John Carmlohael, a Philadelphia octo
genarian, was ahaved last week for th
flrat tome In forty-eight year. In 1860 ha
voted for Stephen A. Douglas, and because
Douglas waa not elected vowed that ha
would hot shave until he waa 80 years old.
Saturday waa Mr. Carmlchael'a loth birth
day, and laat night's ahava waa In keep
ing with hie vow. Ha haa lived alnce IMS
on the Mlllcrest farm, near Lafayette,
Montgomery county.
When ha reached home after the ahava
hla doc Towser wouldn't let him In. Then
hie wife came to the door, and, taking him
for a tramp, aet the dog on him. Then
he made himself known.
"Well, John, you have made a .ight down
fool of youraelf," aajd she.
Mr. Carmlchael vowa that he will never
be ahaved again.
A Town Without Taxes.
Beverly, formerly the aeat of Randolph
coun West Virginia, and one of the oldest
cities In the state, enjoy the unique dis
tinction, revealing an almost Utopian con
dition, of being probably the only munic
ipality In West Virginia where Its citizens
pay no corporation taxes. The people have
not paid corporation taxes for the- last five
yeara. For three yeara money haa drawn
Interest from one of Its banks.
It costs, figuratively speaking, more to
die than it doea to live in Beverly, for the
city owns Us own cemeteryi and every time
one of Its residents dies, It costs his estate
from 110 to IK for an eternal resting place.
As showing the frugality In the adminis
tration of affaire the grass cut In the ceme
tery la turned to good use. Last year, ac
cording to the city's financial statement,
tS.06 waa received for grass from the ceme
tery. So wisely have the affairs of the city
been administered that there is a balance
today In the treasury of 91.114.S4. At the
head of the city government la K. B. Craw
ford, member of the county court The
recorder Is 8. N. Bosworth.
Vaudeville for Preachers.
Advanced vaudeville waa Injected into a
meeting of the Pittsburg Ministerial asso
ciation, held In the Smlthfleld-Street Metho
dist Episcopal church of Pittsburg, and
made auch a hit that the wild applause of
the mlnlstera attiMted the attention of
the police.
All the merry quips and jests were at the
expense of other denomination. A mono
logue man told about a negro who had been
Immersed by a Baptist minister. The negro
wore a $6.98 suit of clothes, which began
to shrink as soon aa he came out of the
water. One of the slaters threw her arms
about him and asked.
"How do you feel now?"
"I feel like a fool," he replied.
It waa this Joke that set the preachers
, craay. They were ahleking with laughter
when a policeman atuck his head In the
door to find out what It was all about
The janitor tried to explain the Joke, but
Cot It eonfuaed with "Why la a hen?"
Ser . Had. Ilia Hair Cot.
Maple Falls, Wash., boasts a modorn day
Samson, In an eccentric old man, who,
like . the hero of old, has never permitted
bis hair to be trimmed. He weaxa long
locks which hang nearly to the ground.
He la a powerfully built man, and -stands
Is feet five Inches. The man Is John
Fltipatrlck, 7fi years of age, and who.
though so old, can lift a barrel of salt
weighing i70 pounds, at arm's length over
hla huad.
One of hla recent feata of strength waa
at the Yakima county fair, when. In the
presence of many persons, he picked up a,
granite bowlder, which, when previously
weighed, tipped the scales at 450 pounds,
He raised the huge oblong stone In his
arms, carried It forty feet and lpadcd It
Into a wagon box with no asulstance.
Autos for t'lrm Heads.
Finding that high wages and a country
dance given in their honor did not suffice
to keep hired men, Walter Smeetson, a
wealthy farmer residing near Wagner, 8.
D., haa offered to purchase an automobile
for the use of hla male help.
To emphasise his offer, which was ver
bally made In the community, Smeetson
came to this village and inserted In the
local newspaper the following want ad:
WANTED A man to plow; will fur
nish rldlug plow witli canopy top; I will
feed, harness, hitch and 'unhitch horses,
and carry breakfast to him in bed; It
.water doesn't agree with him, will get
something that will; will also furnish
team and bugiry to drive evenings and
Sundays; should ha prefer an automo
bile, will buy him one.
Within twenty-four hours after the ad
vertisement appeared Smeetson received
applications from a dosen husky farm
hands, all of whom, however, declined to
begin work until the automobile Is brought
to the farm. Brneetsoa haa rented a ma
chine pending the arrival of a touring
car that he has ordered from an eastern
manufacturer.

