Sentimental Nonsense.

There is one sentimental story which
crops up perennially in the daily press
and in the weekly fiction. 1t repre-
sents the affecting homecoming of the
middle-aged son in possession of a
fortune. to his aged mother. and sud-
denly changing the poor old womar's
lot from one of semi-starvation. and
6reless hearth. and scanty clothing. to
one of possession of every luxury-an
elegant mansion, horses, fine raime1t,
etc. 1t is false teaching for the boys
who delight in reading such stories
and imagining themselves heroes OF
such tales. In many cases of runaway
sons the mothers died of sorrow and
neglect. if not of want In other cases
The sons never made any fortune, and
even when in real life a boy deserted
mis- mother for years and returned to
find her old, lonely, poor and infirIn.
his belated wealth and care could never
be to her what his comfortable sup
port and affection would have been in
her middle age. Life is too uncertain
for boys and young men to shirk pres
emit duties to parents in the expectation
of doing great things for them in the
future Chicago Journal.

TONSORiAL ETHICS,

Regulations for BARRIERS Adopted by .
Congress Held in Germany.
One of the interesting things which
the German papers have been writing
about lately is the establishment of a
code of BARRIERS ethics. 1t appears
that some time ago call was issued
for a congress of BARRIERS to assemble
at Berlin. Four hundred of them re-
spOnded, and there was a great and
interesting meeting, which lasted
three days. When they adjourned
they had formulated a code of trade
ethics, which is well worth the atten-
ton of their American brethren. Here
are some of the new regula-
tions: In future the operation of
shaving must invariably begin on
the left cheek, and the old style
over there of applying the lather
to the face with the hand must
be stopped and brushes used for that
purpose. No barber will be permitted to
remain a member of the association
who persists in holding a customer by
the nose while shaving him. To their
everlasting credit be it recorded that a
majority of the congress decided that
in SO far as talking to customers was
concerned great reform was neces-
sary, therefore they decreed that bar
bers should confine themselves to the
careful shaving or hair-cutting of their
patrons and not allow their tongues to
ramble during the operation over the
domain of politics. commerce, philoso-
congress has left a loophole for escape,
since on motion of Hamburg barber
it was resolved that an observation on
the weather. by way of greeting or
farewell. would not imperil an artists

A Choice Collection of Current Dress and
Household Notes.
Black Draiding is the rage just now.
Green. brown and sulphurinO, new
red which is described by its title, arc
fashionable colOrs now.
Cashmere colorings are prominent
in all the trimmings intended for
dressy costumes, and their beauty is
enhanced by judicious intermixture
of metallic threads.
AS the season advances, cloths of
rich. dark colors are chosen for cos
tunes in preference to stripes and
plaids.
Narrow ribbon of any preferred
color and with fancy edges are tackled
in the neck and sleeves of many trav-
cling gowns, in place of the linen col
lars and cuffs hitherto considered in
dispensable.
Silver frames for photographs have
appeared in Louis XIV. style. showing
the old scroll pattern, either oval,
square or round. Attractive frames
are also made of silver basket-wOrk,
while still others are of leather with
silver corners. Roman gold frames
have also appeared. as have frames
rocco in style.
The rage for inserting tiny watches
in various articles has even reached
the vinaigrette, and dial is to be seen
in the center of simulated cut-glass
scent bottles. These are circular and
fluted-sided. In fact, the watch is sur
rounded by a circle of cut glass with q
gold-capped top forming vinaigrette.
Chased silver is sometimes used in
place of the glass. but the shape re-
mains the same.
Watches for ladies' wear run small
in size, and the present taste seems to
be for decorated cases. Enameling is
much used in the ornamentatiOn OF
watch cases. On silver watches appears
much fine etching.
