"To shave a man at home," said a barber, "I charge a quarter, but to shave a dead man half a dollar is the price. About a tenth of my private customers are women. '"I share at their houses six or seven women every day. I don't know why it Is some women have beards. It is very distressing to them, and they shave close and often. It is their only remedy. The electric needle Is no good for them, you see, because their beards are so thick that it would take a life time for the operator to go over their faces and pluck each hair out sepa rately, as must be done in the electric al depilitating system. "Beards only grow on old women. They are one of the feminine disfigure ments of age. It is the same trouble, I suppose. as that which affects old men. Old men, you know. have thick growths of hair in their nostrils and ears that must be cut out weekly, and their eyebrows if not regularly trim med would grow to two or three inch es."-Philadelphia Record. She Was "Founded." Netta was a little girl who lived in a foundling asylum, a place where home less children without relatives are cared for. A visitor who often came to the foundling had taken a great fancy to Netta. It was the birthday of Muriel, the lady's little girl, and permission was asked for Netta to take tea with Muriel. As it was Muriel's birthday Netta wished to be very nice to her. At the same time Netta felt she had an ad vantage over Muriel, for It was not every one who lived in a foundling hos pital. "You were born, Muriel?" she asked. Muriel nodded and smiled. Up went Netta's bead i little higher. "It Is so common to be bo:n," she said. "I was founded!"-Exchange. A Village of Lunatics. Laos, in Cochin China, is, according to Dr. Lefevre, a village of out and out fools or lunatics. A common form of mania with them is to believe they have a buffalo In the stomach.

GIVE TIS A TRIAL THE GRAND SCHEMER A CRISIS COMES AND MAJOR CROFOOT MEETS IT JOYFULLY. His Frowning Landlrdy Presents Her Badly Belated Bill, and She Is Promptly Taken Into the Universal Musical Company. (Copyright, 100, by C. :. Lewis.] Major Crofcot, grand promoter and general organizer, had observed signs of a coming calamity around his board ing house. Ile hadn't sat down with pencil and paper and figured that it was three months since he had paid his landlady a dollar, but in a dim, unde fined way be put it at about three. Ile hadn't taken half an hour to wonder how much longer things could run on tick, but hoped it might be for three months more. He was living on in a blissful state of certain uncertainty, finding fault with the steak and sug gesting a change of puddings, when the demeanor of the landlady warned him that a crisis was at hand. Ile was the man for the crisis. It was at the dinner table that the notes of the IL J o~l I: ao J,,'J "WHY SPEAK OF DOLLARS?" warning bell struck his ear, and when he had finished his meal he rose up be fore the other boarders with the digni ty of a millionaire and observed: "Madam the landlady, if not too much trouble I wish you would come to my room this evening for your check. I like to balance my books once a month." The shot told. The landlady's frown changed to a smile as soft as jelly, and the three or four boarders who had been hinting that the major was a deadbeat and would bilk the house felt a large feeling of awe steal over them. Half an hour later the woman knocked at the major's door and found him seated with his checkbook in front of him. "My dear woman." he began. as he motioned for her to sit down, "your trust and confidence in me are some thing sublime-really sublime. I am not a man given to emotion, but in this case-in this case" "You owe me three months' room rent and board," she said as he paused to find other words. "That is the case exactly, as I found to my surprise in footing my ledger this afternoon. Yes. For three long months I have occupied this room and sat at your table, and you have not even hinted at filthy lucre in payment I don't exactly remember what Cleo patra did to win undying fame, but if she reposed the sublime confidence in a man that you have reposed In me I don't wonder that her name Is engrav en on the scrolls of time forever more." "I have been trying to catch you for the last month, but you have dodged me," replied the landlady with exceed ing candor. "In other words, madam, 1 have been too wrapped up in gigantic specula tions to remember that I owed you a few dollars. However, the fact re mains that you did not worry over my indebtedness." "But I have worried. I have been afraid you'd get your trunk out and skip." 'The fact remains, madam," repeat ed the major as he nibbled at the pea holder and looked into vacancy-"the fact remains that you have not wor ried. You knew and felt that the debt was safe. You might have worried about others, but about Major Crofoot -never. Ah, it md.es me feel better toward the whole world to have a per son trust me thus! Such trust! Such confidence! Such childish faith in the midst of universal wickedness!" "And now you will pay me for 13 weeks at $S per week?" she queried as she laid the bill before him. "My dear woman," he replied as he rose up to walk about, "why specify the flight of time? Why speak of dol lars? Thirteen weeks at $8 per week makes a total of $104, of course. but should we thus brutalize sentinent? Let me say that you have trusted me. Let me say that you have put me down as a man of honor'. Then let me repay you for your confidence rather than for your room and board. We will say that I hand you a check for $200." "You don't mean it, major," she ex claimed, with a catch of her breath. "I sit down thus. I fill in a cheek for $200. so. I tear It off and hand it to you, and with it goes a deeper feeling than I can explain. If there are tears in my eyes, you will please excuse them." "I knew you would pay. I told them you were no deadbeat," said the over come landlady as she held the check in trembling fingers. "And your confidence was not mis placed. Let me call your attention to the fact that this check is made out to the order of J1. Jordan. Hie is the treas urer of the corporation, you know." "But what corporation?" "The Universal Musical company, my friend. The organization was per fected last week, all the necessary cap ital paid in. and we shall begin work next Monday. Having an instinctive feeling that you trusted me and wish To Consumers Lager Beer. We are now in position to ship Beer all over this State at the following Pints.

