Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1901-10-26

A Persian barber works In a 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 a
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 amputatlng limbs, strong
combs. but not a hairbrush, for that
implement is never used by Persians.
From the BARRIERS girdle hang a
round copper water bottle, his strop,
and n pouch to hold his Instruments.
In his bosom Is small mirror, the
presentation Of which to his customers
Is sign that the job is finished and
that the barber waits for his pay. The
barber shaves the heads of his custom
ers. dyes their boards. pulls their teeth,
blisters and bleeds them when ailing,
sets their broken bones and shampoos

Strange Lapse of Memory.

Cases of forgetfulness Oh matters OF
interest are on record. While DR.
PricstIey was preparing his work en-
titled Harmony Of the Gospels" he
had taken great pains to inform him
self on subject which had been under
discussion relative to the Jewish Pass
over He wrote out the result Of his
researches and laid the paper away
His attention and time being taken
with something else, some little time
elapsed before the subject occurred te
his mind again. Then the same time
and pains were given to the subject
that had been given to 1t before. and
the results were again put on paper
and laid aside. So completely had he
forgotten that he had copied the same
paragraphs and reflections before that
it was only when he had found the
papers on which he had transcribed
them that it was recalled to his recol.
lection. This same author had fire.
quently read his own published writ.
ings and did not recognize them.

CITIZEN ARMY FOR AUSTRALIA
New Federation Taking Steps to Pro.

The idea of a citizen army for tho
Australian Commonwealth is taking n
very strong hold of a large section of the
people, writes the Melbourne CORE
spondent of the London Express. The
scheme which seems most likely TO no
adopted, is that formulated by Brig
Gen. Gordon, commandant of the Sonth
Australian forces, under which every
man who is physically fit and between
the ages of IS and 81 will be taught to
shoot, will undergo an army training for
a certain number of weeks every year
and will undertake to join the ranks of
the Federal Volunteer army whenever
