THE MAN WITH THE ADJ.
Wonderful Accuracy of His Aim
the Butchers Block.

the Butchers Block.
Outside a butcher shop twenty or
thirty persons stood watching a man
at work with an adj. He stood on
large oaken block, such as meat Is
chopped on, which he had taken from
its legs and placed on the curb, sioplng
toward the street. The surface OF the
block had become SCARED and rough
ened from use. With clean, accurate
strokes of the adj the man soon made
il as smooth as a mahogany table. Ii
was the wonderful accuracy of his aim
that made passersby stop to look at
him. He paid no attention to them. A
single false blow would have ruined
the block. When the job was done, the
man helped the butcher mount the
block, collected s. and went or TO
keep another appointment.
1T has taken me twenty-three years
TO learn to chop like that" he said to
a reporter. MY charge is from 50 to
SO, according to the size of the block.
A block requires evening off in that
way every three or four years. l have
customers now that I had when first
began business, twenty-five years ago.
In all that time have spoiled only two
blocks, and they were during the two
years Of my apprenticeship. The butch
ers can get their chopping blocks put
In condition by sending them to the
sawnilI. But 1t is more expensive, and
they can't spare them so long from the
shops. There is enough work Of this
kind I'm New York to keep myself and
half a dozen others busy."-New York

WAYS TO ADVERTISE.
The Wise Man May Easily See Which
In the Best Method.

If you have goods to sell, advertise.
Hire a man with lampblack kettle
and brush to paint your name and
I number on all the railroad fences. The
cars go whizzing by so fast that no
| one can read them, to be sure, but
perhaps the obliging conductor would
stop the train to accommodate an in
quisitive passenger.
Have your card in the hotel register
by all means. Strangers stopping ut
hotels for a night generally buy q cigar
or two before they leave town, and
they need some inspiriting literary food
| besides.
IL an advertising agent wants your
business advertised in q fancy frame
ut the depot, pay him about 200 per
cent more than 1t is worth and let
him put it there. When a man has
three-quarters of a second in which to
catch train he invariably stops to
read depot advertisements, and your
card might take his eye.
OF course the street thermometer
dodge Is excellent. When a mans fin-
gers and ears are freezing or he Is puff
ing and ''phewing' at the heat is the
time above all others when he reads
al advertisement.
Have thousands of little dodgers
printed and hire few boys to dis
tribute them. You've no idea how the
junk dealer and paper and rag man
will respect you.
\ boy with a big placard on q pole
Is an interesting object on the street
and lends dignified air to your estab-
lishInent. Hire about two.
Advertise on a calendar. People
never look at calendar to see what
day of the month it is. They merely
glance hurriedly at it so as to be sure
that your name IL spelled with or
without ''p," that's all
But don't think Of advertising in q
well established, legitimate newspaper.
Not for n moment. Your advertise
ment would be nicely printed and
would find Its way into all the thrifty
households of the region, where are the
farmer, the mechanic, the tradesmen
in other lines and into the families of
the wealthy and refined, all who have
articles to buy and money with which
TO buy them, and it would be read and
pondered, and people would come down
to your store and patronize you and
keep coming in increasing numbers, and
you might have to hire an extra clerk
or two, move into larger block and
more favorable location and do d big
ger business, but of course it would be
more expensiye-an bring greater
prodts.-Detroit Free Press.

Korean Mems Hats.

The quaintest feature Of the pictur-
esque costumes of the Korean men IL
their hats. They are mousetrap-like
arrangements made from the hair of
the wearer's ancestors. This priceless
possession is handed down from father
to eldest son, who reaches the goal OF
his ambition at the moment when the
family hat is placed upon his head.
Another grotesque form of Korean
headdress is the mourning hat that Is
worn in rural districts by the eldest
son for three years after the death OF
either OF his parents. This conical
shaped affair OF rushes or rice straw Is
as large as busheI basket and extends
to the shoulders.

The Value of Exercise.

The brain that never calls upon itself
for work must become dull and stupid,
and it is the same way with the mus
cIes of the body. They are filed with
blood vessels that should be up and
doing. The blood has several purposes.
and one is to carry away the waste
fluids of the body. The lungs are a
sort of refinery, and the blood is dis
tlling agent. If the blood becomes
thick and unhealthy and sluggish the
body does not keep it's youthful state.
Eyes grow dull, lips lose their redness,
and the complexion is sallow and IN
lovely. 1t is an easy and simple mat
ter to make exercise habit.
