where BARRIERS Wax Fat.


The barber trade is one of the most
important in Persia. The Koran makes
it honorable for a man to wear beard,
but commands the shaving of the head.
There are two great sects among these
who accept the Mahometan faith. the
Sheas and the Sunnees. The latter are
all Turks and they shave the. whole
crown, excepting a tuft in the center by
which the archangel may draw them out
of the grave.
But the Persians are Sheas, and they
shave the center of the head, from the
forehead to the neck, leaving a long curl
on each side 1t is curious to see even
little boys with their heads thus
polished The Iersians consider it great
disgrace to lose their side curls. AS they
all wear turbans, or black, conical caps
of Astrakhan lambskin, no one would
suspect the head to be shaved until the
cap is taken Off Then, indeed the ap-
pearance of the head is exceedingly gro
tesque 1t is evident that the care of the
hair is a very important question in
Persia. But this is not ALL
One rarely sees gray beard or gray
locks in Teheran Even the most veneer
able men have dark or red hair The rea-
son is because all, from the highest to the
lowest, dye their hair. Even the tails and
names of the horses are sometimes tinged
with henna. Those of the royal stables
are dyed beautiful rose color. The use
of red for curtains, awnings and umbrel-
las is forbidden. 1t is color reserved in
such cases for the palace and the king
alone.

PACIFIC COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER, sEPTEMBER 8 1885.

EDITH received an invitation to Visit an
aunt in a small Vermont village, few
weeks after Annals arrival and made her
preparations for departure at once Anna
was not needed, and would be more useful
at home, and so she was left behind.
The present visit extended over two
months, and as Edith entered her home
again. she felt as if she had come into an
atmosphere of brooding storm. Her
mother met her at the door with an anx-
ious face.
Mamma, what is the matter?" Edith
asked in alarm. as any one i'll or dead7 !"
" It is something almost worse, Edith,
said her mother, sadly. "Anna was mar
ried secretly to Hans Steen yesterday, just
a week before he was to have married
Johanne. Our poor Johanne is almost
broken-hearted to think that her sister,
whom she loved so dearly, and her own
lover, could be so false to her
1t is shameful, cried Edith, lndlg-
nantly My poor Johanne!"
Anna does not seem to realize that she
has done anything out of the way; always
protesting that she likes him, and had
right to do as she pleased She had not
the slightest idea of the meaning of duty,
and I don't think she is at all capable of
understanding the wealth of love JOhanne
has lavished upon her; and Hans is
great deal worse / would discharge him,
but I know he could not find another
place easily, and Johanna begs me not to
do So ="
.Johanne would not hear word against
sister Anna or Hans.
"Dey lofes each odder, she said, with
a wistful expression in her gray eyes.
Dat is der reason Lofe is everything
an all's fair in lofe, you know.
Poor JOhanne!

My Boy, Do You Smoke?

The United States Navy annually
takes into its service large number
of apprentice boys, who are sent all
over the world and taught 70 be
thorough sailors. 1t has been the
policy of the government since the
war to educate the "blue jacket" up
on the principle that the more intelli-
gent man is, the better sailor he is
likely to become There ls no lack of
candidates for these positions. Hun
dreds apply, but are rejected because
they cannot pass the physical examina'
ton. Major Houston, one of the
Marine Corps who is in charge of the
Washington Navy Yard barracks, is
the authority for the statement that
one fifth of all the boys examined are
rejected on account of heart disease.
His first question to a boy who
desired to enlist is: "Do you smoker
The invarible response is, "No, Sir, "
but the tell-tale discoloration of the
fingers at once shows the truth. The
surgeons say that cigarette smoking
by boys produces heart disease, and
in ninty-nine cases out of a hundred
the rejection of would be apprentices
on account of this defect comes from
excessive use of the milder form the
weed. This is remarkable state
ment, coming, as it does, from SO high
an authority and based upon the re-
suits of actual experiment going on
day after day, and month after month.
1t should be warning to parents that
the deadly cigarette is sure to bring
about incalculable injury to the young.
A law passed restricting its use to the
dudes would not, perhaps, bring popu.
lar disfavor, because it might reduce
the number of these objects about our
streets, but boys indulging in the
cigarette ought to be treated to liberal
dose of "rod in pickle until the habit
is thoroughly eradicated. Scientific
