Barbering in Germany.

The German barber on his native
heath differs radically from the Ger
man barber with American improve
ment, says the New York SU71. In the
ordinary provincial town of Germany
man is seated in cane-bottomed
chair, without head-rest or foot-rest
His head is tipped back in such a man
ner that the chair-back cuts his neck
| Just above the collar. The barber
turns out small soup-plate full of
water, in which floats piece of soap.
A small semi-circu lar gouge in the rim
of the plate is fitted to the customers
Adams apple and his face is rubbed
vigorously with stick of soap till a
sufficient lather has been produced.
The shaving properis performed with
more of the proverbial Teutonic de-
liberation. A few hasty strokes on
either cheek, few more on the throat
and chin, and the man has been shaved.
A little alum is applied where the
blood has started, the. soup-plate is
again used to aid in rather super
fetal wash, the customer pays his two
and half cents and leaves. There is
no bay rum, no brushing the hair with
out extra charge, and no brushing the
coat.
Shaving at shop rarely costs more
than cents, and often only one and q
half. BARRIERS are to be found in every
provincial town. who are willing to 90
| to Il customers house and shave him
four times week for % cents month.

ROORBACKS,

one to be Sprung Against j. w.
Venable at the Last Hour.
1t has come to our knowledge that
some Republicans of the Fifth Supervis-
oral district will spring a calumny
against Mr.. ]. w. Venable, the Demo.
cratic candidate, at too late an hour for
refutation before the election. The
scheme will associate the name of Mr..
Venable in disreputable manner with
the work of providing maps for the
County Assessors Office.
In anticipation of this design, we will
state the County Treasurer required the
Supervisors to furnish his office with q
complete set of maps of Los Angeles
county. These were absolutely necessary
for the efficient working Of his office.
The Supervisors advertised for bids fol-
the whole work. Upon learning that the
Supervisors required maps showing
every parcel of land in the county
whether such plats were of record or not,
and whether any plats existed in private
lands or not, thus involving large
amount of field work to complete the set,
all who had purposed bidding for the
work declined to do 80, saying that il
was not possible for them even to ap.
proximate the cost.
The Supervisors, therefore, thought
best to place the work in the hands oi
some one whose competence was known
to them, and let said party 60 on with
the work at once, employing his own
help, SO that he could have full control
of it, and send in his bill monthly with
statement of the work done, compensa
ton being fixed at so much per day fol
himself and so much for each helper
only competent craftsmen to be EN-.
ployed.
Mr.. Venable was appointed commit
tee to see that the work was satisfactory
and the number of men employed cor
rectly reported. AS such committee
he had nothing to do with
the question of compensation
that being fixed by the Board
He had nothing to do with the arrange
ments made between the second party t.
the agreement and the craftsmen EN-
ployed, that being wholly their private
business.
The work was done satisfactorily ant
several thousand dollars less than tn,
lowest amount mentioned by those wh,
had at first bid on tor had contemplate,
doing 80.

Three Alarms.

The alarm from box No. 7 at half past
r o'clock last night was for the burning
Of partition between two vacant rooms
IN house on Mozart street. The rooms
had not been occupied for six months
and the origin Of the fire is mystery.
The partition was the only thing that
burned.
The burning of an awning on Spring
street, in front of Stewards drygoods
STORE at s 80 O'Clock, was the cause of an
aaarm from box No. 32. The fire was
extinguished before the building caught.
RAtrolman Kearney, of Lawson's Patrol,
was the first to discover the blaze.
A third alarm was turned in from box
No. 6 at II O'Clock for fire in a two
story frame dwelling on the corner oi
Kuhrts and Workman streets. The
damage was not great, and it was sus.
pected that the fire was incendiary.

The difference between the contractors
1br the paving of First street has not yet
been settled, although it is expected that
n understanding will be reached in the
nsar future. Mayor Workman has been
working very hard with this end in view,
md Captain Barrett has taken hold of
the matter since he returned. Contractor
0heerer states that he is and has been
psrfectiy willing to 60 to work on an
equitable arrangement, but he is not
wiling to let the work 60 on with Mr..
Austen az contractor under an arrange
nsnt which does not give him equal
1gh&s. He states that he is not to blame
~ the delay, but that the stumbling
blocks have been thrown in the way Of
