COST OF KEEPING CLEAN.
One of the Masculine Gender Keeps
 aa Account.

One of the Masculine Gender Keeps aa Account.
 "Did you ever stop to think about how much it costs a man to keep clean, to keep in what the world would call a presentable condition" asked a rather fastidious gentleman yester- day, who also has an eye to the eco nomical side of life.
 Tt is no small thing when you come to think about 1t, and independent Of the things a man is required to buy dur ing the year, the bill will run up to rather neat sum. Men are forced to buy many things which are never count ed in the cost of living when he foots up the bill at the end of the year, and yet they tell in the aggregate when 1t comes to his bank account and his in- come generally. But was thinking of the plain, ordinary proposition of keep ing one's self clean. Take, for instance, the matter of laundry. The average cost to a single man is at least 50 cents week, and frequently the bill runs much above this figure. Clean clothes on this basis will cost $26 year. Then there Is a fellows barber bill, the cost of slaves. shampoOs, hair cuts and shines, and baths, and all these things tend to run the bill up.
 "Supposing that man will take two slaves every week, and this is the av- craze, this would make total of 104 slaves during the year, and at the mini- mum price of 10 cents for each shave 1t would amount at the end of the year to $10.40. Baths, on an average of one each week, and at a cost of 25 cents for each bath, would cost SIS a year. If he averages two shines week at minimum of 5 cents for each shine, the bill will amount to $5.20 for a year. One hair cut month, at the rate of 25 cents, and one shampoo, at the same rate, would amount to $6.
 Taking these things, and allowing for tips and things of that sort, 1t will be seen that man will spend probably $75 every year In keeping clean, and when you come to think of this amount 1t will really clothe the average fellow who makes no effort to keep up with the changes which mark the course of fashion. As a matter of fact, there are & great many men who do not spend this much for clothes during the year. It may be safely estimated that the average man spends more in actually keeping his body ans his clothes clean than he does for the things which clothe his body, and these things manage to keep his bank account down to that ex- tent" ."-NeW Orleans Times Democrat

THE DECLINE OF UNCAS
The Last of the Wild Cattle of Amer
 ica and Europe.

The Last of the Wild Cattle of Amer ica and Europe.
 Last year the rumor went round that there might be herd of, say fifteen, wild wood-bison in the wooded wilder ness of northwestern Canada, but this Is generally believed now to be an un- | founded rumor, and America is without its wild bison. There are some of these huge ungulates in captivity, but these are mostly crosses of domestic | cattle and the children of the former lord of the plains" At present gen. uine buffalo heads, horns and hides are very valuable, and the specimen which has been prepared for the Phila. delphia Geological Society by David McCadden Is worth several hundred dollars. When we look back and see that less than thirty years ago, in 1872 73 and "A, from 6,000,000 to 10,000,00O buffalo were slain on our western plains for their hides, 1t seems not in- credible that this tribe should be so effectually wiped out
 II Cn ohACAA ANAAO tlA v O " oA C O4 LAC Ac%Nt that at one time Europe was roamed over by an animal very like our buffa- To, says the Philadelphia Record. Piny and other early writers termed 1t the "bonassus" and to naturalists 1t is known to-day as bison bonassus," while his American congener Is called bison bison." But Europe still has its wild bison, while America has not. The European bison bonassus now lives in the forest of Bialowicza in LithuanIa, where 1t Is protected by the Czar of Russia and roams wild in the Caucasus It is a powerful, savage brute, which stands six feet in height and measures eleven feet in length. The angry bo- nassuS puts out his dark-red tongue, rolls his red eyes and dashes with fury at the object of his wrath. An old bull ruled for long time over the road running through the forest of Bialow- icza and did much damage. He stop ped carriages or sleighs, especially those laden with hay.
