to lie Ignorant of the Fact
That Peace Had Come.

1t was in the midst of the peace jubilee
and the editor was the busiest individual in
town, but the visitor got in on him, and,
what was worse, sat down and showed other
signs of remaining, none of which the editor
encouraged.
Excuse me-" said the visitor of his own
voliton, but can't l ask you an important
question:
What is it?" responded the editor, with
out looking up from his work, which is al
ways sign that anybody ought to under
stand.

"And the peace jubilee is celebration OF

and that good fellowship is now prevailing

responsive to the gentle coo of the dove, and
that everybody is wearing white wings and
that there won't be any more scraps, and
that everybody is kissing and making up;
it means that, don't it?"
Exactly" responded the editor, pleased
to discover so comprehensive knowledge
from such an unsupported quarter.
II thought so," said the visitor, rising
"I'll go back home and tell my wife about it

A NEW EXPERIENCE.
Phebe Ann Was Greatly Worried
Over the Actions of the
Trees and Houses.

She is only little black pickaninny who
lives down in Georgia. She is under dozen
years in age and until short time ago had
passed all of her life on rural plantation.
Trains and their attendant movements were
utterly unknown. Indeed, what Phebe Ann
knew Of anything outside of that plantation
would not make the beginning of primer.
She was being educated for house servant
and hence was not permitted to roam to any
great extent. She was busy about the big
house all day and at night retired to the
shack set apart for her family.
Along in the season, for some good rea-
son, it became necessary for the family to
move into city. The little negro girl was
wanted, for she had much skill in soothing
the childish woes of the heir to the estates.
So it was decided that she must accompany
the expedition. From the time she entered
the carriage to ride to the railway station
Phebe Ann was in state of suppressed ex-
element She sat beside Miss Amy" as
she called her mistress, and with staring
eyes took in all that passed without com.
ment.
When she was taken into the train her
wonderment was amusing. She sat gin
gerly on the cushions, looked out of the win
dow and generally seemed uncertain con-
corning the possibilities of the future. She
was silent until the train commenced to
move. Then her fear took shape She saw
the landscape passing rapidly before her and
her eyes filed, her lip quivered and she
smiled audibly
whats the matter, Phebe Ann?" asked
her mistress.
"Oh, Miss Amy" walled the pickanning,

The ventilating fan for use in the
torrid periods of the summer is famil-
lar to almost everybody, and its service
is greatly appreciated by everyone who
has felt its cooling currents of atmos-
phere. There has recently been in
vented new device which closely re-
sembles the yentilating fan. 1t is like
the ventilator placed in the wall of a
room, but instead of cooling it heats a
room. By this process of heating the

ELECTRIC HAIRCUT.
Paris Has shop i'm Which TonsOrial
Operations Are Performed In
Unique Way.

An electrical BARRIERS shop is one of
the latest attractions of Paris. This
does not mean simply that motors are
used for driving fans and the estab-
lishment lighted by an electrical cur
rent, but that hair is curled, cut and
dried by electricity, and many other
things done through its agency. Hair
cutting in this Partisan establishment
is done with an electric cutting comb,
which, because of its simplicity and the
dexterity with which it may be used,
must soon become widely employed.
This comb looks like any ordinary one,
except that thin wire is stretched
above the upper portion of the teeth
along the handle. The wire is connect
cd electrically with storage battery.
When the battery is connected the wire
becomes red-hot. Therefore when this
comb is passed through the hair the
latter is burned off by the rcd-hot wire.
The whole operation is so rapid that a
heavy head of hair may be clipped in a
few minutes. Not only this, but the
ends of the hair cannot bleed, SO that
the benefit of smuggling is part of the
operation. Hair which has been sham.
pooed is dried very quickly by means
of electric fans, facial imperfections
are removed with electric needles, and
it is understood that the owner of the
shop is patenting an electric motor.

are heated by having heat developing
wire mounted on them in coating of
enamel. This enamel becomes hot upon
connecting the wire with the circuit
which is led to the blades thorugh col
lector rings on the shaft of the fan.
A form of heater is also made to be
applied to the ordinary ceiling fan so
much in use, and a ceiling fan is also
constructed. in which the blades them
selves are heated.
These fans are provided for any cir
cult, "direct" or alternating" and OF
any required voltage. They are also
designed to be used as cooling fans; to
employ them as such the cheating switch
is closed and the fan is run at higher
speed than for heating.

