jap Barber Is Astounded.

A Japanese barber was shaving a
customer who expressed belief In a
possibility of Japanese defeat by the
Russians. The barber was so startled
and shocked that he inflicted severe
cash on the face of his customer, who
had him arrested. But the barber
was honorably acquitted, not without
hint from the court that, even had
the cash been intentional, 1t was not
more than the circumstances required.

It is not a pleasant thought that
the brilliant white note paper which
your hand rests upon may have in it
the fibers from the filthy garment Of
some Egyptian fellah after it has
passed through all the stages Of de-
cay until it is saved by ragpicker
from the gutter of an Egyptian town;
and yet it is fact that hundreds OF
tons of Egyptian rags are exported
every year into America to supply
our paper mills
At Mannheim on the Rhine the
American importers have their rag
picking houses, where the rags are
collected from all over Europe, the

shapes, bits of jewelry, human bones,
cannon balls, several old cannon, and
a now and then golden guinea COM
prise the sum total Of the treasure
recovered from the British ship HUI
Ear which, in 1850, went down near
He'll Gate, New York, with $4,SO0,0OO
in gold and silver sent to this coun-
try from England for the payment OF
King Georges army.
Many attempts have been made to
recover the millions locked in strong
boxes in the ships hold, the first in
1894 by the British government.
Two briggs arrived at Port Morris,
where the Huzzar disappeared and at
tempted to raise her by means Of
grapples. The expedition labored for
two seasons, and was then ordered
off by the American government,
upon whose rights it was encroaching.
Another attempt was made by an
English company in 1919. Work was
prosecuted with the use of the diving
bell, but the powerful currents were
so strong that the undertaking was
soon abandoned.
Subsequent to this, the vast prom
Use tempted several other companies
to undertake the recovery OF the
guineas, one of which employed Mr.
George w. Harrington of Wakefield,
Mass.

that remained of the wreck was thick
~ veneered with greenish weed, slip
perry to the touch. Her open ports
gaped like societies. eyes, drift sand
had piled about her, the places of her
masts were marked by jagged,
spongy stumps, and the gnawing cur
rent had stripped her to a skeleton
appearance.
The first sight of her down in the
murky depths, gave him the creeps.
Her guns, which had done hard and
frequent service against the French,
had slipped down through the decks
to the heap of gold, bones, manacles,
round shot and rubbish below.
Divers Jared her old bones with
blasts, picked over the aroused re-
mains, delved here and there for
many months, but the mighty cur
rents had thrown insurmountable OBJ
stacles in their way.
A short distance from the shore is
a steep precipice under the water. 1t
was over this declivity that the ship
slid when her commander tried to
beach her.
Hawsers had been sent to land, but
the trees they were fastened to were
uprooted when her stern dipped over
and shot below into the watery val
ley. She lies with her bow directly
against this rocky wall.
In various parts Of this country, in
museums, are numbers of water-worn
relics taken from the wreck. Several
rust-pitted cannon are in the Central
park museum, New York.
