IN OLDEN TIMES.
Many Things Were Dinerent-NOwa
Days the Public Profits by
Experience.

When the striped pole or sign which
now indicates "A barber shop was en-
| ployed to let the public know where
cupping or blood-letting was profess
| sionally performed, close shaves were
of daily occurrence, not the easy re-
moyal of the hirsute or hairy adorn-
ment of the head and face. but close
shaves from entering eternity More
than one unfortunate entered the bar

corpse or so weak that weeks were re-
quired TO get the victim of malpractice
or his feet. Blood-letting was used
for everything from a heartache TO "a
corn, and a pain in the loins was in
variably treated with two incisions, one
on each side of the spine. Like plasters
and liniments, these helped from the
counter irritation they created and we
may presume that had Mr.. Calvin Will
son, proprietor of the leading shay
ing parlor of Niles, Mich, lived i'm the
time of George Ill. of England, in
place of taking the course he did "a

Second Hand Church Pews.

Standing closed up together on the
fiat roof of one of the buildings occu-
pied by a dealer in secondhand build
ing materials were a lot of church
pews. When church is torn down to
be replaced by new one, or perhaps
by business building. the old struc-
ture is sold to the dealer in second
hand building material. The pews are
sold. most likely, for use in some
country church that is being fitted up
economically. Such pews are Occa-
sionally sold for use in schools.
Secondhand church pews are by no
means an everyday item of the deal
ers stOck-churches are not torn down
every day-but they have long been
an occasional item OF ii, and there is
always market for them. They may
not sell the first day they come in. nor
the first week, but sooner or latr
somebody buys them; and the same is
true of everything, without exception,
that comes into the dealers posses
sion, however odd il may be. There
was taken, some years ago from an
Olu DulluluEs IL OIS SlOHc ltdi, an AM
mails head of some sort, grotesquely
carved, resembling somewhat the
head of giant dog This curious
stone head, placed outside the dealers
office, attracted attention and COM
ment, and yet it would scarcely seem
as though anybody would want to
buy it; but somebody did, and it
brought "A fair price 1t was sold to
the owner of "A seaside resort.
The bulk of the secondhand build
ing material is used mostly within a
radius of from fifty to 100 miles.
Things are sometimes sold to be
shipped much greater distances. A
city dealer has lately sold some build
ing material to go TO Texas Second
hand materials have been shipped
from here as far away as California.
Such shipments are likely to be OF
such things as fine, heavy, solid, old
mahogany doors, or old mantels. For
old interior house fittings of this sort,
OF the fine quality, there is always a
demand.

Somebody has yet to explain why it

Somebody has yet TO explain why II
is that the giddy crowds of Americans
who rush over the land In summer are
greater vandals In small things than
almost any people on the face of the
earth. They invade private domains,
they despoil graves and gardens. they
chip off souvenirs from public monu-
ments, and they disregard wholly all
the rules which are made to preserve
works of art for the benefit of the
many. The gentle Rosalind, whose
taper fingers would not main a mos
quito, does not hesitate 10 strip the
brass letters from tablet and put
them in her reticule. The cry has
gone up again this summer that the
pilfering relic hunters are defacing our
noblest monuments. This is not done
in England or Germany or France,
where the people themselves take a
reverential pride in oid landmarks and
memorials. Can il be possible that
our ruthless individuality comes out in
this discouraging and barbaric way?

SILENCED THE BULLY.
The Countryman Was Equal to the
Little Task.

"The biggest courtroom bully ever

Louisville bar. | practiced in that
city for several years after | was ad-
mitted. and | used TO encounter him
now and then in the local courts He
was very large. portly man with
singularly intlmidating presence, and
when he got nervous witness in his
clutches the way he would put on
the screws was something frightful.
The habit led one day TO a remark
able scene. of which happened 10 be
spectator He was engaged in the
trial of case involving the title 10
some farm lands, and number of
countrymen were called to testify on
the other side. They were naturally
i'll at ease, being unused to city ways
and when Simmondson came to cross
examine he found them easy prey. He
harassed them in every imaginable
manner. and whenever they would
show signs of confusion would roar
out, What are you hesitating for? Are
you afraid you may tell lieT If the
victim replied No., Simmondson
would retort, Il was sure you didn't
fear a little thing like that and If
the answer was Yes he would say
with IA sneer: Aha! l thought sov In
short. he had them both ways, and
the poor fellows, being strangers to
repartee, were badly discounted.
"The last witness he took in hand
was tall, lank farmer. with very
thoughtful eye. He had watched the
batting of his neighbors in dead ST.
lence, and took the stand with per-
feet composure Simmondson evi-
dently set him down as a lout. and
when the witness hestated over some
questions "A moment later he fired his
favorite shot What are v studying

any apparent haste the countryman
picked up a massive inkstand and
hurled il straight at SimmOndson's
head, catching him on the bridge OF
the nose and knocking him perfectly
senseless. That's what | was a study

of dead silence that followed the act.
Needless 10 say, a tremendous hub
bub ensued, but everybody was secret
ly pleased, and, while the judge fined
the farmer heavily for contempt, he
subsequently RENTED the sentence.
SimmOndson was carried home and
was laid up for several weeks. When
he emerged he was as gentle as
dove, and il was said he never bullied
another witness. He subsequently
drifted out to California, where he
died during the war."-New Orleans

