"First class barber shop you have here in the house," ventured Wheeler a little more forcibly. "Pretty good," said the cleric, sympathetically. continued Ralph, warming to the subject. "I had a shave there awile ago. That is.

I went in there for a shave three hours ago. The man who got hold of me was an artist, I could see that.

It was getting frightfully thin, he said; seamed to be inclined to drop out about the temples and near the apex of the crown. After I had had my shampoo, he said "thought he had better apply some a preparation which he allejred every man's hair required, at last. I hadn't thought of a shampoo, uch less 'Hairline, but as I had alreaciy lost an hour, I let him lead me over to the water tank and shampoo me; then he opened a brand new bottle of 'Hairline' and applied it liberally, after' which he wrapped the bottle in paper and laid it aside.

Three miles south of the Mesa En cantada, in Mexico, is a splendid specimen of fantastic erosion au "island" in the air; a rock with overhanging sides nearly 400 feet high, 70 acres in area on the fairly level top, indented with count less great bays, notched with dizzy chasms. The greater part of the islnnd overhangs the sea like a huge mush room, and on the top stands a town which for artistic charm, ethnological interest and romantic history has no peer. This little town of Ancoma Is one of the most perfect of types of the prehistoric Pueblo architecture.

Most of the houses remain of tho type invented when every house muat be a fort. One climbed a ladder to his first roof and pulled up the ladder at night living on the second and third floors and using the ground floor as a cellar. Against enemies armed only with bows and arrows this was a fair defense. Comfort had to be sacrificed to safety. Nothing except the eagle sought such Inaccessible eyries as these victims of their own civilization.

Because they were farmers motead of freebooters; because they had homes, instead of being vagrants, they were easy to find, and they were the prey of a hundred nomad tribes. With inconceivable labor this island town In the nir was built and fortified. It was reached only by a mere trail of toe holes up the stem of the "mushroom." The age of the island is not known except that it was already old in 1540, when the first explorer visited it and wrote an account of its wonders. Public Opinion. Fairy Literature.

It may be doubted whether those wno have not been forced to a liberal reading of fairy stories after they have grown up altogether realize the objections which exist aafiinst many of them. On the other hand, It Is quite unfair to condemn them all because so many of them carry the supernatural to an objectionable and harmful extreme. It would be a loss to literature Indeed to blot out altogether the romance and chivalry which are bound np In the time honored stories of the nursery. Those who contemplate any departure radical as this can only be counted among those enthusiasts who are always In favor of extreme measures. While there may be valid objections to some of the more bloodthirsty talcs and nthnr.

A Brntnl Custom of Small Craft Several Years Ago, A few years ago when the smaller sail' lnir vessels used to make frequent voy ages to this port for cotton cargoes the police authorities had troubles of their own in trying to stop "skanghai ing" of sailors, which was so common at that time. It was not an easy matter to pick up a crew, and sailor people were not fiiendlily disposed toward the slow ships which came in.

Offers of big wages naa to be made, and even this failed some times to brins the results wanted. Be sides, the ship people were not inclined to pay big wages when by a ntue snrewa and clever work they could shanghai a crew for nothing. In the little barrooms which flourished along the water front poor unfortunate devils were drugged and smuggled aboard ship at night to wake up with excruciating pains when the ship was rocking her way on the deep. That waking was not a pleasant moment. JNegroes were ire onentlv eatbered in the nets, but the cap tains seemed to prefer white men.

The custom was dropped somewhat after a young preacher had been shanghaied and carried to St. Petersburg. He managed to write home months later of his adven tnrp. whpn his family and friends had given him up for dead. The preacher told of his hard life on the ship and the lnves ti7Btinn as to the cause of his being taken off frightened the shanghai crowd so that it was less dangerous Tor strangers io nrnwl nlonir the water front.

