premiership.

From the New York World.
The Austrians take no chances with
their BARRIERS. They must be good. and

Vienna sees to 1t that they are. Pro-
vision is also made In their code for
women BARRIERS who desire to carry on
the business of their husbands in case
of the latter's death or illness.
But in order to do this the wife must
have been enrolled in the union as an
apprentice for three years. Appren-
tices, by the rules of the union. must
appear in Vienna in 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
a knowledge Of and pass an examina-
ton in shaving hair-cutting. hair-curl.
ing and wig-making. and during the
period before the issuance Of a certil-
cate 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 a 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 q certificate Is issued and
the apprentice serves two years as
journeyman before he may open shop
as an employer. The average age Of

1T RAINED A TERRAPIN.
Fact Cited to Prove That Fish Drop
from the Skies.

A terrapin about as large around as
a silver dollar was the subject Of good
deal of talk in Valdosta the other day.
and the same terrapin has come near
settling IL the minds Of some people
the theory that fish. frogs and the like
are often rained down in severe storms.
During the heavy rain Of last Friday.
according to the Macor Telegraph, the
terrapin fell in the STREET between
Middleton's shoe store and Davis beef
market 1t was seen to strike the
ground by two men in the shoe shop and
by Mr.. Davis little boy. There Is no
explanation as tc where II came from
except on thc theory that II rained
down. and the question now is was
that really the case.

tion.
The other morning Mr.. Chanute. A. NJ.
Herring, William Paul and William

Lake train for Millers, thirty miles
south of the city. The natives had their
curiosity highly excited by the enor-

friends went to little hotel and left
their personal belongings. but had the
other things conveyed over to the beach