Inspired kiDling,

Rudyard Kipling did not at all like
the United States when he first visit
ed the country, but that was in 1880,
when he was going out to India TO be-
come sub-editor on the Lahore
News
Years later. when he was writing
"The Light That Failed" he met in
London citizen of Illinois who had
read the Lahore News in 1850. and
who resented the imputations found
there. 1t was a friendly and informal
meeting of American and English
newspaper men and writer's of more
serious matter, and the critic called
Kipling's attention 10 some errors In
his impressions"
Il think" said he, "men are much
the same everywhere. \ weak man
in America would be weak man
in London-or Zuzuland. And there
are strong men east and west, and
-erywhere"
IF. Kipling, who had admitted his
error, rolled clumsily on his side, and
wrote on the tlyleaf of a book:
For there is neither east nor west,
Border, nor breed. nor birth,
When two strong men stand face to
face,
Though they come from the ends
of the earth
And this he tore out and handed to
his American critic
That's good sentiment" said the
latter, ''and it's the truth"
The incident was closed" after that
and the party dispersed. But when
east and west appeared later in the
Ballads" the Illinois man found him
self in possession of the original draft
of that prelude.-Saturday Evening

Prince EsterhaZy. the head of the
great Hungarian family, is taking pro-
ceedings against the commandant with
view to preventing him from using
that name alone, says the London
Telegraph, it being argued that he
ought always TO call himself Walsin-
Esterhazy and, further, from treating
himself to the title of count and of
bearing his arms. In the appeal which
he has addressed to the president Of
the civil court of the Seine. the prince
explains that it is his right and his
duty to see that his patronymic, his
title and his arms, which are family
property, are not uSurDed by foreign
ers. The suppression of the name Wal
sin creates, as he maintains, confusion
which is simply deplorable. Then he
gives what he believes TO be the true
origin of the first Walsin- ESterhaZy.
On May Z. 1867. boy was born at
Wellerauge. in the Gard, who was bap-
tized and registered in the following
October, and to whom were given the
Christian names of Jean Marie
Auguste. so mention being made either
of the father or of the mother In
1896 this individual married IA Mile.
Cartier. at Mines. and was entered in
the register as Jean Marie Auguste Es-
terhaZy Two sons were born of this
marriage. the younger. Louis Joseph
Ferdinand. at Mines, in 1907. Jean
Marie Auguste was then set down aS
Walsin- Esterhazy. This younger son
was the father of the major. He rose
TO the rank Of general, and fought in
the Crimea Now Prince EsterhaZy
contends that Wasin- Esterhazy is the
name 10 which the cOmmandant
should stick. and he explains. in con-
clusion. that he knew nothing about
him until lately. as he hardly ever
leaves Hungary, and as during the
last thirty years the members of his
family have only paid few and brief
visits TO Paris. But better late than
never. the more SO rs recent and no.
torious events do not allow him TO toll
crate the usurpatiOn of his name any
longer" Accordingly these proceed
higs have been instituted. The case
will come shortly before the civil court
of the Seine Maitre Decor appearing
for Prince Esterhazy, while Maitre
Calanes will. in all probability. act
for the major. who, as this appeal
makes out. is the great grandson of
the romantic marriage.

BOMBARDED BY METEORS.


The regions of space beyond our
planet are filled with flying fragments.
Some meet the earth i'm its onward
rush; others. having attained incon-
ceivable velocity. overtake and crash
into the whirling sphere with loud de
tonation and ominous glare, finding
destruction. or perhaps ricocheting
again into the unknown.
Some come singly. vagrant fabrics
from the infnity of space; others fall
i'm showers like golden rain. all con-
stituting a bombardment appalling in
its magnitude.
Ii has been. estimated that every
twenty-four hours the earth on its at
mOsphere is struck by 400,OOOOOO OF
missiles of iron or stone. ranging from
an ounce up TO tons in weight.
Every month there rush upon the
flying globe at least 1900, 100000 iron
and stone fragments, which. with lurid
accompaniment. crash into the circum-
ambient atmosphere.
Owing to the resistance offered by
the air, few of these solid shots strike
the earth. They mGye out of space
with n possible velocity of thirty or
forty miles second, and. like moths,
plunge into the revolving globe, lured
to their destruction by its fatal at
traction.
The moment they enter our atmos-
phere they ignite; the air is piled up
and compressed ahead of them with
inconceivable force. the resultant fric-
tion producing an immediate rise in
temperature. and the shooting star,
the meteor of popular parlance, is the
result.-Popular Science Monthly.

Electricity For Baiky Horses.

A Pennsylvania gentleman owned
a horse that would have been valua-
ble but for what seemed an inerad-
icable vice of baking, says the
Youths Companion. A friend sug-
gested that electricity might cure him.
The gentleman purchased a small
storage battery, connected it by wires
to the bit and crupper, and placed 1t
in the cart to which the horse was at
tached. As was anticipated, the horse
refused to move and stood with all
four feet braced.
Then the owner touched the button
connected with the battery. When
the horse felt the shock he snorted,
jumped, and began to move off at a
lively pace. Every day for a week he
was treated to the same lesson. As n
result, his owner declares that the
horse is completely cured of his evil
ways.
The West Pennsylvania Humane
Society, which Investigated the gen.
tleman's method, came to the conclu-
sion that n small amount of electricity
used In this way was more humane
