A TENDER SKIN.
he Repentant THIaRe Barney Scored One
i on the Minister. ' : v -
Tbe village barber had been com
pletely "on the batter." The ca
rouse bad' been heavy q and pro
longed. At length, with credit ex
hausted, theunnervedanddebilitated
shaver had been compelled to betake
himself-again to the exercised of Mb
calling. Just then the minister, a
kindly old manof the paternal school,
heard that Tammis had ''sworn off
the drink," and he considered that
the bpportunity would now be favor
able to do as tny mother loved to do
that is, "improve, the occasion.,,
Bent on this laudable professional
mission, he sallied forth., -v
On, entering the humble shaving
shop of the remorseful Tammas, how
ever, bis kindly heart was smitten
with compunction at thjght of thd
wretch .before him. Poor Tammas
indeed looked , a melancholy specta
cle. Trembbngwith unstrung nerves,
iMionnift wu ma patsy, ms Dieareo,
bloodshot eyes looked m niteouslv at
the minister, who, only thinking that
it was "no good pouring water on a
drowned rat," swiftly determined to
spare poor iTammas for the nonce
and reserve hia - sacerdotal censure
tin the poor "disjakit creatur" was
in a better condition to profit by &
good, straight talking to. He deter
mined, therefore, to make a kindly-j
pretense tnat he had come m for a
shave and sat down, feeling assured
that some opportunity would pres
ently be afforded of saying his 'word
in season."
Now, Tammas was not unawareof
what was passing in the-anple old
minister's mind, and if the truth
must be told he was not so repent
ant as he looked. He was assumiifg
a good deal of the broken down and
battered appearance which he pre
sented. So with a look of shame
faced penitence, with trembling fin
gers and with silent contrition ap
parent, he proceeded to envelop the
minister's neck in the -towel and then
began to lather his visitor in ap
proved tonsorial fashion. The min
ister eyed him with a mildly re
proachful glance, . which , expressed
volumes to Tammas' conscious sense
of guilt , . .
Now he came to the critical part
of theoperation. He felt his nerves
jumping, but by dint of a strong ef-"
fort of will and bolding'one unsteady
hand with the other he managed to
bring the razor pretty deftly down
the ample expanse of both the cler
ical chops.-.
Butialasl when the wabbling blade
: came to the more intricate manipu
lation of the double chin, thte refrac
tory nerves gave a disconcerting
jerk, and, lo! out gushed thearimson
fluid over the snowy napkin. Now,
thought the good minister--noWiis
my time. - Here is the opportunity I
have been waiting for.' So, address
ing the abashed looking Tammas,
who expected a torrent of indignant
wrath, the simple, kindly man just
ventured on a ivery Tnitd remon
strance. "Ah, Tammas," said he,
"ye see what the effects o' strong
drink are noo." Tammas' spirits at
once rose. He knew the worst was
past, and bis ready htnnor-came to-the
rescue in a flash of inspiration, as
very demurely, but with a spice of
lurking drollery, he gravely replied:
" Deed, aye, meenister. It mak'sthe
skin unco tender."" Our Am Folk. -

