Austria shares the doubtful honor
with Turkey OF having a goverDment
tax ON each newspaper printed In or
introduced into the country, and the
privilege with Russia of prohibiting
the sale OF journals In the streets. The
removal OF this unpopular tax on
knowledge has been matter Of con-
stant agitation and promises of n
speedy reform have been made by the
present government. The obstruction-
ist policy OF the opposition In Parlia-
mcnt. however. has rendered the pros
pect of Legislation ON this point hope
less. at least within any measurable
space of time. The Social Democratic
party has. nevertheless. taken very
pronounced position in the matter, and
Is agitating for nm abolition OF the OBJ
ncxious laws. AT the head of the pres
ent movement are many compositors,
who fear that the number OF the en-
ployed will be cons ,derably reduced
by the pending Introduction uf compos-
ing machines unless in the meantime
the existing tax Is removed.-London

SURPRISED BARBER.
Who HAD Reasons for Not TaIkinx
About Dnndrun.

New Orleans Times Democrat:
Wearing wigs has not gone out of
style by any means" said New Or
leans barber who has an eye for the
oddities OF the trade. The only
reason why we don't notice so many
of them is that they are made a great
deal better than they used to be. Why,
even the BARRIERS get fooled now and
then. and when the customer neglects
to warn them some funny things hap
pen. The other day u gentleman came
into the shop to get shaved. The bar
her finished the job without noticing
anything unusual. and as he laid aside
the razor he sprung the usual chest
nut: i notice good deal Of dand-
ruff is accommodating on your scalp he
said. and II you don't look out you'll
begin to get bald That seemed to
tickle the customer and he grinned
from ear to ear. oh! guess I've got
hair enough to last for a while says
he. still griuning. You have plenty
now says the barber, but with all
that dandruE 1t will soon commence
to thin out. Better let me give you n
nice shampoo AS he spoke he ran
his hands through the gentleman's
hair and gave 1t two or three hard
rubs, and upon my word the whole
thing came of just as II he had been
scalped. All he had left was a
fringe over his ears and around the
back of his neck. The poor man yelled
murder and the barber stood there
paralyzed. holding the wig in his
hands and his eyes sticking out like
hat pegs. He told me afterward he
was never SO scared in his life. Since
then he hasn't said word about dand-
run"
