It is said that lead working disfigures the human body more than any other kind of work. In this industry it is inevitable that sooner or later the workers must succumb to lead poisoning, and there would appear to be no part of the body that the poisonous fumes and floating particles which permeate the atmosphere of the workshops do not affect. The complexion takes .on a ghastly, corpselike pallor, the gums turn blue, the teeth decay rapidly and fall out, and the eyelids are hideously inflamed. A scratch or an abrasion of the skin becomes an unhealable sore. Later on, when nerves and muscles become affected by the poison in the blood, the eyeballs are drawn into oblique positions and take on a dim and bleared appearance. The joints, especially the knee and the wrist, become semiparalyzed, and the whole form is gradually bent and contorted. Failed to Please. His eyes make no attempt to conceal his admiration of the beautiful young thing as she enters the parlor. Indeed, he does not want them to. "You are positively queenly," he declares enthusiastically. ^ An offended expression comes to her face. ' Queenly?" she asks disdainfully. "Yes; you are a veritable queen in appearance." Haughtily she bids him leave. { "But why?" he inquires, amazed. "Oh, nothing. I'm a queen in appearance, am I ? Well, I happened * to look over a lot of magazine pictures of different queens and princesses today, and if you think I look like them it's time for you and me to be strangers."?Life. I PEOPL HappyA STUDIED THE ENEMY. 1 Admiral Sampson's Plans For the Bom* bardment of Havana. Admiral Sampson had determined to begin the Spanish-American war by the bombardment of Havana, and on April 4, 1898, Evans, then captain, wrote a letter to the then editor of Harper's Weekly containing this paragraph: "I shall have the honor of leading in the Iowa, and when we open at about 800 yards, with Indiana clwe astern, if those poor chaps from the Maine don't giggle in their coffins it will be a wonder." This was the pregnant part of the letter. Sampson was forbidden from Washington to attack Havana, much to his disappointment and wrath. To one sitting at a distance, not knowing Evans, not knowing of the proposed bombardment only as a rumor, the letter might have seemed a bit of bluster. But after a few months chance put the log book of the New York, the flagship, in the way of the recipient of the letter and there he read Sampson's order for the bombardment of Havana, giving the order of the ships and designating the distance at which the firing should begin, precisolv as Evans had stated them in the letter. But why go in to within 800 yards of the new forts, which were much more heavily armed than the ships of Sampson's fleet? Months after reading the log book the recipient of the letter attended a dinner given in honor of Admiral Sampson. The admiral made there one of the few speeches of his life, and in it he told the reuson?a reason characteristic of his keen judgment and of his boldness?for selecting 800 yards. He had found out that a short time before the Spaniards had momentarily awakened from their usual torpor and had practiced from the new works, firing at a ?i; 1 4 Tliaw Karl flna+od [ noaung largcio. mcj uau >.v>..vU these targets past their guns at 3,000 yards. i Sampson at once concluded that they supposed that he would attack at ihat distance and quickly determined to go in at 800 yards, for, he explained, the Spaniards, having once fixed their sights for a target 3,000 yards away, would not be able to change them, but would fire over his ships until he had dismounted their heavy pieces with his rapid fire guns. So the chain was completed, for we had the facts and the reason for them.?Harper's Weeklj Real Estate for Sale* 1428? acres Florence Countv, 850 cleared, balance splendidly timbered plenty of buildings.

A customer in a downtown barber shop pot into a heated argu- : ment with the boss barber over the price of a hair cut. I "See here," he said, "I'm bald- , headed. There certainly can't be i nearly so much work in trimming j this little fringe of hair on the back of my head as in cutting a , whole mop of hair. Consequently /OI'K 4A />l<nrrrn cr\ 1 11 UUl'MI t Dt'CiU iau iv ov much." ''That is the contention of half 1 the baldheaded men-in town," sighed the barber wearily. "They don't ( take into consideration that a man ( who has but little hair is much more careful of it than one who has a good deal. Therefore a bar- < ber ha3 to take extra pains with ? him. It goes pretty hard with the ; man with the shears, I can tell you, ( if he happens to clip off an extra hair. In view of the caution required he certainly earns the full ( price of a hair cut."?New York Press. Power of the Will. At a recent conversazione a discussion arose about the power of ( the will.