CHILDREN AND MIRY TAVAS
Should VonnfE Minds Be Fed ITixia -
rave
,' or SlBii Fiction?
Magazines and newspapers fairly
teem with copious instructions on
the mental training of childhood.
The mother, distrustful of her own
judgment picks up an artiple in a
ourrent monthly . which bids her
"read fairy stories to the children. "
ThQ author goes on to say that t ' fairy
tales d elop tho . imagination, and
that n 13 cruel to deprive childhood
of its natural mental environment
which is certainly the realm of fan
cy." -L ' ,
This is palatable advice, and the
reassured parent forthwith supplies
her children's library with Grimm
and Andersen. "
She is 'charmed with the prospect
of gathering the littlo ones around
her and hearing their exclamations
of pleasure as she reads to them the
lovely tales which have been the do
light of children for ages. -
But very happily, before she has
fully embarked on this yrildareefj
of mental dissipation, her attention
is arrested by tho statement5 of so
eminent an authority that she dare
not treat it lightly: -
- "The English language scarcely
contains words strong enough to de
nounce the folly and crime of parents
wjio tell their children fairy tales.
Little do guardians of infancy reek
of the frightful eil'ect on the imagi
nations of . chilclrcn ; of the sleepless
nights when they co-wer under the
blankets fearful of the possible ap
proach of Bluebeard or a probable
attack by Jack tho Giant Killer."
Them too, thei enomy of the fairy
story claims it has an unwholesome
influence on the morals of the chil
dren, familiarizing them with deeds
of bloodshed and giving them a light
regard for truth.
It cannot be denied that the heroes
and heroines of fairyland will occa
sionally quibble in order to extricate
themselves from the dangers into
which their love of adventure leads
them. . . '
It niust be admitted that - they
teach "an eye for ah eye and a tooth
for a tooth" rather than the gentler
precepts of tho golden rule.
In fairyland the arch offenders al
ways have their heads cut off or-are
boiled in oil or dance in redhot shoes
till they drop dead, or some other
equally tragic end awaits the con
summation of their crimes. The
average child, however, has a strong
sense of - poetic - justice, and thisr is
only satisfied by the complete tri
umph of; virtue and the entire de.
feat of vice. . - -
The Opposer of' fairy tales' recom
mends facts to the unspoiled palate
of youth -historical facts, scientific
facts diluted, if you wilL and sweet
ened to :sxdt the immature mental
tasto,but still substantial facts.
- There is a i modicum of wisdom
and common: sense' in both these
views and much that is neither.
Who that had ' a heart would de
prive childhood of that exultant
thrill when Goldilocks jumps from
the window of the little brown bouse
and escapes the fury of ; the; three
bears? i Realistic - writers would
doubtless wish us to explain how a
little girl could alight without injury
from a second story window or why
the three bears did. not pursue her,
but childhood asks no such ques
tions. Margaret J. Church in Dona
hoe's Magazine.
. , A Good Place to Beat, i
A man went into a store in a neigh
boring town and asked if he could
rest four or five hours. The proprie
tor,' who had just found a nes of
newborn mioe in the coffee grinder,
told him he could and then' asked
him w.hy he didn't go to the hotel.
The man answered: "I am suffering
from nervous prostration, and the
doctor said' to get a quiet place to
rest and I see you don't advertise.
I knew that I couldn't find a quieter
place," r And with that he Settled
back in his; ' chair and watched the

, The Order of the Garter. ; , '
Lord Melbourne- used to Bay that
there was idnly -one order in the
world worth having, and -that was
the Garter,; because ' there was no
merit attached to it at all, and that
was what made it the first order in
Europe. H And therein . Lord Mel
bourne showed bis usual shrewdness.
The distinction men love best is the
distinction which, instead of making
a man dMmguished, merely singles
J him out" as already being so idisltin-
euished that " no reason needs to be
sriven f or distinguishing him further,
The Oarter practically iBays: VHere
is Ahe man ywhom'everytone will
agrle to . think, 'distmgukhed; - The
Garter receives distinction from him
rather than gives distinction to him."
And that -hv precisely the kiM of
testimony which men covet most.
What they desire to think of them
selves is that they do Ttiot need that
any external reason should be as
sumed for the honor in which they
are held,5 that that honor is indeed in
evitable and is a natural consequence
of their being what they are. ('Mer
it" is something earned by effort and
labor. But what people love most is
distinction which is quite independ
ent of effort and labor, which is inn
bedded in their nature, like genius or
manner or breeding. To be weU bred
is not at a - man's own : command.

