HINTS TO B4RBERS.

It is safe to say that nine out of ten of
the men one meets on the streets in our
cities shave, or rather are shaved.
Some shave the mustache, some shave
the chin, some the cheeks. Indeed,
one must go into mathematics to the
tables of permutations and combinations
to find how many varieties of shaving
are possible. Woman is accused of be-
ing the party who devotes her time to
appearances and frivolities of the mir
ror, but, after all, man does his share
of it.
And it is true that shaving is very
old custom, nor have we anything to
say against it, except that it is unnatu-
raj, and is, and should be acknowl-
edged to be, concession to the look
ing-glass and to vanity. But the point
is that, old as is the art, it is singular
thing how few know how to shave.
Nearly all men shave in the passive
voice" This may be taken as the gram
NAUTICAL phrase, or as an acknowledge
ment of the voice of the barber, which
they have to endure. Each signifca-
ton is true. And while nearly all men
consent to refer their shaving to few
who make it a business, only fraction
Of those few understand their art.
There is a financial blunder at the
bottom of it that makes trouble all
through. The dogma that shave is a
shave, is mistake. One man with a
stiff beard and full face will choose to
have his whole expansive countenance
clean shorn; another will shave only
his upper lip. To each it is "shave,"
and each is charged alike. One ma Y
require thirty minutes attention, the
other ten minutes. The first will dull
razor, the second not affect it's edge.
To each it is 10 cents.
Now, BARRIERS working-day, we will
assume, is ten hours long. If he is oc-
cupied three quarters of this time, he
must be buster than usually appears.
This gives him seven hours labor, and,
if he struck a day of half.hour faces,
his whole receipts would be $1.40. If
his luck gave him ten-minute cases, he
would take in $420. Even this would
not pay were it not for the seductive
side issues-the hair-cuts and shampoos
of the trade-that bring in more per
hour than the fundamental industry.
Now, as the price and circumstances
of shaving go, it is a constant hurry to
finish man, as shaving scarcely pays
at the best, and if he is one of the
most important subjects-fulI shave
and stiff beard-it is a loss to work
upon him. To shave him carefully
costs too much time and costs the edge
of the razor. To skim over his face,
cutting off sections of beard here and
there and leaving odd GASES Of hair
along the deserts of the cheek, saves the
razor and spoils the person who pays
for the operation, and who should not
be entirely forgotten. The scale of
prices ought to be regulated by what
one gets, and BARRIERS ought to have the
courage to charge for what they do

PEDIGREE OF COWS,

Pedigree is very essential element
in the value of COWS. But it is also
true and no. less important to know that
grade animals in a we'll managed dairy
can be made, as rule, quite as pro-
ductive as thoroughbreds, and often
more so. Yet this does not at all imply
that the latter can be dispensed with,
for we cannot have a good quality of
grades without a good strain of blood
to start from. While it is conceded
that pedigree is one of the factors in
tie value of good COW, it is not by
any means the only factor. Maximum
results in the dairy are not the sole
outcome OF any single condition. They
depend not merely on the capacity and
breed of the COW, but also and equally
CT the intelligence and good manage
of the owner; and, what is equally
true, but seldom considered, even the
capacity Of the COW is itself to large
extent the product of human skill

TyHET PJNCTUATI0N,W.AS INVENTED

EyEEET PUNCTU4TIONWAS INVENTED.
Printing had been in existence sew
eral years before any system of punctu-
alton was generally adopted. A
straight stroke passing obliquely
through the line generally indicated a
pause, and full point closed para
graph. A colon was occasionally intro
duced, and the "Lactantius, printed at
Subiaco, in 1865 (the first book printed
in Italy,, has full point, colon and
note of interrogation.
But improvements by one printer
were not followed by others, and it was
not until about the year 1470 that we
approach to the mode of punctuation
adopted at the present day.
The first book printed in France was
the "Liber Epistolarum" of Gasparinus
Barr zius, which was produced by three
Germans, Crlntz, Gering and Fret
burger, and contains the full point,
semicolon, comma, parenthesis, note
of interrogation and note of exclama-
ton. But the semicolon appears to
have more force than the full point,

EDITORIAL EXPRESSIONS.