We will allow you l~e per dozen f.o.b. your' depot for all Export pint bottles anmd can use all other bottles and will give standard prices for same. Csh Must ACCOmpany All Orders. All orders shall have our promplt and careful attention. ERMANIA BREWING CO., ing to prove my gratitude in something beyond words, I have reserved $10,000 worth of stock for you at ground floor figures. A dividend of 50 per cent on this stock, which is a low estimate, brings you in $5,000 per year. All you need do is to sit with folded hands." "But I don't want stock in any of your companies," she protested. "I've got to have money to run my house." "The object of the company," he ex plained, "is to provide music for the world at the cheapest possible price, and in supplying music we supply sen timent, raise the social standard and make the whole world happier and bet ter. We also make a saving in provi sions and fuel. A man with a fiddle will sit for hours and never know whether a room is hot or cold. A wom an who is giving Mozart a twist on the piano wants neither dinner nor supper. Give a boy a mouth organ, and he will not ask for bread and butter as long as he has wind enough left to blow. It is the scheme of my life, and millions of profit will soon be rolling in." "But about this check?" she insisted. "A great scheme and in many ways a noble enterprise. Let us take a city block, for instance. We will say there are 200 families on the block. The Universal supplies those families with pianos or organs, zithers, fiddles, harps, hand organs, mouth organs, brass bands, bugles, fifes and drums. From 7 o'clock in the morning to 10 o'clock at night there is music. No one has time to quarrel or get drunk. No one stops to eat or wonder whether it's cold or hot. Music evokes sentiment, love, pity, charity. Human nature is ele vated and purified, and the rent for the various instruments comes rolling In as fast as two men can count the dollars. My dear woman, you see" "But this check." "You will take It to J. Jordan and de posit it as security for your stock, and you will order two pianos, three fid dles, four harps, two drums and a set of bagpipes for this house. The effect on your boarders will be" "But I thought you were going to square up," exclaimed the landlady. "What do I know about your company or stocks? Whenever I present my bill, you always dodge and twist." "In case you do not wish to use the check to secure stock you can ask Mr. Jordan to indorse It over to me. I will then indorse it to the vice presi dent, he will indorse it to the secre tary, and the secretary will indorse it to you. You will then have to be iden tified at the bank. It will take some few days or weeks to obtain the mon ey. but it is a mere question of time. Meanwhile things go over. Ask your self if it is not your duty to help us ele vate the moral tone of society? Ask yourself if it is not better to have $5. 000 a year dividends than to be slaving your life away In a boarding house. Ask yourself" "Can't you give me $10 on account?" asked the landlady in desperation as she put the check on the table. "What! Discount my own paper aft er your sublime con.tilence in me?" he exclain:ed. "Never, my dear woman, never! You mst be paid in full. In deed, you have been paid in full any how, and now it only remains for you to leave me to balance up my cash book and write 15 or 20 business let ters of a pressing nature. You trusted me, and you have your reward. Don't fail to be identitied at the bank. If there should be any trouble, just call on me. And now good night and pleas ant dreams to you." "Major, I want this room tomorrow," called the landlady when she found herself outside the door. No answer. "And you'll have to go!" But she talked to the silence of the grave. M. QUAD. She Knew. Marjorie is the small and only daugh ter in a family which boasts of several sons. Aged 4 Is Marjorie, petite and imperious and enjoying excellent op portunities for becoming spoiled. She has lately attained to the dignity of the kindergarten and comes home daily with some fresh acquisition of wisdom. A few days ago it was addition, and she proclaimed proudly at the dinner table: "I know how much two and two make and free and two and four and two." "And what," said her father, "do ycu and I make, Marjie?", Without a moment's hesitation over these new factors in her problem, the little maid answered, with a dimple and a smile: "Sweethearts." And all the family were satisfied with Marjie's arithmetle.-Lonldonl An swers. Life Sav'ing Pigs. The Australian coasting steamer Ka meruka, while going f4romn Eden to Syd ney, traveling at full speed, struck on a reef at Mloruya head. There being no rockets on the ship, the captain tied a life line to some pigs which formed part of the cargo and had the animals put overboard. The pigs swam to the shore, taking the line with them, and by es tablishing communication every soul on board was rescued. The oldest house England stands near St. Albans' abl y.

