The Horrors Of n C,c5e Shave.

"Let me have close shave" said q
new customer, as he settled back in his
chair and looked dreamily at the ceiling
In downtown barber shop.
IA rather not" said the aesthetic
barber, throwing the hair back from his
lnli, expansive brow and lookin,. sadly
at the man in the chair.
hats that you say2 What's the
natter Come, come, hurry up"
NO, no, my good man, you do not
know what you are asking for. DO YOU
know what close shave means2 I never
did until | looked at a face the other
DAY through microscope which had
been treated to this luxurious process.
why, the entire skin resembled a pieca
OF raw beef. To make the face perfect
~ smooth requires not only the removal
OF the hair, but also q portion of the Gu
tlcle, and close shave requires the re-
moval of layer of skin all around. The
blood vessels thus exposed are not visi
DE 10 the naked eve, but under the mi
croscope each little quivering mouth
holding o minute blood drop protests
against such cruel treatment. The
nerve tips are also uncovered, and the
pores are lett unprotected, which makes
The SKIN tender and unhealthy. This sud
den exposure of the inner layer of the
SKIN renders person liable to have
colds, hoarseness and sore throat and IL
is only that the face and neck are
pachydermatous-"
Hold on, bsrberl Not another
word exclaimed the customer. A look
OF sadness had come over his face opd ba
seemed to be mentally calculating the
amount of efidermis that had been sac
rihced III many years of close shaves.
Hu,. denly jumping from his chair he said
with deep feeling:
ia never shave again"
In moment more he WAS gone. The
@stethlc barber was astonihed at the I'm
expected result of his effort to rid a fel.
low being of foolish notion, and he had
a chill when the boss barber told him
that the loss Of trade would be deducted
from bis salary. Y. Tribune.

The Schools Of Greece,

In considering the rural schools of
Greece We must take into CAREFUL con
sheraton the spar,eness OF population.
There a'c a out >, 0D0, 030 people clas>cd

Tue same extent of territory, and, ou;-
SIDE Its cities, nearly the same number

haS about 2000 communal schools.
lh2re Is a widespread desire to better
'Ler condition. We have seen how the
young men and women are crowdlna
h'o the cities to secure the advanced
courses of study in the gymnasiums. the
normal schools. the Polytechnic, and the
University. They come largely from
shctly rural communities. They re

Inc rural schools are taught some

King la Ia in Exile.

King ia Ia, the deposed West African
monarch, who was captured some six
months ago by the marines of the Brit
ISL nan ofwar Icarus, is still a prisoner
on the Island of st. Vincent, in the West
Indies, where the Icarus landed him.
Judging by the report recently brought
in by gentleman arriving on a West
India steamer, the royal exile is having
pretty good time, though he pines oc
casionally for the cOmpanionship of the
sixty or more wives left behind him in
his late kingdom of Opopo.
Ia ia, it will be remembered, was nc.
cused of breaking a certain treaty with
England. lie purchased a couple of
Krupp guns, it is said, and began
to make preparations to blow any
"blawsted" Britisher who trespassed on
his territory to kingdom come" He
WIS induced by British Consul General
Johnson to pay visit to the Consulate
at the mouth of the River Opopo for the
alleged purpose of arranging matters.
He was surrounded by marines, and al
most before he knew it he was on board
sprisoner.
He still vigorously protests that he
was not guilty of violating any treaty
between his country and England, but
be has grown more resigned to his ex.
lie.

PUT OFF THE TRAIN.
A ScaIped Ticket that Didn't Go
Through.

A ScaIped Ticket that Didn't Go
Through.
Another victim of the ticket scalpers
turned up in town yesterday with a
pitiful story. He said that he had pur-
chased ticket to San Francisco for $40,
the regular rate being SIS, and, with
this in his pocket, boldly boarded the
train at the Wolfskill depot. Owing to
the big travel out of the city it passed
the conductor all right; in fact, the only
way that trainmsn has of identifying
scalped ticket is by either the nervous
ness or the over-assurance of its holder.
The traveller congratulated himself on
saving the IS, and leaned back in his
seat and composed himself for a sleep
during his upward journey. He soon
got off into the land of Nod, and was in
imagination already boarding the
transfer boat at Oakland, when the
words "Tickets" resounded in his ear
and opening his eyes he saw the con-
ductor standing over him. If he had only
known the that official was again making
the rounds, the train which had just left
Saugus there receiving the Santa Bar
bara passengers, the traveller would have
been all right, for the conductor, not see
ing bis hat-check, which had fallen out,
had forgotten the circumstance of his be-
ing on the train when it left Los Angeles.
The traveller did not know this, however,
and proceeded to explain about his ticket
in such nervous manner that the con-
ductor soon discovered that the patron of
scalper was before him and immedi-
ately called for his signature. 1t did not
coincide in details with that on the paste
board, 80 the P. S. man Informed him
that he would either have to pay
his full fare or leave the train, and, as
he had not the wherewithal for the first
proposition, he was compelled, perforce,
to accept the latter one, and found him
self few moments later sitting on the
end of a railroad tie, thirtv-two miles
from Los Angeles and 450 from his OBJ
jective point at San Francisco, to which
place the train from which he had been
elected whirled away merrily from his
gaze. He luckily had the $1.80 neces-
sary to bring him back to Los An
geles, and arrived here yesterday
morning with blood in his eye,
which promised badly for the
ticket-scalper who had sold him the
ticket. When he finally located that in
dividual, he was asked by the paste
board seller if he had the ticket with
him, "for if you have, will redeem it"
OF course, tho unlucky traveller had not
in fact, he had nothing but his own
statement to prove he had been put off
the train, SO he got no satisfaction; and
when telling the story to HERALD man
last night, he remarked: "The next
time l start for San Francisco, I'll get
my ticket the regular way, and then if
get put off I'll sue the railroad COM
pany."
