BARRIERS ARE BUSY MEN.
Customer Asserts That They Take
Hsnareds of Strokes Every
shave.

The man with the whiskers like a
stable scrubbing brush Strengthened
up in the barber chair at big down
town hostelry one day not SO very long
ago, and after the genial barber had
squirted some confined air into his
hair, ears and nostrils, said to the
white-coated manipulation of the
razor:
"Young fellow, you look as II you
might be pretty smart man. Now,
in shaving me, how many strokes do
you think you made with your razor?"
"Oh. l don't know. l am sure" re-
piled the barber, relates the Chicago
Chronicle.
''Well, give guess. l didn't ask you
to tell me just exactly how many. I
only want you to tell me how many

well. presume about $50. or pos
sibly 1885,"
"You are good guesser. l don't
think" replied the man in the chair
IF l should break the news to you alb
ruptly you would have fit. SO will
just give you re first figure. That fig
ure is seven.
"Then I was too high? ! made only
rs strokes" answered the tonsorialist.
"fou made just 757 strokes"
The barber gasped.
THAT'S just what you did. and if
you don't believe ii you ask somebody
to count the next time you shave a
fellow. | hardly ever get shaved now
when l don't count the number Of
strokes a barber makes over my face
It's never lower than $50. and many
times the number is even more than
you have made to-day. count strokes
only when you make downward move
ment with the razor"
"Hulie gee CALCULATED the barber.
Il shave about 35 persons day" Then
he picked up a piece of paper and be-
gan to figure. I'm goin' to strike,
that's cinch. Too many strokes for
me. If | count 600 for every person.
| that makes 21.000. All that for two
dollars. Nit. I'm goin' to paste bills"
The barber counted the number of
strokes he made on the next customer
and when he reached 775 he stopped
although he knew he had not done a
good job.

THIS COUNTRY's ARID AREA,
II II Larger Than the Domain of some
Of the Nations Of the
Earth.

The arid region of this country is
larger than the entire area of some Of
the nations of the earth, says writer
in the Saturday Evening Post. 1t in
cludes portions of Montana. Wyoming,
Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and
New Mexico, and smaller portions of
North and South Dakota, Nevada,
Kansas, Texas, hundreds Of thou
sands of acres in California,
two-thirds of Oregon, one-third Of
Washington. and almost all of
Idaho = altogether a total of over
100000 square miles. enough, in fact,
to accommodate one-half the people
of the United States when the land Is
made productive.
To allow all this splendid country to
go to waste would be contrary to the
spirit of practical nation.
All this arid land needs is irrigation.
Already large part of it has been con-
verted to fertility by the artificial sup
ply of water. Gradually and strongly
the experts of the government have
urged upon congress policy of assist
ance which will convert many of these
acres into fertile fields. In this way
the suggestion has come that to the
river and harbor bill there shall be
added provision for storage reser.
voirs in the far west. If it should be
done land that is now of no practical
value would be worth $40 or $50 an
acre. and thus il happens that far
western influences are openly in favor
of the proposition. Something like
S5,ooOooO is the first suggestion in tbs
way of the new departure.

FACTOR IN WORLDS POLITICS.
The New Federation of Australia
Must Hereafter he Con-
sidered.

Australia is to Great Britain the
most valuable of all her colonies,
writes Hugh NJ. Lusk, in the North
American Review. The external in
fuence of Australia in the South Pa
cific is bound to make itself felt be-
fore long. Those who know Australia
best will have the least doubt that
she will find means ere long to use
that influence for purposes beneficial
to herself. Her people were far from
pleased with what was done in the
case Of Samoa; and it Ia safe to say
that no such policy of concession will
ever command the assent of united
Australia. The sphere of her first
interests will. for the present, be con-
fined mainly to the Pacific and Indian
oceans to the south Of the equator.
She will be interested in the Loyalty
group. where France is esta ablished.
and in the New Hebrides. where she
is very anxious to establish herself.
She will be solicitous about the Sol
omon islands, part of which are at
present recognized as German terri
tory. and she will take a very deep
interest in the future Of New Guinea,
part of which belongs to Germany.
and the rest, beyond the British sec
ton, 10 understood to form part Of
Hollands great but little used estate
in the eastern archipelago.
These will undoubtedly be Aus
tralia's first care, but she will not be
content with these for very long.
Siam. French and southern China
and Borneo are natural marts for her
trade. which in The next ten years
will be rapidly increasing one. and.
in relation to all these, she will ex-
pect to exercise large influence.

FAKE HAIR PREPARATIONS

Many hair preparations are fake

They often cause dryness, making the

druff is the cause Of all trouble with

makes cuticle scales as 1t digs to the
root OF the hair, where it destroys the
