A nearly grown boy walked into a barber shop, the ‘other day, took his seat in the chair fora hair-cut, and as the barber was taking it off asked : “How much do you charge for cutting a boy’s hair ?”’ | “I charge only 15 cents for boys,’ re- plied the artist, “but will have to charge you 29 cents.” “Then you don’t cut any more for me,” exclaimed the youth as he jumped up and threw the apron off. The boy then went to another barber shop with only one. side of his head showing. “What do you charge for cutting a boy’s hairj?’” was his question as he walked in. “15 cents,” was the answer. “All right,” sad the boy, “mine is half cut and I’ll give you 74 cents to finish it.” | The barber completed the job, but could: hardly restrain his laughter until the work was done. The Greenville boy is not often left behind. A Profitable Industry. ' We make a great mistake when we despise small things. We lose time, labor and money reaching out atter the big prizes, when we could make a for- tune by turning our attention to the small affairs of life. The New York World calls atten- tention to the fact that our hens con- tribute yearly over $135,000,000 to the wealth of the country. ‘They have caused the rise aud growth of that wor- thy class, the chicken farmers. As our contemporary weli says, no chicken farmer ever led a riot. Few of them have gone to the gallows and few have been sent to jail. They areas a class as quiet, peaceful and contented as their hens. ‘The demand for chickens and eggs is practically unlimited. They are pro- ducts which will stand shipping long distance, and they are articles of , univer sul consumption. Here in the south We are paying altogether too little at- tention to this money-making industry— Durham Sun.

We have just heard of a farmer who cae to town and purchased a new suit of clothes, placed the bundle on the seat beside him and started home. | ‘ When ‘nearing home the idea struck him tit it would be a surprise to dis- card his old patched clothes and go home in a new suit. He pulled off his duds and tired them in the Kanawha river at three mile bridge, a piece ata time.

Find- ing that the sound came from a sinall building used as a school house, he drew nearer. As the door was open, ‘He Went ii aid Tistened to the words the boys were spelling. ‘One little fellow stood apart, looking “vary sad. “Why daes that boy stand phar ” asked the gentleman, . “O, he is goad for nothing,” replied hs teacher. “Dhere’s nothing in him.

Atter.a few words to them, ‘plac- ing his hands on the head of the little fellow who stood apart, he said, “One of these days you may be a fine scholar. _ Don’t give up; but try, my boy, try.” The boy’s soul aroused.

The’ dairy is a very large yard, with open sheds all round, in which the cattle are tied, the tiger’s tain near the other. The tiger got out about seven p. m. ahd calmly strolled around, the pluce being full of cattle | and people at the time; but,fortunate- ly, he had no desire whatever to taste. stall-fed beef, or. Hindoo either, al- | though he passed within a few. feet of | the cows and the men, and after cxam- | ining them all quietly lay down by the | fountain. | By nine o’clock a couple of elephants | brought down the nets and a cordon | was run around the place, preventing | the tiger eseaping or getting at tire | cattle, when two rather amusing inci- | dents occurred. A cow managed to get. into the yard, and after skipping about | for some time rushed into a part of the | net closest to the tiger; and for some | time struggled frantically to get loose. Kvery one fully expected that the cow | ‘would be killed. Finally, however, a number. of men went out and held the | wretched animal down and removed | the net. Hardly was this over when a, splendid stud bull got over a part.of | ‘the net which had fallen down,andafter | ‘careening about the yard just as the cow | had done, rushed right up to the foun- | tain and' dipped his nose into the wa- | ter. Evidently he had no idea the tiger | ‘was there or he would never have gone | up in.the style he did. However, after | drinking, he looked up, when the tiger, | who could not have been more than a | few feet away, “woughed” in his face, | and the way that bull went away after that did one’s heart vood to see. These Were two grand opportunities, for witnessing “how the tiger seizes his, prey,” particutaly, as there were several sportsinen about, but unfortu- nately, it was not to be, After worrying the poor brute for two days and two nigbts, during which time he got into the net once, he quiet- ly walked into his cage and was shut up. The cool and indifferent way in which Bassapali Urs’ fossilized hunt- | ers, With their fearfully. and wonder- | fully made hundooks, walked up and | down past the tiger was most amusing. | What they would havedone in the event ! of the tiger making. for one of them | it is hard to tet © The ‘claws lave grown into the pads of the tiger, and the wretched animal ‘séetis. to. ‘be suffering great pain.. Nad it not been for this there would doubtless have | been a very different tale to tell.— Asian. SOURCES OF CONTAGION. The Breath of Sick Persons Laden with | Deadly Germs. “A little girl, six years of age, was taken by her mother into a street car. The ear was crowded, and a delicate- looking man lifted the little one to his knees. She sat there a moment, then slid down and clung to her mother’s skirts, 4 bi Han After they had left the car, she said: “Mamma, | couldn't sit there; that man breathed in niy fate and nade me sick.” | For duys afterward she -eomplained. that she coult not yget that dreadful taste out of her mouth. «1m due time she was“atthekéd with typhoid fever and died, There was no qtestion whatever in ihe mand of the physician that the wan Who took’ the child up was in the first staves of typhoid. Believing that this disease could be transmuted by the breath, be took pains to make experi- | tients. A siifferer from typhoid | | sota and North Dakota.

Lumber and flour are the staples of the trade, and the shipments are rapidly growing in importance. The largest shipment of flour ever made from the PugetSound region for African ports was being loaded a few days ago at Port Blakely. It consisted of 8,000 sacks. —About 15,000 tons of starch have been made from potatoes this season in the three states of Wisconsin, Minne- 5,500,000 bushels of potatoes have been thus used, and yet this represents about half the product of the potato belt. The farmers have received an average price of ten cents a bushel for the po- tatoes. —The latest discovery of a new star at the heavens. Mrs. Fleming, of the Harvard observatory, found it from standard photographs a few days ago, a peculiarity of the spectrum taken in Peru last July. The new star is in the constellation Centaurus, and appears to have changed into a gaseous nebula. —The saltiness of the sea has much to do with the ocean currents, which distribute the heat of the tropics over rents are largely due to the difference between the specific gravity of sea water, and the fresh water of rains. Thus when rain falls on a certain part of the ocean the effort of the heavier salt water of the ocean to establish an equilibrium causes a current. —Theminute creatures that have lived | in the sea for ages past have left endur- | ing monumcnts in the shape of islands, rocks and continents. If the sea had not been salty, these marine animals could not have existed and secreted the hard substance known as a “calcareotis skeleton,” which has largely contrib- uted to the growth of continents. Among these early inhabitants of the sea were corals, crinoids, sea urchins and star fishes. THREE TIMES THREE. California Woman.

The mother of this remarkable family is Mrs. George Walters. All the children are well and happy, and the-last trio are as healthy a set of youngsters as can be found anywhere. ; The Walters home is in an out-of-the- way part of the Mendocino forest dis- trict.
