In VenezueIa.
In travelling in Venezuela it is not
enough to ask how far distant q place
is, but also how far up or down-in other
words, what its altitude is, and, no less
Important, what hills and valleys have
to be crossed. Thus it is not only
necessary to know that Caracas is six
miles distant in a straight line from La
Guayra, its seaport, but that it lies at
an elevation Of nearly half a mile above
sea level and that to reach it one has
to cross a mountain wall rising far
above the clouds. This, to the experience.
ed traveller, means that he must pre-.
pare for an entirely different climate

THE TABLES OF STONE.
A Curious Calculation From the

Did you ever figure on the prOba-
BILE size ana immense strength of
Moses, basing your allegations on the
dimensions Of the table, of stone, as
given by the Talmudic Writcrsf In
the Talmud Golio 3S, column 81 1t is
said that the tables of stone upon
which the commandments We're writ
ten were six ellis long, six ellis broad
and three els thick In the Bible,
exodus XXXi, II, we are told that
Moses went down from the mount,
and the two tables of the testimony
Ecrc in his hand"
"HanI," mind you, not hands, though
Il must be admitted that II would have
taken a strong pair of hands to per-
form the taHk of carrying them, even
on the level Now, we will put the
.almudic and the Biblical accounts to-
2cthcr and apply the mathematical
rUic The Hebrew ell or cubit was, at
its least estimate, Il measure of eight
cel inches. which would have made
each Of the tables Il stone block nine
rect long nm, feet wide and four and
Oua-h&lf feet thick If common stone
v-yi-hed as much to the square foot
then rs it does now the tables would
tip the beam at about twenty-eight
tons! Was Moses one of the giants
Of th5ac days or has some one made

SHAVE WITH HOT STEEL.
An Old Cutters Advice to Men Who
ISe Razor.

''Whencycr | hone 4 razor" said an
old English cutler, Il always give some
advice with it, free gratis, and | take
great satisfaction in knowing that |
have made shaving easier and more
comfortable for more than 10000 men.
Almost every barber will tell you how TO
strop razor, but it takes n cutler TO
tell you how To care for your strop and
how To GO. she best work out of your
blade
"A swing StrOp, canvass on one side
and horse hide Oh the other, is the best.
Always hold it taut and draw the razor
lightly, but swiftly from heel To point.
If you let the strOp sag you will put
Il round edge on your blade. Don't for
get to cover your strop or put it away
in a drawer after using. If 1t hangs
in a bathroom near window the dust
and CRIME get into 1t and soon take
the edge from your razor. Whether
you keep the strOp covered or whether
you don't rub your open hand over the
two surfaces to free it from dust.
but what | consider my most valua-
Bile advice is how to do away with
shaving paper entirely and ut the same
time improve the cutting quality of the
raZOrS edge. Nine men ont Of ten
shave themselves in Il room where
there is running hot water. Now, the
way 10 get a most gratifying result is
this: Lathcr thickly and well and let 1t
remain on the face half minute be
fore you begin TO shave. If you have
time wash II off, for with ii will come
the grit and dirt that you have loosen
ed up in the pores of the skin, and then
apply a second coat II will be as soft,
Gmooth and clean as new velvet
"Now turn on the hot water faucet
and let it run. Hold the razor under
the stream until it is heated. Then
take Il slanting, or diagonal stroke, like
farmer does with scythc, not
square pun. and you VIII be amazed to
find how beautifully and easily the hot
blade cuts the beard.
when II Is filled with lather hold it
under the running hot water instead of
using shaving paper This will wash
OFF the mthcr and at the same time
heat the blade again. Don't be afraid
OF taking.out the temper. That would
be impossible if you put the razor in
kettle and boiled it, Try the hot blade
and you'll never shave with the cold
steel again. New York World

"LUCKY" BALDWIN.
His WhirIwind of Speculation In tn .
Mining Regions.

