ShavIna Made Easy.

London Cor. New York World.
 There is consternation among the barbers of England over the invention of a Londoner named Witherington He has made paste which removes the beard, without the use of a razor in ten minutes.
 The paste makes the hair so brittle that it can be rubbed off clean with a wet sponge. "No skin trouble" is guar anteed, and the performance is simply a part of washing the face upon aris' ing in the mornin.
 The following advantages are claimed for the paste:
 NO punctilious barber to ask if the razor is sharp enough. No second man waiting to brush your hat and ask with his manner for a tip! You rub on the paste, wipe it off with sponge, and presto! you go down to coffee and rolls looking a man fresh from the hands of the best barber in London. The cost is about one cent shave-and tip yourself"

FAMOUS CURIOSITY
Is Man Who Is Living With Only Half
 of His Brain.

George l.. Chapman, world-famous curiosity among medical men, was exhib- tied to the classes of the Kansas Medical college recently. He Is a wonderful eX- ample of a tradition current among rnedi- cal doctors that the average person has a large surplusage of brains AS the result of d gunshot wound received when he was a boy and the subsequent surgical operation which followed, Chapman had teachupful or to reduce the quantity to more exact terms six ounces Of his brain removed when he was 3 years old.
 The right side of his skull was removed and the injured portion of the brain taken out. The brain substance removed was prac tically all from the right hemisphere.
 Instead of dying, as everything indi- cated he would, Chapman fingered be- tween life and death. His head was al most frozen in an effort to keep the tenn perature down. Part of the right ear was actually frozen off in this manner. But after spending two years In bed. not being able to stand as a result of the injury he finally became able to get around.
 A huge scar remains where the surgeons removed tie skull and brain from Chap mans head. The brain substance here lies beneath a single thickness of skin and 1t is possible to observe the pulsation of the cerebral blood vessels by watching the bare skin which covers the unpro- tected brain. In sleeping. if he lies on the right side of his head 1t fills with blood, practically drowning the brain. He is then completely paralyzed and helpless until some one turns him over. when his brain drains and resumes its functions.
 Chapman makes his living by travelling about and exhibiting himself to medical colleges, taking up a collection at each place. He Is in great demand as an illustration of the relations between the hemispheres of the brain and the muscles of the body. He has exhibited himself all over this country and in Europe and Canada

New York, May 1.-The statement of clearing house banks for the week shows that the banks hold $6,S24625 more than the legal requirement., a decrease of $5.522. .16O as compared with last week. The statement follows:

 Ex. United States deposits, $14,7S1, ,15O; decrease, 5,527, ,775.
 New York May 1.-The Flnancier says:
 Last weeks official statement of the New York Associated Banks was unfavor- able from the borrowers point of view, in that it indicated a decrease in reserve by about one-half of the previous week. This result, however, probably chiefly due to the inclusion in the return of Four teenth Street Bank, which entered the cleaflnS house as memDef at the De- ginning of the week This institutions loans added about S700O,000 and its de- posts a little more than this sum to these items in the statement, while the cash held by this bank was about one and three-fourths millions. With the increase of $16,902 700 in loans and consequently in deposits thus partially accounted for, however, it appears that there was a large expansion in these items by the other banks; this most likely was due to oper- atons incident to syndicate disbursements and to the May settlements.
 The cash items showed a decrease of S1,91S 900, an amount somewhat in excess of that which was estimated on the basis of the traceable movements of money dur ing the week. The deposits were aug mented $14,416 60Q-whch amount closely agreed with the sum of the expansion in loans, less the decrease in cash and hence the statement made q good proof. The required reserve against general deposits was increased $3, CO.,, 150, adding which to the loss of cash as above. made $5,522, 150 as the decrease in surplus reserve to S6, S24 625. Computed upon the basis of de- posits, less those of 31,626,100 public funds, the surplus is s14,731 ,150.
 The daily average of bank clearngs during the week was $906, GOO, GOO against $263, 900 GOO in the previous week. Clearnss on Saturday, including Fridays business were $322. .249,175. Comparisons of loans by individual banks showed that ten institu- tions increased this Item by $17,000,000 net, five banks lost 11a millions net cash.
