GOOD } ! AIN D B D LUCK
TO De MET in THE BARsER.s
CHAIR. SAYS W. WRITER.
Bad Omen 70 Have the Towel Drop On
the Neck -Qassr Superstition About
Succeeding . Negro In the Chair
shave Chin Fist s

There are scores Of superstitions con-
nected with the BARRIERS chair which
many people believe in implicitly. Bar
bers will tell you that your luck for
an entire day may be made or spoiled
by the way you are shaved. A bar
Der who hopes to please nowadays
must not be an artistic barber, but
we'll informed on all superstitions.
Many men who are perfectly rational
on most subjects have superstitious
fear of the ill-luck Of the barber 8
chair. These superstitions vary con.
siderably in different cities. It is a
common belief. however. that for q
barber to lather the face with a sim
gle stroke of the brush inevitably
brings bad luck. Many people will
sharply abuse barber who makes this
mistake. Another omen is that II a
man takes barber's chair Immediate
ly after a negro has vacated it he will
be badly cut while being shaved. 1t
is not uncommon to see man wait
some time for another chair rather
than expose himself to this danger. It
is considered very bad luck to see a
hunchback in a mirror standing or
passing back of one. This omen Is
said to foretell death in the family.
There is quite as much good as bad
luck to be encountered. To be shaved
by red-headed barber. for instance,
is believed by many to be sure cure
for rheumatism. There are several
red-headed BARRIERS in New York who
have kept customers for long time
on the strength of this superstition.
1t is also comforting to remember that
to be accidentally cut twice on the
same side of the face in one shaving
will insure good luck for some time.
Should this be done intentionally,h how
ever, the charm is completely lost. It
is we'll to remember that If one con-
tinually sits with legs crossed in the
barber shop the hair is likely to come
out early in life, making man prema-
turely bald. The habit. which is a
common one, should, therefore, be re-
formed before it is too late. A very
bad omen is to have the towel about
the neck drop out before one is shaved.
This catastrophe indicates that one
will be cut soon by a BARRIERS care
lessness. You cannot be too careful
about having your chin shaved before
the mustache. If you persist in having
the upper lip shaved first you will

American railroads carry in year
the great total of 1000 ,000, 900 tons of
freight. It is common belief that
the chief freight Of American rail-
roads is grain. and that the earnings
of the various roads are dependent
largely upon the harvests Of cereals.
Indirectly this is true, for large harv-
ests at remunerative prices mean
money to farmers for other articles
which railroads transport, but, actual

the transportation Of grain are less
than from other articles Of freight

COLLEGE EDUCATION.
College-Brsd Women Seem well-Eauipped
for LifeS Work.

College, Bred Women Seem well-Equipped
for Lifes Work.
Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer recently
summed up the advantages of college
education for girls as follows:
1. The four college years are better
for health, present and future, than the
same years spent in ordinary domestic
and social life.
2. Marriage after %, rather than
earlier, is generally a gain, both to
mothers and children. and is more
likely to produce happy results.
3: Whether married or single, COL
lege-bred women are showing them
selves responsible to the needs about
them. In modest country conditions,
on western farms, in eastern mill
towns, in hardworking parsonages, in
overcrowded schoolrooms, in college
settlements, in mission stations, often
bearing their own expenses, in city
charities, in the use of wealth and in
fiuence. Having freely received they
freely give.
Whether girl shall go to college
or not is matter of individual choice
for her to settle as conditions shall de-
eide, but the college is a great factor
in making a well-rounded life, we'll
poised character.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

