THE TRAVELLING CURE.-Three years ago
when travelling In America, one morning,
at little station-we were approaching
the Rocky mountsins-I was astonished to
see "a very old and venerable French curein
his usual garb enter the car, and as be was
evidently in some distress Of mind, and ss
evidently had little command Of English,
asked him in his native language il l could
be OF any service to him. There was diff
Gcnlty about box which l soon settled,
and then we sat down and entered into
conversation. He soon found out that l
was very much astonished TO see him there
and told me So | acknowledged il. cit
is very simple" he said. g / am very old,
and six months ago was like TO die, and
was doing my best to prepare myself for
the long journey. In my faneies I imag-
ined myself already in the presence of Ie
bon Dieu, and | fsncied this question ad-
dressed to me: NJ. lie cure, how did you
like the beautiful world you have left ? /
rose in my bed as this thought came into my
head, for II who-hgure to yourself
had dared TO preach of better world for
fifty years, was, oh so ignorant of this.
Aud registered vow that if L bon Dieir
allowed me to rise from that bed OF sickness
would spend the rest of my life in admi-

my journey round the world I am going

ORIGIN OF TIE BARBER POLE.

In the records Of the English Parliament
for the last century we read that Lord
Thurlow, when he opposed the Surgeons
Incorporation bill in the House OF Peers,
on July II, 1897. stated that, by statute
still in force, the BARRIERS and surgeons were
each to use pole. The BARRIERS were to
have theirs blue and white striped, with
no other eppendsge; bus the surgeons,
which were the same in other respects,
were likewise to have gallipot and red
rag TO denote the particular nature of their
vocation. The origin of the BARRIERS poles
is to be traced TO the period when tho bar
bers were also surgeons, and pracsiced
bleeding. To assist this operation il became
necessary for the patient TO grasp a staff
stick or pole was always kept by the
barber-surgeon, together with the fillet or
bandage ne used for tying the patients
arm. When the pole was not in use, the
tape was tiedto it, that they might be both
together when wanted. On person COM
ing to be bled, the tape was disengaged
from the pole and bound round the arm,
and the pole was put into the PERSONS
hand. After the operation was concluded
the tape was again tied upon the pole, and
the pole and tape were often hung at the
door for sign or notice to psssers by that
they might there be bled. Doubtless the
competition for custom was great, for our
ancestors believed thoroughly in bleeding,
and they demanded the operation frequenE-
ly. At length, instead Of hanging out the
identical pole used ia the operation, pole
was painted with stripes around it, in imi-
tatiou of the real pole and bsndage, and
thus came the sign. That the use Of the
pole in bleeding was very ancient appears
from an illumination IN : missal in the time
of Edward I. In other ancient volumes
there are engravings of the like practice.
Such staff, says Brand, who mentions
these graphic illusicrs, "is to this very
day put into the hands of patients under
going phlebotomy, by every village practi-
tiouer."

AGRICULTURE IN COLORADO The agri-
cultural estimates of Colorado add l25, 900
acres TO the productive area of the State
for 1888, writes a correspondent. This is
due to reclamation Of barren uDlands of no
actual value and substituting an equal
acreage of land insured against drought and
assured OF perennial crops forever. This
transformation has been effected by canals
OF irrigation, husbanding mo1ntail streams
in reservoirs and spreading their waters
over the land. Calitorn.s adds to this
years. agricultural capacity four times as
much land, and the extension of the System.
now IN progress will add as much more to
next yea-'s capacity. Nearly every acre
has special excellence for wine and raisin.
grapes, for fruits Of every kind, for peren-
NAL pastures, for all the cereals, for hops,
for cotton and for silk. How it would en-
rich the South TO study artificial irrigation
and systcmetize its applications as we are
doing, making the moet repuisivs barrens
richer in wealth OF perennial production
than our great ailu7ipi ulairs It would

my means other than bringing the question

any means other than bringing the question
to a speedy and effectual adjustment. Speak
ing in regard to the Presidential contest OF
1884, he said the most prominent Republican
candidates were Senator Edmunds, John
Sherman, Justice Miller, John A. Lo-
gen, Ben. Harrison, Blaine as pos
sible compromise candidate, and fnsly
General Grant. The latter secmed TO
be the most popular, and could be safely
counted on as developing remarkable strength.
Grants popularity is not on the wsne. as il
supposed. but on the contrary he would loom
upss powerful csmpaigner. He is a man
who says little, but that little carries great
weight, and forces conviction. Though Grant
might not desire the nomination, his friends
would insist. All the Republicans have TO do
Is TO nominate conservative man and vic
tory is assured, despite the recent Democratic
sweep. He alluded briefly to the cause of
their victories, saying they were attributable
TO the disgust of the people fer .'bossism, as
manifested by tae Csmerens Of fPsnngylvsnis,
and by local squsb5ler.

Who bears that burden well and lives.
It may be hard to gain, and still

A harder and truer part.
Glorious it is to wear the crown
OF a deserved and pure success:
He who knows how to fail has won
A crown whose luster is not less.
Great may he be who can command

story. 1t seems she had an engagement to

young man who was waiting upon her. lie

man, who was stranger to herself, called

walk back home, however. One OF the
men accused Is married, the
other single. lie quit town on learning
the warrant had been issued. The young
woman Is bright and rather pretty, and has
always borne an excellent reputation. The
fact that she told no one OF the crime until
two days afterward Is commented upon
rather unfavorably, but she proposes to be
able to establish the charge.