Tiresome Work of Reading a Ci pher Dispatch of ,O00 Words. Some governments make use of nu merals for their ciphicd'hmeol"is tions with their agents abroad, others a mixture of numerals and words, and yet others exclusively words. Of course, the only problem that needs solution in dispatches of this kind is to ascer tain the key number or key word. When that is accomplished, the re mainder is easy, though generally very tedious. Indeed it is difficult to conceive of a more tiresome, head splitting piece of work than either to cipher or deci pher a dispatch of some 1,500 or 2,000 words. The writer talks from sel and weary experience. Some governments change the key word or key numerals with each dis patch, according to a settled arrange ment. Others, again, change it every month. Sometimes it is placed at the beginning of the dispatch, at other times at the end. To the uninitiated a dispatch of this kind will appear in the nature of a Chinese puzzle, but to an expert cryptographer the deciphering of a government code dispatch Is mere child's play. Occasionally the dispatch will appear a mere jumble of consonants without any meaning, while at other times it will be so ciphered as to contain -sensi ble and plausible sentences, the mean ing of which appears on the surface. It was a code of this kind that was used by the Spanish secret agents in this country during the war with Spain, and the clever staff of secret service men employed by the United States government were in a very short time possessed of a key to the cipher in question.-New York Tribune. A KAFFIR "SMOKER." The Native Women Are Enthusiasti Devotees of the Weed. In South Africa the native woman smokes incessantly. Your native serv ant smokes as she cooks and as she washes. The tobacco she likes is rank. The dainty cigarette an English or Russian lady of fashion enjoys, smok ed through a quill, so that no nicotine can stain either teeth or fingers, would be sneered at by a Kaffir. "Give me a pipe and something in it I can taste," is in effect what she says. Thc men Kafdirs are beyond tobacco. They smoke something so vehement that it makes them cough and splutter, lose their breath, choke and sneeze to an alarming degree. They like snuff, too, and are fond of offering and tak ing pinches of it ("schniff" they call it) when they meet and visit one another. Regarding tobacco as too mild for their taste, the Kaffirs take another ved and smoke that. They proceed to arrange a smoking party, by squat tng on the ground and getting ready their "pipe," a cow horn with a thin tube In it inserted half way down at right angles to the horn. The end of the tube is in a basin, and itis from it that the smoker sucks the strong stuff that makes him incapable of anything but a series of coughs and chokes for some time after he has had his turn at the pipe, which is passed around from man to man, until a perfect cho rus of coughs rends the air. The tobacco the Boers guloke looks like poor tea and is peculiar in flavor, yet Englishmen who have become used to it acquire such a taste for it that they never ask for any other kind. London Mail. Relics of Former Ages. The big tree of Califor-nia is unique In the world. It is the largest, oldest and most majestically, graceful of all trees. Scarcest of known tree species, it is -the best living representative of a former geologic age. It has come down throughi the ages simply by reason of its superb powers of defense against hostile conditions. The bark is some times as much as two feet thick and is almost noncombustible. The oldest specimens felled are still sound at the heart. Yet, with all its advantages, the big trees do not seem to have in creased their range since the glacial epoch.-Washinigton Post. N'ot Him. The drill instructor's face t".rned scarlet with rage as he rated n raw Irish recruit for his awkwardness. "Now, Rafferty, you'll spoil the line with those feet. Draw them back In stantly, man, and get them in line!" Rafferty's dignity was hurt. "Plaze, sargint," he drawled solemn ly, "they're not mine; they're Micky Doolan's, in the rear rank!" A Green Hand. He was a new freight handler. "Load those barrels In that car," or dered the freight agent. "01 can't load barrels in that car, sor," responded the new man. "Why not?" "It's a box car, sor."--Chicago News.
