loeunieiits niter .Inly 1 was passed scv

The Collector of Intermil Revenue win-
not be blamed for tlita. The laws are
at fault. A man not versed In the ml

understand why , If he Is stuck with
only two or three little stamps , he
sliould not be allowed to present them
at the Subtreasury , the Internal Uoven-
ue otllce , or the postolllce , and get the
money for them. The fact that they
are In his possession Is evidence that
tliu government has received pay for
thorn. It Khould not be neeossarj for
the holder of $ U worth of stanrps to
make an ulluhivlt setting forth that he
Is the owner , tolling how he came into
possession of them , and going through
various other performances exhaustive
of time and money In order to get what
Is due him , Nevertheless , It Is the law.
The .small lowra by these stamps must
resign themselves to their loss. The

DRY SHAVING IN CHINA.

"Dry shaving has been a blessing to
Ohlna , and In less than IHK ) years has
Imost removed beards from the faces
f the men'of the empire , " observed an
titclllgcnt Chinaman to a Washington
liar reporter. "Originally the Chinese-
ad heavy beards. This Is easily verl-
icd by an examination of any of the
Id prints of Chinamen , for all of them
how long-bcaided men. In time the
eopli found out that there was no par-
leiiljir use for a beard , and that the
\ caring of It was expensive outside of
ho time actually occupied In trimming
r shaving It. How many Americans
f to-day are forced to spend several
iours a week In a barber's chair ? Many
nen that I know , Americans and Euro-
iCans as well , spend twenty minutes
n the barber's chair every dny.
"The Chinamen of the olden times
the kind of Chinaman who figures as
i pirate In your prints , for the good
Chinaman never seems to have got his
Icture In your books at all , until with-
u the last fifty years at most , always
ivore a long beard in reality as well as
n the pletnprcs. Hut even he found
tit that there was no necessity for It.
The learned men of the empire were
isked to consider the matter , and they
irrlved at the conclusion that dry shav-
ng was to some extent a remedy. Any-
low , otllclal edicts were Issued giving
his Information. The old fellows who
uul beards of course were not In It , and
hey lived out their days and passed
ml of existence with full beards , but
ho young were asked to "dry shave. "
Thus the. reform started , and In live 01 *
Ix generations of the people the avcr-
iige Chinaman to-day does not have to
levote over one-half hour In a month to
keep his face hairless. In the next two
generations beards are expected to dis
appear absolutely. It took time to
bring this about , but In the life of a na-

David Scott. U. S. A. , pro-wired the
work In 181 ! ! to Bishop Carruthers as a
estlmony of gratitude. It was the sen

academy. It was engraved hi me/.xo-
tlnt by Ilodgetts , and the print enjoyed
phenomenal popularity. The picture
Itself became o. part of the altar piece
of the Roman Catholic Church In Lo
thian street , Edinburgh.
Time pussexl , and about thirty years
ago the Catholic community migrated
to a new church. The canvas of the
altar piece was rolled up and left lying
hi the schools , whore It was eventually
forgotten. When thickly Incrusted with
dirt , the whole thing was sold for a
trllle to a broker , who thought so little
of his prize that for a time he ued It
, . - - . outhousu
i a t.-u-p.uilin , covering an

A traveling showman made a bid for
the canvas , thinking it would do to
ornament the front of his booth , lint
lie did not get It. A last Indignity \\as
contemplated by the broker , who was
i-erlou--l.v considering the advisability
of cutting off the heads and making of
them picture * of a convenient s/e | for
selling , when an art collector spied the
treasuie , and secured It for a small
sum. The church authorities made vig
orous efforts to recover the mastei piece

value of the picture was disclosed. The
efforts were without avail , for the sale
had been a valid one. Youth's Com

It is said that Edison despies music ,
and that Nikola Tcsla is peculiarly
averse to its charms. That is astrango-
freak. Many believe that a person'
who does not love music has no soul.
But some of the acknowledged gen-
uses of history , among them true po
ts , could not bear the sound of thtf
sweetest melndy. Byron had no ear
for music and neither vocal nor instru
mental afforded him the slightest
pleasure. Edmund Burke , whose oratory
tory was music to his audlenc , hated
music. Charles James Fox , another
great orator ; Daniel O'Conncl , still
another ; William Pitt , a third ; Robert
Peel , a fourth all of these ran away
from the sound of music.
CouMu't Wear Shocn.
Sumpter , 111. . Sept. 9. Mrs. J. K.
FlaniKan of this place hail suffered'
with Dropsy for fifteen years. She waa
so very bad that for the last three years
she has not been able to wear her shoes.
She had doctored all the time , but waa
gradually getting worse.
Last winter Air. Klanlgan , who wan
very much discouraged , called for .some
medicine at Mr. J. J. Dale's drug store
In Caruil. Mr. Dale persuaded him to
have his wife try Dodd's Kidney Pills ,
and he bought six boxes. Ills wife
used live out of the six , before she was
entirely cured. She Is now as sound
and well as ever she was , completely
restored to health , and fiee from any
bjmptom whatever of Dropsy.
To say that Mrs. Flanlgan Is pleased
at her wonderful deliverance does not
half express her feelings , and she and
Mr. Klanlgan are loud In their praises
of Dodd's Kidney IMIIs , and of Mr. Dal *
for recommending this wonderful rem
edy to them.
The fact that Dodd's KldSiey Pills
cured Mrs. Fhmlgan of Midi a severe
case of Dropsy , after the doctors had
given her up , has made them the most
talked of remedy ever known In White
County.
Capital can do nothing without
brains to direct it.