Once a corpse was shanghaied. There was a captain of a bark who came here on frequent trips and who was considered the most brntal man that ever sailed a Bhip. He never hired a crew because they all knew him too well, and he bad to rhnnee his customs oraer to Keep a few good men. But the recruits naa to Bnffpr. One eht a tramp staggered in to a water ftont bar and shivered as ne tried to hug the stove.

A man who no tiwd him saw that he was dying. The Door fellow, killed by drink, staggered in to the street again and died. Two men considered the swiftest things known here in the shanghai ing line saw tne chance of a few dollars, and the body was ouickly stolen. The bad captain had already offered them good pay for recruits, but they had failed to find any. The ship was to sail the next morning.

At midnight the two experts walked up tho gangplank with the muffled figure. It was stowed away. "We gave mm a nig dose," said the men, "and you must not wake him for 30 hours." They got their pay and left the ship. When the time was up, tne capiain nau the figure dragged out. He kicked It when it did not rise.

Other kicks failed to move it Then he saw the man was dead, and the body was tossed overboard without ceremony. The captain thought the man had died aboard ship, and nothing was said. But when he got back to Charleston some months later and heard of the fake he was fighting mad and refused to take subjects from Charleston ever afterward. The business now Is notwhat it used to be, and larger vessels with more businesslike methods are sent here for cotton. With the disappearance of the smaller craft there is little or no shang hat ing, and the men who made a living by drugging unfortunates have quit the field.

On July 5, 1854, a fire brolce out In the National theater, which soon extended to the Chinese museum, separated from it only by a narrow alley.

In the destruction of the museum was lost the most famous automaton the world had ever known, and yet the fact passed unnoticed in the Philadelphia newspapers that day. The automaton chess player, like many of his human antagonists, had outlived his day and for Beveral years had occupied a ress in a small room in a part of the building but little frequented by visitors. This famous automaton was constructed at Vienna in 1709 by Wolfung, baron von Kempelen, a man of extraordinary mechanical ability a good naturalist ana artist. The automaton consisted of a chest, upon which was seated the figure of a Turk. The chest was 3 feet long, 2 feet broad and 2 feet high, placed on casters, which enabled the exhibitor to move it from one part of an apartment another.

The object of this arrangement was to show the spectators teiat no trapdoor communicated with the chest. The left arm of the Turk was nonow, and through it ran a wire which communicated with the interior of the chest, where, by means of a lever, the operator concealed within it was enabled to give every desired motion to the arm, hand and fingers of the figure. When the doors of the automaton had been closed, the operator began to make his arrangements for the game. This he did by swinging the whole furniture oi the interior of the chest mock wheels, machinery, etc. against the outer doors and walls of the box, so as to throw all the subdivided compartment into one apartment.

By this means he naa room enough to seat himself comiortttDiy De fore the chessboard on which he played. Th moves of the adversary of the Turk, when made on the board before the figure, were communicated to the occupant or the chest by means of wires connected with a number of disks insertea in tne top of the apartment, and as soon as any one of the pieces on the Turk's board was touched the fact was communicatee Dy the corresponding disks being put in motion. The concealed chess player reproduced his opponent's moves on his own board, and when he was ready to repiy to them he made use of the left arm of the figure for that purpose, as already stated. Th automaton was exhibited in Vien na for some months, attracting a crowd of savants from all parts of the empire. Finally, the scientific and mechanical pursuits of the baron having made sad in roads on his patrimony, he set out on a tour throuch Europe with the object of endeavoring to retrieve his impaired fortunes by giving exhibitions of his curious invention in the principal cities on tne continent.

lief ore starting on his travels von Kempelen engaged the services of the most skillful chess player he could find to operate the outomaton. To secure, too, the Turk from all hazard of defeat, ending of games were only played, under th nretext that complete games would occupy too much time. A book contain ing a series of end games was always handed to the opponents of the automaton, and they were allowed their choice of the white or the black pieces. Neither in appearance could be fairer than this; but, as a matter oi iaci, iue inmuum were so contrived that whoever took the first move which the Turk invariably claimed had a force won game. When Baron von Kempelen diea in 1804, his son disposed of the automaton to one Maelzel, court mechanic at Berlin, who occasionally exhibited it.

