"What becomes of all the old shav-
uig mags?” was the question asked tbs
barber.
•*W hat becomes of the owners?” was
the response. t
Neither side seemed disposed to aa-
■wer tue qusry. end tbers was an awk-
ward alienee. The barber Happed his
laaor on tbs strop, smeared soma extra
lather on tbs victim's month so he
wouldn't be Inclined to Interrupt and
•aid In a stags whisper:
“Now, ru tan yon. bat I don’t want
It shouted from the housetops. Ws
mo the mags again.”
He paused and sighed as bo tosood
tbo qasrtlotier's head tbs other way.
^ continued, "we nee them
again. Ws don’t Ilka to loss custom-
•rs^but If ws must lorn them, why, wo
don’t mind If they leave their caps,
etc., behind. It’s surprising how many
do: but, then, barbers do mostly a
‘shifting trade.’ It’s no secret that we
urge customers to have their own cup.
Most of them are satisfied If they taavs
a private cup. brush and sponge. We
supply them with the man’s name on
the cup for 51.50. and our profit on the
transaction is 60 cents. When a man
has a razor and comb and brush be
sides the other tools, he generally takes
the whole lot away when he’s leaving,
but countless cups, brushes and
sponges are left behind In every barber
shop.
“The (-ips are always good. Many of
them contain such common names as
John Smith, William Jones, etc., and
when some other John Smith or Wil
liam Jones orders a cup we simply sup
ply him with the cast off one. Some
times they need a Uttlle touching up
with gliding: but, on the whole. It’s
very profitable.
"The brushes and sponges? Ob, we
use them on the transients.”—New
York Telegram.
POULTRY POINTERS.
Docks and g^ese need no grain when
they have plenty of grass.
Chicken fatten faster on cOoked food
than on raw because It Is more easily
digested.
When soft feed le given to either
young or old fowls, It should never bo
thrown on the ground.
When closely confined, the loooo grain
fed to fowls should be scattered among
litter of some kind, so that they can
•cratch It out
There la nothing so bad for the health
and well being of poultry as confining
them In close quarters and preventing
them from taking needed exercise.
One of the most important Items to
Insure succees In /he batching of chick
ens In winter Is to get the eggs from a
flock of healthy and vigorous fowls.
There Is better health among roving
fowls because they get the food that Is
best for digestion and get the necessary
grit to help the gizzard do Its work.
When necessary to administer, medi
cine by placing It In the drinking wa
ter, keep the birds from drink for sev
eral hours. They are then thirsty and
more apt to get a good swallow.
The Last Execution at Tyburn.
The last execution on a permanent
gallows In London took place at Ty
burn on Nov. 7, 1783, the'malefactor
being one John Austin, condemned for
highway robbery with violence. For
centuries Tyburn had been the scene
of executions for criminals condemned
In Middlesex, and before tbe erection
of tbe permanent gibbet occasional
bangings bad taken place, record exist
ing of the hanging of Judge Tresslllan
and Nicholas Brembre at that place ao
far back as 1388.
The gallows consisted of three posts,
and around It were open galleries, re
sembllng race stands. In which seats
were let. On account of the disgrace
ful scenes on the road, executions were
transferred In 1783 to the area In front
of Newgate, despite the objections of
residents, and on Dec. 3 of that year
the first banging took place there,
when no less than ten were executed.—
London Chronicle.

