A youth with untouched face walked slowly past a barber shop, then back again, then passed and repassed, each time drawing nearer and nearer.

"Hair cut?” queried the barber. “Naw: shave,” said the youth. “Just once ov »r, and be kind o’ careful of the neck whisker.” The barber put his hand over his face to hide a grin and went to his lather cup. He turned on the hot water and passed a wink down the line until ev ery barber had his gaze that way. Then, with ponderous care, he lathered the face and coolly began shaving hie customer with the back of the razor. "Does she pull?” he asked after • bit. leetle raw,” said the customer, with fine discrimination. "Got a wire edge, hasn’t It?” The barber replied by stropping bls own band violently, then resumed shaving with the back of the razor. “How’s that?” he said. “Fine as silk,” said the customer, now grown veteran. “I tell you It’s all In the stropping, Jack.”—Baltimore News.

It Is generally supposed that Instinct unerringly teaches birds and luseets the beat way in which to build their homes or nests agd also to provide for their offspring. The * following inci dent will show that instinct la not al ways infallible: A naturalist placed three small emp ty vials in an open box on a shelf in an upright position tn clone contact, and they were uncorked. A short time afterward it was a matter of surprise to find that these had been appropri ated by a female mud wasp. She bad placed a goodly number of spiders in the center vial, doubtless intended to serve as food for her future brood, then proceeded to deposit her eggs in those on either side. She next closed tightly the mouths of all the recepta cles with a hard lime cement. Having finished her work, she then doubtless went on her way, satisfied all had been done for her offspring that a thought ful mother could do. But Just think of the sensations of those little wasps when they come into existence, for, while starving in their sealed cages, they can plainly seo through the im penetrable glass walls the bountiful supply of food which was provided for their use. Sho Thought Ho Was Dead. Maglnnls bad been ill for «orne time, and, like a great many Invalid«, be was somewhat Irritable, and when things failed to meet his approval the next unfortunate who came witbin range was pretty apt to be reminded of It in a way far more forcible than polite. He lingered In this condition for several weeks, dally growing weak er, but still holding bls own sufficient ly to make things lively and more or less Interesting for those about him. Finally one day when the family doc tor called be met the long suffering Mrs. Maglnnls coming out of the sick room, and, rubbing bls bands, he cheer ily remarked: “Ah, good morning, Mr*. Maglnnls! How Is our patient today?” “It’s dead the poor mon Is, O’lm afther thinkin’, hlvln rlst his aowl!" was the resigned reply. “You think he is dead? Don't you know whether he Is or not?” demand ed the doctor. “Not fer shure,” responded Mrs. Ma- glnnls briskly, “but thin he bethrays lvery symptom of It. I wlnt Into hla room Jlst now, an'.he didn't t'row any thing at me!"—London Tit-Bits. Snuff as Medicin«. “Oh, yes,” said the tobacconist, as be tapped a Jar filled with a cinnamon col ored powder, “I sell an ounce or two of snuff occasionally—to the old, as a rale. The young will seldom look at snuff. And those who do use it Im pute medicinal virtues to It.

THE WORLDS GREATEST SEWING MACHINE k JJGHT RUNNING Rescued a "Foxy” 8qulrrel. A man in New York state who owns several fine cats stepped out of his house one day to see two of his feline possessions crouched tn the grass, and equidistant between them sat a com mon striped squirrel, not daring to move a hair lest he invite the sharp claws of one or both of his enemies, but the anxious brown eyes rolled from side to side as he calculated his chances of escape between the two. The man walked on toward the squirrel, and when he came within Jumping distance the squirrel seized bis opportunity and leaped upon the man's trousers and ran nimbly to bls shoulder. Then the man backed slowly toward a tree at no great distance from him. Again when within leaping distance the squirrel Jumped Into the tree and dis appeared amid Its branches.
