SHAVING IN ITALY.
The Barber Must Have Used a Cross

Italy may be the land of the iea. but
II is not the home of the shave.
The BARRIERS there are generally re-

or the medical students. They must
be able to stand the sight OF blood.
In the early days OF medicine ply
sicians called in BARRIERS to do their
bleeding for them.
In Italy a physician now does his
own bleeding-if he visits a barber
shop first.

manner in the Latin kingdom. The

"Bene," reply the license givers.
You are indeed suited in every way.
Here are your shaving papers. Go

Chicken thieves in New Jersey have
adopted an astonishing ruse to battle
owners of the fowls they steal. Late.

that valuable white leghorn hens were
missing. A thorough search was
made, but no one could be found in
the section who had recently acquired
white leghorns in quantity in pro-
portion to the number that had been
missing. The first clue as to their
disappearance came a few days ago,
when Mrs. Edward Hall. who has a
fine lot Of white leghorns, found that
walking among her leghorns were
three black hens. She "shooed" them
out Of the yard. angrily, as they were
of an inferior type. An hour later the
eyicted hens were still hanging around
the place. and when she finally cor.
nered one, intending to throw it out
side. the fact was disclosed that the
black hen was wet and the wet came
from black dye. Investigation showed
that the "black" hens were her home.

The wardrobe holds several dresses

FUTURE OF MOVING PICTURES
Edison Tells Of the Possibilities In
This Field That soon May
Be Developed.

An interview with Thomas A. Edi.
son in the New York Dramatic Mirror
quotes the great inventor as saying
that the future Of the motion picture
is almost unlimited. He calls atten.
ton to the obvious educational value
of pictures in connection with work
in the elementary schools such as the
teaching Of history, geography and
literature. He Is sure that the future
of the motion pictures in the amuse.
ment world is great one and he con-
cludes the subject with the follow.
ing comment upon the development
of moving pictures in regard to the
work Of the great actors:
THAT will be only another develop
ment Of the art. At the present time
the works of the greatest singers are
indelibly recorded In photograph and
talking machine records and will be
capable Of reproduction for centuries
to come. These records make 1t pos.
sible for all music lovers to enjoy
good music. They will undoubtedly
cultivate higher musical taste in
this country. The same thing is true
of the motion picture, and especially
when 1t is effectively combined with
the monograph The great actors
and actresses are able in their short
lives to reach only fraction of the
public. If their gestures and words
are recorded by moving pictures and
the photograph, they can be seen,
heard and appreciated by every man,
woman and child in the country, not
only now, but for 100 years to come"

This Ia slumber Land.

Here is story about the soothing
quality of Flatbush air. says the
Brooklyn Eagle. Newcomers to Flat
bush notice first Of all that they don't
seem able to get sleep enough. At
first they have an idea that perhaps
it's the malaria, but it Is only the
heavy sea air which induces slumber.
A new resident in Flatbush asked
some friends of his in the district IL
the experience was common one.
"Oh, yes" was the reply. that is
the case with everybody who moves
here. A certain woman who lives not
far from Eighteenth avenue started to
make three beds one morning at nine
o'clock. At seven o'clock that night
she had not yet made the third. The
beds looked so inviting and was SO
tired she explained, that whenever
I came to one lay down and slept on
it,"
