Lead Workers.
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.

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

No Discount For Baldness.
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

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. A certain guest of very
self assertive character loudly declared
that no one could will him i
to do anything against his inclination.
Ilis challenge was taken ud

him steadily for awhile, the rest of 1
the company looking on expectantly.
Presently the braggart said:
"What did I tell you, sir? You
may gaze at me as long as ever you
like, but I defy you to will me to 1
do anything."
"Do you?" replied the author. (
"Well, I've been willing you to '
stand like a jaokass in the middle
of this room for five minutes, and,
