Partisan BARRIERS.

The sanitary authorities of Paris
have induced the perfectof police to
issue stringent instructions to bar
bers, informing them that all metal
instruments must be plunged direct
ly after use into boiling soapy water.
All combs of tortoise shell, ivory, or
celluloid must be replaced as far as
possible by metal, so as to be more
easily clesnsed and disinfected.
Scissors, razors, clippers, and
brushes must be heated to one hum
dred degrees centigrade, or placed
in a receptacle containing a pre-
scribed chemical solution, before
use. Shaving-brushes must be dip
ped in boiling water Instead of
powder-puffs, blowers must be used.
Finally, hairdressers must wash
their hands before passing to
another customer.

The Chronicle should not get
reckless. 1t should trust to the
healing influence OF time to cicatrize
the wound made in its hopes by the
defeat Of annexation. Such a poul-
tice as its editorial anger makes will
inAame the sore spot. 1t has said,
among other enraged and lurid
things, that the labor organizations
don't know what they are talking
about, that the "annexation treaty
extends our humane labor laws to
Hawaii and substitutes freedom for
slavery" etc. Well, if that is so,
the labor organizations are in the
distinguished company Of President
Mckinley, who says in his message:
"What the conditions OF such
union with HawaiD shall be, the
political relation thereof to the
United States, the character OF the
local administration, the quality and
degree Of the elective franchise to
the inhabitants, the extension OF the
Federal laws to the territory, or the
enactment OF special laws to fit the
peculiar conditions thereof the
regulation, if need be, of the labor
system therein, are all matters which
the treaty has wisely relegated to
Congress-"
The Call has said that somebody
is being cheated, either the planters
OF Hawaii or the white labor of the
United States. The Chronicle lies
mad at this, and with congested
face and corrugated front raises an
apopletic shrek OF "You liel"
Will it tell frankly whom it is try.

labor that the treaty Extends our

not2 Why not tote fart The plot
stands exposed. Shah Dole and his

Asiatic labor, and he says he believes
we will give them separate law to

labor.
We don't think the Chronicle will
deceive anyone but its clients, whom
it may deceive into the belief that it
can deceive white labor in this State.
But white labor is not like its de-

Spanish Cocks.

In one respect the Spanish peas
ants are ahead OF the rest OF the
world. They have learned to make
cocks hatch eggs aud look after the
chickens, while the hen, being at
liberty, can and does lay more eggs
than she would il hampered by her
maternal duties. The trick is per-
formed in this way: They carefully
pluck the feathers off the ROSTERS
under-side, and the bare skin is then
irritated with nettles until infam-
nation sets in. The cock soon finds
that the pain caused by this cruel
process is mitigated by warmth and
softness, and this makes him willing
and eager, although for purely sell
FISH reasons, to hatch brood and
let the little chicks sit under him.

Crazy Cycling Women

From America come reports Of
some crazy cycling performances by
women. One account is Of two
women cyclists who have started for
Klondike from Boston, and expect
to get there in the spring. They
will try to gather recruits on the
way, and have ideas of opening a
big hotel there for wheel folk. An
other gives particulars Of three
hundred mile race in twenty.four
hours, in which five OF the 81 COM
petitors were women. Two OF them
completed the journey in the time,
and third fell, and was ridden
over by her fellow competitors, who
do not seem to have stopped to help
her. One OF the successful ladies,
who was, OF course, interviewed, ap-
pears to have been a cheerful speci-
men of her sex. She informed the
interviewer that she felt elegant"
although she had not slept for two
nights, and that she had no COM
Function in riding over Miss Clarke
who fell, as the excitement of the
run put all sentiment out Of the
question. 81 love my husband best,
and my wheel next" added this fe-
male cyclomaniac. "My husband is
captain of the club. We have no
children. l can keep house, but
would rather not, as it takes me too
much from my wheel, SO we board"

fortunate that such a woman as this
is not blessed with family.-GlaS-
