dor the Dlspatch)


The spark which started the slumber-

stamp-act which England endeavored 10
impose upon her Colonies In this coun-
try. This was a specific tax upon every
legal document, of whatever sort. used
in the Colonies after the 1st OF Novem-

paper was 10 be furnished by the British
Government; and Tor each sheet the
Colonists were required TO pay a sum,
varying according to the nature Of the
docum Mt to be written or printed, from

paper, the value of the stamps in this
case ranging from I'D 10 "A. Every
advertisement was taxed .. No con-
tract was TO be binding unless written
upon paper bearing the royal stamp.
These stamps were not like our present
stamps on letters and for revenue pur-
poses. but the stamp was indented In

amount Of tax surmounted by the Crown.

When the striped pole or sign, which now
indicates barber shop was employed to let
the public know where cupping or blood
letting was professionally performed, close
shaves were a daily occurrence-not the easy
removal of the hirsute or hairy adornment
Of the head and face, but close SLAVES from
entering eternity. More than one unfortu-
nate entered the barber-surgeon' doorway
to leave it a corpse or SO weak that weeks
were required to get the victim of NAL
practice on his feet. Blood-letting was used
for everything from a heartache to a corn, and
a pain in the loins was invariably treated
with two incisions-one ON each side of the
spine. Like plasters and liniments, these
helped from the counter irritation they
created, and we may presume that had Mr..
J. M. Townsend, head barber in Bliss
barber shop, in the Bank Building, Lebanon,
n. H., lived in the time of George Ill. OF
Eng and, in place of taking the course he did
a short time ago with his back, blood
letting would have been resorted to. Read
how he treated his trouble: "My kidneys
have been weak and sore ever since rails

on me and injured my back in some way.
There was a dull, aching pain over my loins,
especially If / over-exerted myself in any
