ANoTHER SuRPRTsE.

Awhile ago we were told that there was surprising illiteracy in the city of Philadelphia. Now the statement of Dr. Draper, Commissioner of Educa- tion, as to the high percentage of illit- eracy In some of the rural counties of New York will shock good many peo- pie who have been in the habit of thinking that illiterates were either of foreign parentage or else to be found among the negroes or white mountain eers of the South These figures are of illiterates whose parents were born in this country, and they show that some of the counties in New York badly need campaign of education. The fig ures also indicate that the advantages of environment are not all with chill dren raised in the country The city of New York has only per cent. of H. literates born of native parents, and Erie county. with Buffalo, has only 3 per cent. Sullivan county has 43 per cent. of illiterates of native parentage; Fulton county, in the Adirondacks, has 54 per cent. of such illiterates; Dela- ware has 59; Tioga, 65, and Schoharie 76. These are not sporadic cases of neglect of education, for Madison coun- ty has fl per cent. of such illiterates; Greene, Warren and Yates 42 per cent, each; steuben and Tompkins, 45 per cent. each; Chenango, Cortland and Schuyler, 47 per cent. each.
 Well, we'll! Hope Connecticut isn't in any such condition. It ought not to be with Yale in it's midst.

4 REAL CUTE GIRL.

That is a neat little story that comes from Asheville, North Carolina, where Miss Irene Depew, "a well-known beauty and social favorIte," has lived and flourished She was so beautiful and so favorite that three brothers fell in love with her, or, at least, they and she thought they did. Perhaps she didn't fall in love with the three broth- CTS, or with any one of them, but she liked them all Of course she couldn't marry all three of them, though she was willing to marry any one of them. They couldn't choose which one should be blessed by her, and she wouldn't. She was, nevertheless, equal to the emergency. She left the choice to Chance. She didn't raffle herself off, as if she were a goose, turkey pig or | chicken, but she did allow the brothers to draw lots for her. On one of three strips of pasteboard was her name, and the youngest of the brothers got her, and he is happy.
 How much better this was than to cruelty hurt everybody's feelings and perhaps breed a tragedy. Miss Depew is smart and a fair girl We hope she is as pleased with her young man as he is with her, and that they both may live happily ever after.

FRENCH OFFICIAL BARBER,

Perhaps the man most sought after by journalists in Paris at the present moment is the jovial M Emile Joussein, official barber to the Senate, who, at his very curious establishment in the Rue de Tournon, "shaves the Parli- ment smartens up the Sorbonne, and singes the Academy" The most cele- brated and the most honorable heads are conf1ded to his tonsorial care, and none is better informed than he as to what goes on behind the scenes of the French Political stage. But although, in view of the approaching Presiden- tial election, he has been solicited to deliver up what he knows, he refuses to reveal the secrets overheard by him. No. sir. l am secret and taciturn. ' and he proceeds to floor his interlo- cutor with quotation from the Greek. For he knows Greek, does this doyen of barbers, and also Latin and old French.
 Among his clients M. Joussein cites with pride Victorien Sardou. On his first professional visit to the celebrated dramatist the door was opened to him by a clean shaven footman in velvet knee brooches, whom he ordered to in- form Sardou of his arrival. adding Make haste, my man, I'm in a hurry Alas" comically cxclaims M. Joussein. that clean shayen footman was Sar- dou himself!" Nj. Joussein was the friend of Renan, whom he shaved on his death bed. Having finished his task. he turned and said, in the valedictory words of the priest, "Ite, missa est" thereupon drawing upon himself the charge of impiety
 Zola. Octave Feuillet (who used to find fault with his democratic leanings), Victor Cherbuliez (who presented him with copies of all his works, each with tiattering dedication), were among his clients, and M Chaumie, as minis- ter of Public Instruction. Against M, Chaumie NJ Jousseln has a grudge. For. says he. while he was minister not once did he confide his respectable head to my care I suppose he was afraid that, had I once my razor on his throat. I might have compelled him him to crown me with the Academic palms. Which was indeed a probabil- ity, for M.

