The Flee trical journal j..

Electricity is the most interest.
ing and instructive study today. Its
field is continually widening. Its
subtle, mysterious power is made
use of in channels that ten years
ago had never been dreamed of by
the most fertile Imagination. No
one can be found rash enough to
predict what electricity will be do
ing for us ten years hence. The
telegraph, the telephone, the cleo
trio light came in rapid succession,
each attaining a success unrivalled
in the history of inventions. The
Electrical Review, an illustrated
weekly journal, published at %
Park Row, New York City, is the
acknowledged leader in the world
of electrical science. 1t embraces
all that is of value and of interest
to the worker and the student in
this field, and is the medium
through which is obtained the most
comprehensive aud latest informa-
ton concerning all electrical mat
ters. Edited with care, its editor
ial opinion is reliable and its news
columns brig ht and instructive. In
typographical beauty the paper is
second to none. The subscription
price is So per year single copy

Magee drew fourth his pocket
book and counted out the amount
in crisp gold notes.
Sweeny rolled up the wad with
out counting it, for he knew that
it was all right. He stuffed this
in his pocket, and then Magee
made a motion with his thumb for
Sweeny to get out from behind the
bar.
He walked out, Magee got inside,
took off his hat and invited Sweeny
to take drink.
Sweeny took glass of cham
payne.
Magee sent colored man over

Reaching the silver Standard

Reaching the silver Standard
New York, May 19,-The Sun
predicts that by the LIST of August
or September Secretary Manning
viii! have to choose between trench
ing upon his pet hundred million
dollar gold reserve and the payment
of the interest on the public debt
and of the ordinary government
expenses in silver dollars The
probability is he will adopt the lat
ter alternative. His example will
necessarily be followed by the
banks and by the people. Green
backs themselves will soon have to
be redeemed in silver, and we shall
witness at last the much dreaded
supremacy Of the silver standard.
1t will not cause financial panic
nor a collapse in business. On the
contrary, judging by the results of
the suspension of gold payments,
it is much more likely to revive in
dustry and stimulate speculation.

A BARRIERS JOURNAL.
A Much Abused Class Defended

A Mach Abused Class Defended
| We have often wondered why
the BARRIERS, who arc a newsy talk.
ative people, have never started an
organ of their own.
The APPEAL has on its exchange
table, the first number of THE Bar
bers' Gazette, an American journal
devoted to tonsorial art. It is GER
tainly litarary gem, and only car
| ries out the excellent opinion We
| have always had of the keen liter
| airy ability of the BARRIERS.
Its typographical appearance is
perfect, ond it is literally sprinkled
with really good illustrations.
There is poetry, keen wit: sage and
philosophical argument, and in fact
all that goes to make up a good pa
per.
How many Of us who curse
those blasted barbers,' will admit
when closely questioned, that some
of the happiest hours of life have
been spent in the half dreamy OBJ
liyion Of barber s chair.
This chair is the only mechani-
cal contriyance ever invented, that
gives complete rest to the head and
body. The carriage seats jam the
middle Of your back, and the car
seats break the back Of your head;
but one forgets all these discom-
forts under the somnolent infuen-
ces of the BARRIERS chair. The cool
lather, the delicate manipulation,
the pereeumed spray, and aboye all,
tina ceaseless chat of the BARRIERS
voice, like the fall of rivulet down
messy rocks, all tend to make one
forget the Canadian rebellion, the
Soudan war, the break in Norcross
and the dreadful Sharon suit.
Our troubles in debts are obliter-
ated along with our stubby whis-
kers and dirt, and while we feel at
peace with all the world, the rest
and recuperation of the shave
makes US feel as elastic as Apollo
and as beligerent as Mars.
Men talk patronizingly to bar
bers, but the latter are generally a |
match for the sharpest.
1t does not pay the cheap wit to |
cross conclusions with Cuhna, or to |
fool with James. Cuhna is cram
med with wise sense like the horse,
and James IS cunning politician,
who knows the P's and Q's Of other
more subtle calliDgs than is repre-
sented by the flashing blade, and
plays chess like native Persian.
There is little Vierra who is as
sharp as a weazel; and Borges, the
certain rife shot. OF course, we
Know BARRIERS who will scratch
mans head in FORTY different
places, and never hit the place
where it itches, but this is a minor
fault; no man is perfect. Without
the BARRIERS to pour bay rum over
our heads, and philosophy into our
ears, Carson would be second
rate town like Reno.
