GRAY QUEUES RARE.
Immunity Said TO Be Due TO System
of MassaginR.


of Massaging.
"I saw a Chinaman in Mott street
whose queue was getting gray" said
the man of experience. 81 consider
those silver threads among the black
quite a phenomenon, and in my sur
prise at their appearance / stopped
the old fellow and asked him how
in the world he ever happened to get
them. He could understand but very
little English, however and speak less,
and as / was equally deficient IN
knowledge of the Chinese tongue, we
didn't make much progress in the mat
ter of explanation. Finally l went
into a barber's shop nearby and sought
to satisfy my curiosity there. Some
how L fancied the man must be an
octogenarian at the very least, but l
learned that he was still in his prime
and had, unlike the majority Of his
countrymen, turned prematurely gray.
This phase Of the matter confeunded
me all the more. In all my travels he
was the first gray-headed Chinaman
had ever seen, and l had met many
of his race here and in the far west
'Tt is really a curious thing, when
you come to think Of it, how rarely a
Chinaman shows his age, at least so
far as his hair is concerned 1 have
seen many of them who had turned
slightly gray around the temples, but
| had to wait until yesterday to find
pigtail streaked with white. The
Mott street barber assured me that
this immunity from gray hair is, In
great measure, due to the excellent
care bestowed upon celestial heads by
native shampooers. Seldom is it that
an American patronizes a Chinese
barber to test the benefcent proper
ties of his touch, but those who have
so experienced agree with the Chinese
patrons that he has q way about him
that puts new life and vigor into a
mans scalp. This efficacious massing'
ing, together with a certain oriental
tonic with which the water is per-
fumed, constitutes the secrets Of his
trade and preserves the locks Of Chi
nese customs in their pristine duski-
ness.
after 1 had parted from the gray
headed Chinsman poked around the
streets of the colony for an hour or
more on the lookout for another Of his
kind, but my search was vain. How
ever, there may be more gray heads
on Mongolian shoulders hidden away
in remote corners Of the city. If so
wish their owners would stand up to
be counted. New York Press.

The Passing of Central"

A very significant innovation is a
telephone system that does away with
Central" In practicable and sue
cessful operation in Fall River, Mass,
is a telephone exchange providing an
automatic arrangement whereby the
subscriber, by revolving a disk-some'
what like the disk of a combination
safe-until it checks off the number he
wishes to call for. rings up the num-
ber. Bringing the combination" to
the first number in the series he wishes
causes a switch in the Central" ex-
change to swing to certain group
of contracts the next number narrowS
the selection to a certain number OF
contacts in the group; the last brings
it to the identical spot required. The
caller then pushes a button and the
connection is established. If the line
is busy, a buzzing noise gives him
warning.
The cost of maintaining the mechani-
cal art Of the system has not Increased.
And though it works hardship to dis
charged employees, the system econo-
mizes in wages, for, with the exception
of necessary bookkeepers and a few
attendants to see that things run on
without bitches, force Of work-people
is not required Indeed, on Sundays
and during the night while the ex-
change is locked the instruments con-
tinue making their connections without
supervision. Privacy is secured.
Cheapness is secured, The automatic
telephone means another step in the
elimination of middlemen and the au-
tomatizing Of life.-The Worlds Work.

Secrets OF the Batn.

Chickweed was believed by Isabel OF
Bavaria to be good for the complexion,
and, accordingly, she had decoctions
Of it made, in which she bathed daily,
Dian Of Polctiers pinned her faith
TO cold rain water and took her ma
tutinal tub as regularly as any water
loving damsel Of to-day. The beau
ties Of the last century also believed
In bathing. bat they put all sorts of
strange things in the water to improve
their skins, says Womans Life.
Among the many other popular addi-
lions to the bath were veal broth,
water distilled from tho honey ex-
tracted from roses. raelon Juice, and
the milky extract of green barley, and
various preparations containing al
monds and yolks OF eggs. Queen Ma
rie Antolnette was fond of bathing
and liked the water made aromatic
with wild thyme, laurel leaves and
marjoram, with the addition of a lit