After a recent railway accident In Phila
delphia among the victims taken to the
hospital for treatment was a man who re
mained In the comatose atate, though the
physicians worked long and patiently upon
him. Careful examination also failed to
reveal any specific Injuries, and the doc
tors were putxied to decide what was re
sponsible for his condition. Finally one
of the doctor suggeated an operation for
the appendicitis as a last resort How
ever, upon removing an undergarment, the
following request was found printed upon
a tablet suspended from the man's neck;

fldaret Dies la Poorhooso.
John Harding, to whom P. T. Bamum
offered two a week to exhibit himself, died
In the poorhouse at Norwalk, Conn. Hard
lng's pride would never permit him to place
hlnifflf on show with the midgets, the
giants and the fat women, and ao, while
. he might have amassed a considerable for
tune, he died a pauper.
Nature was In strange mood when she
brought him Into being. Harding was 4J
yeara old, but ho was no bigger than a
normal .-year-old baby. His arms and
legs were gnarled and twisted and from
the moment of hla birth they were In un
ceasing motion. Against his will his legs
kicked and his arms awung around like a
windmill. He never walked; he never even
creeped.
Nevertheless he had a fine brain and a
wonderful memory. He taught himself to
read and write and read good hooka con
stantly. .

The highest church aplre in St Louis Is
being built In a novel way. Its pinnacle
will soar 246 feet above the ground. It la
the first grille work spire In America, the
entire steeple being constructed of stone
lattice, giving free play to heavy winds.
' Engineering applications In the construc
tion of this spire are novel, as every piece
of stone used in the steeple has been cut
at the base of the tower by tools run by
compressed air, and the same agency has
hoisted the stones to the sevsral stagings
of the work. Pneumatio tubing is carried
up the derrick to the successive stages.
Stones weighing fifty pounds have been
shot through these tubes to the workmen
above and held in place by the air until re
moved from the tubes. The whole spire
will be crowned by a steel cap, seventeen
feet high, and several steeplejacks will be
required to fasten It In place.

Believing that there was another life
after death, Henry Stevens of Webster,
Mass., whose body was found near the
New Haven railroad tracka hoarded a for
tune estimated at from 115,000 to $50,000,
which ho desired placed hi his coftln and
burled with him. It was at first .ought
the miser had met a violent death; but
In the opinion of the local police and the
medical examiner, death was due to nat
ural causes.
Stevens, though wealthy, lived In a room
scantily furnished and prepared his own
meals. He worked about the neighbor
hood haying, digging potatoes, cutting
lawns, and cleaning carpets. He was reti
cent about his wealth; but Saturday, after
completing his work for Mrs. A. D. Searle
of School street, said he waa keeping his
money to take with him when he died,
so that he could take things eosy in his
second life. Frequently he spoke about
this after life and requested two of his
Intimate friends to see that his money was
burled with him. No will haa been found.

George Pfssinger, a veteran raccoon
hunter hunter of Pennsylvania, went out
with Jacob Herbein for a hunt on South
mountain and when he returned home some
time later he not only dame empty handed
but In need of a surgeon's attention.
The hunters trailed a 'coon Into a hol
low tree about midnight. Dlsslnger
stood below with the lantern, while
Herbein climbed the tree. The animal sat
quiet until Herbe. prodded It with a stick,
and then leaped from the tree onto Dls
elnger'a head. He dropped the lantern and
tried to throttle the beast, but It sank Its
teeth In the back of his neck and began to
try to scratch his ears off. A terrific battle
followed, which ended In a complete victory
for the 'coon. When Dlsslnger was down
and out the animal trotted off unconcern
edly. Dlsslnger'a neck and face are terribly
scratched.
Animals Love Tobacco.
Animals frequently possess a positive
love for tobacco, according to a me
nagerie trainer.
"In my early days." he aald, "I was
connected with a circus which possessed
the unique attracttoa of a terrier which,
among other tricks, had been Instructed
In the art of smoking a clay pipe. The
curloua point waa that the animal ac
tually got to enjoy Its pipe, and would
Insist on having It at the usual time
every Sunday, as la the performance on
week days.
"The parrot la, perhaps, of all birds
the most apt to take up bad hablta. A
friend of mine has one which la passion
ately fond of eating and ohewing tobacco. (
If given a sufficient quantity the bird will
make Itself positively drunk with : tho
nicotine and will stagger about its cage In
exact Imitation of the actions of an h
texlcated human being. Long practice has
made the bird somewhat of a connoisseur
respecting Its favorite luxuay, and It now
treats finecut tebaccoa with contempt. Its
particular delight la the nun-soaked plug
affected by aallora.
"It is among the Simian tribe that tobacco-loving
quadrupeds are most frequent
This Is generally owing to the monkey'a
overpowering faculty for Imitation, which
sometimes gets it Into trouble.
"A friend of mine has a monkey which
Is addicted to snuff. The animal hae been
taught to take a pinch from the box of a
visitor with all the courtly air so prevalent
In the days when snuff-taklng was the
fashion."

