BARBER WAS JUSTIFIED.

From the New York Tribune.
 A Japanese barber was shaving a GUS toner who expressed the belief in a pos sibility of Japanese defeat by the Rus sians. The barber was so startled and shocked that he inflicted a severe gash 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 gash been nten- tional, it was not more than the cir cumstances required. and was possibly a meritorious action.

gain and of his own accord send him
 away thus to recuperate.
 But Is 1t not absurd to suppose that
 man who can work for eleven and half
 months cannot as we'll work the whole year? Is 1t not equally absurd to suppose
 that a man can in two weeks recuper-
 ate from the wear and tear of a years
 work, If there be such wear and tear2 On the contrary, I have too often observ-
 ed that men will. while on their vaca-
 tions, make inroads upon their vitality and purses that canot be repaired in the following eleven months and two weeks Then, again, the loss of time, the dis organization of business, that result from
 the absence of a valuable man from his desk are difficult to repair. A man
 sometimes must spend weeks catching up
 with work that has accumulated while
 he was away for a fortnight.
 If man will only take an interest In
 his work, love it. he will not need any
 thing else to recuperate him, and men
 who learn to love their work invariably
 succeed.
 A man should work easy be econom- ical of his time, conserve his forces and
 not worry. It's worry and not work that
 makes the hair gray.
 The doctors may recommend a change of air for man when he's sick; but why
 be sick? Sickness is an irreparable loss of time. If I had thousand tongues I'd
 preach Save tlme' with them all. It's infinitely more valuable than money. We read of Gladstone, who got all the recuperation he needed by simply chang ing his work He didn't quit work and go iding about. Time was the most precious thing in the world for him, and by avail | ing of every minute of 1t he practically I did the work in an army of men.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.
he New York Press

From the NeW 1ofK FTess.
 It's awful generous the way girl will admit you are fascinating to think she is so beautiful.
 It Is very exasperating to have to say good night to a girl in the rain unless she will hold the umbrella.
 No woman can ever resist taking the advice of the man who tunes her piano on how to make her rubber plants grow. If man would like to make dinner calls with his wife she would consider him the nearest possible thing to the ideal husband. The girl who can refrain from bIushing when it would be immodest to do 1t is not likely to go very far from the path of innocence.
