His Face spoi1s Razors.

'Did you see the man who just went
out?" asked an uptown barber of a
customer as swarthy individual left
the shop. Eyes? Well, he spoils q
razor every time l shave him, and he
comes here twice n week regularly.
He is stonecutter, and the grit and
dust are so imbedded in the pores of his
face that it is like drawing q razor
over the side of a stone. l always use
the best tools 1 have upon him, but
they are not stone proof, and dull
razor is the result when his beard is
removed.
"He is a customer upon whom lose
money, and am glad to say that he is
the only stonecutter who favors me
with his patronage. l often wonder
how it is that he doesn't vince when
the razor strikes a section of stone
that is imbedded in his face and
bounds off, but it is probably because
his skin is SO hardened that he feels
no ill effects" - Philadelphia Tele-
graph.

Ascertained facts seem to show us
that by the lower forms of animal life
very little pain, as we understand the
word, can be felt at all. HOLSTERS, for
instance, will voluntarily deprive them
selves of their claws If suddenly alarm
ed by some such sound as that caused
by the firing of a heavy gun above
them. A crab, seized while feeding by
a greater and stronger, will continue
its meal while being itself devoured.
A fish, torn and mangled by the hook.
will return in moment or two to the
bait, with its appetite unimpaired.
A blindworm or a sand lizard, II I'M
expectedly seized. will snap its body in
twain and glide away, none the worse
for the mutilatiOn, to reproduce the
severed substance. 1t Is hard, indeed.
in cases such as these to insist that
pain, in our sense of the term, can be
In any real degree endured.

an plnmtern wore Architacta.


Very few Of the old houses of the
south, except some of the Georgian
houses Of Charleston. which belong to
an earlier period than the white col
umned houses of the early nineteenth
century, have deliberately decorated In
teriors. The reason is not far to seek.
Except In the seacoast cities Of the
south skilled labor was rare, and ar
chitects were almost unknown. The
great majority of planters therefore
were compelled either to import their
architectural designs or draw them
themselves. Most of them preferred TO
do the latter las Thomas Jefferson pre-
ferred to draw his own plans for Mon
ticello) and to oversee personally the
construction of the houses.
With this end in view almost all
men of means in the south prior to the
civil war were students of architecture
and ready purchasers Of such architec-
tural plates as were published from
time to time. To this day heavy vol
umes on Greek architecture-technic
works that only students would care
to own-are to be found as features Of
such old family libraries as are still
preserved throughout the south.-MrS.

One of the first attempts at making
a closed stove of iron was made by
Cardinal Polignac in 1909, and seven
years later an attempt was made to
introduce stoves of this kind into Eng
land, but without success, owing to the
prejudice of English people in favor of
seeing their fire.
The Franklin stove was invented by
DR.. Franklin in 1745, and quarter of
a century later, in 1911, and during a
few years following the discoverer Of
electricity invented several other
stoves, one of which was designed for
burning bituminous coal and which
had a downward draft and consumed
its own smoke.
Count Rumford was the next person
to make an invention looking to the
improvement of stoves and during the
ten years between 1885 and 1895 de-
vised several improvements.

1.-THE length Of time prescription
retains its efficacy depends upon the in
gradients" said a druggist. ''Some
combinations of drugs keep on good
terms with each other indefinitely,
while others get into a row after being
mixed together for awhile, and the
man who swallows dose of the COM
pound is apt to feel good deal worse
than before he took it. AS a rule, nedi-
cines that are quite sweet keep their
curative virtues longer than those that
are acid or bitter. Most any medicine
can be taken in safety six months after
compromising, and many will be all
right six years hence. Those that are
not good generally take on a curdled,
milky appearance, but that is by no
means an infallible rule, and the per-
son who wishes to save his system un-
comfortable complications would do
well to let all old medicines strictly
alone. New York Press.

An odd sight to be seen in Spanish
cities is the manner of moving house
hold effects. In cities like Toledo and
Cordova the streets are mostly very
narrow and the houses TALL sometimes
six or seven stories. The streets are
often so narrow that horse vehicles are
not permitted in them. When the peo-
pie move from place to place their
household goods and chattels are trans
ported in handcarts. Then, instead of
being painfully lugged up the narrow
staircases, for there are no elevators,
they are hoisted in large baskets by
means of block and tackle to the par
ticular floor to which they are destined.
When there, they are passed in through
large doorlike windows. In most of
these cities one sees ornamental iron
hooks projecting from the topmost cor
nice of the facade, to which the tackle
is adjusted. 1t works on precisely the
same plan as that followed in Ameri-
can stable lofts for hoisting hay.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
washington, July q, 1908.

washington, July "a, 1908.
The post-office investigation still con-
tinues, although the postmaster. general
Is not In Washington, and has not been
for some time. First Assistant Post
master General Wynne Is acting post
master-general, and Fourth Assistant
Postmaster. General Brlstow Is still pur-
suing the investigation. Since Mr.. Payne
left Washington, Charles Hedges, super
intendent of city delivery, has been sum-
marily dismissed for falsifying his pay
accounts. Numerous instances were dis
having been in one place when he was
actually In another, and to having been
engaged In official business when he was
attending to his private affairs. By so
disappearing the facts Hedges secured
from the government "a per day for trav-
cling expenses, to which he was not en-
titled. Hedges was the first assistant of
A. w. Machen and the Intimate friend of
postmaster general. There are many
charges against Rand, who was intimate
ly associated with several of the men who
have been dismissed, and, in some in
stances, Indicted, and he himself Is now
undergoing an investigation. Since my
last letter George W. Beavers, the former
superintendent OF the division of salaries
and allowances, has been indicted, al
though not yet apprehended. His indlct-
ment Is based on his having accepted
commissions from the Brandt-Dent Auto
matte Cashier company, whose machines
were extensively purchased by his dIvis-
lon.
The bureau of immigration has just re-
eeived an important report from Conf
Dental Agent Marcus Braun, who ad-
vises the bureau that large number of
the most undesirable Jews from Kishineff
are making arrangements to immigrate
to this country, as result of the recent
massacre. Mr.. Braun also reports that
many very undesirable Jewish immigrants
are coming to this country constantly
from Roumaris and other parts Of Gen.
trail Europe. He further reports that the
contract labor laws of this country are
laughed at. He refers especially to wood
choppers intended for work In the Ten
nessee forests who are sent to Galveston
and other southern ports and thence by
rail to Tennessee. Another favorite
route for Illegal immigrants Is via Mexico,
the immigrants being shipped over the
line at points off the line of railroad.
