The BARRIERS calling is supported by
government. What if his little squat
razor only covers an inch or two at the
time and makes the operation unneces-
sarily tedious. He has the advantage
of knowing that he represents lawful
authority. He ought never to suffer
from being out of work.
Then his perquisite, the combings,
makes up for natural deficiency. He
can sell at clear profits tails Of his own
collecting and making. Perhaps the
fact that Chinese hair offers little vari-
ETY. in color simplifies this article Of
commerce. The more sable the better.
Children's heads are shaved in order
that it may be as black and thick as
possible. Black is much more cheerful
A Chinaman plaits white silk into his
hair when he goes into mourning.
Tales of a tail might be multiplied.
The Chinaman's is more expressive
than any that has not the power to Wag
with satisfaction or droop with dismay.
For convenience in work it is fastened
up in coil, but for man to speak to
his superior without letting it down is
an insult. No Christian would enter
church In this dishabille. A stranger
might possibly do SO, and in such a
case, before beginning the service, the
officiating minister would fix him with
glance and politely-for the natives
expect politeness under all circum-
stances-address him, "Sir, will you
kindly let down your tailT-Quiver.
Respectfully Referred.
AS The Green Bag has it, Chief JUS
tice Marshall used to narrate with
great glee the following correspond
ence on point of honor between Gov
ernor Giles of Virginia and Patrick
Henry. The governor wrote:
sir-r understand that you have called me
bobtail politician. I wish to know If It be trus.
and, If true, your meaning. W. r. GILES
Patrick Henry's reply came promptly:
sir-I do not recollect calling you bobtail
politician at any time, but think 1t probable that
have. can't say what did mean, but II you
will tell me what you think meant will say
whether you correct not. Very respect
fully, PATRICK HENRY.
This was leaving 1t to Giles with o
vengeance; but, as there was no fur
Their correspondence, the governor OF
Virginia must have read satisfaction
somewhere between the lines Of Pat
rick Henry's brilliantly equivocal re-
ply.

A DARK OUTLOOK
FOR THE YOUNG MAN WITH
WEAK LUNGS.

Time and again we see young men
just arriving at their legal majority,
or having barely passed it, suddenly
stopped in career full of promise.
Disease has laid its hand on the lungs
He who never took a thought for him
self must be careful now. He must be
careful about food and drink, careful
about his clothing and his exercise. No
more late hours or night air. No more
athletics. His lungs are weak He
has an ominous cough. He has fallen
away in flesh.
When that cloud Of consumption falls
on young mans life 1t darkens every

Reading Character By the Nose.

you can almost tell persons char
acter from the nose alone" remarked q
scientist "All great men have great
noses. The Greek nose. which has no
protuberance, but Is straight, argues
great sense Of aesthetics. of beauty, but
no character and no power Of conten-
ton
Large nostrils show courage People
of fearless disposition breathe fully
and freely. All the fercer animals
have dilated nostrils. The dropping
nostril shows histrionic talent If the
nose also droops, 1t denotes a tragic
power. and If only the nostril capacity
is marked for the Interpretation Of
comedy.
Where the nose Is thin at the bridge
it shows generosity, while nose that
is thick at the bridge argues acquisi-
tiveness. When 1t is tiptilted. like the
petal of a flower, the person Is inquisi-
tive. A projecting nose argues dispo-
sition to investigate. 1t is ahead of the
person. as it were, and wants to scent
out things"

The White Pine.

According to Professor Spaiding. the
white pine tree seldom attains height
greater than 100 feet or diameter Of
more than 10 inches. A tree Of this va
riety once measured by the division Of
forestry of the department Of agriculture
was ITO feet tall and 48 inches thick.
The tree was 400 years old. 1t was a
little sapIing 30 years before Columbus
sailed from Palos.
1t is not an easy tree to propagate, so
many of the seeds being unfertile. 1t
does not, as a rule. produce flowers and
cones until 1t is 10 or 20 years old. Dur
ing the first decade Of its life 1t will grow
about one foot every IL months, and 1t
grows a little faster till maturity. A
tree 20 years old ought to be about %
feet high, and at 80 or 10 years of age 1t
ought to measure about 60 feet.

The firm of Swan & Arkell, Liver

owners, and each and every one of their
ships was launched on the 18th Of the
month. Each one started out on her
first voyage on Friday, and when it
came to the fifth ship she was launched
on a Friday, the 18th, named Friday
and began her voyage on Friday.
Though the other ships had all been
lucky, there were people and newspa-
pers that thought the firm were carry

ship. This did not prevent her from
getting cargo and crew for Valparai-
