EMBARRASSING KINDNESS.
Thoughtful Young Woman Has
Trouble with IA Thread Hanging

There is one young woman in Phila

benevolent disposition received Sc

church and sat directly behind a tall
weli-dressed stranger, who had a raw
cling hanging over his collar.
Being one OF those generous-heart

be motherly old ladies', a friend t.
everybody in town, she thought how
glad she would be il some kind-heart
ed girl would do as much for her ia.

a raveling hanging down his back; SO
when the congregation rose for the
first hymn she decided to pick IL off.
Carefully raising her hand, she gave
a little twitcb. but the travelling was
longer than she supposed, and "a foot
or more of thread appeared.
Setting her teeth she gave a pull
and about yard more of that horrible
thread appeared.
This was getting embarrassing, but
still determined, she gave another
yank, and then discovered that she
was unraveling the mans undershirt,

man in the operating chair, according
TO the Philadelphia Times.
"Oh, by experimenting. You see
always used to shave myself in the
morning the first thing after getting
up, but hated to do it, because it was
SO apt to make me late for breakfast.
So one night l shaved myself at IL
o'clock and went straight to bed and
to sleep. Do you know, my face was
almost clean when / got up? You
would have sworn, unless you had ex-
amined me closely, that l was fresh
from the razor. And ever since then

have been given credit for shaving in
the morning. The growth of the
beard, you see, is practically imper-
ceptible during the eight or nine hours
OF your sleep.
But il you should stay awake those
eight or nine hours the growth would
be as fast as usual. One night, after
l had shaved, l had to stay up with
my sick daughter, and almost needed
second scraping in the morning
The beard grows, in my opinion. three
times as fast when you are awake as
IT does when you are asleep"

ing when the residences of Flavel
Shirtleff, George H. Littlewood and
DR.. George F. Gray were entered be-

discovered, and kept their victims at
bay with revolvers and talked with
them. Mr.. Littlewood is troubled with
heart disease and one of the robbers

what has been done with them. Mi
nor propositions are the bringing of
native band, showing the talent

and an organization of the native

USE OF HORsEHIDE.
4 New York Leather Merchant Gives
Some Interesting Facts

Some Interesting Facts
"The useof horsehide in razorstrops
is familiar, but this is only one of the
many uses to which this valuable
leather is put" said a New York
leather merchant to a writer for the
Washington Star the other day.
"Some parts Of the hide are used for
shoe upper, the leather produced for
the purpose being called Cordovan,
from Cordova, in Spain, where it was
first made. Cordovan is fine, strong,
handsome leather, which costs about
the same as the finest calfskin. Horse
hide is used also for the manufacture
Of gloves and mittens, and in book
binding, and there is made off an eX-
cellent imitation of buckskin. Horse
hide is used in making whiplashes,
and some parts of it are used formak-
ing shoestrings; it is used largely for
carriage leather, in covering seats,
and so on. Horsehide is much thin
ner than cowhide.
"The supply of horsehides comes
chiefly from cities. Large quantities
Of ho7sehides are imported from Eu-
rope, the greatest number Of these
coming from Russia. The finest Of
ell hoSehides come from Normandy,
in France. City hOrsehides are com
monty the best, and the best of all
American horsehides come from the
fine, big draught horses used by brew
ers and others.
GAS compared with the number Of
sowhides and other hides tanned, the
number of horsehides is, of course
limited, butinthe aggregated iSlarge
amounting to between 10000 ant
SOO, 1000 hides annually in this coun.
ky."

Some Odd Estimates

some q
q have been doing a little figuring
on time" remarked an cratic citizen
yesterday, "and / have reached some
rather interesting conclusions. ]
wanted to find out how much time
man consumed in keeping tab on time,
and l found that, if the whole world
is considered in the computation,
years would be crowded into a second
Of time. To illustrate what / mean,
take q city where 100000 watches are
wound up every day. Now, it takes
probably an average Of 10 seconds to
wind a watch. 1t would take, then,
100000 seconds to wind 100000
watches. This would mean $4,000
minutes, OF $50 hours and ten min
utes, OF 25 days and is hours. Isup-
pose there are in the city Of New Or
leans 100000 watches and clocks to
be wound up every day, so that nearly
a month is spent in the city every day
in winding watches and clocks. One
man, in ayears time, would consume
5,475 seconds in winding his watch
If he is prompt about it and is willing
to give Is seconds every day to this
useful article. This would mean sew
eral hours during every year that he
kept up the practice. Allowing 35
years as the life, a man would
spend 1885 seconds, or $3.50 min
utes and Al seconds, or $50 hours and
ten minutes, or 22 days and 20 hours
in winding his watch. From the view
point of the individual the time con-
sumed in keeping tab on time is no
very great thing, but nthe aggregate
it is a great big thing. would have
an immense fortune if l could get a
dollar a day for every day consumed
in one days time in winding the
watches and the clocks of the world.
OF course it takes much longer to
wind a clock than it does and
there are some big clocks that really
take up considerable amount Of time
when it comes to the matter Of wind
ing them. The amount Of time con-
sumed in this way just occurred to me
while figuring on some Of the smaller
things that demand attention in life,
and some of the matters are really sur
prising when we begin to figure on
them. But the idea Of New 0rlean,
spending nearly a month every day in
winding watches and clocks struck
me as being particularly nOvel."-N
