Nine. ModjesLG's Dramatic josh.
There are some good stories told
about Nine. Modjeska, the famous
Polish actress. Perhaps the most
amusing, however, is that which re-
lates how she joshed a private audi
ence that had been beseeching her
to recite something in her native
language. .Demurring at first, the
famous actress at last gave way, and
the audience sat spellbound as she
dramatically uttered unintelligible
words. Great applause was the re-
ward for the effort, but what the
feelings of the people must have
been when they learned that she
had merely recited the numbers
from one to a hundred in Polish it
is scarcely possible to describe
London Tit-Bits.

1t is commonly assumed that soap
is used in shaving for the purpose of
softening the hairs, but this is a
mistake, declares a writer in a con-
temporary. 1t is used, on the con-
trary, to render them hard, stiff and
brittle, in which condition they best
yield to the razor. Hair being nat
urally oily, were We to shave dry or
with water only, the razor would
either slip over the limp hair with
out cutting it or, entering about half
way, bend the hair back and slice it
lengthwise, all the while straining it
most painfully at the roots, and as a
razor would thus slice and pull out
probably a large number of hairs at
once the inconvenience and dis
comforts which one experiences in
shaving under the existing condi-
tions would be considerably intensi-
fed.

You thought this was all right, or
course, as long as you could get full

Uncle Sans treasury is OF a differ
ent opinion. After 27.OO00O0 were
struck OF recently he decided that only
the initial ''B" should appear on the
penny. Mr.. BrenneF. however. insists
that his three initials "V. ID. B. show

he will take the matter up to Presl-

mains that the new pieces are In great

SAUSAGE.

Sausage has even from very early
times been a popular table delicacy.
Aristophanes was familiar with it,
and ip Roman days the sausages Of
Lucania were in high esteem. They
were made from pork and the nuts
of the stone pine, favored with
bay leaves and other things more
familiar. Bologna was celebrated
for its sausages long before the
German sausage had even thought
of invading the rest of the world.
and until quite lately it was com
monty called in England a ''po-

1t is true, however, that many preachers
preach too long and weary their aud
ience, who founder around for half
hour and more without saying any
thing Long sermons are a nuisance,
even though they be given by the best
of men. We are of theopinion that
the best and most telling sermon is
short and to the point. This is the
kind the people want for which they
are thankful, and whose dictates they
are more willing to follow. There are
too many men in the pulpits who wear
out the possibilities of their congrega
tions. We would like to see change
for the better all around, not in anti
cipation of some reward for this in
diligence, but for the sake of the cause
they have at heart.-Jewish Tribune.
