Origin Of Barber Poles.

An English gentleman of letters has
recently evolved from the musty pages
of history some new aud exceedingly
interesting data regardin G the origin
OF the gaudy barber pole. Its first be-
ginnings, this gentleman says, were in
the days of the barber-surgeons. In
early times, the tradition goes, both
medicine and surgery we're in the hands
of BARRIERS, as indeed they continued to
be for many centuries afterwards The
old theory was that the men of the
razor we're the worthiest to handle the
lancet, and even in the Middle Ages
the lancet was the one great instru-
ment Of medicines as blood-letting was
one of the chief practices of the time.
In the days of old, during the opera.
ton of bleeding, the patient used to
grasp stick, which the barber-sur-
geon kept ready for use, that the pain
might be lessened, in just the same way
as in the days before chloroform was
invented people undergoing a severe
operation frequently chewed lead bull
let's. Around this stick was twined a
supply of bandages for tying up the
arm Of the patient When not in use
the pole was hung at the door as a
sign. In the course Of time painted
staff was displayed insteud of the one
actually used during the operations.

Tiny Birds as Passengers.

Numerous incidents have been re-
cited showing how the larger and
stronger animals have assisted and
protected smaller and weaker ones.
Among the birds, however, there is
a practice which is just as interesting
as any of the acts of consideration
performed by animals A striking in-
stance OF that is shown on the CONT
nent Of Europe.
For small birds to attempt to fly
across the broad Mediterranean
would, because of the inadaptability
of their wings and powers of endur-
anee, be impossible. To reach a warm
er climate through Asia Minor, Syria
and Palestine would be quite as GER
tain to result in their death.
Through the kindliness of the crane,
however, the small birds are enabled
to reach the warmer climate with lit
tie effort.
When the crane is about to migrate
it flies in wide circles close to the
ground, uttering loud and peculiar
cry, as an alarm, that can be heard at
a great distance. The small birds rec
ognize it as a call for them and they
Immediately fly to the crane and take
mp position on the cranes back.
When he has all the passengers he can
carry comfortably, the crane starts on
his long journey. Arrived in the warm
south lands, the small birds fly from
the back Of their friend, and are safe
for the winter. New York World.

And now for the third time a sud-
den shock made MSdge's heart beat
fast. What was this?
Running up the street toward her
came a queer, little white figure. Its
feet made no sound upon the pave
ment It's little robe hoated and Aut-
tered. Nearer and nearer it came,
running on. Then a big lump grew
in Madge's throat She knew not what
it wasi Suppose she had not been
there TO meet the little white figure!
For it was baby Marianl
Couldn't find you-all over"
the baby stammered, creeping into
Madge's arms Everybody all

Madge picked her up, and somehow
got inside the front door with her.
Then she broke down, aud cried and
trembled with the baby in her arms.
Happily, just then, the carriage drove
up, and father was in time to help her
upstairs, for Madge needed carrying
as much as the baby. And, by and
by, mother came into her room, and
Madge, ashamed and weeping, told
her 'all about it"
Late that night, Madge heard father
laughing in the next room. He said:
$50, she sat by that deserted old
car-track-to save train-did she?
And she met tramp, you say? And a
ghost? Poor childl Well, she needn't
be punished for running away. She's
been punished enough. "
Certainly she did not wish to be
punished; but as shivering Madge
listened to him, she did think father
was not very sympathetic. After all,
she had been in time to save the
baby New York Independent.

President TYLER as Roadmaster

When president Tyler stepped out
aud became citizen the voters Of )
Virginia county, where the express
ident resided, in order to annoy,
elected him to the post otroadmaster.
He accepted and began his work by
ordering every planter TO send a gang
to "work" the road bordering his
plantation. That was unusual; for
the planters had been permitted to
leave the roads to the care Of time and
weather They wrote the ex-presi-
dent, says the Youths Companion,
requesting him to resign. He an-
swered: Gentlemen, my rule Of duty
is never to decline an Office, and never,
having accepted it, to resign. You
will please work out your road tax, or
1 will see that it is done and that
you pay for doing it." They worked
out their road tax.

Electric ToothpuIIlng.

Electricity is now employed by
dentists in extracting teeth. To the
battery are. attached three wires.
Two Of them have handles at the end,
while the third is attached to the
forceps. The patient grasps the
handles, the electricity is turned on
suddenly, and the dentist simulta-
neously applies his forceps to the
tooth. The instant the tooth is
touched, as well as the surrounding
parts, becomes insensible' to pain.
