them
in a modest little vaudeville. When
the basin was frozen solid one night
they gave skating party, with pip
ing hot supper below decks as a wind
up. There are still novelties about for
persons who know where to look for
them.

On the death of the late Prof. Marsh,
whose name in the scientific world
ranks closely with that of Agassiz,
the splendid collection of minerals Of
which he was the owner fell to the
share of Yale university under the
terms of the will. Prof. Marsh had
been identified for many years with
the chair of mineralogy in that insti-

course which he took. But serious
trouble has since arisen. On account
of the monetary value of the collec-

several millions of dollars, the heirs

contesting the will with the view to
obtaining possession of the collection

Track Tank. for Freight EneIne.,

The use of track tanks by which To-
comotives Of high speed passenger
trains may take water without stop
ping is almost universal on the larger
Eastern roads, where fast expresses are
the rule. The B. & o. R. r. has a
number between Washington and Phil
adelphia and intends to equip the en-
tire Main Line in the future. This de-
cision was recently arrived at through
the use of passenger locomotives,
equipped with water scoops. on fast
freight trains. 1t was found that much
time was saved, danger from stopping,
being reduced to a minimum and cost
of running lessened. The extra stops
for water take much time and the wear
and tear on equipment is no small
matter II the experiment on this part
Of the road proves successful, track
tanks will be installed on every divi-
sion between Baltimore and Chicago.
AS a starter, the 80 new Vauclain COM
pound engines recently ordered will be
fitted with water scoops.
