 and Pass Examination.
 The Austrians take no chances with their barbcrs. They must be good, and the BarbCrs and Wigmakers' union of Vienna secs to it that they are Provi- sion is also made ill their code for wom- ell barbers who desire to carry on the business of their husbands ill case of the latters' death or illness.
 But ill order to do this the wife must have been enrolled i'll the union as an apprentice for three years. Apprentices, by the rules of the union, must appear ill Vienna ill the presence of judges of the union and show their skill before they are allowed to open shops of their own.
 A properly certified barber must have 8 knowledge of and pass an examination in shaving, hair cutting, hair curling and w1gmaking, and during the period before the issuance of a certificate the poor and others who are frugal serve as subjects for experiment.
 At the examination the young men have their razOrs dulled by four strokes in pine plank, and they must then sharpen them. A subject is assigned to each, who must be tonsorially perfect, in the opinion of the judges. when the apprentice has released him.
 After this a certificate is issued and the apprentice serves two years as a journeyman before he may open shop as an employer. The average age of ap- prentices when they begin to learn their trade is 13 years. Louis Post-Dis- patch.

The former class might as well accept their freckles as a dispensa- tiOn of providence, for nothing can be done for them. The latter can always get rid of their anliction by using a couple of drachns of sal ammoniac with an ounce of German cologne, tho solution mixed with a pint of distilled water.

From Defeat to Victory.

The defeat Of the democratic
panty in the recent presidential
contest is By no means so over
wheiming as the republican defeat
Of 1892, says the Atlanta consti-
tuition.
Four years ago Mr.. Harrison re-
ceived, in the electoral college,
only l45 ont Of a total Of 444 cleo
toral votes. Notwithstanding this
disastrous failure, however, and the
gloomy outlook which confronted
the party at that time, a reversal
Of judgment came within the next
two years. In 1894 the democratic
majority in congress was converted
into mere handful of members,
the relative strength Of the two
parties in the lower house being l05
democrats and 244 republicans
Speaker Crisp was forced to sur.
render the gavel which he had
welded with such distinguished
ability and fairness, to the old enc.
my of the party, ex-Speaker Reed
From the triumph Of 1894 it was
only another step to the triumph
Of 1896.
| What the republicans have accom-
| pished during the last four years
the democrats may likewise accom-
plish during the next four years
The republican party is now or
trial as it has never been at any
former time in its history. Witt
the entire machinery ofthe govern
ment under its control it must either
stand or fall by the record it makes
Four years hence the people Of thi
country will demand of the party
a full account of its stewardship.
Unless its pledges to the people
are redeemed and & season Of pros
perity succeeds the present era 0
depression under the single golc
standard, the democratic party vii
regain its lost authority in the ma
ton, to surrender it no more at tn
bidding of the money power.
By possessing ourselves wit
patience and remaining true to tn
great principles on which the part,
has relied for success in the recen
campaign the defeat Of our cause 0,
/, last Tuesday may yet be converte'
into a glorious triumph in 1900.

Capt. Haynes in Trouble.

For "a number of years Cap. Dan
Haynes of Maiden was claim agent
of the Cotton Belt system, his juris-
diction extending from Pine Bluff,
Ark, north to Cairo. His business
was to settle all claims for damage
on account Of stock killed, fires, etc.
In the course of a year he handled
thousands of dollars. He was re-
moved from the position nearly a
year ago. AT the time there were
vague hints of crookedness, raised
and false claims. The road detec-
tive, 0. X. Wheeler, spent six
months following Capt. Haynes
tracks. The first public result of
the investigation was civil suit
brought in Dunkhn county several
weeks ago BY the railroad company
against Capt. Haynes to recover
about $4,000 that he is charged
with getting from the company t.
pay false or raised claims.

ton held on Tuesday is that Bryan,
having handsomely carried his own
state, will be sent to the United
States senate. There may be here
and there few narrow and embit-
tered minds to whom this will
be unpleasant news, but we have
no doubt whatever that two-thirds
Of the republican party will be as
honestly glad to hear it as the
stanch and fearless democrats who
were inspired by his leadership.
New York World: Mr.. Reed
has three good reasons for not
wanting to enter the cabinet. First,
he can and will be reelected speak
er of the house, which has grown
into far greater position than any
cabinet Office; second, he is can
didate for president in 1900, and d
cabinet position is not a good place
for cultivating a presidential boom;
third, he would not take a place
that would bind him to subordi-
nate his own ambition to the am.
bitiop to his chief.
Chattanooga News: Bryan's pat
fiotism and greatness were never
better illustrated than in the mes
sage Of congratulation which he
sent Mckinley.

Baby Knew What She Liked.

They were discussing matrimouy at fash
ionable suburban seminary for young ladies
the other day, together with that kindred sub
ject, the honeymoon.
81" said Lola, should like to go to Italy
for my honeymoon"
'And l." said Mabel, would prefer
Brighton"
Then the discussion became general and
all the girls named the places they would pre-
fer for honeymoon purposes. There was
plenty of variety about the selection, which
ranged from Scotland to the Mediterranean
from the Isle Of Wight to Norway.
The only girl who did not join in the dis
cussion was sitting down at the end of the
room. She was rather younger girl thar
the others, and one conjectured she had no
yet begun to think Of matrimony. But wher
at last the talk began to flag, IL seemed tc
the other ghEs that Baby" as she was al
ways called, had not yet delivered her opln'
ion. She was promptly surrounded and the
question put.
"Oh," said Baby, pouting her little rec
lips as if she would be kissed there and then
81 am sure shouldn't care bit where
went as long as there were plenty of tunnels
1t was certainly Curious that the other girl
hadn't thought of the kissing side OF tn,
question,
