Justice Field. of the United States
Supreme Court. says he travels 5000
miles year in attending to his official
duties. HIS travelling expenses amount
to more than $1,000 year when he
goes alone, and to more than 81, 900 a
year when his wife accompanies him;
and the Judges alone, of high Gov
eminent officers, have to pay their own
travelling expenses, which he freely de-
clares he considers to be an outrage.
OF course passes are. offered to him
every year, but he always declines
them.-N Y. Times.

"Hair-singeing, twenty-five cents, u
he somewhat novel sign displayed in
the window Of South Broad Street
barber-shop, and. attracted by the
curious notice, reporter last evening
entered the establishment to ascertain
what new phase of the tonsorial art
hair-singeing was. The interior of the
shop was decorated with half dozen
more of the signs, and two knights of
the razor and colored boy famed
themselves and waited for customers.
The reporter had just made known
his errand when two youths. of
the variety known as coughs"
entered, and one of them. not
withstanding the lavish display Of
signs, inquired If ssthis here's the place
where the Teller was wot burned yer
hairoff?' Being assured he had reached
the right place. the youth asked if it
''hurt yer," and when the barber said
it was painless operation, seated him.
self in one of the chairs and told the
barber to s'bring on yer blaze and do it
upin style;" he added that he wanted 3
s.reg'lar summer cut, short all over"
The first step taken by the barber was
to cut the youths hair in the regular
way with the scissors, and this being
finished the act of smuggling began.
Taking long wax taper, such as are
used in any household, he lighted it from
a basc-burner, and with comb lifted
what remained of the young mans
hair into ridges. the tops of which he
deity burned of by applying the burn
ing taper, until halo of smoke en-
circled his head and faint odor Of
toasted wool ioated about the room and
out into the sultry night. With great
skill he soon had the entire top, back
and sides of the youths head COM
pletely singed, that worthy in the mean
time staring ut the operation as reflected
in the looking-glass, and momentarily
exclaiming: "Well, I'll be blamed.n
His companion was similarly impressed,
and made constant remarks of q like
nature. When the youths head had
been sufficiently toasted to suit the
BARRIERS artistic eye, the taper was put
ont and the customer requested to step
down to the wash-basin, where his head
was thoroughly washed, to clear away
the ''ashes" that remained at the end
Of each hair, and when that operation
was finished the youth gazed in the
glass at as beautifully clipped Uranium
as ever left barber-shop. Paying his
quarter, and remarking that it wasn't
such bad racket, after all" the young
man gave a parting glance of approval
in the mirror and with his companion
departed. ssThis is the only place in
this country where you can get q regu-
lar 'singe, >" said the barber, after the
youths had gone. s'but it's a pretty
common thing in England and Europe,
and in Canada, too, l believe" In
conclusion, he stated that it was said to
be capital thing for the hair, and
would cause it to flourish like a corn
field after summer shower; but he
added, in conclusion: ut amt any
good for bald-headed men for they
haven't any hair to be braced up