mattress filings, cork carpet substi- tutes and a variety of other uses.
 The bark is entirely odorless, of a rich brown colors ad is singularly non- absorbent. A piece kept under water for month will absorb no more moist ure than a piece of cork. It has a short, brittle, fHre-cork has no fibre whatever-and is consequently not so liable to snap as is the Quercus suber It lacks, however, the elasticity and To- cal toughness of cork and is slightly heavier in its specific gravity, but is much more easily worked in manufae- turing into articles.
 Curious natural brushes are produced from one of the palmetto species on our Southern coasts. The "bristles" of the brush and the solid wood portion thereof are all one. No "coming out complaint with these bristles,
 The brushes are made in two ways. The extreme root of the tree is mass of flores. These are cut off close to the trunk, which is sawed off about an inch up, and the slab is cut up into ShlupP0 Dl uSliSo lpI tho. UdlIli IOllSt, IdlI, etc. Another couple of inches will be sawed off the trunk, well soaked and the pithy wood jagged out from be- tween the flores by Q crude kind of steel or jagged. comb. Once a pith is thoroughly dried and hard it will stand immersion in hot bath waters without softening.
 These curious natural made brushes are only locally known, and are occa- sionally sold to tourists. They are un- known to commerce in the American brush trade. No attempt has ever been made to establish any industry in them. Yet they are possibly the longest lived brushes extant. A bath brush used for half dozen years looked, true, as if it had had plenty of use, but was good enough or another half dozen years.
 The flores and wood are of a bright sandy hue, and if kept clean almost preserve throughout their agreeably slight odor, reminding one of dried corn leaves.-Scientific American.

CURIOUS USES FOR WOOD.

Ingenious Yankee and What He Wrought Out of Wasted Redwood Bark
 The giant sepuoias of California, thousands of years old, have been pre- served to this day because of their enormously thick bark. From time to time, in the course of ages, forest fires have swept through the big tree lands, destroying everything, yet only scorch- ing for couple of inches depth or so the almost fireproof bark, The flames, having carbonized that much of the bark, could penetrate no further, for the carbonized portion formed an ab- solutely fireproof covering for the re- mainder of the interior bark
 In the felling of the giant redwoods for timber, tons upon tons of the foot thick bark would accumulate as re. suit of the cutting up of the giants. It was often found seriously in the way, interfering with the removal of the logs, otherwise it would have been allowed to remain on the ground until 1t routed, So there was nothing to do but burn the unsightly heaps,
 But one day many years ago a shrewd Connecticut Yankee named At kinson, woodturner by, trade, began to think about this waste bit during his prolonged residence in his new home on the Pacific slope, True, the bark was too soft to make wooden nut megs out of, but 1t might do for some- thing else. So he thought and thought; and in the course of time had produced a whole variety of useful articles from the hitherto wasted bark; dubbed it "atkinsos,' or vegetable asbestos, and made an honest living for years there- from. The industry spread; and now redwood bark articles are-in fact, al- ways have been-common property for anybody to make in the West or East. Almost all Pacific State homes have ex- amples in their rooms of the useful articles made from this bark, of which there are two kinds, soft and hard.
 Some of these redwood bark articles are pin cushions, penwipers, table mats (for receiving hot plates), flatiron mats (to prevent seorching). bathroom non- absorbent mats, fishing floats, tempor- ary corks, life buoy filling, cork jack cts, cold storage insulation, house sheathing insulation (will burn under great heat if attacked both sides, but is about six times a more efficient heat insulator than woven ashestos) also coin mats, moisture proof match safes, bicycle handles, silk hat brushes, chalr seat mats, sound deadening insulation,

NOT ENOUGH YET.

New York is a big place, and one of the big things in it is it's hotel business. For many years shrewd and moneyed men have been trying to build enough hotels to accommodate people, and so far they have not succeeded. Within two years about seven thousand rooms have been added to New York's hotel accommodations, but there are still times when the demand greatly ex- Eseds the supply. For instance, during the Automobile show. Most of the ho- tells made every effort to meet the de- mands for rooms, but after they had persuaded as many patrons as could be persuaded to undergo the doubling up process, from twenty-five to two hundred applicants were turned away daily by many houses. In spite of this almost unprecedented demand for rooms in no instance could it be learned eHdl any duNdHce III idles Hdu peeh made. The proprietor of one house with normal capacity for four hundred guests said that in an effort to accom- modate the overflow he had telephoned to every hotel from the Chelsea at Twenty-third street to the Belleclaire at Seventy-siXth street and Broadway without being able to secure a room.
 Even ex-President Cleveland couldn't get a room in the hotel which he likes, and many smaller men had the same shock
