The area of the highs st barometer which
was on Saturday afternoon between Ohio and
the Blue Ridge, now extends from South Caro-
lima TO New Jersey. Clear with smoky haze
has prevailed very generally east OF the Mis-
sissippi river, but notheasterly winds with
cloudy weather are now reported from Florida.
The low pressure that was on Saturday north
of Nebraska has moved slowly sontheastward
and evidently extended to-day most rapidly to-
wards Wisconsin, but there is no telegrap hic
communication with that region. Southwest
erly winds have increased in force north aud
west OF the Ohio valley, and the temperature
is very high in Missouri aud Ohio. A dense
smoke prevailed on Lake Michigan and cloud v
aud threatening weather at the Rocky Noun.
lain stations.
Probabilites-The barometer will probably
fall on Monday along the Atlantic coast with
easterly winds and cloudy weather in the South
Atlantic States, and possibly rain on the At
lantio coast. rapid fall with southwest winds
is probable west of the Appalachee Noun
tains, with threatening weather and possible
rain ON the upper lakes westward Brisk winds
will probably prevail from Lake Ontario west
ward by Monday morning.

dwells q barber who, ever since the an.
pearanoe of Mark Twein's ESSAY on bar

imagination a real experience TO him.
His opportunity came on Wednesday af.

deaoribes the incident:
A gentleman present whispered to Jake

him. Selecting the dullest razor in the

sther-brush about an inch up his nose,
nd thence into both cara. poor Twain 10

his eyebrows and forehead shaved. Keep
still. SAYS Jake, I know my business. AT
t'r sospinQ him until he looked like an al
bino. Jake laid on the blade.
The frat stroke brought tears to
Twain's eyes. The second brought him

I say that razor's too dull to shave me
WITH 'Lay down. says Jake, thrustinR
him down into the chair again; that ra-

Twain groaned. and Jake pulled until
the beard was off and a good portion of
the skin with it. After shaving Jake pro-
ceeaed to wash him up, selecting the dirt

water In his eyes and nostrils, and then
wiped him off The spectators by THE
time were unable to control their laughter
and bsrst ont into loud peals In which
Jake heartily Joined. Twain saw the
joke but kept quiet. When Jake told
him his hair was coming out, and offered

Twain replied, well I rather want my

Mark, well I rather like that. If was

that would make my wife uneasy. As il
