Don't Talk Too Much.

Customers who show by their manner
that they prefer to be alone with their
thoughts while under the razor are never
annoyed, says an exchange.
A great deal has been said about the
talkativeness of BARRIERS, but if those who
try to be funny on that subject were
better posted they would find reason
for it other than the mere loquacity of
the barber.
Il is infinitely easier to handle Gus
toner who is interested in conversa-
ton. This is particularly true of q
nervous or fdgity man, who, if the oper-
alton goes on in silence, becomes rest
less and growls at the razor, or objects
to the way in which he is being shaved.
The talk takes his mind away from his
face, 80 that he is often surprised to find
the work finished when he thought it
scarcely begun.
A barber never gets into an argument
with his customer. His opinions veer
around like weather vane to suit the
particular man upon whom he may be
operating at the time. The conversation
dodge is merely one of the tricks of the
trade. Of course there are few young
er members of the tonsorial fraternity
who use little Judgment in talking to
customers, and no one is more amused
than their fellow BARRIERS when they get
setback from some irascible tempered
victim of their gabble.-Exchange

Sufferers from nervous maladles nave
perhaps in store for them method Of
alleviating their discomfort not dissimi-
lar to the musical system of soothing
the sick which Canon Hartford has
been trying to introduce. 1t is in the
department of "vibratory medicine
that the celebrated French doctor, M.
Charcot, has hit upon his latest idea.
Having noticed that patients affected
by certain form of paralysis, shaking
palsy" appeared to derive great benefit
from long journeys by rail. M. Charcot
has caused to be constructed a sort OF
armchair, which by an ingenious ar
rangement produces vibrations resem-
bling those of train in motion. Placed
in these "fauteulls trepidats," the sub
jects of M. Charcot's experiments grad
ually lose the chief symptoms Of their
disorder, and finally fall into calm and
refreshing sleep.
A compatriot of M. Charcot-M.
GILES de In Tourette--has, working on
the same lines, contrived vibrating
cap" for the transmission to the head Of
localized vibrations. After wearing this
novel article of attire for about seven or
eight minutes u man in good health is
made quite sleepy by the soft buzzing Of
the cap, while in cases Of insomnia, bad
headache and SO on unquestionable relief
is produced by its application. Each of
these two clever inventions should be of
service in this age of "nerves" and over
pressure. Pail Mall Gazette.

The Americana Toast.

Benjamin Franklin was dining with
small party of gentlemen when one of
them said:
"Here are three nationalities repre-
scented. I am French, my friend here is
English and Mr.. Franklin is American.
Let each propose toast"
The Englishman rose and in the tone
of a Briton bold said, "Here's to Great
Britain, the sun that gives light to the
nations of the EARTH"
The Frenchman was rather taken back
mt this, but he proposed, Here's to
France. the moon whose magic rays
move the tides of the world"
Franklin then rose and with an air of
quaint modesty said, "Here's to George
Washington, the Joshua of America,

II seems hard TO believe that in very
few years the incandescent lamp, which
we now regard as in many respects an
almost perfect light, viii be regarded
as crude makeshift which mankind
availed itself of while science stood on
the threshold of the discovery Of the
perfect luminant. Mr.. Tesla has shown
in his experiments an ideal form of
electric lighting which would transcend
in luxury and convenience our present
system of electric lighting by incandes-
cent lamps as far as the latter transcends
the oil lamps and tallow dips used by
our near ancestors.
Every drawing room would become
an electric field in continual state of
rapidly alternating stress, in which the
occupants would live, experiencing no
unpleasant effect whatever, while vacu-
Gus tubes of phosphorescent globes and
tubes, without care or attention, would
shed soft diffuse light of color and in
tensity arranged to suit the most lux
urious fancy.
Mr.. Tesla's watchword is that the
phosphorescent glow is the light of the
future. He hints at artificial aurorse
spreading from the SUBMITS Of towers
or hitherto undreamed of height, and he
has at all events got as far as produc-
ing in the air at atmospheric pressure a
glowing plane bounded by two rings
about foot and thirty inches in diam
eter respectively. Whether all his Wis.,
ions will be realized remains to be
proved. There Is no doubt that they
are guiding him right.-Chicago Inter

Many little stories are told in illustra-
ton of the kindliness Of heart of the
Earl of Balcarres under somewhat
rough exterior. One season he had a
field of turnips upon which he prided
himself a good deal, and walking
abroad in the early morning he surprised
an old woman busily engaged filling a
sack with his favorites. After giving
her hearty scolding, to which she re-
piled only by the silent eloquence of re-
peated courtesies, he was walking away
when the woman called after him: "Eh,
my lord, the bags unco' heavy. Would
ye be sac kind as to help me on to my
back wi it?"-which he did forthwith,
when the culprit decamped with pro-
fuse thanks. s.--Macmillan's Magazine.

tinent-nine in South America, six in
Central America, with Mexico in North
America Brazil is as large as the
United States. SO far as their material
resources are concerned these sister re-
publics have not yet begun to be
scratched over the surface. IT, begin
at the 83d parallel of north latitude and
extend to the 54th parallel, south lati-
tude.
Mexico is the most prosperous and ad-
vanced in civilization, owing, as we flat
ter ourselves. to her proximity to the
United States. She has already four
lines Of railway connecting her with tie
United States, and various local roads
to the Caribbean sea and elsewhere. In
few years moro Mexico will be rs well
railroaded as any state in the American
Union.
Up to 1911 the republics of all the
western part of South America were
merely colonial dependencies of Spain.
Then they declared revolution and
fought in brave struggle for ten years
to gain their independence. 1t may be
set down to our credit that the United
States was the first to recognize their
independence, which she did in 1922.
Owing to the efforts Of President Mon
roe and John Quincy Adams Great
Britain and France also recognized this
Independence England in 1923, France
in 1926. During the discussion of recog-
milton by European powers the presi-
dent promulgated his famous Monroe
doctrine" in message to congress, set
ting forth as principle that the Aineri-
can continents were henceforth "nos to
be considered as subjects for future col
onization by any European powers.

Fifteen out Of Maryland's twenty
three counties border on the Chesapeake
bay, and Mr.. John r. Bland, one OF the
states commissioners, has beautiful
scheme to illustrate this fact at the
Worlds fair. He would have Chesa-
peake bay room, with everything in it
suggestive of the bay. First, a screen
Of shells at the door, then ceiling rep
resenting the bay with all its depths
and indentations, and walls set in all
the specimens of shells, fish, etc.
Around the wall he would have tanks
with the oyster, crab and terrapin in
their natural state, oysters clinging to
the rocks and turtles in their native
habit. He would also have stuffed ducks
and other fowl got up in the best style
Of the taxidermist, vegetables, minerals
and all other products. All this to be
brilliantly lighted with electric lights,
wherever practicable, issuing from tho
eyes Of fish and turtles.
Such o scheme has the merit Of orig
inalfty and gives great scope for incar-
mated humor, In fact, its chief risk is
that Of being cruelty satirized. If the
plan should be generally adopted, the
various state buildings might prove the
chief attraction of the show. The pei-
can of Louisiana and the wild goose Of
the Dakota couteaux, the loon and mud
n
hen and the horned toad of the high
plains, with all the queer creatures Of
Arizona and the absurd reptiles Of
Florida, would certainly make unique
and comprehensive national exhibit.
Incidentally types Of mankind--stuffed
OF course--might be set up, such as the
cowboy of Texas, the cotton picker Of
the gulf states and the granger from
