Lesson In Specializing.
He was an American visitor, and
as he sauntered into the barber's shop
he freely criticised British methods of
work and business.
s'You don't SPECIALIZE he said;
'"you should stick to one branch of
q thing and master it completely"
The barber said nothing, but
lathered his face very literally, and
then sat down to read.
well, why don't you shave me?"
inquired the American, after five
minutes.
1--WE only lather here,'' was the
response; you must go into the next
street for shave. "-Tit-Bits.

Bread In Sweden.

In Sweden the bread of the people is
Tor the most part hard, thin as a din
ner plate and about the size of one. It
Is baked without yeast, and the water
Is practically all extracted in the proc
ess OF baking; hence, relatively per
pound OF bread, its cost is much high
er than in the common forms of bread
as we know them, containing one half
their weight in water that has cost
nothing. Loaf bread and rolls in Swe-

"Now, Mr.. Juror" came another
question, what is your ageY

"Forty-four years old?'
That is exactly what the, Juror
meant. The lawyer guessed right the
very first time
Here is another flash that came to
one of the attorneys. Where do you

. "You reside there, do you?"
Once in awhile there is funny an
swer which isn't to be wondered at
considering the power of suggestion.

"Any familyY'
'"Two"
But the balance is we'll on the law

toner had asked if a juror was relat.

pals or witnesses in the case
II am brother-in-law of Mr.. Blank,
one of the Witnesses was the reply.
''You married his sister, then?"

"Now, Mr.. Juror, follow me closely,
If you please. You say your opinion
is vague one and not definitely fixed
Now, then, if that is the case and you
went into that jury box and listened
to the evidence adduced from that wit
ness stand and heard the law expound-
ed by the judge from that bench,
would it not be possible for you to lay
aside that opinion and concur in a YER
dict warranted by the evidence and
the Instructions of the court?"
Yes" r..
The attorney, having received the
same answer to his long question as
to his short one, is perfectly satisfied
and throws a triumphant look at his
colleague, which says. II knew could

Here is another astonishing deduc-

then said in tone which admitted of

Catching Thieves BY Machine,

The cleptograph as may be inferred

The room to be protected by the
cleptograph contains a system of
wires and contacts that are prop

doors, safes. etc. being connected
with all objects Of value.