THE GREAT "WAR COMET.
Its Tan Waa Fifty Million Mllea Xon and
Ten Million MUes Wide. : h c -
"the wonderful "war comet" of 1861
sprang so ; stiddenly-' into view and
blazed with! such unexampled bril
liancy , as to astonish-:: the ' astrono
mers and frighten, those unlearned in
cometary lore half irat 6f their wits."
.The nnleared declared that the-civil
war, which was just getting well nn-
uer neaaway, must have something
to do with. it- However this may be,
it burst forth, unheralded 'and unin
vited, shining with greater brilliancy
and magnitude than any phenomena'
of a sfcnilar nature which that gener
ation had ever seen; -
On the nieht of Jul v 3 of that vaar
it exhibited; a most wonderful spec
tacle, in tne evenmar the nucleus
did not appear to be larger than a
star m the first or second magnitude.
As the RmaTl hours of; the morning
approached however, the nucleus
visibly increased in both magnitude
and brilliancy. f The tail waved back
and forth. over our little world in a
most threatening manner, at times
sending rays almost to the zenith.
On the morning of July 6 the astron
omers announced through the daily
papers that . the head of the great
comet was jmly separated from- the
earth by a -distance of " 12,000,fJk)8
miles. According to the report sent
out fromihe Cambridge observatory,
the comet appears to have passed its
ascending bode between the 27th
and the 29th of June in kmgitude 279
degrees, the longitude, of the earth
being 277 degrees at the same time.
On Oct 10 its tail extended over a
space of 50000,000 miles and at sev
eral points jwas not less than 10,000,-
000 miles in! width. : .
At first was generally conceded
that it was the famous comet of 1556,
the One which caused the Emperor
Charles V of France to resign bis im
perial throjne, he taking it to be a
warning from God. All surmises
were subsequently set-at rest by the'
discovery that it was the famous
Thatcher, cbmet, discovered by Pro
fessor A. F Thatcher at the Euther-
ford observatory in New York city.

. Ctllitr oftheSauattinsr Mole.
"Did yo4 ever hear xf a squatting
mule?" asked a prominent coal .op
erator. "WelL I don't blame you
for not knowing what I mean, for
after 15 years' experience in the coal
business I J did not know of such a
mule until recently. Xne of our
men sent me word that on one of the
workings there was a steep incline'
oyer which! it was difficult for the
men to push the cars. I told (him to
try a mulei and in reply he; stated
that he had purchased a 'squatting
mule.' ; In jmines it means a great
deal of money to get a mule that can
do the work and at the same time
small enough to walk through, the
low,workngs of the nine. Some
tunes for hundreds of feet the' tun
nels will be high enough to allow a'
mule to walk through them ; then at
some points the ceiling may get so
low that the mule cannot crawl un
der It Now, to make the passage
way high enough for the mule'
would entail a great expense, yet we
have of ten had to do this. But a
'squatting mule' obviates this --by
crouching down when it gets to the
low "places; adapting itself to the
height of the tunnel as much as pos
sible.'. So a 'squatting mule' to min
ers is niuch , more expensive than
one that. is not so . trained. "Pitts

r Charlie is nervous. "
And Taking His Girl Along to the Dea
; tUt'vBolned His Chances. I
,- "I don't think," said the girl with
the sailor hat; '"that you used Charlie
right I There he has gone to a lot of
expense getting, ready to marry you,
and you -had not given him an inti
mation - that; you had j any other
thought - than; that of becoming hia
wife.r; Then you threw him over in a

