In a Maniac BARRIERS Chair.


A barber becoming insane while shaw
ing man is what every man who ever
had his chin scraped has feared. There
fore a great sensation was caused at
Kenneth square when William Reese
showed signs of insanity while shaving
Larkin jackson. jackson had been lather-
ed and was sitting in the chair. when
Reese made him shiver clear down his
spine by remarking:
jackson, you would make beauti-
full corpse; l will take you to heaven
with me"
The BARRIERS eyes grew wild, and his
hand moved uneasily, scratching Jack
sons face. Reese laid the razor down
for minute and rubbed his hands. This
was supposed to be preparatory to max
ing jackson an angel. jackson, thinking
it was time for him to get out. made for
the door, but he was not quick enough
for Reese. who met him at the door; but
after hard struggle he wrestled himself
loose and started down the street, with
Reese in close pursuit. Reese stumbled
and fell. He was captured. and will not
do any shaving for some time to come.

The columns of advertisements OF ssrv-
ants seeking employment Indicate the
extent Of the practice of many families
of discharging their help before going
ont of the city for the summer months
and employing other help after returning
If their former servants do not seek re-
employment with them Years ago. be-
fore the times of flats and apartment
houses, families had some consideration
for their servants, and if they went to
the country or seashore for few weeks
the servants were permitted to remain
in the houses and without any loss of
wages. In many instances supplies for
the table were furnished.
But now it is common practice 70
discharge servants and let them shift for
themselves. even if the time of absence
be only few weeks Owing to that
practice a servant must seek other work
at time when little work is to be had.
or must support herself with the little
savings that she has put aside, and board
with relatives and friends until the close
of summer. Every week of idleness cuts
into the savings. II she had been no
titled Of She intended discharge she
might have sought employment in the
country, bat in many instances she was
held until too late for that
She had no residence and very little
sympathy. Now the family that en-
ployed her may offer inducements for
her to return or employ somebody else.
probably the latter She has not the
kindliest of feelings for the family that
discharged her, and she knows that the
next family that employs her may act
likewise next year; but she is obliged
to work, and she gets the best employ
ment she can under the circumstances,
This practice is undoubtedly one Of
the reasons for the. objections to work
ing in flats. as the tenants are less like
ly than the occupants of houses to con-
slider protection necessary during their
absence. New York Sun.

Farmers in Florida have begun to
raise these Gala roots for market. The
plants grow readily in swamps, and SO
thickly that the yield of a single flooded
acre is enormous They reproduce them
selves by the multiplication of their
bulbs underground, so that the grower
has simply to dig up the offshoots and
leave the parents to propagate anew.
For centuries the Egyptians have Guilt
waited similar crop during the season

an agricultural industry of the future