Paint as a Detective.

a temperature of 40 degrees Fahren-

SECURED A CONTINUANCE.
sharp Trick Perpotratod by an In
Eenious Illinois Lawyer.

genious Illinois Lawyer.
Ethan Allen Sniveley of Springfield
tells pretty good story of how, some
years ago when he was editor of Car
hnviIle paper, he brought the press
agent of circus to time and made him
pay the paper its price for a big ad-
vertisement by threatening to small
pox the show But up till last week we
don't know that we had ever heard Of
an attorney working this bluff on
court and jury, and the little incident,
which occurred in the county court, is
quite laughable.
w. H. Crow was attorney for a man
under indictment for an assault, and
the case had been continued several
times on one pretext and another, and
was up again, and the prosecution was
insisting on going to trial. Mr.. Crows
witnesses were not present, and to go
to trial under the circumstances would
surely result in a conviction of his
client, and just what to do he was at
a loss to know. The jury was in the
box ready to be passed upon and things
were becoming desperate for Mr.. Crow,
when all at once a bright thought
struck him, and, addressing his honor,
he announced that the defense was
ready for trial, but at the same time
stated that he thought it was only fair
to the court and all concerned to state
that his client had been exposed to
the smallpox and was just about due
to break out with it. But" said he,
las far as / am concerned, have had
smallpox and am not afraid of it, and
if the others interested in the case are
willing to proceed | am"
The bluff worked like a charm and
it is needless to say that it was the
unanimous opinion Of the prosecution,
judge and jury that they had better
take no chances, and the attorney got
his continuance. 1t, however, is due to
Mr.. Crow to state that his client resides
In a neighborhood where there has been
a case or two OF smallpox recently, and
may have been exposed, but up to last
accounts had not broken out yet.--Pike
County (IllinoiO) Democrat.

Prosperity does not bring content
ment to the wage-earning classes. The
great number Of strikes occurring
throughout the country proclaims the
fact, but what especially emphasizes it
Is the intensity Of feeling manifested by
and on behalf Of the strikers among
the social classes which they represent
A riotous mob practically held possess

conflict, where the fighting spirit arous-
ed can no longer be kept within due
bounds A little strike ont in Michi-
gan has developed "a resort to firearms,
and 50 it goes in various parts of the
country.
The situation is only a little less ug-
ly than it appears in hard times when
strikes prevail over reduction in wages,
az in 1877 and 1894 The discomfort Of
the wage classes is nearly as marked in
the one case rs in the other One reas-
on appears TO be that in times of indus
trial revival the returns to capital and
the profits OF capitalistic undertakings
increase much more rapidly than the
wages of labor; ana while nominal
wages advance real wages fall behind
in the greater advance of prices and
the cost of living. The average day s
labor commands n less degree of com
fort than in times Of depression. The
news of the day tells of the rapidly
accommodating fortunes of few through
the organization of trusts and the oper-
atoms of monopoly and the speculative
raids of the stock manipulators upon
the savings Of the people. And so the
wage workers are aroused to- struggle
for Il larger share in the distribution
of the gross product of industry, as
intense as the struggle to maintain their
footing when industrial reaction sets in
and capital comes to suffer most.
But beyond this there intrudes the
manifestation of class spirit on the
labor side of industry which good times
are about ~ pOwerless to soften rs hard
times are to keep in peaceful bounds
We appear to he making little or no
progress in promoting n genuine solidar-
itv of industrial forces The common
ground upon which capital and labor
are to work in peace and contentment
seem to be ~ far away rs ever Pros
perity is little more successful in bring
ing it to pass than adversely. And SO
prosperity is made to suffer in the wide
spread disturbances resulting.
The politicians, therefore who advise
letting well enough alone assume what
is to be proved Their "wellenough' is
evidently not sufficient even unto itself.