and! know it" V k
"Well," said the girl with the silk
waist "I'm sure I thought I wanted
to many him, but I just couldn't
You wouldn't, either, if you had gone
through what 1 did." "
"Tell me," said the girl with the
sailor hat imperatively. .
"You see, Charlie is nervous. I
think he is a good deal of a coward,
too, but that didn't matter much.
Only one daye told me that it was
necessary for him -to go to the den
tist's and have some teeth fixed, and
he said he couldn't bear the idea.
He talked bo much about the pain
and all that sort of thing that I told
him I would go along and cheer him
--up. .; He said that that would-be just
splendid, and that with me around
he was sure he could stand, all sorts
of : pain without a whimper. We
went up to the dentist's last Satur
day afternoon: We had to wait a
good while in , the ' anteroom, but
Charlie didn't seem to mind it much.
I really think "that my being there
made him feel better, and I was glad
of it
Thetime came for him to go into
the operating room, and-he.went in,
first squeezing my hand and telling
me to stay there until, he came out
I sat over near the door and could
bear the' conversation: The dentist
took one of those horrid, pokey .little
things and pried around in Charlie's
mouth. Then he said that there were
two teeth that would 'have to be
pulled.' I heard Charlie give a great
gasp, and he asked the dentist to let
me come in the room and "stajcthere
until the teeth were out I didn't
want to a bit, buirweht for Charlie's
sake.- When I got in there, Charlie
was lying back -in the chair with his
mouth wide open; and I was shocked.

A Doable Headed Partridge. .
Mr. C. W. Dimick, agent of the
United States Cartridge company ht
Boston, says that' he has a double I
headed partridge: Mr. Dimick found
the bird while on" a' fishing trfpat
West Hartford; Yt It was. at that
time ornamenting a farmer's mantel
piece. Before buying it he.made in
quiries as to the genuineness of the
specimen, and with it secured four
affidavits from persons who saw and
handled the bird before it was sent
away to be stuffed. H.vHazen; sta
tion master of the Vermont Central
railroad at West Hartford, and his
wife ; Dr. C. A Sperry,. the leading
physician of the: place, and F. A
Warren, son of the manwbo shotLE
the bird, all took oaths as to its gen
uineness. Jjeban u. warren, wno
shot the bird, is dead, but the proofs
seem to be sufficiently complete--to
convince the most suspicious. -The
bird js a female of average Bize, but
of unusually fme plumage, brilliant
and full of color.: Both, heads are
perfect. The bird evidently, ate with
both bills, for both; are equally de
veloped, and the taxidermist who did
the mounting reported that it had
two 83sophagi. leading into the one
crop. ,

One of tiie officials of the Pennsyl
yania raflroad, who Is possessed of a
inagnificent bald head, was in; a Phil
adelphia barber shop. the other day
getting shaved. "When he had fin
ished, the barber remarked: "Mr.
, Tve got an elegant new hair re
storer here. Will you let me try it
on your headR' The official assent
ed, ; with" an -observation ;' .which
showed he had preyiousexperience
with the matter. "GO ahead. 1 don't
think yoti can do me any' harm "
Thereupbn the biirber, With a great
flourish, took a - bottle from, the
stand, and with much ceremony be
gan to rub his customer's head, Aft
er he had been rubbing some time
he stopped suddenly ? and seemed
greatly agitated. Tjirning to ' the
customer, he. said in', the most flus
tered manner, "You: must : excuse
me. Mr. - v but -I - really forgot to
ask you how high you.wanted your
forehead." The official suppressed a
smile, and realizing ; that such confi
dence was linusual he gave the man
half a" dollar as -he ; left Pittsburg

How to Smell the Be.' t
; ; It takes half a: lifetime: to learn
how to do anything perfectly.: Few
know bow to inhale ' the perfume of
a flower. The idea; should be to cap
ture "the fine fugitive first, of "alT
aroma by the slightast and mostdeli
cate possible inhalation. , If you jam
your nose flown into' theiflower, you
migfl the the essential attar and get a
rank smell of "the petals and leaves,
a very different thing from the fra
Crrance secreted by the glands at tbe
base of the stamens and pistils. -

Her Choice.
Many stories, mostly fabrications,
have been told about long, diffuse
telegraphic messages sent by women,
as if the feminine mind were incapa
ble of expressing ; itself t concisely.
How; false'; and - slanderous such an
impression is is well shown by the
following incident: A' ,1gentleman
went to London on business. '- As he
went awayihe said, scmiething to his
wife about Ibuying her a new: dress."
Just before't starting- homeward he
telegraphed to his r wife, . "Which
shall I bring:you, a diamond ring or
a silk dressi" The reply was con
