A Persian barber works in a style
very different from that in vogue in this
country. a typical shop was a square
room, with one side open to the street.
In the center was a 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 customers scalp. In Persia

clean. In two recesses stood four vases
filed with flowers, and the implements

Gets, hand mirrors, large piucers to ex-

combs, but not hais brush, for that i'm

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-

The first session of the Idaho State
Legislature, unlimited as to time, is
at an. end. The gavel has sounded its
knell in both houses, and the presid-
ing officers have solemnly announced
the adjournment without day. With
a record that few Legislatures can
equal, and none can hope to surpass,
the session just ended will live in
history. With its inherent capacity
for doing everything but work, day
after day was spent in useless filibus-
tering and dilatory tactics, until to-
wards the end when realizing sense
of the duties devolving upon them
seemed to come to the rescue Of the
members, and in the last days of the

out the exercise of restraint. Let me
make use of an instance afforded me by
M. Coquelin himself.
Once he says, he was tired before he
came on the stage, and falling sound
asleep when feigning sleep, he snored
real snores instead of feigned ones. The
result was, he tells us, that he never
snored SO badly. Naturally SO, since he
had lost control of the steed of feeling by
the fact of his sleeping, and SO it ran
away and carried him he knew not
where; but had M. Coquelin at some
time in his experience shed real tears,
while at the same time in full possession
of his waking faculties, and had he been
able to guide those tears into the chan
mel that his artistic sense told him to be
the right one, then we should not have
heard that the audience found those real
tears less effective than tears wholly
feigned and the product of intellect
rather than of feeling. in Cent

The Average Congressman I. Poor.

To the average congressman 5000 a
year is considerable money. I would
not like to say that there are any gentle
men in congress who do not attach more
Importance to the honor of seat in the
national legislature than they do to the
amount of salary they are paid for their
services. Still, 1 have good reason for
saying that there are more men in con-
gress who manage to save something
out of their salaries than there are of
those who practically never touch their
allowances as congressman.
There are several men now in the
house who live during the session of
congress upon the amounts that they re-
ceive as mileage and what they are al
lowed with which to purchase station
cry. At home it does not cost them any
ready money for their expenses, or if it
does they are able to make sufficient to
meet them. Consequently these con-
gressmen are able to save the so, 900
they receive during their term of Office.

THE DYKES or HOLLAND.


Their Appearance and How They Pro-
tsct the Land and Are Protected.
A certain jealous dame is said to have
once attempted to sweep the ocean away
with a broom. The Dutch have been
wiser than this. They are slow and de-
hberate people. Desperation may use
brooms. but deliberation prefers clay
and solid masonry. So, slowly and de-
iberately, the dykes, those great hill
like walls of cement and stone, have
risen to breast the buffeting waves.
And the funny part Of it is they are SO
skillfully -s1anted and paved on the out
side with fiat stones that the efforts of
the humping waves to beat them down
only make them all the frmerl
These Holland dykes are among the
wonders of the world. / cannot say for
how many miles they stretch along the
coast and throughout the interior; but
you may be sure that wherever dyke is
necessary to keep back the encroaching
waters there it is. Otherwise nothing
would be there, at least nothing in the
form of land; nothing but a fearful IL
lustration of the principal law of hydro
states: Water always seeks its level.
Sometimes the bikes, however care
fully built, will ssspring leak" and If
not attended to at once terrible results
are sure to follow. Inthreatened places
guards are stationed at intervals and q
steady watch is kept up night and day.
At the first signal of danger every
Dntchman within hearing Of the start
ling bell is ready to rush to the rescue.
When the weak spot is discovered, what
do You think is used to meet the emery
ency? What but straw-everywhere
else considered the most helpless Of all
things in water! Yet straw, in the
hands of the Dutch, has a will of its
own. Woven into huge mats and Sc
curely pressed against the embankment,
it defies even rushing tide, eager to
sweep over the country.
These dikes form almost the only per-
fectly dry land to be seen from the
ocean side. They are high and wide,
with fine carriage roads on top, some
times lined with buildings and trees.
Lying on one side of them, and nearly
on level with the edge, is the sea, lake,
canal or river, as the case may be; on
the other the fat fields stretching damp
ly along at their base, so that cottage
roofs sometimes are lower than the shin
ing line of the water.
Frogs squatting on the shore can take
quite bird'seye view of the landscape,
and little fish wriggle their tails higher
than the tops of the willows near by.
Horses look complacently down upon
the bell towers, and men in skiffs and
canal boats sometimes know when they
are passing their friend Dirk's cottage
only by seeing the smoke from its Chin
ney, or perhaps by the cart wheel that
he has perched upon the peak of its over
hanging matched roof, in the hope that
some stork will build her nest there and
SO bring good luck.-Mary Mapes Dodge