MAKING REAL PEARLS.
A Method of Manufacturing Them at
Trihing Cost Has just Been
Discovered.

At various times attempts have been
made to manufacture genuine dia-
monds and other precious stones, but
the cost of manufacture has in each case
proved SO great that up to the present
time no such diamonds have been placed
ON the market. This statement, OF
course, does not apply to the manu-
facture of artificial precious stones,
which seems to be thriving at present,
judging from recent cable disptach
to the New York Herald, which told
how artificial diamonds and rubies are
being manufactured in Euorpe.
The point of interest just now is the
fact that a method of manufacturing
genuine pearls at trifling cost has
just been discovered. Manufacture,
however, is hardly the right word, for
it is nature herself which does almost
the whole business. A natural pearl,
we know, is formed through the in
trusion of foreign body into the shell
of mussel.
The sea mussel is popularity supposed
to have monopoly of this business,
but this is an error. A certain species
of river mussels, technically known as
Margaritana margaritifera, also pro-
duces beautiful pearls.
The attention of French naturalist,
M. Boutan, professor at the Sorbonne,
was recently drawn to this fact, and
he at once conceived the idea of pro-
ducing pearls by means of these river
mussels. His first step was to prepare
a sort of oyster bed for the propaga-
ton of the mussels, after which he be-
gan to aid nature in her work of MAX
ing pearls. In each shell he bored n
small hole, and thorugh it he intro
duced tiny bit of mother-of-pearl into
the body of the fish.
His work was now complete, and all
he had to do was to wait until nature
had completed the process. That he
will in time reap rich harvest seems
TO be the general opinion among nat
uralists. BY the way, this method OF
manufacturing pearls is not new, as
the Chinese are said to have practised
IL for centuries,

Modern scientific discoveries seem
to be of the greatest use in running
down criminals. A German diplomat
was telling the other day of curious
use of the microscope for this purpose
recently made in Prussia. A barrel OF
specie sent from the frontier to Berlin
was robbed and filed with sand. This
was supposed to have been done on the
way to Berlin. An eminent chemist
obtained samples of all the sand near
the stations of which the barrel passed
and by means of blowpipe and micro.
scope found sand of the station al

How Long We Have to Live.

There is very simple rule for finding
the average number of years which
persons of any age may expect to live
If the present age be deducted from
so, two-thirds of the remainder is the
answer required. This result is moi
absolutely accurate, but it is near
enough. For instance, man aged &c
might, by this rule, expect to live 4(
years longer, which is just what the
latest actuarial tables give. At 4(
the expectation of life works out al
nearly % years, while the tables give
it as more than rs years. AT 60 the
above rule allows just over 10 years
and the table shows q little less.

THE IDEAL PIANO HAND.

cult problem is to obtain the freedom OF
the little and ring fingers from the
movements of the middle finger.
When the anatomy of the muscles of
the hand is studied it will be found
that these fingers are connected cross
wise by tendons of great strength,
which are the cause of their simulta-
neous movements and render indie
pendent motion almost impossible.
DR.. Rartaz, of Paris, has undertaken
recently number of operations on
the hands of pianists, successfully cut
ting the muscles "a and b in the cut)
connecting these fingers, and giving
their hands freedom of movement
which could not have been attained even
by the most persistent efforts in the
ordinary way. 1t appears that the
first operation of the kind was made
by Philadelphia surgeon. DIR. Forbes,
with whom the idea was original.
Many years ago Able List, the ia

performed, which went much further
