wealthy woman who lives in my town.
One day she came to my rooms, and as
the tears coursed down her sad face she
managed to tell me between sobs that
she wanted q coffin that was covered
with royal purple velvet. l knew that
her husband had been i'll for some time
and was not expected to live. So be-
gan to offer word of coincidence on &C
count of his death, as she and her hus-
band were intimate friends of mine.
"'Oh, he is not dead yet, sobbed the
woman, but l want you to call at the
house and steal his measure while he is
asleep. want royal purple velvet
coffin, and it may take you several days
to fill the order.
II assured the fearful woman that it
would perhaps be impossible to fill the
order, as l had never heard of coffin
of any such description ever having been
on the market. She went back home,
and while the order was hanging fire
her husband began to grow better and
in few days was entirely out of dan
ger. He afterward recovered, and today
he is a strong, healthful man.
But that woman still insists that !
shall fill the order for a royal purple
velvet coffin for her husband, and, fur
thermore, she has given me another Or

called at a large coffin factory here

BARRIERS IN BRITAIN.
Frank Rufus Description of Dublin and
London Shaving Shops.

Frank Rufus Description of Dublin and
London Shaving Shops.
In Dublin the first class shops are
managed in the same way as the lead
ing shops of London, and most Of the
first class journeymen BARRIERS hail from
London, and they are paid what are
called London wages-that is, 35 shil-
ings week-but barber in order to
get those wages must also be ladies'
hairdresser. The cheaper shops only
pay their journeymen from 10 to 20
shillings a week. The first class shops
charge sixpence-that is, ~ cents-for
shaving and the same price for hair cut
ting and shampooing. The cheaper
shops charge only twopence, or cents,
for shaving, hair cutting or shampoo
ing. Some shops in Cork only charge a
penny for each. The first class shops
here turn out a customer just as well as
the BARRIERS in America, if not little
better, but would not let the cheaper
BARRIERS shave my dog.
Some Of the finest shops in Dublin
have our old fashioned chairs, and some
have just an upholstered chair, with a
headpiece attached. The cheap shops,
most of them, just use wooden chair,
and the barber wears dirty apron, but
in the finer shops they wear white coats
and clean white aprons. London has a
great many shops, but there are only a
few really good shops. Most of the bar
Der shops here are called toilet clubs,
and they are all located on the second
floor. They get threepence for shaving.
The journeymen BARRIERS get about 80
shillings week. A few get more, but
they depend largely on their customers
for tips. The best shave ever had in
London was in barber shop conducted
by lady. She employs five other la.
dies and charges threepence for shaving
and little extra for dressing the hair.
There are only about half dozen shops
in London which have modern Ameri
can chairs. National Barber.

Washington Sometimes Despondent.

1t is the fashion to speak of all who
have succeeded i'll writing their names
high on history's page as though they
never gave way to the temptation to be
Respondent. Yet if the facts could only
be known it is the very men who have
within themselves the ability to finally
win the victory that are apt at times
to become most deeply involved in the
sloughs of despond. Washington himself
was subject to periods Of the most in
tense depression, as witness this passage
from letter to friend, written at Val
ley Forge:
1.-The history of the war is history
of false hopes and temporary expedi-
ents. Would to God they were to end
here.
In another letter he said after most
gloomy recital of the reasons he had for
being low spirited:
''To me it will appear miraculous if
our affairs can maintain themselves
much longer in their present train"
But Washington possessed the power
of recovering from these fits of the blues
and of putting forth every effort, after
they We're over. as if they had never

secret of his filal triumph and his i'm

An interesting contri button on John

tbers of Donahoe's Magazine, from which
the following extract is taken: He could
see more beauty in a leaf or in curve OF

Through this medium Of crystal prose he
could make others see that beauty, but
not through the instrumentality OF poetry.

Literary tricks which change the poet into

shackles upon the feet Of the poet which
prevent him from climbing Parnassus.
Poetry seems to shackle Ruskin just as
acrostics tether apoet. Rhyme and rhy-

broad play Of his boundless powers. The
rich aff1uence of his artistic speech is not
of nature to keep within the laws OF

is only another way Of saying that lat, Mr..
Ruskin has not wooed the muses. success

could induce literary men to recognize
him as poet, nor should his admirers try

ago he himself had the good sense to dis
cover that he was not poet, and having
made that discovery he had the good judg-
