LAMENT OF THE BARBER.
why His Trade Is Not SO Profitable Ii
These Later DAYS.


NO, barbering is not a money max
ing business, said kuefner, as he
deity welded his razor. Il know of
only one man in my experience who
became wealthy at it, and that was a
man who used to keep the barber shop
in the United States hotel in Fulton
street, New York. He retired with a
comfortable fortune, but he was one
man in a thousand
''Barbering was much more protta-
BILE fifteen years ago than it Is to-day.
At that time it was the custom for
nearly every patron TO have his own
pomatum, face powder, hair ,oil and
hair restorer in the rack beside his cup
It was generally believed at that time
that hair could be made to grow on
a bald head, and also that many OF the
mixtures on the market would prevent
hair from falling out But those ideas
are thoroughly exploded now, due
largely, / think, to the publicity given
to the subject by the newspapers
IL have no doubt that many men
now bald would be well matched were
II not that they used so much hair oil.
It is the exception at the present time
in my shop when a man will permit
me to put oil on his head, many Of
them preferring to have the hair
oombed dry. When your head becomes
dirty wash it thoroughly with soap
and water, and if you wish it to take
on a luster like the ravens wing brush
It for five minutes night and morning
with q soft brush The large income
derived from the sale of the emolli-
ents referred to being now cut OF,
the trade of the barber cannot now be
classed with that Of the plumber and
the coal dealer as a money-making
burSuit."

TESTING IRON COLUMNS.

SIMPLE Device fsr Measuring Their suS-
parting ssresgth.
Have you ever noticed" said . st.
Louisan, those massive irQp
pillars in the basement Of the
new Planters house? Well, did
you ever stop to think of the
immense weight they will be com
PEELED 70 support steadily for many,
many years? Oh, you have But l
suppose you have thought the manu-
facturers just made those pillars and
sold them without knowing how much
they would bear it. Let me tell you
about that
Those pillars are cast in the same
manner as are cast-iron stoves-by
running the liquid metal into sand
molds, but alongside of each pillar is
cast an iron bar, from the same metal.
The bar is precisely an inch square
and five and one-half feet in length
When cold it is subjected to very
simple test Each end of the bar Is
placed upon a table, and weights are
suspended from the center by rope.
It must bear q tensile strength of 500
pounds to tho square inch The test
may begin with 400 pounds and be
gradually increased until the bar is
found to be perfectly supporting the
required weight II It breaks, for in
stance, at $50 Or 400 pounds then the
pillar cast from the pot of metal
which cast the bar is dis
carded broken up and put into
the pot again, with more pig-iron
added The pillars, you know, are
largely made from scrap-fron, and the
manufacturers cannot know the
strength of the cast until it is tested
The addition of pig-iron in the event
of failure, brings the cast up to the
standard.
''Six or eight of the pillars designed
for the new Planters house had to be
recaSt in this way.

A TRIP TO EUROPE

Rev. Nj. A. Nordstrom has Words of
Praise for the Scott Medical Insti-
tute-Catarrh of the Nose, Throat
and Stomach.
Rev. NJ. A Nordstrom says: Il
am a clergyman residing at Wood
hull, III, and have frequently
thought l would have to resign my
charge. The cause of my trouble
was catarrh, and that in its worst
form, as | have been so informed by
noted specialists in Europe and
America. | grew very weak, had
severe headache, and spots would APP
pear before my eyes, mucus dropped
continually into my throat. and.
passing into my stomach, caused dis
tressing pain. l became deaf-in
fact so bad | could scarcely hear.