The prohibition of the importation of
American pork by the German Govern
ment, on account of the alleged pres
ence of the microscopic worm known
as trichin9 has awakened a large de-
gree of interest among pork raisers and
shippers in this country. That trichine
are sometimes found in pork (and in
some other food fiesh) is not to be
doubted. That proper cooking of meats
for food destroys them is unquestion-
able. That all authenticated cases of
injury to health arising from the pres
ence of this microscopic worm were
traced to the eating of uncooked or half
raw meat is fact. But that the sailing
of meat destroyed the parasite is still a
matter of doubt, or, at least, it is a sub.
iect of dispute.
On this point United States Consul
John Wilson, stationed at Brussels,
makes some statements, based ON his
own observations. He says:
II have myself been present when
officially appointed microscopes at
some of the abattoirs of this country
have been engaged in examining Ameri-
can pork for trichina, and have been
invited by these gentlemen to see for
myself, through their microscopes, the
peculiar cell and spiral coil Of the ami
NAL; but on carefully examining them
/ have only observed, blended with the
tissue and minute salt crystals, the en-
tombed animal, evidently as destitute
of life as the structure in which it was
embedded.
g 1t Is claimed by most trichinic OBJ
servers that the process of generation
and birth of this little animal Invariably
takes place in the stomach and intesti-
nal canal, and that within . few days
from its birth it has 50 matured as to
penetrate the walls Of the intestines and
rapidly make its way through the vari-
Gus intervening structures to the remote
muscular tissue of the animal it infects,
there to be speedily encysted and en-
dowed with subsequent dormant ex-
istence of several years, during which
time its presence occasions little or no
inconvenience. OF this theory of the
life and movements of this little worm
/ can only say that it involves an almost
unparalleled exception to the law gen.
orally regarded as determining animal
life, and ought not to be accepted but
upon the most positive proof. The law
governing parasitic existence in living
tissue usually involves the speedy death
Of the parasite after the pabulum upon
which it feeds has passed from under
the domain of vital force; hence, unless
this tiny worm constitutes an exception
to this law, its life must be short after
the organic structure upon which il
feeds has ceased to live.
Consul Wilson very pertinently adds
that III salt really kills trichine. and
of it 1 have scarcely doubt, it is evil
IDENTIFY an injustice on the part Of foreign
governments to lay an embargo on our
pork product, which, of all others. in
order to secure it against decomposition
on long journey to foreign markets,
is better sailed than that of any other
country. ~ Scientific american.

AS we emerged from the woods, we
we're persuaded that now at last we
were to go into battle. And so, indeed,
it seemed, as the long column halted in
corn-field short distance from the
river, and the pontoon trains came up,
and the pioneers were sent forward to
help lay the bridge, and signal flags
began flying. and officers and orderlies
began to gallop gayly over the field
of course we were now about to go into
tpur first battle.
yHah!" suddenly exclaimed Andy,
look there!''
Looking in the direction Andy was
pointing, is, away to the skirt of
the woods in our rear-I beheld a bat
terry of artillery coming up at full gal
lop toward us, and making for the
river.
As the bsttery came near the spot
where we were standing, and could be
plainly seen, cried:
why, Andy! Don't you seep They
are wooden logs covered over with black
gum blankets and mounted on the front
wheels ofwag0ns, and--as sure as you're
alive, it's our Quartermaster on his gray
horse in command of the battery!''
well, 1 declarer' said Andy, with a
look of mingled surprise and disap-
pointmcnt.
There was no disputing the fact.
Dummies they were, those cannon which
Andy had SO exultingly declared were
to drive the Johnnies through the brush.
And We began at once to suspect that
the whole mud-march was only q mis-
cradle ruse or feint of war, got up ex-
pressly for the purpose Of deceiving the
enemy, SO that there wasn'tgoing to be
any battle after all! Such indeed, as
we learned later, was the true state Of
the case. But, nevertheless, the pioneers
went on putting down the pontoon boats
for bridge, and our gallant Quarter
master, on his bob-tail gray. with drawn
sword, and shouting out his commands
like Major General, swept by us with
his battery of wooden guns, and away
out into the field like . whirlwind, APP
parently bent on the most bloody work
imaginable. Now the battery would
dash up and unlimber and get into po-
sition here; then after an imaginary dis
comtiture Of the enemy ut this point,
away it would dash on Q gallop across
the field and 60 into position there,
while the Quartermaster would swing
his sword and shout himself hoarse as
If in the very crisis of the battle.
II was, then, alas! all ruse, and
there would be no battle after all. About
nine o'clock that night we were all with
drawn from the riverside under cover
of darkness. and bivouacked in the
woods to our rear, where we were or
dered to make as many and as large
fires as we could, so IS to attract the
enemy's attention, and make him be-
lieve that the whole army of the Poto-
mae was concentrating at that point;
whereas, the truth was that, instead Of
making any movement thirty miles be-
loo Fredericksburg, the Union army.
