A collection of Kliuktw|)uurti relicH
in now in the possession of Thomas
Hornby of Kingsthoritf', by North
utnptoii, says the London .Sketch,
Tht>y were preserved in tin' lion ■ •
in which Shuko.Hpenro was born,
which was owned t y the ilosct'iitl-
lints of his sister .loan. In 17H.i John
Hart, sixth in dcscent from .loan,
lost his only chil'l. Ho then suggest-
«*«1 to a kinsman, Thorn s Hornby,
to rent the house anil take over the
relics at a valuation. This was ilone,
anil Hornby's widow resided in the
lioilKo until 1 N"0, when she left it in
t'on>i"|iience of the then owner in
creusing her rent. She then moved
these relics into a house oppo-ite,
where she exhibited them for s«>v
t*ral years.
Their present owner recently in
herited them. They comprise sonic
fine old oak furniture, a hnib ; n. a
saw, a quaint deed bos an 1 several
pictures. A square portrait, quite
pretty, is said to represent Shake,
peare's sister Judith. An o\al p r
trait is described as that of his
daughter Susannah, who married
I)r. Hall, but it is more probably
that of ihcir daughter Kli/.abi th,
who married Sir Join* Harnard We
are not in possession of the evidence
which eoiiuecth the e articles with
the poet, but they are all of Shakes
peare's period, or earlier, and it is
certain that they were in the birth
house for many years before the
cud of the last century.

Moltke's wife was of Knv.H h
origin, but in his criticisms on
lai. l Mine. Moltke's descent made
no difference to the general. When
he had to be mounted for some re
view and the liiike of Wellington
Mk provided him wit li a horse, he wrote
to his wife: "The Lord in his wrath
made the Duke of Wellington mas
tcr of the horse. He understand*
nothing about horses; so h • ] >r- >vi• 1 I
me with an animal that had run at
the last races. 1 never rode a more
uncomfortable one." In Moltke's
letters to bis wife and other rchi
fives this description of the service
in an Knglish church is dcscrilted:
iA "The prayers last for about an
hour, m the course of which clergy
man and congregation alternately
speak. The consequence is that one
jniss-s about half the time upon
one's knees, which seems an easy
task, seeing that one is provided
with a I velvet cushion and ail
easy chair at one's back, but in ot her
respects it is really a chastis'inent

BARBERS IN INDIA.
Mm Sit Comfortnlily on Their Home Vr-
r'tiiilni to lt<> Kliavetl.
The burlier of India is a man of
much importance. He has no shop
and doe* not solicit customers by
signs or symbols. The Hindoo bar-
ber isa man of few words. His prin-
ciple is a silent tongue and strict at-
tention to business, if the tourist in
India observes closely the stream of
lit* seen on the stieets, he will now
and then notice a man of quiet de-
meanor strolling nloiig near the ba-
zar: currying a small bag or a rolled
up bundle under his arm, apparent-
ly not very solicitous of the atten-
tion of the passershy. This is the
Hindoo barber, lie dots not, like
his Chinese compeer, ring a bell or
utter any < ry. (quietly he goes along,
more liken philosopher than a sliav
or of men. Hut, despite the fact that
he has no shop and lacks pomp, he,
however, holds a distinguished po-
sitn n among his countrymen.
The Hindoo bai l < r visits certain
families regularly every morning.
The servant announces his presence,
ami becomes in with a salaam and
a "morning habit." You sit down
comfortably out on the veranda.
Tin bi.rl.t r unrolls his little bundle,
displaying two or three razors, a
pair of si issors, a small iron instru-
ment to cut the nails, a piece of
bather for stropping and a little
brass cup, wliii h lie fills with cold
water hot water is rarely used. Ho
carries no brush for lathering the
face.
After stropping the razor he wets
your face and coninienees his shav-
ing operations. A few light touches
of tho razor, hardly felt, and the
whole thing is done in less time than
it takes to tell it. After shaving he
rubs the palm of his handover your
face two or three minute.-.. In this
manner lie polishes your face to
such a degree that yon are surprised
when you look m the (Jas-- in fact,
your own face would malce a fairly
pood looking glass loi some other
person.
For his daily services he receivon
cents a month A single shave is
a cent, and the charge for hair cut-
ting i-i from i.' to I cents.
The barber is also tin* village sur-
geon. He performs the Needing,cup-
ping, and undertakes surgical oper-
ations It is he who bores the girls'
ears and noses for putting in rings.
Where there are no professional
matchmakers, tho barber acts as a
go between in marriages. No n li
gious rite can be performed without
the presence of the family barber
At the birth of a child the barbel"
carries the good news to the rela-
tives of thefamily. He plays an im-
portant part at a wedding, it being
his duty to dress the groom. • >11 tho
occasion of a funeral the barber
shaves the beads of the living ami
the dead. So great is his power and
