The Classical Barber.
From the washington Post.

''This a queer world,'' said j. E.
Whiteford of Chicago, and man runs
up against surprises at almost every corner.
The other day l was being shaved by a
good looking mulatto man in Washing
ton barber shop, and on talking with him
found that he was graduate of a uni

Homer and Eurpides and was well versed
in the higher mathematics. | asked hin
if he was content after acquiring such ar
education to work in the business he wai
pursuing. He said that it was a case Of
necessity, and, much as he preferred /;
more lucrative employment, there wa
nothing else open to him, and | went ava,

Snuff Dippers.
From New York Press.

Passing through Lowell the other day
with companion we'll informed generally
| remarked ''IIere is the center of the
snuff dipping habit in the United States. =
He was astonished 'Do you mean to
say snuff is used in Massachusetts, p he
asked II thought it habit confined to
the Georgia crackers and the poor whites
of North Carolina. then explained
that in the State of Massachusetts every
year the mill hands-mostly women and
young girls-use sixty-fve tons OF snuff
for dipping, securing, chewing and pinch
ing. The powder is sold in one-ounce tin
cans, which retail at 10 cents. Thus We
have 130, 900 pounds, making 2,080, 900
packages, which at 10 cents cost the op-
eratives $208, 900.
While we have always associated the
use of snuff in this country with the very
dregs of humanity in the South, let us
glance at the city of Lawrence, Mass,
where are located such mills as the Pacific,
Atlanta, Cotton, Washington, Everett,
Peaberton, ETC. population about 46, 900.
The nil girls are French Canadians and
Armenians, with a sprinkling of Ameri-
cans, Irish and English. In summer,
groups of them, from 16 to 20 years Of
age, go across the river and sit for hours
along the banks indulging themselves with
the snuff and rag. They consume over
twenty tons of snuff annually. Lawrence
is only twenty miles from moral, pure,
holy Boston.

A PRAYER.
BY ELLIS PARKER BUTLER.

Protect me, Lord from these thy saints the sancti-
monious few;
Oh save me from their clutches when my mort
cages come due.
Oh put me not into the hands of these the men of
woe,
Who call this earth ''vale of tears" and try TO
make it so.
Oh guard me from the blue-nosed good who lend
at cent per cent;
And take thousand-do dollar lien for ninety dollars
lent.
Make me, instead, the debtor of some man with
human taints;
At any rate protect me Lord from these thy modern
saints
Their thoughts are far from mortal life they never
never sin;
They strive to bring to righteousness the very
they skin;
They never go a step astray: they never deign to
smile;
They sin not and they only aim to castigate the
vile
But, Oh! why should they count it best with cold
and holy arts
To rivet sheet-iron shields around their hard and
Their ears are deaf enough God wot to pleadngs
and complaints,
And so l pray protect me, Lord, from these thy
modern saints!
Oh save me from the sanctified, the too uncommon
good,
Who tell what we shouldn't do and preach us
what we should;
These saints who squeeze dollar twice and wear
cheap aureoles
Will take our children's bread and then attempt to
save our souls!
Give me, instead a worldly man with some few
healthy stains.
That show he has the common blood of mankind
i'll his veins.
And heart that swels enough sometimes to over
throw constraints
But, in my need, protect me, Lord, from selfap-
pointed saints.

Seals, Salmons and Sea Lions
From the Portland oregonian.

4. X. Peterson, who has been fishing
in the Fraser river, says that the pack of
fish there and in Alaska is large, and that
the cannery men have really more fish
than they know what to do with. On the
Sound fishing is still going on, and the
amount of second grade fish packed will
be enormous Mr. Peterson says the
fishermen on the Fraser river and in Alaska
attribute the increased amount of fish
caught yearly to the killing off of the seal
herds by pelagic sealing As the fish
seem to be increasing instead of diminish
ing, notwithstanding the vast quantities
caught, there may be something in this
theory. The hair seals, which frequent
the mouth of the Columbia, eat salmon
and kill lots of them, and probably the
fur seal does the same. A good, healthy
seal should eat a salmon day, or two or
three of the bluebacks they catch in the
Fraser and in Alaska.s The immense herds
of seal which go up to the Bering Sea
every year consume vast numbers. IF the
herd of sea lions which have their head
quarters at seal rocks, just south of False
Tillamook, were exterminated, the num-
Der of fat Chinook salmon coming into the
Columbia would be greatly increased.

