BOSTON BLUE LAWS.
The Way Boston BARRIERS Take to Evade
Them.

The BARRIERS of Boston are. as rule. nm

they do not work the Sabbath. But the,

qulred rhe customer wistfully, pausing as
he came to the spot where the gentleman
from Senegambia was standing in pietu-
rescue repose.
" Yes, sab" replied the latter courte-
o1sly. Walk right in. You'll find the
implements, sab, all ready for use at the
fourth cheer on de left"
The newcomer thereupon entered the
shop, where he found three other men
all IN partially-shaved condition-sit-
ting on the edge of as many chairs and
applying lather and steel to their own
faces. The situation was quickly ex-
planned by the Ethiopian in charge, who
had followed the late arrival from the
sidewalk. " You see, sah," said he, eve

without further delay, seated himself in
chair No. 4 and proceeded to operate upon
himself with the utensils at hand. At
the end of twenty minutes or so, with
some incidental laceration, he had finished
his task, and the barber-having helped
HIM on with his coat-proceeded to brush
him oil. Then the customer fumbled the
loose change in his trousers pocket and
asked, soto voice, what the charge might
be for shaving himself.

The Palm Hats of Honduras.

We read in the independents of Santa
Barbara that in the municipal districts of
that town during the present year 1852
palm hats (sombreroS dc .ju,eco) were manu-
featured. These hats are in shape and
make similar to the panama hats :"
which are made in Ecuador and are
brought into market under the above
name. The ordinary price of hat made
in Santa Barbara varies from 81 to s.
Central American money. Most of the
hats of Santa Barbara are the hand-work
of women, who, doing all their ordinary
domestic work, take about ten days to
finish one hat For very fine quality of
hat one month and more is required 1t
would be most important for this branch
of female industry to change the present
style of the "Santa Barbara hat " more
according the demands of fashion, in order
to introduce the same with greater facility
into the American and European markets,
where the Santa Barbara hats couli favor
ably compete with those manufactured at

Interesting to Every body.

The feet can be kept warmer in cold
weather by wearing shoe with light
sole than a thick one. With the former
the shoe has a chance to work, thereby
keeping up a circulation. This, of course
applies only when the weather is dry; but
when it is wet, and rubbers are necessary
it is best to wear a single-soled shoe in
side. In the summer the thick sole should
be worn, for it keeps the heat from strik
ing through to the foot. This is all Sc

Electricity on the Suez Canal.

The use of electric light at night in
navigating the Suez canal has been much
increased since March, 1887, when new
regulations went into effect regarding it.
The result has been to materially reduce
the time consumed in making the passage
and to multiply the number of vessels
passing through at night. The average
time of passage in 1884 was about 81 hours,
against SO hours in 1856. The fastest
passage made by a steamer using the cleo
trio light on its passage was trifle over

being permitted to steam faster than a

An Electric Trumpet.

An electric trumpet has been recently
devised by NJ. Mgang. 1t consists, says the
London Electrical Reriew, of short brass
tube mounted on wood, and containing an
electromagnetic whose ends face vibrating
plate, on which is fixed small piece OF
soft iron. Against the plate-armature rests
a regulating screw with platinum point,
which serves for automatic interruption,
by vibration of the armature. With two
Leclanche elements musical sound is
obtained, which may be varied in pitch,
intensity, AMI timbre by means of the
screw This instrument may be usefully
employed in signaling on ships, railways
tramways, etc; it may also serve as re-
ceiver for signals of the Morse type.

1t is useless and worse to persist in claim
ing that physical exercise for men and

In happy, sexless childhood, boys and girls
may indeed be allowed the same divers

lives begin to separate by development of

early these occasionally manifest them
selves, it is no longer practicable or right
