Professional Men May Advertise.

am firmly of the opinion that there is
a profitable field for development in the
direction of advertising by professional
men. After giving the subject good
deal of thought and weighing the OBJ
jections already raised and to be antici-
pated | have a settled conviction that
the lawyer, the doctor, the dentist, the
architect or any other professional man
can call to his aid the limitless power of
printers ink, and advertise in display
type In the advertising columns of the
newspaper or magazine to his advantage
and without loss of self respect or public
estimation. This question has received
the attention Of professional men as well
as the advertising fraternity, and, with
due respect to those who have discussed
it, | maintain that they have failed to
approach the subject from its true point
of observation.
/ am aware that custom and a sup
posed unwritten law, which is fostered
by the exclusive and super-dignified ele-
ment of all professions, frown upon the
mere mention of this subject. 1t does
not follow that their ban of dlspleasure
and sarcastic comments in any manner
reflect upon the enterprising and indie
pendent man, who, confident of his own
worth, his professional ability, moral
and social equality, trampling on Gus
tom, appeals to the common sense of the
public for the correctness of his acts and
motives. A. L. Teele in Printers Ink.

Mr.. Garman, in a lecture before the
Boston Society Of Natural History, gave
an interesting synopsis of sea snake or
sea serpent literature, besides exhibiting
a specimen of the real serpent to the as
tonished audience. The professor first
gave an historical resume of the earlier
literature upon the subject, going back
to the time of Pontoppidan and review
ing it down to date. Further on in his
lecture he gave figures of some of the
queer marine monsters which have from
time to time frightened sailors and 9th
ers almost to death, deftly drawing each
of the figures on a blackboard specially
provided for the occasion.
Mr.. Garman also spoke of a most re-
markable recent discovery which has
brought to light species of shark gem
orally believed to have become extinct
many thousands of years ago, the re-
mains of the animal being now found in
the rocks of the Devonian system. He is
of the opinion that this recently discov-
cred sea tiger is the original of more than
one blood curdling sea serpent story.
The length and general outlines of this
should be fossiled shark are such as TO
cause any one except a born naturalist
to take it for an immense serpent, an
opinion which would, of course, be
heightened by viewing dorsal exposure
of the creature through a glass in a
troubled sea.
Professor Garman does not discredit
sea serpent stories, however, and is of
the opinion that there are many Shiny
monsters lying far down upon the bot
tom of the sea, the like of which human
eyes have never yet beheld.-St. Louis
Republic.

A Persian barber works in a stvie
very different from that in vogue in this
country. A typical shop was square
room, with one side open to the street.
In the center was tiny bed of flowers
sunk in the floor, from the middle of
which rose an octagonal stone column
about three feet high.
The capital of the column formed a
receptacle for the water in which
the barber dipped his hand as he
shaved his Gus, omers scalp. In Persia
they do not lather The shop was very
clean. In two recesses stood four vases
filled with flowers, and the implements
of the BARRIERS art-sclssors, razors, Ian
Gets, hand mirrors, large pincers to ex-
tract teeth, branding irons to cauterize
the arteries in amputating limbs, strong
combs, but not haiE brush, for that inn
plement is never used by Persians.
From the BARRIERS girdle hung round
copper water bottle, his strop, and a
pouch to hold his instruments. In his
bosom was a small mirror, the presenta-
ton of which to his customers is a sign
that the jO0 is finished and that the bar
Der waits for his pay. The barber shaves
the heads of his customers, dyes their
boards, pulls their teeth, blisters and
bleeds them when aihng, sets their
broken bones and shampoos their bodies.

The Art Of Being Entertained

Let everything dark melt away before
a sunny nature. If you go to home for
a social visit, be merry, be easy of man
ner, ready to join in what has been pre-
pared for you. Learn the great art of
adapting yourself to your surroundings.
Don't forever expect your friends to ae-
company you or show you around. Go
off by yourself, even though you have no
special errand. Show your hostess that
you do not expect her or her family to
continually wait upon you. Enter into
the family circle. Be one of them in
spirit, SO that, after hearty handshake
at the station, it may be said of you:
What a pleasure she has beenl How
easy to entertain!'' Ladies' Home Jour

Cloth Made Non-InflammabIe.

The usefulness of tungstate Of soda in
imparting the quality of non-inhamma-
bility to various materials is now largely
utilized. Cloth, when soaked in a solu-
ton of this kind say of 20 per cent, and
allowed to dry, will not burst into flame
when brought into contact with the fire,
the simple effect of the latter being to
cause the cloth to slowly carbonize or
smolder. In preparing linen and light
muslin garments in this manner the solu-
ton is usually mixed with the starch, and
the addition of about 3 per cent. of phos-
phate of soda TO the tungstate is also said
to be an improvement. Wood can be
treated in a similar manner but it is
rather an expensive process when under
taken on considerable scale, and as it
does not render the wood really incom-
bustible, is not important.-Ne York
Sun.