Women who do not look lovely In a
wet bathing suit will eagerly adopt a
notion which is, being advocated by a
society Of hygienists in London. That
is that. generally speaking, sun or
air bath is much better for health than
an ocean dip. THE truth u.s." says an
English doctor, 'the popular idea Of
sea-bathing is absurd. It is 80 far
from being everybody's tonic that in
many cases it is a menace to life. The
dip that even frail women heroically
force themselves to take, believing it
Is the right thing to do, is too severe
shock to nerves and systems unac-
customed to sudden or violent exer-
tions." In place of sea-bathing the
London hygienists recommend air or
sun baths, taken lying on the beach,
says Harper's Bazaar. 1t is fact es-
tablished in medical science that mere
exposure of the body to the air pro-
duces physical changes that go far to-
ward counteracting the degenerating
effect of civilized life. The course rec
commended, therefore. by this latest
health fad is to lie at ease on the sand.
bathed in sunshine and fresh air. and
afterward have thorough rubbing
down, which process further invigor-
ates a worn body. Happily for those
who are poor in purse as we'll as in
health this fresh-air cure may be
taken without the expense of travelling
to summer resorts.
A wonderful new hospital has Just
been built in Paris which promises to
make revolution in the world of
medicine. 1t was the dream of Pas
tours life. and, strangely enough.
few days before his death the large
funds necessary for the purpose We're
offered anonymously to this great man,
so that he had the pleasure during his
last days on earth of knowing that one
of his dearest ambitions would be full
filled. The hospital is now nearing
completion and stands opposite the
Pasteur Institute. The building con-
sists of isolated blocks Joined by un-
derground corridors.
There is beautiful winter garden
and summer garden for the patients.
The whole system is worked on the
plan of "disinfection and isolation"
On entering the hospital the patient
has bath. Having been put into hos
pital clothes, he then gets into bed, in
which he is wheeled or taken by
lift to an isolation room. The
room he has just left is disinfected; so
are his clothes. Each block contains
twenty-four rooms containing one bed
each and two wards for convalescents
with twelve beds. The air space of each
room is thirty-nine cubic meters in
stead of the regulation thirty. At the
present moment diphtheretic patients
and persons bitten by rabid animals
are being treated, but the hospital is
not by any means to be confined to
these cases when the entire building is
complete. 1t is splendid memorial to
one of the most wonderful men the
world has ever seen.

To Talk Across the Ocean.

Through the insertion of inductance
coils into the electrical circuit, Profess
sor Pupin. of Columbia University, has
greatly increased the efficiency of long
distance telephony through cables. The
insertion of the coils enables the cable
to transmit 5000 times as much cur
rent as it is able to transmit without
them. With an experimental cable
thus provided, it has been found pos
slble to carry on a conversation dis
tinctly at distance of $50 miles. BY
applying the principle to oceanic ca
bles. it is believed that telephone mes
sages might be sent to and fro across
the Atlantic. 1t would also greatly in
crease the rapidity with which ordi-
nary Geographic signals can be trans
mitted by cable. The principle is like
wise applicable for extending the range
of telephone communication over aer-
ial wires.

The Size of Sound Waves.

Lord Rayleigh, in discussing our
ability to tell the direction from which
sound proceeds. calls attention to an
interesting difference between the eyes
and the ears with regard to the size
Of the waves that strike them. The
average wave-length of light is about
one ten-thousandth of the diameter of
the pupil of the eye. On the other
hand. "the waves of sound issuing
from mans mouth" says Lord Ray
leigh, ARE about eight feet long.
whereas the diameter of the passage
Of the ear is quite small, and could not
we'll have been made large multiple
of eight feet" One consequence of the
minuteness of light-waves in COMPARE
son with the size of the eyes is that
the lenses of the eyes are able to con-
centrate rays of light upon the retina
with great efficiency.

ELECTRICITY Used In Dyeinc Cloth.

Among the more recent tasks i'm
posed upon that busy new servant of
man, electricity, is the acting as an as
sistant in the operation of dyeing.
When cloth soaked in aniline sulphate
is placed between two metal plates
connected with the opposite ends of a
dynamo, and an electric current is
passed through it. the sulphate is con-
verified into aniline black. By altering
the strength of the solution and of the
current, shades varying from green to
pure black can be obtained. In the
case of indigo, the cloth is impregnated
with paste of indigo blue aud caustic
alkali The electric current converts
the insoluble indigo blue. by reduction
OF oxygen, into indigo white, which is
soluble, and on being exposed to the
air becomes oXidized once more and
turns blue, thus thoroughly dyeing the
cloth with that color
