A Persian barber works in style
very different from that in vogue in
this country. A typical shop Is a
square room, with one side open to the
street In the center is tiny bed of
flowers sunk in the floor from tie
middle of which rises an octagonal
stone column about three feet high.
The capital of the column forms
receptacle for the water in which the
barber dips his hand as he shaves his
customers scalp. In Persia they do
not lather. The shop is very clean. In
two recesses stand four vases filled
with flowers and the implements of the
BARRIERS art-scissors, raZors, lancets,
hand mirrors, large pinchers to extract
teeth, branding irons to cauteriZe the
arteries in amputating limbs, strong
combs. but not a hairbrush. for that
implement is never used by Persians.
From the BARRIERS girdle hang n
round copper water bottle, his strop,
and a pouch TO hold his instruments.
In his bosom is a small mirror, the
presentation of which to his customers
Is a sign that the job is finished and
that the barber waits for his pay. The

A writer states that oily hands may
be made comfortable and touchable by
wetting them once or twice a day while
clean with cologne, alcohol or toilet

method of obtaining this.
y writer upon the complexion says
the best way to treat freckles. a sure
cure in all but very obstinate cases, is
to touch them night and morning with
a camel's hair brush after dipping it in
lemon juice.
For greasy skin nothing is better
than the combination of an ounce of

water. Let the vinegar stand on the
rose leaves for week, then add the
rosewater. Use a tablespoonful in q

Professional Shoppers.

Professional shoppers are employed
by a certain large firm of London
diapers to test the abilities of shop as
sistants. This firm owns over thirty
large shops and employs nearly 1000
assistants. To find out whether every
customer is politely served a number
of lady customers are employed to call
at the various shops. They are told to
give as much trouble as possible and
sometimes to leave without making a
purchase after looking at nearly every
thing in the shop. Should the unfortu-
nate assistants temper not be equal

be said that might offend. report will

Priestley was preparing his work en-

had taken great pains to inform him

A NOVEL HOTEL BILL.
The Man to Whom 1t Was Presented
Could Not Understand 1t.

"Talking about bookkeeping there
used to be man in Yankton whose
system of bookkeeping accounts was
wonderfully efficient. He kept a hotel
and he could neither read nor write.
He did not know how to spell his own
name, but he did a thriving business
and collected every dollar of his ac-
counts. Once, years ago, when | first
came to this country, l went to his ho-
tel and stopped there two weeks"
writes NIlt Brinben.
"When left, he presented me with
statement of what l owed him, and 1t
was n curiosity, He had copied it from
his ledger, At the top of the sheet
there Was a rude picture of q soldier

Christmas Gifts For Women.

A pair Of silver or glass candlesticks
with rose colored shades will please the
woman who takes pride in her pretty
apartment. Equally suitable will be a
square Of silk or embroidered goods for
a sofa cushion.
Hatpins are always acceptable to a
woman. The dull gold beads set with
small colored stones are pretty, and the
large pearl beads are novel.
Buckles of gun metal set with emer-
aids or amethysts are very beautiful
and will bring delight to the heart Of
any woman who loves pretty things.
A pair of steel, gold or silver slipper
buckles make pretty present. A band
of satin in black or the recipients IA
vorite color should be attached.
An opera bag is good present for
the theater going girl. The newest and
handsomest are made of wide gold rib
bon spangled with gold or embroidered
with beads. Others are of silk in gayly
