THE recent overflow of the Brazos
river was one of the worst disasters of
the kind that has ever visited Texas.
President Moody, of the Galveston
Cotton Exchange, estimates the cotton
loss by flood at 100000 bales. The
firm of Fl. Kempner estimates the loss
at 100000; Julius Runge says the coto
ton loss represents about 334 per cent.
of the aggregate loss in the Brazos
Valley. Accepting Colonel Moody's
estimate, the lowest of the two, and
putting cotton at the low value OF 4
cents per pound, the monetary loss in
cotton by reason of the flood is S6,000,-
600. If that represents one-third of
the total loss, it means Texas has suf~
fered to the extent of Si8,0O0,000 by
the Brazos overflow

HE BREADS A RAZOR.
And He Has Good Reason to After
His Narrow Escape.

And He Has Good Reason to After
His Narrow Escape.
"There is a physician now stopping
at this house" remarked the proprietor
of one of the hotel barber shops, "who
has a mortal dread of razor in the
hands of another. 1t originated in re-
markable experience. Some years ago
he was in town in Iowa and stepped
into barber shop to get shaved. All
the chairs were filled, so he sat down to
wait. In few minutes one of the bar
bers called 'Nextp and he was getting
up when a gentleman who had just en-
tered addressed him.
I" Il am in a great hurry to catch a
train, he said, and would be very
grateful if you would allow me to take
the chair ahead of you.
"Such requests are not unusual, and
the doctor, wh<s is naturally obliging,
told him to go ahead and resumed his
seat The other man had hardly climbed
into position when the barber picked
up a razor and cut his throat from ear
to ear, killing him instantaneously.
''In spite of stories to the contrary,
think that is the only case of the kind
that ever happened in the United
States. The barber turned out to be in
sane, but the horror of the scene and
the almost miraculous character Of his
own escape made such an impression
on the mind of the doctor that he has
Sever since allowed anybody to shave
him.
"Only this morning I trimmed his
hair, and in finishing the job I started,
as is customary, to shape up the growth
of his temples with the corner Of my
razor The moment he caught sight OF
the blade he turned pale as death.
Don touch me with that! he exclaim-
ed. DO tire best you can with the scis-
sors and let the rest gol' He has known
me long time and suppose has conf
dence in my sanity, but the reminls-
cence was too much for him, and, really,

Have you ever observed at theaJer
or concert that the people who are most
deeply interested appear between the
acts to be quite weary Of the whole
thing, yawning half dozen times in
succession2 The reason of this is
physiological one. When your attention
is much absorbed in anything exciting
or touching, you breathe in very shall
low manner and take into your lungs
only half enough air. Consequently,
when your attention is relaxed, You
have to make up the deficiency. This
you do by yawning, which, after all. is
only breathing very deep breath.
If you watch a man at a play and
observe that he is greatly moved by
some incident, you may feel sure that
when the scene ends he will sigh and q
moment or two later yawn repeatedly.
Of course the yawning, so far from be-
ing sign of WEAKNESS, is proof OF
the liveliest appreciation.
Very often you will observe the same
phenomenon in a girl reading novel
And by her yawns you can tell when
the end of some absorbing incident Is
reached. Cincinnati Enquirer.

County Graveyards.

Eds. Record Union" In response
to an article printed two years ago in
your paper, concerning public grave
yards, why not have a law similar to
that of Illinois-that the county shall
own them, and that it be the duty of
the Supervisors to appoint a person, on
application, to keep the register and
look after burials. It would not be
any expense to the county, and then
persons, wishing to will or bequeath
could do SO and know that their wishes
would be carried out.
/ know of several graveyards where
many persons are buried with no one
in particular to look after them and
keep a register. In the mines, where
incorporated towns owned ground for
burial purposes, corporations have
ceased, to exist. and except through the
charity of the community any one do
mating ground would rather deed it to
the county than the public.

ones he associates with when alive