IN 1858 little party Of gold seekers
with a meager outfit Of horses and
wagons started for California from the
village Of Racine, Wis. In command
of this adventurous expedition was Il
young man who took with him his wife
and infant daughter. His name was
J.. j. Baldwin and he made a wise
choice in shaking from his restless feet
the dust of a tanner civilization. He
uecded a larger theater Of action for his
pent-up and surging activities. While
trailing through the mountains Of Utah
the pioneers were attacked by Indians,
who were beaten off during a six hour
fight III which young Baldwin killed
their chief. After six months of hard
ship the party reached Hangtown Cater
called PlacervilleJ, in California.
Here Baldwin tarried and began
placer mining. He appears to have
been no more than an ordinary red
shirted arsOnaut, meeting the ups and
downs of mining luck until the dis
cOvely of the COmstOck lode at Virgin
ia City Thither he drifted and discov
cred that his natural bent was gam
bling with the mines that other men
had opened Amid a whirlwind of
speculation he fought his way with
such success that he loomed from the
smoke IN a few months as Lucky"
Baldwin, the man who had cleaned up
$7,5O0,0OO in the gigantic deals in the
stock Of the Ophir mines.
San Francisco was the Mecca of
those lucky sons of fortune who were
rearing a great city by the Golden
Gate AS a stock and mining specula-
tor Lucky" Baldwin shone respen-
dent, but he was also a loyal son OF
San Francisco. He built hotels and
iheaters and business blocks even
while he was amazing that far from
conservative community by madly
freakish extrayagances.
In very lucid interval he bought all
the Spanish grants he could find near
Los Angeles and there spent million
in making this ranch Of his not only
splendidly productive property, but al
so one of the most beautiful estates
ever laid out in this or any other coun-
try 1t was his hobby, his pet, and he
planted miles of avenues with noble
shade trees and made wonderful trop-
ical gardens, surrounding his home by
q paradise of vernal beauty. Ralph d.

Onions are aI excellent cure for
slecplcssnrss. They act as a kind of
soporihc if taken in small quantities
before retiring They will be found to
be more appcjizug if finely chopped
up and laid between two thin waters
or biscuits. Eaten In this way, they
are also easily di4csted The reason
SO many people complain OF onions
disagreciug with them is that they eat
too much OF the homcIy vegetable.
Onions are not intended to be eaten
en- masse. When they are taken raw
they should be- thoroughly masticated,
or, better Stll, the juice Of the onion
should be pressed out ana taken on
bread or as a sauce In this form the
onion IS splendid for liver complaints
and acts in consequence rs purifier
for a dark and muddy complexion.

ORIGIN OF NEW YORK NAMES
New Dorp Replaced Town Thrice
Destroyed by Fire.

Destroyed by Fire.
There are some names Of. places in
Greater New York common enough on
the modern tongue, but the origin OF
which Is Lot SO generally known. New
Dorp, on Staten Island, was so named
by the Dutch to distinguish II from
Dude Dorp (Old Dorp), the first Dutch
settlement on the island, which was
thrice destroyed by the Indians. Old
Dorp stood 10 the northwest of Fort
Wadsworth, about where Arrochar
now stands. Two miles TO the west Of
the ruins of Old Dorp the persistent
Dutch built their New Dorp.
The northeast section of Staten Is
land, which until the formation OF
Greater New York was known as Cas-
Teton, and is still generally so called,
takes its name from the fact that II
once formed Governor Dongan's man
or of Castleton." Dongan the Dongan
hills are named from him-was Of the
family Of the Earl of Limerick, and the
seat Of the earl In Ireland was Castle
town. in the County Kildare Many OF
Governor DOngan'S descendants still
live on Staten Island, some of them oc-
cupying ana owning houses on the land
Of the old manor. At first Governor
DOngan merely had hunting lodge on
Staten Island, and 1t is significant Of
the state of that portion OF New York
city at the end of the seventeenth cen
tury that at a meeting OF ito colonial
council the governor was entered on
the minutes as absent, being engaged
at his hunting lodge on Staten Island

Bedlow's island on which the statue
of Liberty stands, was purchased In
1716 by an Englishman named Bedlow,
who had amassed large fortune in the
East India trade and was an acquaint-
ancc of the then governor, the notori-
Gus Lord Cornbury. Bedlow received
from Cornbury the privilege Of victual-
ing the British fleets which frequented
New York. 1t was most profitable

ties of graft Cornbury is supposed to
have ''stood in" with Bedlow. When

ow and children in poverty Bedlow's
island was bought and used by the CON
tractor while he victualed the fleets as

Corlear's Hook takes its name from
Jacob Corlcar, the city trumpeter in
the old Dutch days. Governor Beck
man bought II from him. The governor
also bought a country estate the site
of which is commemorated by Beck

The true meaning of the word Man
haitian, originally spelled variously az
Mana ha-ta, Manhattoes and Manhat-

or Of both The old idea that the word
meant Place Of Drunkenness has been
satisfactorily cOnfuted but what does
the word mean New York Press