When Farmer George Palmer left Parks
vllle, N. J., early last month for hla first
visit to New York In twenty-one years
there adorned hla chin a beard that had
been his pride and boast for twenty years.
Palmer arrived primed for a good time. He
at ones hiked up to the Great White Way
and looked It over. He went Into the Uls
ter barber shop., at Broadway and Thirty
sixth street The artist who tackled Palmer
started to tell funny stories.
"Pld you ever hear why the hen crossed
the street T" he asked as he prepared the
lather.
"Cut It short." he replied, and then fell
oft Into a alp.
When he awoke he discovered that his
whiskers were gone. Explanations followed
from both sides and Palmer departed In
wrath. The barber Insisted that be had
been told to "cut It short." while the farmer
aaya he meant the joke about the hen.
Palmer consulted Lawyer Jacob 8. Strahl
and has instituted a suit for fi.tfuO damages
against John J. Relsler, proprietor of the
barber shop. In his complaint he says he
has suffered much anguish, humiliation and
ridicule because of hla loss.

French business Interests in the western
Sudan have grown until the telephone has
become a necessity reports the Now Tork
S.n. Hundreds of natives are now en

The first enterprise was to connect the
leading business centers of the Interior;
and th-.-te eonnectiona have now been made
between Kaycs, the hvad of navigation on
tho Smegul, and Medlne. further up that
river; between Kita and Uaramoka fin the .

Trails of ShuotlBaT Stars.
When a ahootlng atar appeara in the sky
It sometimes leavea behind it a luminous
trail; and although tha number of people
who have witnessed thla phenomenon is
not large, and the accounts sometimes given
of it have led to disbelief ot It, yet there
aro enough well authenticated Instances to
establish its authenticity. The . meteor
trails or meteor trains remain visible to
tho naked eye for many minutes, and In
a number of Instances have been observed
to last aa long aa three-quarters of an
hour. Prof. Trowbridge, who examines
the evidence concerning their appearance
and origin in the Astrophyslcal Journal,
attributes them to luminous clouds formed
by the incandescent meteors in their pas
sage through the upper strata of the at
mosphere, and collects a nuumbcr of valu
able facts concerning them. The trails are
sometimes brlgl.t enough to bo seen sev

to be nearly always about fifty miles, a
fact which Indicates thst the phosphores

where the trails are formed. From ex
periments which Prof. Trowbridge has
made with electrical dischargee in air at

Electrle Black Dismssia
A patent haa recently been taken out
In Franco by Mr. Bonnet for a method
of obtaining carbon In an amorphous
fused condition. The apparatue claimed
consists of a vessel of bron.e sr other
metal containing two carbon eleotrodea,
between which Is a rod of pure carboa.
Beneath this red is a smaller vessel eoaw
talnlng carbon bisulphide, which, when
vaporlaed, will produce a high pressure
In the vessel, but will not have any
action upon the carbon. The carbon
bisulphide ts first converted Into vapor by
. means of a slight electric current, and as
Boon as there Is a high pressure from
this cause, a high tension current is passed
through the vessel, with the result that in
a few moments the carbon rod Is fused
and converted Into tho form of black
diamond.
