They were very cunning. though

street was called in which they board

so close to them in the hustle that

a little business of his own to do. and
that if the other would wait for him he
would soon rejoin him. His companion
demonstrated with him. and reminded
him that they had resolved to stick to-
gether. Drebber answered that the
matter was delicate one. and that he
must go alone. | could not catch what
Stangerson said to that. but the other
burst out swearing. and reminded him
that he was nothing more than his
paid servant. and that he must not pre-
sumo to dictate to him. On that the
secretary gave it up as bad job. and
simply bargained with him that if he
missed the last train he should rejoin
him at Halliday's private hotel: to

be back on the platform before eleven,

Experiences of Men Who PatrOnize the
BARRIERS.
There is story told OF a French
nObleman who, when he had been
shaved in the morning, always heard
the man mutter Thank Heaven!" on
leaving the room. He inquired the
cause. 1T is the money, my lord, you
always leave on your table over night
(for he was gambler). Every morn
ing | say to myself: L must cut his
throat and am truly thankful to have
escaped the temptation" After which
confession the nobleInan shaved him
self. 1t is quite extraordinary how
many people-and even poor people
employ BARRIERS to shave them. partly
from consciousness of their own clum-
siness C'What do you give the man
who shaves you?" inquired some one
of Macaulay. Several cuts on the
face" was his reply, but chiefly from
their inability to strop the razors. If
there is an industry that makes use of
old strops with cuts) shall be happy
to supply them at wholesale prices.
That there is no machine for stropping
razors speaks volumes for the power
and intelligence of the BARRIERS COM
pany.
Nevertheless, for man who has al
ways shaved himself the employment
of another person to do it for him
seems for the first time. apart from the
humiliation Of being taken by the
nose, rather a serious business. One
wishes to make great friends with him
to start with, but the usual methods
are closed to us: genial conversation is
out of the 1uestiOn-all the soap is on
his side-and we daren't offer him
liquor. 1t is the greatest confidence
trick known to man. The performer
may be an expert. or he may not; but

these gentlemen must have been new

Year.

Year.
When the figures are footed up on
June 80 and the fiscal year of 1891
has ended its record will be a most I'M
usual and painful one. The receipts
of the government will be found TO be
nearly or quite 5000. 900 below its
actual and necessary expenditures. the
importations nearly or quite $500, OOO.-
600 less than in the preceding year,
and the expectations more than $780,
coo, 900 below high water mark. In the
matter of government receipts there
has been something of a falling off in
internal revenue, but the loss is large
" in the matter Of custom receipts.
The importations of merchandise.
which in the preceding year were $780,
O00, 900. will this year be about $780,
OOO, 900.
This will bring the importatiora
down to a lower figure than in any
fiscal year since 1856. Indeed there
have been but two fiscal years since
1881 In which the importations have
been as light as this year which is
about to end. A part of this falling
of is due to the general depression IN
business, the unwillingness of people
to expend dollar for anything they
do not absolutely need, and it thus
comes more apparent that this coun-
try is capable of producing nearly ev-
erything that its people do need if they
only chose to pa.ronize home indus
