 The barber Is German. He was much surprised at the question asked. Everybody knew that cupping was Q necessity. especially in the spring, he said. Sometimes. he added, he was so busy that little time remained for his shaving and haircutting of customers.
 'Ach. yes" said the barber, 'it keeps me busy man. How strange you say that you thought it no longer was practiced! People come here morning, noon and night. every day, but mostly do they come here in the spring and fall. It is then that the blood needs drawing off. If you have pain in your head. you come to me. take my little cup. burn the air in it out. push down my little knives just behind your ear, or the neck, and when the cup IS full I take it away. If your headacne Is no better yet I take another cup, so be 1t that the bleeding stop not upon the other side. Maybe your back pains. 1 cut you a little on the side. fout arms pain, IF draw the blood from your wrist" lisssEIoz J-s

 Twelve is the number of cups l draw at one sitting" the barber sac. Ut is a bad pain that will not be gone then, If you come again the next day with the pain I draw of more untii the ache has disappeared completely.
 The cups look like sherry glasses with the stems removed. The khile UT lancet is arranged like name staHp.

When the lncis'ohs are made in the neck too violent tap on the plunger mi yht mean the sever ing or .wounding of an artery. Pressure too light would not let the bool HOW fast enough. The barber must nave trained touch.
 IJpon the condition of the cup much depends. The air is exhausted py means of a tiny alcohol flame. This makes a vacuum. The cup Is presseo on lightly but firmly. The blood rushes un6ser the skin beneath its rim. Tnen like a flash the little knives are push ed down and the bleeding begins. The operator never takes more than twelve cups at one sitting. That would mean half a pint of blood.
 The system of bleeding for human ailments marks back to the earliest times. All through the Middle Ages IL was the healing balm for the suffer- ings' of mankind. The ancients 1irmy believed that the loss of bloood in this manner drew from their systems the ''noxious humors' which afflicted them: The advent of the modern school or medicine and surgery did away With the process as a universal therapeutic measure. It was not until the Nlne- teenth century was nearly hair com pleted however that physicians apan- doned it as a practice.

 After a brief conversation the big man leaned on the back of the bench as though not able to sit up, the little man went to his feet with spring. threw back his shoulders, and hurried to his victim Ten minutes later the ambulance arrived and the little chap loaded in looked as though he had been dragged through cactus re- serve.

This has been specially noticeable in the banking and money lending groups. and, and among manufacturing companies engaged Tn cotton spinning, coal, and the tobacco industries Cotton spinning capital was 3O,313,O 900 yen in 1899, the last year for which figures are available, and Tn 1895 only 1S,65S, ,000. Cotton weaving capital increased from 1.563,OOO yen to 3,976 900. In coal mining 14,24l,ooO yen was employed, against 100000 in lSSo. In tobacco, |, APO, 900 yen, against prac- tically nothing in 1895. Other big ln- creases were 4, ,757, ,000 yen to 7,O90, 900 yen in the electrical lighting industry, 2,OlS'- GOO yen in machinery manutactory ana 4.214,0OO yen in shipbuilding, the two last practically new industries. Sake brewing accounted for 6,13S,OOO yen' against ], 1922, 300.
 Far and away the greatest increase is, however, in banking and money lending, now responsible for 2Io, ven. against 79,3 ,000 yen in 1SS5, and' if tte figures are reliable, it is not sur prising that the necessary competition for business has resulted in disaster. Taking the various groups of 1olnt stock companies, we have the FOLLOW ing comparisons: Agricultural coIn- panies accounted for 2,2S7,6So yen m 1899, an increase of 765, 900 yen over the 1895 figures; commercial and financial accounted for S35, 5O3, 900 yen. against 9s, 796, 900 yen in 1895, an increase of 235,- ,00O yen; manufacturing, for l47.1SS.- 900 ven, an increase of SO,O55.0OO yen' and transport, sea and land, for 19S,- l47 ,O0O yen, an increase of lOS'lS6,OoO ven. It is estimated that the increase in the capital of joint stock companies in 1899. as compared with 1895. when the figures were roughly 249,SsS. .OOO yen. was 433, ,722, 900 yen.

!. A. R. Meeting of the Mobile
 Chapter.

Monday evening, May ZItn, the Mo- bile Chapter, Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution. held a most delightful meeting at the home of their regent, Mrs. Richard Clarke. The affair took for it's keynote and carried through its theme the pride and patriotism for the Stars and Stripes unfurled by Wash ington. The decorative theme and its attendant accessories were most law islaly and beautifully carried out. The reception suite of this hospitable home wns one brilliant mass of waving col- uFs Up the staircase and almost hid anr the handsome chandeliers were Htoclxades of American flags, and over the lace and silken hangings of the suite waved the proud colors A jun wle of red peoples and roses formed a pretty background for the gracious re- gent and the ladies who were on the nrogramme. Great white colonial can- dles burned in the sconces and candle Rhrum. while the soft gaslight was made softer and more rosy by dainty erfxnsOn shades.
 The programme began with the invo- cntion by Miss Thompson, after which skmer1ca" was sung by the Daughters aoined by the invited geusts. who rep nupented the culture and refinement of x2e old Gulf city. After the song Mrs. K. H. Clarke, the regent, who is one of those gently-bred women who link Rie old regime with the new, presented kfe Charter to the chapter. The speech of acceptance was gracefully made by Mrs. Charles Shawhan, after which came a piano solo skillfully executed hy Mrs. Harry .Iage. The remainder of the program is taken from an article in Tf- Sew Orleans Times Democrat, as the writer cannot inn prove upon it. she takes the liberty of ntsoting it verbatim el literatim:
 asAfter the piano solo came a sketch of Samuel Adams, most ably handled by Miss Mary Adams, a dainty, proud young descendant of Randolph Mrs. Wickersham then delighted the nssemblage with a spring song, and for an encore gave a beautiful lullaby. Her rich, melodious voice is exqusitely trained, and the last noets of the lullaby were soft as an infants sigh, yef perfectly distinct. Mrs. A. J.