In 1S09 Maelzel was occupying some portion of the palace of Schonbrun, when Na poleon made it his headquarters alter tne battle of Wagram. It was there that the automaton played with the emperor the now historic game of chess. Napoleon, who was a poor player, quickly lost the game. He then challenged the automaton to a second encounter, in tue course of the game he purposely made a false move. The Turk bowed grajply and replaced the piece on its proper i.

square. A lew seconas iuirr iue em peror repeated his maneuver ana wua a similar result. But when the thing occurred for the third time the automaton swept the whole of the chessmen off the board. Allgaier, the inventor of the gambit named after him, is believed to have been the player who had the temerity to inflict so merited a rebuke upon the "victor of a hundred battles." About two years later Eugene Beau harnais, then viceroy of Italy, witnessed an exhibition of the automaton at Milan. His curiosity was so great that he bought of Maelzel both the automaton and the secret of his mechanism for 30, 000 francs.

The prince, however, soon tired of his purchase, and the Turk, relegated to a lumber room, passed the next four or five years in inglorious seclusion. In 1817 Maelzel bought back the automaton at the same price Prince Eugene gave for It. After exhibiting the Turk for several years in England and on the continent Maelzel sailed from Havre for New York In December, 1825. Here the automaton defeated the most skillful American amateurs and became tne sen sation of the day. During the tour of the Turk through the United States he drew great crowds, and the pockets of his owner became well tilled.

But in Baltimore, by a curious acci dent, a discovery was made of the fact that some one was concealed tne au tomaton. The affair happened in tnis wise: One dav two lads mounted on the roof of a shed commanding a view of the room to which the Turk retired after the exhibition was over. On this occasion Maelzel. as soon as the audience had dispersed, rolled the automaton be hind the curtain. Intent only on reuev' Ing his ally from his irksome confinement, Maelzel stepped to the window, threw the shutters wide open and then returning to the automaton lifted the top of the chest.

From this hiding place there emerged, in full sight of the boys, a man in his shirt sleeves. Ana so secret that hrru baffled all Europe for nearly a century was at last made public by two American schooiooys. i nnaaei' phia Record.

SURPRISED THE BARBER. A Serlea of Questions Which Brought About Satisfactory Results. A baldheaded man with four days growth of beard on his chin went into a wWs shoD and sat down in one of the operating chairs. To him presently went the knight of the razor, who remarked interrogatively, "bhave, sir; "No." growled the man in the ehair. "I want to be measured for a suit of This statement seemed to surprise the barber, but he managed to say, "This isn't a tailor's shop sir "Isn't it?" "No, sir." "What is it? "Tt'a hnrhpr's shon." "What sort of work do you do in this "Shave men and cut tneir nair, sir.

"Do you think a man with no hair on his head would come in here to have his hair cut?" "No, sir." "Do I look like a lunatic?" This was replied to by a silent shake of the head, but the barber doubtless thought he was acting like one. "Then, presuming me to be a sane man, but baldheaded, what would you natural 17 suppose I came here for?" "Fnr a "Then, my dear sir, why did you ask me if I wanted a shave when I took a seqt in your chair? Why didn't you go to work at once?

Pearson's Weekly. A Prettr Wedding: Custom.

There is a pretty wedding custom in Peru. The origin and the significance I could not learn. Some say it is a Biblical and others that it is an old Moorish custom. It is customary for the padrina, or godfather, of the groom to hand the padrina, or godfather, of the bride a tray containing 13 pieces of money. It may be gold or it may be silver, but there must be 13 pieces, because Christ and the 12 apostles make that number.

The god father hands the tray to the bride, and she hands it to the priest, and the priest spends the money for charity. 3 28 Avenue. umn for G. F. E.
