In chiding all in blast or idle, could, ac cording to the Iron Age. "nppa • ntly produce about 4<MKHMM)O tons if they remained in bl.ist a year." This would b- 0.000.000 tons uliove tbe maximum calendar year output. The Iron Age doubts, however, if all the furnaces could stay in blast a full year, and suggests a trifle over 38.000.000 tons as maximum capacity. Very Annoying.

Here's an odd tiling about tbe Unit ed States senate burlier shop: Although the Dumber of senators has hardly iu creased at all. the number of shave* oas increased at a surprising rate In recent years The reason Is simpl that the senate is now Inhabited large ly by comparatively young men with smooth faces or wearing mustaches at most, and they are obliged to get shaved every tittle while, whereas th old style senator with a riot of wblsk ers never had occasion to visit a burlier shop except every few months to get fcia hair trimmed.—t'Hula tatl Enquirer Th® Human Fac®. i Rosa Bonlieur, tbe great painter of animals, bad a system of mnemonic® whU-b was exceedingly quniuL Sh® could trace In tbe faces of tbose pie wbo visited her a resemblauce to some sort of animal.
