SOAKING 1T DOWN."
The Scientific Method of Reducing a
Swelled Head as Practiced in Boston.


From the Chicago Tribune.
BosToN, MASS, April 30.-A fashionably
dressed young man, with an air of extreme
fatigue, strolled into the barber shop in the
rear of Young's Hotel at about II O'Clock
yesterday morning, and, after permitting
the boy to relieve him of his light spring
overcoat, dropped languidly into vacant
chair. Soak it down. he said briefly, as
the tonsorial artist helped him to insert his
arms into the sleeves of a sort of night
gown arrangement, which was subsequently
buttoned at the back of the customers
neck and tucked in carefully over his tall
shirt collar. The attendant without utter
ing a word-the swell barber is a silent
man in Boston, where frivolous converse
ton is eschewed-began his task in way
that showed he knew what was required of
him. First he took a very hot dry towel
from a radiator close by and bound it
tightly around the head of the fashionable
youth, over the eyes and temples The sub
ject of the operation gasped and uttered an
emphatic exclamation when the super
heated bandage was applied, but he only
grunted when another towel, soaked in
boiling water, was wrapped about the first.
Then a third towel, also soaked in boiling
water, was folded and laid upon the ex-
posed occiput thus enveloping the head
almost entirely in cloth.
For a while the customer was left to him
self, while from his turbaned Uranium
arose a cloud Of steam, as if his brains were
on the boil-like those people in the Moham-
medan inferno who are compelled to wear
shoes of red-hot iron. After a bit tho
knight of the razor and strap took off the
bandages, applying fresh ones in their
stead and so on, until they had been thrice
renewed. Finally they were removed, and
t by-this-time somnolent young man wa s
awakened by the agitation of two fans, in
tended to dry what moisture remained in
his hair. The usual titivation, with comb
and brush and tonic bottle followed, and at
length the fashionable youth was extricated
from his nightgown, while the boy stood
by with coat and hat, and the barber
handed him check for SOC.
Feel better, siri' inquired the tonsorial
expert sympathetcally.
"Well, | should say So" responded the
patient, as he buttoned up his outer gar
ments Nothing swells a PERSONS head
like too much champagne, don't you know
l drank about a gallon of the stuff last
night, and this morning the result was
simply distressing. But feel quite myself
again now after going through the hot
water process; so, thanks awfully," and
with this the gilded young man blew out.

writer, who was the next victim to occupy
the chair. at was originated in this estab
lishment, and fifteen or twenty gents come

Two cross-te tourists, claiming to be
from the far West, rode in on an incoming
train last week in the favorite style of the

coal, these they were showing to some OF
the ignorant darkies i'll the suburbs and
selling TO them as loadstone, with which
they claimed all sorts of wonders could be
performed, such as drawing silver money
from pockets, opening any kind
of locks, etc. They were having
quite run of trade until n shrewd colored
chap in the crowd got a nee lie and wanted
to see the loadstone work. before he bought,
which. of course, it failed to do. "Git out