The purchase of fertilizers can be made

AN ENGLISH COLONY.

The Buena Vista colony, established
under contract with the Atlantic Rail
way, and the River Plate Loan and Trust
Company, of London, secured eight hun
dred thousand acres of land few years
ago for colonization purposes. As usual
with our English cousins, they wanted
everything in sight; but, although their
concession of land was so much larger than
that granted to any other company, they
seem to have done less with it, so far as
immediate and apparent results are con-
cerned. The company admits colOnists of
all nationalities, except negroes and
Chinese, and each promising family is given
literally of fertile lands, as near as possible
to the railroad line or the centres Of popu-
lation of the Republic Most Of the set
tiers, wisely for health, selected localities
at an altitude from 5000 to 5000 feet
above sea level; but some of them are in
the Matina valley, busy, prosperous and
apparently happy, in the cultivation OF
bananas
Then there is the German colony of
August Gussler, on the Costa Rican Island
of Coco, in the Caribbean Sea, not far
from the mouth of the Matina River He
began with so German families on his
small island. According to contract, an
area of one square kilometre was reserved
on which to build their towns, and the
rest Of the territory was divided into lots
of 16 hectares each, arranged in such a
way as to allow Mr.. Gussler to have one
lot, the Costa Rican Government the next
lot, and so on alternately. :,
Another fourishing colony, established
by wealthy native, Senior Don Eusebio
Rodriguez, upon some islands of his own,
on the Costa Rican side of the Nicaragua
Inter- Oceanic Canal, are devoting their
small farms chiefly to banana growing.
Senor Rodriguez was granted for certain
time the use of S125, 900, advanced by
the Government, together with many i'm
portant privileges.
Besides all these, private individuals are
invited to come and settle in Costa Rica,
independent Of any colony or company, to
engage in any business they like-agri-
cultural preferred; and are offered special
inducements in the way of Government
! land, immunity from taxation, etc.

st. Louis, Sept. THE First Mis-
sour volunteers are back again in
camp at jefferson barracks. 1t would
be hard TO find finer, harder body of
men than those boys of the First.
They actually look biggerand stronger
than when they marched from the
armory to take the cars for the bar
racks four months ago.
There are no stopped shoulders. no
pale faces, no delicate-looking men in
the lot. They are rougher and shah
bier looking than they were, but they
have the unmistakable air of health
and vigor. Many of them went away
boys and they have returned men. And
one remarkable feature is they are not
complaining. as people had been led to
expect they would. st. Louis is proud
of her boys.

The Syren was thrown almost on her
beam ends. The steamship promptly
backed out and continued on her
course out of the capes at full speed.
without attempting to ascertain the
damage she had done, or to render as.
sistance. The captain will be proceed

FOREIGN NOTES OF INTEREST.

The national hymn of China Is so
long that the singing of it occupies
half day.
Austria, whose navy is a practical
joke. has one admiral and two vice adj
mirals.
With only half as strong n feet as
the English, the French have i,341 lieu
tenants and subIieutenants. while
England has only 1.246.
Private bull fights are occasionally
given by the very rich people in Mad
rid. and guests are invited to them as
they would be to a dinner.
The music sung in ST. Peters, at
Rome, is entirely in manuscript. No
vocalist or musician is permitted to
have his part in his hand unless while
he is actually performing it.
The mosque at St. Sophia, in Con-
stantinople, is remarkable, among
other things, for the fragrance OF
musk. which continues through the
ages, though it is never renewed.
At Sunday entertainment in the
City of Mexico two lions, one al time,
were pitted against a bull. The bull
easily vanquished the lions, tossing
them and goring them until they lay
helpless in the arena.
Some of the Partisan theaters give
gratuitons performances three or four
times year. They are intended for
poor people, and those who are first in
line are usually at the doors hours be-
fore the house is opened.

coast monkeys are now almost ex-
tinct, and last year the colony could
collect only 67G60 monkey skins,
whereas four years ago 16s,4o5 skins
were exported.
The smallest and oldest sect in the
world is to be found in the small city
