The Rnrhers, Saint.

BARRIERS have Il saint as we'll as other
people. In France their patron is st.
Louis, and the annual fcte day is the 2Jth
of August. BARRIERS have always been
an important element in France, but fra
ternity i'll other countries may probably
also sport Il saint. "Tondor" was the
name given to the original members of
the profession in France-a name now re-
served 10 the dog barber. Then they were
called ''fraters,' - and soon after became
the barber-chirurgeons. With Louis
XIV came the reign of periwigs, and Il
corporation of p~crruquiers was formed,
The two lived peacefully together and had
their corporations and rules. The APP
pearauce of the modern coifTures made
them unite against the intruder who
thus broke in on their professional and
established rights which We're recognized
by Law. The coifTeurs were allowed to
continue, and in their Clee ~pompOusly
designated themselves A~cademicians de
In mode ct de In coiffcur." The French
academy, jealous probably of the rival
acadcmicians, objected to this designa-
ton, and the coitfcurS were obliged to be
content with plain professor before their
names. Chicago Times.

them built together. Here the bath
houses are all on wheels, and each bather has
q house to himself. The bathing cabs each
consist Of q little, Oblong, bOX-lke room with
sset Of steps leading up into it. This room is
about four feet wide by six high. 1t has a
ssat, q lo~oking-glaSs and some towels inside Of
it, and it rests upon twp wheels. When one
wants to take a bath be pays the keeper from
twenty to thirty cents, climbs in and shuts
Che door, a horse is then attached to it and it
is dragged out into the shallow water at the
edge Of the beach. The bather undreSses at
his leisure, and putting on his bathing dress

he wishes, dives of into it st Scheveningen
the womsn's cabs were stationed at the north
end of the beach, and those Of the men per-
haps COO feet away, at the south end. In
some cases they bathed together. There is
not, however, the lying about in the sand in
bathing clothing 5 in America, and there
seemed to me rather more of q spirit Of pro-
priety about the crowd than about that of an
American seaside resort.
Instead Of sitting and lying on the sand as
we do, these people have great. basket chairs,
which are carried to the beach and rented.
There were, perhaps, 1000 Of these sitting

Each chair is about four feet high, and two
or three wide. The wicker OF which they
are made Is closely woven, and they look,

the sides and from the sun overhead Thev

faces looking almost into one another, ana
when I walked by them l found them inhab-
tied by a pair of apparent lovers, who were
flirting here, as they do at all watering
places the world over. AT another place
there would be q half dozen Of these chairs In
a group, and a half dozen men and women, a
social party, would be goSsiping in them In
another there would be an old man, and In a
third O mother or a nurse, with her little
Dutch children playing in the a about her,
digging wells with their little spades, and
covering each other up, as they do at New
port, Atlantic City and Asbury Park. The
crowd here, however. was by no means all
Dutch. 1t was made up Of nearly every
nation Of Europe, and / heard the chatter OF
a dozen different languages as l walked along
the beach
Back Of these stairs, Just under the road
way. there was q line Of little square tents,
which were also inhabited, and away up on
the hill were hundreds Of villas and many
fine hotels. l took dinner at one OF the best
Of them, and found it cheaper than that OF
our American watering places. My dinner,
with wine, cost me only about sl.2o, and 1t
was q table d'hote, at which some OF the
mobiles of Europe were dining. Rooms cost
from 81 a day and upward, and the total cost
of living ought not to be here moro than "a
per day.
There must be a great deal Of wealth in
Holland. All of the cities have many fine
residences, and although the wooden clogged
element is undoubtedly very poor, the middle
and upper classes spend a great deal Of
money. They dress as do, indeed, the same
classes all over Europe, just as we do. Their
homes are elegantly furnished, and their
stores are full Of fine goods and jewels,
which, to afford to buy, one must be very
well off. There are plenty Of fine equipages
with good horses upon the roadways, and the
parks are full of well dressed ~promenaders.
At S~cheveningen 1900 visitors spend the sum-
nier by the seaside. And at a public concert in
the forest park of The Hague saw an audience
of several thousand as intelligent, well dressed
and well behaved people as you will find at a
high priced opera in New York city. The
Hollanders seem to lead a more home like life
than the French. They are as q rule well
educated, and they seem to appreciate the
good things Of this life as well as any people
