JOE CANNON vs. SLEEP.
,n, the st. Louis Popst- Dispatch

From the St. Louis Popst-Dispatch
 Uncle Joe Cannon has been telling his Missouri admirers that late to bed and early to rise has been the rule of his life. Uncle Joe scoffs at the old couplet--
 Early to bed. early to rise,
 Makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
 He believes with George Ade that 'early to bed. early to rise, and one meets few prominent people," He indorses the theory of the Rogers Brothers that "early to bed, early to rise, makes a good milk man.
 Uncle Joe has slept little. Like Napoleon, ne gets along without it. Like Cassius, he is lean, hungry and wakeful, the type of man feared by good politicians like Julius Caesar. He has exploded the Glad stonian theory that eight hours of sleep a day are essential to greatness.
 For is Uncle Joe not truly great and is he not the one man in this country for whom the newspapers waive their strict rules against the printing of those impolits words - and -

BACK TO WHISPERS?
Pacific Slope Rears Up and Starts
 Heartrendng Style.

From the Bellngham (Wash) Reveille.
 To be in style the fashionable young man should wear fetching litle side whis- kers If nature has neglected to provide a basis for this adornment he will prob ably be considered back number by those who give fashion preference to com fort and common sense. The fad is an extremely new one, imported from the barbaric east where the natives obtain ed 1t from some heiress- hunting, titled, but disreputable foreigner. The first set has yet to be discovered in Bellingham.
 The new style of hair decoration differs but slightly from the burnsdes, alias side burns, to be seen on old prints. In the early '70s the sideburns were cropped squarely off below the lobe of ear. The new ones are clipped before they reach the beginning of the lobe. They are clip ped close and look real cute when adorn- ing the face of boy from twenty to twenty-five years of age.
 An old time barber expressed the belief that actors and travelling men are spread ing the new innovation He recalled that in the '70s the craze for side whiskers swept over the entire country. All young men who made a pretense of being in so- ctey at that time affected them Then the day of the mustache and later the clean shave came, and it held the foit up to the present time.
 The sdeburns now worn are favorites with men who wear fiat-brimmed straw hats and the university effect in cloth ing. The sdeburns are deemed to make an effective finish to the square cuts of headgcar and long coats

SOUTHERN RAILROAD BUILDING.

From the Washington Post
 w. c. Oliver of Knoxville, the largest general railroad contractor in the United States who is building many of the new roads throughout the south and has just completed a 1OO-mle section of the Tide water road Is at the Raleigh
 MT. Oliver is at present engaged in building a dam across the Tennessee river. which will supply 45O0O horse- power to industries in Chattanooga It will cost S3,0O0000. He is also building a tunnel 400o feet long through Lookout mountain south of Birmingham, on the Louisville and Nashville, and another near Lynch burg, on the Southern. "A great deal of road-building is being done all over the south in order to keep pace with the marvellous industrial development that is going on there. The South and Western Is building from Johnson City, Tenn, to the Seaboard Air Line. The Illinois Gen. tral is extending branches. Everywhere the factories are working overtime and good labor is scarce. The principal de- velopment is in coal and iron in Ala bama aud Tennessee. Cement plants arc being constructed all through the south and the manufacture of it, is fast becom- ing one of the great industries of that sec ton of the country, because of the unex- celled facilities there for making it. The railroads are tearing out their old wood- en bridges and using reinforced concrete il stead.'
 MT. Oliver is in favor of building the Panama canal by contract. He declares the south is anxious to have it built soon, and that 1t can be built in from six to eisht years by that method.

CHINESE CARPENTERS.

 Naturally pre-eminent among the skilled craftsmen of China, the carpenter still maintains the leadership. Though almost invariably welded to the use of the tools of his ancestors and to their methods his line than are the average of the for eign trained filters and machinists in theirs, though a constant diminutlon of the difference is in progress.
 In judging the performance Of the na- tive workmen 1t is almost impossible to avoid the popular bias that addiction to their own methods and tools invariably bespeaks fatuous conservatism. Though this is In many cases true, It will often be found on careful observation that what has passed for a stubborn blindness to the virtue of innovation is in reality a keener perception of comparative merits than the judge himself was aware This Is particularly true of Chinese carpen- ters. While most of their commonest tools differ in some radical way from our own
 
 of the western product. Their small ax, for example, is beautifully balanced tool, and they are remarkably adept In the use of 1t. being able to work as. true surface herewith as can be obtained with an adze In the hands of the white man.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR,

From the New York Press.
 Even a dog knows better than to be a candidate for office.
 It makes a girl blush even to think how near she came to being kissed.
 It takes a girl to know she can do any thing she wants with man py saying how brave he Is.
 When a woman finds that praying for a thing she wants won't bring it. shs fails back on wishing for it.
 A man writes his first love letter fifty times before he sends it. and girl reads hers loo times after she gets 1t.
