SOMETHING OF A LIAR.


A Young Colored Barber Who Is in the
Munchausen Business.
In a Louisville barber shop is en-
ployed a little boy to keep.the flies off
the patrons of the place in summer
and act as general utility man in the
winter. Having nothing else to occupy
his mind, he has developed wonder
full faculty for relating marvellous
stories. He bids fair in time to out
rival Joe Mulhattan and several others
who have become noted as prevarica-
tors. His talent in this direction is so
marked, indeed, as to astonish the
patrons of the shop, whom he never
fails to regale with one of his choice
selections
The other afternoon q gentleman
who was in a hurry to catch the train
took seat in one of the chairs. He
had not got fairly settled in the big
cushions when the youthful story
teller, with a most serious counte-
nance, began a new work of the
imagination.
"You are going away on the train,
amt you. mister?" There was an as
senting nod.
II suppose you must be goin' down
to Georgy this time o year. It's so
cold, you know. 1 used to live down
in Georgy with my gran'pa- Me an
him raised popcorn together. We had
eighty acres in our farm, and on four
of them we raised popcorn. When it
got ripe we shucked it and put it in
big barn. 1t was hot an the barn was
dry.
"One night it caught fire. The corn
popped and flew all over the farm un-
til it looked like it had showed. The
next morning when our old COW come
out o her shed she saw the popcorn
all over everything, and, thinKin' it
was snow, she laid down and froze to
death"

Defense Against Book Borrowers.

A wise and venerable book-lover once
hit upon a cunning way in which to
defeat the nefarious book borrower.
He wrote the price, in plain figure, in
all his books, and when any body asked
to borrow a volume he cheerfully
answered: Yes, with pleasure" Then
he would add, looking at the fy-leaf,
Il see the price of this work is so-and-
so-you may take it at this figure,
which will, of course, be refunded
when the book is returned" Those
who really wanted the books made no
objection to leaving the deposit, while
those who lazily wanted to avoid a
Journey to the nearest library gener-
ally failed to take the loan. The old
tleman's beautiful library was in this
way preserved intact.

AMBITIOUS TO HYPNoTIzE.
An Electricians Experience With n PRO
fessor'' IN u Dime Museum.

lessor IN Dime Museum
Robert Kremer is young man en-
ployed by an electrical company. Re
Gently he took few lessons in hypno-
tism from professor" in dime
museum. One night he tried his hyp-
motto influence on one of the pro
fessor's' subjects at bis room in a
boarding house. According to his own
story, he succeeded in passing his sub
ject into the trance world" but was
unable to bring him back. He imme-
diately sert for his teacher, but he,
too, seemed powerless to re-
store the man to consciousness.
Then DR.. Loewon good was called
to the house. The doctor looked at
the patient for moment and then told
water over him. The doctor left the
house after giving the order. The
professor" acting on the physicians
suggestion. succeeded in a remark
ably short time in restoring the sub
iect to consciousness. The teacher
said that the man had been lin n hyp-
motto lethargic cataleptic fit.
DR. Loewengood said to reporter
recently that the case was a sham.
Young Kremer evidently believed he
had hypnotized his subject, but it was
all a scheme of the professor" to ad-
vertise himself.
Kremer's landlady ordered him to
pack his trunk and leave her house.
He went to Hoboken, where his rela-
tiveS live.

I'm emigration Into Canada.

= According TO the official statistics,
immigration into Canada is compare
lively inconsiderablc. In 1882 it grew
suddenly from 5000. tho number re-
'ceived in 1851, TO ll2, AS; but in 1888
it fell to under 5000, and in 1891 it
was only 5000. 1t Is an interesting
fact that more than two-thirds of the
addition 10 the population OF Quebec
from abroad is made by Canadians
who have tried TO make their way in
the United States. but, having failed,
return 10 their W country. At least
this Is the assertion of the official sta
tistician in tho Yearbook for 1881.
There is no evidence that this is more
than mere opinion. The Dominion
statistics on this interesting subject
are confcssedly unsatisfactory, the
task of gathcringth them being rendered
difficult because many OF the new set
tiers enter the country from the United
States.
In an evidently partial table in the
year book are some interesting facts
that throw a strong side light on the
race and immigration problems in the
two old provinces of Upper and Lower
Canada. Out of an immigration OF
90 1852 people into Quebec, Is, 400 were
Canadians, and only 1920 were Eng
lish, Irish. Scotch, German, and citi-
Gems Of the United States. Out of an
immigration of 9,516 into Ontario,
1864 were of the last-named peoples.
There had gone to Ontario nearly two
and a half times rs many Englishmen,
nearly twice rs many lrishmen, more
than three times as many S%cotchmcn,
more than six times as many Germans.
and four times as many Americans as
had gone to Quebec. At the same
time. three times as many Canadians
had returned to Quebec rs had gone
back TO Ontario. Henry Loonsis Nel-