An expression common in these days
of nominations is, while portion Of
the ticket is not such as we should have
nominated, we shall give it our hearty
support" This means that the editors
most bitter enemy, who will give the
printing to the other paper if he can, is
on the ticket, and the editor hopes that
the low-down reptile may be beaten out
of sight. In the case of distinguished
orators, the remark, "The Hon. Mr..
Blank was attacked with sudden in
disposition and did not speak" means
that the venerated statesman was too
drunk to hold his head up. The OBJ
servation means the same thing when
applied to the lights of the American
stage. 1--WE failed to catch the last
words of the speech" means that elo-
quence at the critical period was
drowned in "budge." 1--WE regret that
we have not space to publish the gen
tleman's eloquent effort in full" means
that, in the editors opinion, the speech
would have made O reflective mule leave
his oats, and that it would be all out
rage on the public to print it. eve

means that the newspaper man feels
happy in getting out of it this time, and
trusts that perdition may seize him if
he ever mentions the matter again.
In obituary notices, congestion of the
BRAIN" when applied to gen
tleman of easy views in regard to
drinks, means delirium tremens, and
she was his own worst enemy" means
that the deceased was drunkard, and
the worst enemy of the people who
loaned him money. "He had his faults /;
who of us had not? is an equivalent
expression. In regard to performances,
dramatic and otherwise, chose who
failed to be present missed a rich treat"
means that everybody failed" "'The
audience was small, but appreciative,
means that nobody was present except
the holders of complimentaries. "Owing
to the inclemency of the weather, the

been" means that nobody would have
been there had the sky been as clear as
crystal, and the "neighborhood been
famed by spicy breezes" that, accord
ing to the hymn-book, elbow softly DER
Ceylon's ISLE" In the way of dramatic
criticism, "Mr. Montgomery shows
some crudity and inexperience, which
will doubtless disappear with time and
study" means that Mr.. NJ. is hopeless
and irredeemable stick. Finally, "a
scandal in high life has been brought tc
our notice, of which we will have more
to say in few days" that means

BOYS IND GIRLS.

Why do more boys die than girls {?
For every 100 girls born into the
world there are 104 boys, and it used
to be imagined that the extra four boys
were supplied in order to meet the wear

the odd thing to which DIR. Biddle calls
attention in medical contemporary is
that the extra four per cent. of boys is
wiped out by death before they attain
the age of 5 years. Why is this
DIR. Biddle makes two suggestions
first, that the greater waste" of boys
may be due to their higher organism
and, secondly, that it may be @due to
the fact that our little boys are given

lect some favorable locality and dig
several little pits, in shape somewhat

grasshoppers are corraled in the pits or

after being mixed with pounded acorns,
and constitute one of the national
dishes. Grasshoppers are sometimes

For oh! my heart was wi the lad

For him that's over the sea.

But there is nocht to charm my heart
Like the lad over the sea.
An now I weary for the day
When he'll come back again;
For OH so long as he's away.

But when I think upon that day,
My heart is filed with glee,
When I get welded to the lad
That has game over the sea.

4 LIVE DEER LOCKED WITH 4 DEAD
ONE,

In Chesterfield county, Va, two
hunters ran upon two deer in swamp,
one with ten points and the other with
eight. For some cause or other, the
buck with eight points had killed the
one with ten points with one of its
prongs. The prong entered near the
eye and came out near the ear. By
some means the prongs of each of the
bucks became interlocked, and had evil
IDENTIFY been so for several days, as the
dead animal had been dragged con-
siderable distance, and had been killed
long enough to become offensive. The
live buck, which had undoubtedly suf-
fered for food, was in very poor and
emaciated condition, and was shot and
killed before the marksman could recog-
nize what it was in the dark.