It Is a little gratifying to reflect that,
however the man of today may com
pare with his ancestors of bygone cen
turies In physique and morals, his
drees la much more moderate and In
expensive, even it It Is lets pictur
esque, than theirs.
It Is true that hero and tharo one
may And some foolish young man
whoso taste la dress la as extravagant
as that of any “buck” of tbe days of
the Georges. There la, for Instance, a
son of a well known peer who has the
reputation of never wearing a suit
twice. He has a wardrobe of waist
coats of all the colors of the rainbow,
ranging from a light blue spangled
with silver stars to a deep green eatln
with buttons of eighteen carat gold,
each of which is adorned with the
painted face of a beautiful woman
Another wealthy aristocrat Is credit
ed with havlug as mauy suits and uni
forms as there are days In tbe year
and with spending on his tailor's bill
a sum which would pay the yenrly
■alary of a minor cabinet minister.
But such men are modestly arrayed
compared with the Randles of many a
past century. The earl of Northum
berland who lived in the latter part of
the fourteenth century boasted ho few
er than sixty suits of cloth of gold
alone, and^tbu bishop of Ely of that
time had a change of raiment for ev
ery day of the year.
Much later. In Queen Mary's time,
the wardrobe of a bishop might have
been the envy of Solomon for tbe va
riety and costliness of Its contents, and
even a simple village priest, according
to Fuller, wore "a vestment of crimson
•atin, x vestment of crimson velvet, a
stole and fanon set with pearl, gowns
faced with taffetas, etc.”
In the days of Chaucer fashionable
men wore clothes as njany colored as
Joseph's coat, so that “while one leg
would ho a bias* of crimson tho other
would be tricked out In green or bine
MeKlaley til the Reporter Who
PeraUteatly Amended Him.
During one of his congressional cam
paigns Major McKinley was followed
from place to place by a reporter for a
paper of opposite political faltb, who la
described aa being one of those
"shrewd, persistent fellows who ore al
ways at work, quick to see an oppor
tunity and skilled In making tbe mos*
of It." While Mr. McKinley waa an-,
noyed by the misrepresentation to
which he waa almost dally subjected,
he could not help admiring tbe skill and
persistency with which be wee assail
ed. Hla admiration, too, wax not on-
mixed with compassion, for tho re
porter waa Ul, poorly clad and had an
-annoying cough. One night Mr. Me-
Klnley took a closed carriage for a near-
by town at which he was announced to
■peak. The weather was wretchedly
Mw and cold, and what followed la
thus described:
He had not gone far when he heard
that cough and knew that tbe reporter
was riding with the drlTer on tbe ex
posed seat The major called to the
driver to stop and alighted. “Get down
off that seat yonng man." he eald. The
reporter obeyed, thinking tbe time for
the major’s vengeance had come.
“Here," said Mr. McKinley, taking off
his overcoat "yon put on this Overcoat
and get Into that carriage.”
"But Major McKinley," said the re
porter, “I guess you don’t know who 1
am. I have been with you the whole
campaign, giving It to you every time
you spoke, and I am going over tonight
to rip you to pieces If 1 can."
“I know." sold Mr. McKinley, “but
vou put on this coat and get Inside and
get warm so that you can do a good
Job.”—Cbautauquan.

At one fashionable epoch our ances
tors, to quote the words of a quaint
chronicler, "would wears clothes so
tighte to ye skin that It might well be
conceived they wore no clothes at all,”
and at another they would wear them
“so voluminous that a single suite
might well have afforded rayment for
a whole famllle, and so stuffed out
wltb feathers that, of a verity, tbelr
wearers resembled nothing so much ao
walking sackes.”
At another period It waa the gro
tesque fashion to combine on one per
son tbe dress of all tbe countries of
Europe—tbe bat would be Spanish, tbe
coat French, tbe trousers Turkish, and
■o on—so that tbe wearer was a “walk
ing epitome of tbe dress of a conti
nent”
At one time shoes would be worn
wltb square toes of sucb width that a
royal proclamation was Issued limiting
tbe width to six Inches, and these
shoes were succeeded by others wblcb
came to the finest of points at tbe toes.
In Henry II.’s time shoes wltb points
two feet' long were worn by the fash
ionables, and In the reign of Henry
IV. these points bad grown to sucb an
inordinate length that In order to be
able to walk at all It was necessary to
attach tbe tips to the knees by chains,
which were of gold or silver, while the
top^ of the shoes were carved wltb all
kinds of fantastic designs.
In the early part of the eighteenth
century It was a common thing for a
man of fashion to spend several hours
a day with his valet, among the many
quaint operations being “the starching
of tbe bearc and the proper perfuming
of garments, the painting of the face
and anointing wlrb oils, tinctures, quin
tessences and pomatums.” It Is even
said that some of the dandles of the
time bathed In wine and milk “for the
preservation of their cor^plexions and
the rejuvenation of theii •'uergles,"—

THF. MAGIC NUMBER.

This was received with some con
tempt by thq company, and a soulful
youth gushed out:,
"Two, oh, two la the magic num

A bard featured Individual, who bad
been listening to tbe conversation bltb-
erto unmoved, here remarked In a
harsh voice:
“The magic number Is number one
In this world, and If you want to suc

No Word For Love.
In comparison wltb tbe English
tongue foreign tongues seem parsimo
nious In some ways of expression and
wasteful In others.
For Instance, It la Impossible to “kick”
a man in French. You must give him
a “blow wltb tbe foot’’ Tbe Portu
guese do not “wink" at one; they “close
and open tbe eyCs.”
In the languages of tbe American In
dians there Is no word wltb which to
convey the Idea of “stealing." perhaps
because tbe Idea of property Is so
vague. It Is related of one of tbe early
missionaries that In attempting to
translate tbe Bible Into Algonquin he
could find no word to express “love”
and was compelled to Invent It.
