Professional Men Nav Advertise.

lam firmly of the opinion that there's
a profitable field for development in the
direction of advertising by professional
men. After giving the subject a good
deal of thought and weighing tho 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 we'll
us the advertising fraternity, and, with
due respect to those who have discussed
it, | maintain that they have failed to
approach the subject from it's true point
of observation.
l III aware that custom and a sup
posed unwritten law, which is fostered
by the exclusive and super-dignifed ele-
ment of all professions, frown upon the
mere mention of this subject. 1t does
not follow that their ban of displcasure
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
motiyes.-A. J.. Teele in Printers Ink.

A Persian Barber.

\. Persian barber works in a style
very different from that in vogue in this
country. A typical shop was a square
room, with II side open to the street.
In the center was a tiny bed of flowers
sunk in the floor, from the middle of
which rose ali octagonal stone column
about three feet high.
The capital of the column formed a
acceptable for the water in which
the barber dipped his hand as he
shaved his customers 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-scissors, razors, Ian
Gets. hand mirrors, large pincers to ex-
tract teeth, branding irons to cauterize
the arteries in alnputating limbs, strong
combs, but not a hair brush, for that i'm
plelnent is never used by Persians.
FROM the BARRIERS girdle hung a 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 Il sign
that the job 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 ailing, sets their
broken bones and shampoos their bodies.

DRAINAGE.

How few people realize the results of
extensive drainage, such as a highly civ
ilized country presents. No inconsider-
able changes arc wrought by artificial
drainage. Much of surface water, in
stead of being left to form marshes, sat
mate the soil or be taken up by evapora-
ton, is carried away underground
through drain pipes. Consequently the
air is not SO moist as formerly. and the
soil, instead Of being constantly chilled
by evaporation, is rendered warm and
genial. This result has been particu-
larly noticed in England and Scotland,
where very extensive areas have been
artiticially drained.
Holland has been. one might say. re.
claimed from tho sea. The water has
been dyRed out, ard many parts of the
country that We're the bottom of the sea
are now dry land, and though below sea
level form the homes of happy and in
dustrious communities. Years ago there
were along the lower banks of the Mis-
sissippi drowned lads subject to over
flow and uninhabituble, coveringa an area
larger than the state of New York.
Many of these lands have been reclaimed
10y means of lcvees. Thus, by mans il

general physical condition of the earth

Curcd of practical Jokiug.

Practical joking has had many follow

in which Beethoven was cured of it

the cart" The wife of Il pianist in
Vienna was a great adnirer of the COM
poser's works, and had set her heart on
getting a lock of his hair. She induced
her husband to get q mutual friend to
ask for it; but the friend, being Il prac-
teal joker, instead of carrying out her
wishes, persuaded Beethoven. who also
was fond of q practical joke, to send her
a lock cut from a billy goats beard, the
hair of which in texture and color
slightly resembled that of the composers.
The lady was very proud of her sup
posed treasure, until another friend,
who knew the facts, Informed her Of the
trick, when she was SO distressed that
her husband wrote an indignant letter
to Beethoven. The composers dis
courtesy to a lady being thus brought
home to him, he was so ashamed that he
Immediately wrote a letter OF apology,
inclosing a genuine lock of hair; and he
resolved never to be a party to such
jokes again.-New York Ledger.

Character from the Fingers.

AS far as the fingers are concerned,
experts in palmistry divide hands into
three classes. Long. slender, taperins
fingers determine the first, and denote
delicate, trained perceptions. y. subject
with such fingers has an innate fondness
for art, poetry, music and the higher
forms of literature. In the second class,
the fingers are shorter. are nearly equal
i'll length, and have blunt ends. They
denote IL practical, material mind. thor
ough and reliable, rather than brilliant.
y woma with such fingers would make
a careful and efficient housckeerer, and
a man with similar ones would be eau
tious and thorough in business. In tho
third class, the fingers are short, thick
and square, and have short, large nails,
with cushions on each side of the nails.
n subject having these fingers is active,
athletic, o%pinionatca. selfish, has strong
;ppetites for the material things of life,
and is liable to form strong ,rciudices.

became IL popular amusement in the
