A Quaint Island.

During the winter there are no Wis
itors at Heligoland and life Is very
dull on the island. Nearly all the
shops are shut, and If you want to buy
anything you have to ring or knock
before you can attract attention. Even
then you will very likely be asked to
call again tomorrow. The lodging
houses are also closed, and the fishing
boats are drawn up on the beach
above high-water mark. When snow
falls the children spend much of their
TIME in toboganning down the narrow
streets. At night the Heligolanders
gather in the public halls, the men
drink beer, smoke and play cards, and
the women dance There are no for
malities, as all the islanders have
known each other from infancy.

Very Lengthy Shaves.

The distance man shaves IN an
average lifetime, or the distance his
razor travels over his face, will be a
surprise to most people. From null
utude Of examples an average meas
urement around the chin, from ear TO
ear, is found to be 1917 inches. From
Where the beard starts on the throat
10 the chin, and thence to the edge
OF the upper lips, is AZ inches. You
must reckon that 1t is necessary TO
give two strokes of the razor to each
men or fraction Of an inch In order
10 cover all the surface, and go over
each section of the face twice In order
10 secure clean surface.
So multiplying the number Of strokes
W the number of times the razor Is
passed over the entire face, you get
the figure 4, and four times the two
ABOVE mentioned measurements gives
you the figures 30 and Is respectively,
which. added together, produce os.
therefore, the average man, whether
uark or fair, shaves Ga inches every
'"enty-four hours. With these figures
We arrive at the result that every man
wearing only a mustache shaves 2,O6S
teet 4 inches per year. Taking, then,

BRICK TRACK ROADS.
Bureau of Public Road Inquiry Claims
Important Advantages for
That system.

The director of the bureau of public
road inquiry under the department of
agriculture, after an exhaustive stud
of the subject, has come out strongly
in favor of the brick track" road. 1t
is estimated that the roads cost the
people of this country about $65O,O00,O 900
annually, good part of which is sunk
in mud roads with very poor results.
The advantages claimed for the brick
track road are as follows: 1t can be
built far more cheaply than stone
road; four or five times as heavy load
can be hauled on 1t with the same team
force; they can be maintained for about
one-tenth of the expense for repairs;
they prevent the formation of ruts, dust
and mud, which result from the grind
ing of wagon wheels on stone roads, and
of mud holes and dust, which occur on
country roads; the material for their
construction is also much more easily
accessible in most parts of the country
than that for stone roads. The require
ments for first-class highway are as
follows: A smooth, non-wearing sur
face for wheels; firm, non-slipping
footing for horses; low cost for building
and repairs; and absence of dust, mud
and noise. 1t will be seen that the brick
track road comes nearer fulfilling these
requirements than anything yet in
vented.

COST OF TRAIN LUXURY.
Room and Comfort for PASSENGERS
Materially Adds to the Ex-
pense of Travel.

It may be asked why the railway loco
motive does not pull passengers at a
lower rate. Because, says the Engineer
ing Magazine, it gives passengers so
much room, comfort and hig speed that
it has to carry ton of dead weight for
each passenger. A locomotive weigh
ing 100 tons pulls, at As miles per hour,
IL cars weighing 600 tons and contain
ing 760 people, weighing so tons, assum-
ing the passengers to be men, women
and children, but chiefly men, and to
average 131 pounds each; 400 pounds
of dead weight per passenger, when
every seat is taken. But cars cannot
average more than seven-tenths full.
The railway carries free the passen.
gers 150-pound trunk, and sends with
him toilet rooms, heating stoves and
bedrooms. These houses on wheels, and
the locomotive which draws them, have
to be made very heavy in order to get
the great strength made necessary by
high speed. If the railway could dis
pense with these comforts and luxuries,
and carry passengers packed closely in
side and on top of low-roofed, ram
shackle, unheated vehicles, like the old
stage, and at slow speed, 1t could pull
passengers at one-tenth to one-twen-
tieth the price of the old stage.
