IL was in a barber shop near the
Grand Central station. There was a
man in one OF the chairs getting a

and silently. 1t was not until the last
vestige of hirsute obstruction had sue
cumbed to the razor's edge, and the
patients face had been sopped, wiped.

barber deigned to open his lips. Then,

Having delivered himself OF this

bald as the aforementioned billiard
ball, and asked;
This must be what you used?"-

Jackson is q small boy of some or

JacksOn's tastes do not seem to run
IN the same channel, and, consequent.
ly, when the monthly report Is sent

Finding that counter-irritation did not
produce the desired result, his father
made game OF him In every conceiv-
able manner, telling him that he
would never amount to anything II he
did not do better work. His remarks
on these occasions became so often
sive to the child who was rather sen.
sitive and did not relish tho idea OF
being ridiculed in the presence OF
his brother and sister, that he said to
his father the last time he brough,
home a report:
Father, why do you talk to me like
this and make so much fun of me?"
His father replied: jackson, II

Surgeons Only Guess at Cause Of
Queer Phenomenon.

Perhaps the strangest use to whick
music can be put is to stop the flow
OF blood from wound. An army
doctor noticed that when a wounded
soldier vas taken 70 within an easy
hearing distance of music hemorrhago
was greatly reduced or stopped. Nei,
Their he nor others, who confirmed his
observations, could understand how
this phenomenon was brought about.
but 1t is now believed that the yibra-
ton OF the air produced by the music
causes the patient to become faint. 10
which case the action Of the heart is
so considerably lessened that the
overflow OF blood is reduced.

OLDEST OF LIBEL SUITS.
One in England Has Been in Court
for Nearly Century

There is a libel case between the
postofice authorities and the Times
standing unheard for nearly 100 years.
1t seems that In 807 the Times bit.
terly attacked the postoffice. and the
occasion of its attack was as follows:
In these days the postal authorities
acted not merely as carriers of let
tiers and the like, but there was a
news agency in connection with the
department, and this news agency
charged the sum OF Gl00 to each
newspaper in the kingdom for the
supply of brief summary OF foreign
news daily. In order to encourage
this side Of their business the heads
of the pCstottice Of that time con.
ceived the brilliant notion Of delaying
foreign newspapers in order that
news services might not suffer from
competition. This went on for a time,
until the Times got TO hear OF it, and
a bitter and not undeserved attack
was the consequence. The postoffice
replied by the service of a writ for
libel, and il was considered to be
, desirable to say nothing more about
1t. But the function OF supplying the
summary Of news was soon discon.

DOOR OF VARIOUS RACES.
Marked Difference Between the oc-

Able Hue tells in his account OF his
travels in China that when he hao so
completely mastered the Chinese Ian
guage, and so transformed his per.
soual appearance that he passed for n
native OF the country, he could not de-
ceive the dogs, which detected him
by their sense OF smell and invariably
barked at him as he passed by. He
further states that the musky odor
which may be observed In articles i'm
ported from China pervades the whole
country and is one Of the distinctive
marks of the Chinese race. A jap
anese doctor of medicine returns the
compliment on the behalf OF the orr
entail by declaring that the occidental
races have an odor which is not agree
able to tho Asiatics. though in pro
cess of time they get so accustome.

PREACHED HIS TWO SERMONS.
How Scotch Minister Administered
Spiritual Food to Conoreuatlon.

Spiritual Food to Congregation.
Scotch minister tells of an old.
fashioned brother of the church who
insisted on preaching two long ser.
mons every Sunday. This feature in
his character he exhibited in the win.
ter months to very trying extent.
During the rest Of the year there were
two services, at II and 2 o'clock, sep.
arated by an interval of an hour or
more but when the days were short
as many Of his congregation came
from considerable distances, it was
desirable that they should be able to
reach their homes before it was dark.
bht II was not only desirable but i'm
perative that they should have two
sermons. This was accomplished by
having only one meeting, Jeginning at
IL o'clock, and doing away with the
interval. There were then two ser.
mons separted by the singing of @
short psalm.
