The Iiinerant Barber Of Persia.

A common sight in the streets Of Te-
hcran is the itinerant barber. The Koran
enjoins the masculine Mohamme,ian to
shave his crown. The Sunnees shave
the entire head excepting long lock in
the center whereby, it is said. tine
archangel may pluck them out of the
grave. But the Shealls or Persian Mussul-
mans shave from the forehead To the
nape of the neck. leaving nightly
priced lock on each side. Ii is. therefore,
common to see a man at the lower classes
seated on the pavement. going through
the operation of having his head shaved.
The remaining hair and the heard are
dyed, and it is rare that one sees gray
hairs in Teheran. The first tint applied
Is henna, an orange-yellow vegetable dye.
Many consider this 81 handsome AS to
prefer it without the further application
Of indigo which most select. The last
tint. combined with the henna. imparts a
durable and rather agreeable dark-brown
color to the hair.
The women also have their hair dyed
and join the eyebrows with the pencil.
All classes make use of the bath at least
once week, the wealthy having steam
baths attached to their dwellings. No
Christian is ever permitted admittance
to the baths of the Persians. The public
baths answer the purpose of clubs and
sewing circles: the women go in the
morning take their sewing with them.

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.

The anti Chinese movement in Dayton
is apparently on the decline, according
TO the ideas of those who wish it were
so, but in all probability it is on the
eve of taking new departure, as the
organizers Of the Knights of Labor have
visited this week a number Of towns
and cities in this State. Mr.. Calvin
Ewing, one Of the Oldest veterans in the
service on this Coast, paid this town a
visit last Tuesday, and it is generally
understood that when he is around there
is some work being done. Who knows
but what this organization may yet be-
come power in this State and be the
means of Kidding us of the Chinese
curse, and also from the odium which
attaches to US in the nostrils Of the
Nation as the "rotten borough"

Two or three weeks ago a wagon
was started to run from here to Carson
and take washing to the Carson Laundry.
The agent here says that SO far he has
but two patrons in this town. The OBJ
lection raised is that prices are too high.
Another thing that has been learned is
that since the anti.Chinese movement
started here the Chinese wash house has
been doing work for almost nothing.
The proprietors are in debt to almost
every business man here, and the only
way they can get paid is to give the
Cinnamon their washing. The Chinese
are doing the work for such low prices
that they cannot make living at it and
pay their debts. OF course it will

BEGINNING To THINK.

Senator Stanford is represented to
have said: ' | sometimes think that
the rich men of this country are resPon-
sible in great part for the present I'M
rest and dissatisfaction that exist among
the laboring classes" We are glad ii
that thought mas dawned at last upon
the Senator. We wish he had fallen
upon that line of reflection years ago.
He is very rich and he is making dis
position of his property which will in
sure his immortality. That is not only
commendable but it is something so en-
tirely magnificent that it is no wonder
that the world stands with hats Oft con-
templating it. But beyond and back OF
all that lies the stubborn fact that Sen
ator Stanford's fortune is greater than
any individual can honestly amasS in
this world through any means except
mining. We do not think the Senator
is directly responsible, because there
were two controlling brains in the cor
poration to which the Senator belongs
which are stronger than his. The re-
suit was that their roads were run on
plan of merely leaving their customers
a living, and the great power of the
corporation was used to break down all
who had the manhood to oppose the
company's co-actions and discrimina-
tions. Neither do we believe that, in
the past the Senator took deep interest
in his employees. He hired them at as
low rates as he could, worked them
long hours and, indeed, treated his To-
comotives better than his men, for when
a machine got out of repair he had it
sent to the shops and rebuilt. Ofcourse,
absorbed with the cares of mighty
business, he could not personally look
after the fortunes of all his hundreds of
employees, but he knew all the time
that each one had his own little world,
with hopes that were just as sweet as
his own, and with much more potent
fears, and he might have kept general
supervision over them, even as he had
one kept over his rolling stock. 1t is
not strange that now, with his heart
softened, he begins to think little on
the subject and to realize that maybe he
has all his life been neglecting eppor-
tuuities to do good and lessen the old
worlds heartaches.

THE PApAeos OF ARIZONA.

A Medicine Mans Failure to Cure a Chief
The Penalty He Paid.
was talking the other day with Capt.
Frank Cloud, now living in Arizona,
about the Indians out III that territory.
Said he:
1--WE have a race of Indians in Arr
iona called the Papagos. Time out of
mind they have lived at peace with the
whites, but in their battles with the other
Indians are fully the equal in pluck and
courage of the dreaded Apaches. Some
months ago, while temporarily residing
among them, became witness to one of
their customs, which, if practiced amonS
the whites, would have the effect of de
creasing a certain portion of our popula-
ton quite materially. One of their great
chiefs was stricken down with a fever.
The medicine man dosed him with herbs
and applied all the healing remedies
within his knowledge. Notwithstanding
his efforts the old man gradually grew
worse and finally died.
@The day following his burial noticed
an unusual connection about the camp.
all the men, women and children were
gathered together as if to perform some
great religious ceremony. There was an
air of solemnity about the scene that
justified this impression. The mystery
was explained when l saw the medicine
man, escorted by two young bucks,
march from his tent and take position
about fifty feet distant. At given sig
nal one of the young men raised his rifle
and, before could comprehend what
was taking place, fired bullet into the
medicine mans heart, killing him in
stantIy. then learned that it was the
the custom of these Indians where a
medicine man failed to cure one of the
sachems who died from causes other
than wounds received in battle that he
must suffer death as consequence of his
lack of skill"
1 asked Capt. Cloud how, under these
circumstances, they succeeded in finding
a person willing to accept such posi-
ton. He replied that the Office car
ried with it great many perquisites and
privileges that made it a very desirable
one. Moreover" he added, EVERY In
dian expects to die with his boots on
as they say out there, and as the post of
medicine man relieves them from the
necessity of bearing arms, the chances of
of death are no greater ON the one hand
than the other. They bear their fate phi
losophically, and have never heard of
an instance where an attempt was
made to evade it by seeking safety in
flight. Jules Guthridge in Chicago

Medical value of Tactical Diet.

The other day went to see an English
friend who had been suffering from a
sharp attack of gout. He was taken
with it here, on his way to Cannes, and
thought himself too i'll to recover. There
were twinges everywhere. Each essen
tial organ becomes in turn the seat of
the disease, and his spirits were depressed
and his brain fOggy. An ordinary doc
tor mildly suggested a tactical diet, but
as the patient hated milk, he refused to
accept this regimen.
A specialist was then called in. He
said, MEAT and wine-not excepting
Bordeaux-are, in your present state,
rank poison. You must take no tea,
coffee, or any other stimulant for ten
days. Your food is to be milk every
three hours. If you find it too heavy
mix it with Hauterive-V ichy. Vary it,
too, by having it mixed with onion or
leek soups, or with eggs done a la creme.
1 have had patients who were half suffo-
Gated with equity matter in their blood,
and others who thought their brans were
softening. This treatment cured them
in a short time. Milk is food in its most
perfect form, and should be regarded as
a staple ailment by old and young
