Lady BARRIERS.

hat Mrs. Gettmann Knows of Shaving.
s'And SO you employ lady artists, +"
said reporter, dropping into Fifth
street shaving saloon the other after
noon.
YES" said the accomplished pro-
fessional, stepping forward, and quite
at your service, sir"
The professional aforesaid is the
equal, if not the better half, of the es-
tablishment, and is able to shave or
elk up'' long haired customer as
neatly and with as happy dispatch as
her liege lord, any day.
''HoW do you succeed in your efforts
to procure lady apprentices in the bust
ness?'
VERY well, indeed said the lady
half of the tonsorial firm. 81 had a
lady barber working with me during
some five or six weeks past, and she
got to be able to shave gentleman as
well almost as | could do, or as my
husband yonder. She left a few days
ago, and this young woman" said she,
pointing to q buXom lass present, ''has
been here but four or five days, but
last evening she shaved fifteen persons,
and gave very excellent satisfaction to
all so far as I heard them say
''You think she can learn thenP'
s'Why not learned, and asked no
odds of any man to shave a customer,
however particular or fine he may be in
his notions"
EWhat can woman earn per day or

at it for fifteen years-shaved in CleVe-
land some years, went from there to
Detroit, and owing to my husband 5
sickness we had to leave and come here
to Cincinnati"
Yes" said her husband, breaking
into the conversation at this point, ''my
wife has conducted my shop as efficient
ly as I could myself for six weeks at a
time, when l have been incapacitated
by sickness from attending to it my
SELF
care there any other shops in Gin
cinnat; except this where ladies oper-
ate?''
mo, this is the only one, but there
are lady operators in shops in Detroit,
Philadelphia, Boston and New York"
How long will it take to teach your
lady pupil to do good and efficient
work?'
'.She ought in six weeks or two
months to shave man first-rate. At
the rate she is learning I can make an
artist of her in that time.

What an Albany Man Said.

One of the lumber dealers in this
State says the Detroit Free Press has
for the past three years been supplying
a dealer ut Albany. For the first year
everything went well, but at length the
Albany man began to complain. He
found shortage and culls in every car
load sent him and demanded discounts
therefor, and this spring it was impos-
sible to please him. No matter how
carefully lumber and shingles were
cuIied and billed here, he was sure to
write back that they were not up to the
standard. Two weeks ago carload
of STAR shingles was sent him. The
ssstar'' shingle beats anything made in
the country, and they know it at Albany
rs we'll as in Michigan, but as soon as
the car arrived the dealer replied that
he really must protest. The shingles
were hardly s'clear butts" and he
could not unload the car until assured
of discount of twenty-five cents per
thousand.
The Michigander had suffered long,
but the end was nigh. He had inspected
every bunch of shingles ON the ear. and
he made up his mind to go to Albany
and inspect them over again. The
dealer there had never seen him, and
the w OlVer1ne Watkcu fnbC us ONCE as
a would-be purchaser of some extra fine
shingles.
give got exactly what you want, :"
promptly replied the Albanian. I've
got car load of Michigan stars out
here which lay over any single you
ever saw
care they all perfect"
Every one of them"

bunchesp"
I'm eat every Gull you find. I got
them from a Michigander who is as
straight as the Ten Commandments
and he has never yet sent me stick of
second-class stuff. Come and see 'em. "
The Wolverine quietly pulled out his
business card and laid it on the desk.
The dealer took it up, read the name,
and sat down on a stool with queer
feeling in his knees.
There was an awful silence as they
glared at each other, and it was full
minute before the victim slowly ex-
tended his hand and hoarsely whis-
pered:

How to get a Full Milk Pail.

We assume that the COW is properly
fed. Lacking this condition, no COW
can milk as she ought, says the London
Lire Stock Journal. But careful feed
ing seems to have but little influence on
the milking properties of some COWS !;
they lay on flesh instead. Yet, as they
have first of all to live before they can
think of giving much milk, or in fact
any milk at all worth speaking of, and
as about two-thirds of the food they
have an appetite for goes to sustain the
offices of life, it is clear that under
feeding will not lead to profit. This
is a proposition well enough estab-
lished, and it appeals alike to our judg-
ment and interest. Yet, after all, breed
is of the first Importance, because with
out it good feeding is of small effect on
the milk pail; but, if we have both
breed and feed, the pail viii overflow
if we let it. Breed, then, is first; food,
next then good milking By hand, kind
treatment, shelter from the storm, and
all that.

and seventeenth centuries were re-
newned especially for their skill in what
is known as applique work. Very
much of this was done in converts.
Two fabrics were selected, as, for ex-
ample, velvet and silk. and the same
pattern, usually a conventional one,
was traced upon each, and then care
fully cut out. The two were then care
fully laid one upon the other, and the
edges concealed by use of fine cord
or silk, or worked over in buttonhole
stitch. This style of work was very
much in demand in the decoration of
churches. and some of the old Milan
csc work is very beautiful, tho selec-
ton and arranging of colors giving

A man was found lying unconscious
under tree the other day. with three
ribs broken and n severe cash in his
left cheek. In his pocket was found
little book entitled How to Avoid Ac-
cidents. add What to De when They
Occur The injured man evidently
forgot that he had the timely little vol
ume about him.
A few years ago, when Dr. Dio Lewis
was the rage, he said that people who
ate tomatoes would lose their teeth.
There are many people who are fond
of a raw tomato, but who cannot eat
one with oil and vinegar. The acid of
the tomato minoles very nicely with
fine sugar and little salt, and is said
not to be disagreeable in small guam
titles to people who suffer from indi-
gestion.
In some parts of New York the time
of one servant is pretty well occupied
in answering the door-bell for pedlers,
beggars and rag-buyers. In vain are
ragmen requested never to call again.
They impudently answer that they are
upon their own business, and that they
will ring as frequently as they please.
Men and women with door-mats, dust
ers and buttons, when told that they
need never again call with their
wares, will return in half an hour to
ask the servant whether the people
of the house have not changed their
minds.
A good many people wonder how it
is that they see sticky fiy-paper, in drug
store windows, covered so completely
with dead flies that there does not seem
to be room for another fly, and If they
buy the paper and take it home where
flies are as thick as three in bed, they
can't get dozen flies on the sheet of
paper in a week. The fact is that the
druggists land we have this from one of
them in perscn) employ boys to catch
flies and stick them on the paper.
Some BOYS make as high as 81. so a day
catching flies for druggists, and in
some localities these BOYS have almost
taken the last fly in the houses.

Our County JaiIs.

The county iails in many of the counties
are disgrace to our civilization. The best
description Of them would make humanity
shudder. The county Jail in Greeneville, is
built over pit that contains the excrement
of the prisoners that has been lodged there
for years. The fetid air that arises from
this vast deposite Of human filth, is what
the prisoners have to breathe. 1t is a
horror to think of such loathsome place to
lodge one of our fellow-creatures in. We
have eleven churches in sight of this human
pestilential dwelling.
Christianity bushes, humanity hides its
face at the thought and our worshipful
county court, with the full knowledge of al
the facts, meet quarter after quarter, in full
board, and allow this burning disgrace to
remain as a monument of what some of the
members are pleased to call economy.
The Jail has long been unsafe. The
prisoners are constantly breaking out.
give this timely notice to the officers 81
the United States Court that this jail il
neither fit or safe place to send their pris
| oners, and if they send prisoners here witt
the full knowledge of these facts, they err
! culpable for so doing. HUMANITY.
