I thought the than would burst a blood

joker, noticed the man’s terror and cal.-

“Then he reached out and dragged in
a stick cut from the tree above us by a
bullet, and fixing a pin in it proceeded
to have his fun. The " man was at the
far end of our log, ten feet from Tom,
and I was just beyond Tom on the other
side, and, I am free to confess, was nor
vous enough to wonder at Tom’s man

‘ However, I couldn’t help watching
his movements, and actually laughed to
see him sliding the pin-pointed stick
along towards the unsuspecting victim.
Having got it at the right distance, be

see his face. It was an-ashy blue, with

was as dead as Julius Caesar,with never
a mark on him, save, perhaps, that one
pin scratch on his back.”
“I should think your joking friend
could never have forgiven himself
for that cruel joke,” suggested the
writer.
“I’m sure he never would have,” con

a good fellow and a brave soldier, but
he never had much of a chance to. for,

War- Safer Than of Yore.
It is usual to compare the battles of
the last century with the battles of to-
day, and dilate upon the greater deadli-
ness of the modern weapons and the
modern results. But the facts are all
the other way. At Fontenoy, for in--
stance, one volley of the Coldstreams
struck down 450 Frenchmen of the Regi-
ment du" Roi, Says the “saturday Rs-

Gardes du Corps had not much short of
500 saddles emptied by a single, volley,
while the French Guards were scattered
by point blank volley from a British
reginent at twenty paces that brought
down 450 men. Here we have at Kru-

A Barber‘s Reply to Theories Held by I
Customer About the Hair and Beard. '
a man remarked to his barber. “I lost
half an hour‘a week in your shop.”
The barber assured him that a strong
heard was a blessing in disguise.
“How do you make that out. Remove,
pray, the disguise.” ' ' "
“Well, when the beard grows fast it's
a sign of vitality. Athletes ever since

matter where it grows. Thin active
people are pretty Sure to have morq'
‘than fat people.” ' ‘ j
“I never heard. it was a sign of vital.
ity,” replied the other. "-‘I' have heard
it was a sign of sensitiveness, and my
.obse‘r'vatidn bears this out. The extent
'and fineness of a man’s pilosity is a cri-
terion of this delicacy and nervous
strength. Besides, you know, a man’s
hair, except as it supplements his nerv-_
ous organization, is quite independent
of him, a kind of parasite, in fact. They
say‘it keeps on growing after death,
and when 'skeletons are exhumed they
are all eyergroi'v'n'like an axe‘ left .in
the grass. That’s the reason why hay-I
seed Popu‘lists wear such long beards;
if death won’t stop it, why should they?

are just lazy enough to rest in such an
excuse.”
“Oh, but, my friend, you are all
-wrongl” expostulated the barber. “The
hair only seems to grow after death.

mediately after death, do’in a few days
is not because the hair has grown, but
because the skin‘has shrunk, thereby
exposing the hair nearer its roots,
which are a 'quarter of an inch from
the surface. This strange phenomena
gives rise to the common fallacy about
the unquenchable fertility of hair.
“As to your sensitive theory,” he con-
tinued, “I can’t agree with you. A the-
ory that doesn’t hold with most women
and many men is no good. Whether a
person’s hair grows generously or not
depends somewhat on his physical in-
heritance (sons of bald men are often
bald, I notice), and very largely on his
own stock of vitality. This much can
be said, however. The man with a full
head of hair seldom has a vigorous
beard; and the man with a sturdy, am-
bitious beard, like yours, is often bald
on top. Nature sees to it that no man
shall be a monopolist of hirsute glory.
That a disproportionate amount of
strength goes to‘the hair is shown by
the fact that, aside from, looks, men
feel better if their hair is cut occasion-
ally. The long-bearded Populist is
properly represented as a lank, cada-
verous, bloodless creature. .And I once

NEXT YEAR’S WHEEL.
Improvements Likely to be Seen in the
‘ ’97 Bicycle.
The subject of ’97 improvements is
pretty young,but it is nevertheless just
what themanufacturers are most con-
cerning themselves with at the present
time, says the American Cyclist. The
prevailing standard will be carried
along another year—perhaps for all
time—but progress will be manifested
in betterment of details, and the term
“details” is comprehensive enough to
include matters sufficiently large to
come under the head of novelties and
innovations. Although riders have as
yet had but comparatively little ex-
perience with the larger tubing intro-
duced this Year, its superiority to the
small tubes of the past has been made
plain, and its use will be continued.
The machine is more rigid, there is less
“winking” of the frame and a resulting
saving of the rider’s strength. A gen-
era-.1 change in spokes may be regarded
as a possibility. There is, in certain
quarters at least, a tendency to return
to the straight spoke. Deference to
fashion seems to have been the main
incentive to the universal adoption of
the bend at the hub, but from the me-
chanical" standpoint the bend has never
been regarded as an improvement.
According to the common belief ball
bearings have come to stay. They.
have, and then again, perhaps they
haven’t. Nothing known equals the
“spinning” quality of the ball bearing
carrying an univeighted Wheel, but
that is not saying that something may
not yet be-found to work better than
balls under a load. It is according to
'good mechanical law to suppose that to
get the bestpossible results the hear-
ing of a wheel‘should, “bear” .the en-
tire'length’of the hub. Wehndderst'and
that a number of makers will tentative-
ly apply modern elaborationof this
principle to bicycle wheels another

gear-caseargues for its eventual adop-
tion here. Full exposure of the chain
to the dust and dirt of the- highway
must be‘ regarded as a mechanical ab-
surdity. The English consider the gear-
case an “extra” to be paid for as such.
To admit of its use a slight departure
from present American models would
be necessary. We look to see American
adoption of the gear-case pioneered by
a maker or two in thenear future, but
accessory will be generally included
among the improvements of ’97.
