young lady's neglect to "drop tho

NOVEL USE FOR 8CIS30R8,
Popular for Carving Debause They
Cut' Meat, Gristle and Done.
"I thought I know all about scis
sors," Bald tho man. "I had seen
tailors' scissors for cutting heavy cloth,
dressmakers' scissors for cutting flim
sy fabrics and lace, and still other
scissors for cutting paper, fingernails,
grapevines, all kinds of metals and
even for shearing sheep; but In bplto
of that wide knowledge of Bclssors I
was puzzled when I saw tho large,
peculiarly shaped pair of scissors ly
ing In the showcase.
"What are these scUtors for?' I
asked tho clerk.
"Carving meat,' ho said. Vlth
scissors oi tills kind carving becomes
mere child's play."
"'I never saw anybody use them,'
said 1.
'"Nobody doe. use them." said the
clerk. -That Is, only a very row. In
Europe carving sclseors are popular
because they cut right through mat,
gristle, bone and all. but It takes a
little pra. lice to learn to manlpd!ato
the tilings and nobody In this couu
try has patience enough ror that.'"

The painter of portraits shook his

set. "Why can't you paint my fa

cause I hive l othing to go by," said
the painter. "You say you havo no
photograph or even tintype or tho old
gentleman."
"How about that picture or tho
prophet Elijah?" asked tho visitor.
"You say you painted that"
"Yes, but that is purely Imaginary,"
exclaimed the artist, patiently.
"Well, see here," said the man, "the
prophet ElijaYi. ben dead hundreds of
years, and father's only been dead
thirty. Now ir you can imagine Eli
Jah so well, -hy not try your hand
on more modern rolks? Father was
six root tall, and had a prominent rore
head, a big nose, and a kind of a smil
ing mouth. Now If you can paint
something that looks like him, I'm
willing to pay well for It."

Is not a new Invention. At Brest the
demolition of subaqueous construc
