BARRIERS and BARRIERS, Chairs.

From the baltimore AAasrtcdn.
The men who patroniZe barber shops in
the United States are not aware, perhaps,
that they enjoy a boon denied 10 their
brethren in other countries. The truth of
this statement was learned Yesterday
from Mr.. Emil Cage, the barber on North
Calvert street, who declared that, OF all
places on earth, the United States was the
best place TO get 4 clean, comfortable
shave. This compliment TO the barber
shops of the land OF the free was paid on
the strength OF the vast improvements
made in barbersl chairs. A comfortable
chair bears the same relation 10 a
barber shop that we'll
drawing stove does 70 the kitchen. The
pride OF barber shop is the chairs.
The barber may be skillful and swift; the
soap pure and fragrant; the brush easy
anu gentle; the towels clean and white;
but these, altogether could not atone for
the absence Of an easy chair. To the
United States belongs the credit Of
getting up barber chairs that are as easy
as a feather bed. Among the latest STYLES
OF chairs there are many diyersities.
There is winter chair and a summer
chair. Then there is the combination
chair, which possesses some OF the fea-
lures OF both. For summer use the latest
fashion Is a cane char. II is large and
rOomy and affords the greatest ease. A
person can reclIne In it with as much
comfort as on lounge. For winter use
there is the upholstered chair, which
is a perfect gem for comfort. The
combination chair is reversible, and
can be used in winter and summer.
The more fashionable BARRIERS, how
ever, do not advocate It's use, but prefer
separate chair for winter aud summer
use. Many men just step into a barber
shop TO get a little rest and the head
bathed. Then the easy chair acts like
charm. The easy chair has done much
for the barber. In America there Is more
shaving done at the barber shops than in
all the balance of the world. In France
the barber is engaged by the month, and
calls at the house Of the customer 10 ply
his craft. In England most OF the men
shave themselves. Nowhere IN Europe
can you find an easy and comfortable
barber shop. Americans find a great
deal OF trouble in getting good shave
abroad.

FEET FIVE INCHES LONG.
A Chinese Woman of Caste en- Route TO
Chicago

From the omaha Herald.
AS the Union Pacific depot Yesterday
morning, on the arrival OF the Ogden
overland" was seen that rarity Of
rarities-a Chinese woman OF high caste.
She was accompanied by her husband,
a Chicago merchant, who had established
himself in this country and returned to
the Celestial empire for his wife and fam
lily, boy OF and girl of 5. repOr.
ter, who rode over to the Bluffs with
them, received much valuable informa.
ton from them. The Chinese gentleman
explained that he had no difficulty in
landing at San Francisco from the Chi
nese law, rs he had provided himself with
a certificate before leaving for China, but
he had TO swear as to the character of his
wife and that he was not bringing her to
this country for purposes of prostitution,
as Chinese women OF the lower grades are
brought.
There" be said, "was the best certif-
cate | mad that my wiielwas respectable"
pointing to her small feet. THE officials
OF san Francisco know that only women
of caste have small feet" s#
This attracted the reporters attention
to the woman, who was attired in the
regular cut costume peculiar to the
Mongols, kthe material, though, being of
fine Chinese silk, the gown having large,
flowing sleeves, and the panta oons as
wide as flour sacks. Her feet, which
were encased in sandals of the regular
Celestial style and cut, where only five
inches IN length, and seemed incapacitat-
ed from properly bearing her in walking,
her movements conveying the idea that
she suffered eXcruclatlng pain at every
step. Her husband explained that in
order to make her small footed her feet
had been kept tightly bandaged from in
fancy, causing the toes to grow under the
soles of the feet. He added that it was
an awful torture which he would not put
upon his children. And it should be re-
marked in passing that he was a very in
blligent Mongol, who seemed to have
idapted himself to Western civilization
and even mastered the language, includ-
hg the consonant ''r,"
He further stated that his wife was a
years Of age, that he was married to her
ten years ago, but that he did not see her
Until nearly two years after the mar
riage, their parents having arranged the
nu5tials for them. He said they did not
exbect to return to China, but would rear
ami educate their children in American
ways. Necessarily the interview was
SHIRT, but it was instructive and enter
tanning while it lasted, as it gave the re-
pGter a better idea of the Chinese then
ht had obtained from. the individual who
p'esides over the destinies of his linen and
rsfuses to let him ingratiate himself sufii-
IDENTITY to stand him of. Inquiry among the
local Chinese" discIoses the information
that there are not over twenty high-caste
Chinese women in this country.

The other passengers, becoming ac-
quainted with he fact Ct the mans
solyency, undertook to get on his blind
side, but be manifested interest chiefly in
the man who had the quinine pills. When
they got TO Liverpool he said to this man:
''Unless you areln hurry, you had bet

meeting at Bath With Jay Gould, and you
may hear something TO your advantage if

So the director went of to Bath and saw
Jay Gould, and when he came back he
said to his friend: "Now, you 20 and buy

boom it up. | have seen Gould, and an
upward movement is going 10 take place"
So the man cabled TO New York and
bought Union Paoidc, and made $40, 900.
The next time, however, that he met his
peculiar friend was in New York city,
and he found that he was as cold
as a fish. Having discharged the
small obligation of tle quinne pills, he
was in no mood to give any more points
away.

Last spring an Indiana man started
bank in a town in Dakota, and about the
1st of October, having secured deposits
to the extent of $23, 900, q notice was one
morning posted on the doors of the bank
reading:
Temporarily closed Hope to pay de-
positors in full"
The banker wanted to test the temper
of the public previous to big scoop. In
the course of half an hour the doors were
kicked in, the office gutted, the banker
stepped on until he was seventeen feet
long and only two inches thick, and the
chap who held a revolver to his ear jovi-
ally remarked:
Now then, my friend, we give you
just five minutes to unlock that safe and
count out the slugs to depositors in full. 5"
Depositors were paid in full and the
banker has come east in search of more
civil people.

There died recently in Boston a Grip
pie whose case attracted the attention of
physicians, scientists and specialists, all
over the country. This man for twenty
nine years had not moved from his chair
by day or night. When he was six
years old his spine was injured by an &C
cident, and his neck, body and limbs be-
came paralyzed. He could not move a
joint in them. All his fingers became
disjointed, and the only movable joint
in his frame was one thumb. He could
not turn his head hairsbreadth. He
sat in his chair near a window, and by
an ingenious contrivance of mirrors he
was enabled to see what was going on
out of doors and in the room.
At night his chair was tipped back
little. and in this position he got his
sleep. Amy attempt on his part to move
his limbs caused him the greatest agony
He suffered pain nearly ali the time, and
Everybody wonders how he lived so long
in this horrible condition. Many promi-
nent physicians studied his case and gave
it up as unaccountahle.
He was so remarkably patient and de
vout in the midst of his sufferings that
he won notice by serving as a text from
which large number of sermons have
been preached by different clergymen
who had visited him. He was forty-sev-
en- years old. A young sister of his de-
voted her life to taking care of him.
