BOLD VIRGINIA FOXES.
The Animals In buckingham County
Display Evidences of vicious
MaIady.

The gray foxes in Buckingham, one
of the best fox-hunting counties in the
state, seem to have gone utterly wild.
Some have urged that there is an cpl
demic of hydrophia among these ami
mas in that section.
They have for the past month bold
" attacked people on the roads and at
farmhouses, says recent Richmond
(Va.) correspondence of the Philade.-
phia Press. Old fox hunters who have
given the subject investigation are in
clined to doubt that the trouble comes
from rabies. They hold thatthe symp-
toms are not those of that disease
Whatever be the nature of the malady
the foxes have manifested holiness
and aggressiveness unknown to the
hunters of Buckingham or anywhere
else in Virginia.
Two little sons of b. w. Agee, in the
neighborhood of New Store, were at
tackled and followed to their home.
Not long after that fox went to the
home of Jackson Matthews, a colored
man, and, after hard fight with coon
dog, the inmates of the house came out
and conquered the animal without kill
ing it.
Some days later an old lady in the
neighborhood was milking in COW pc n,
when fox appeared and began to bite
the cows numerically about the legs.
The odd Lady armed herself with a cart
standard and placed herself upon the
defensive, but the fox outbluffed her.
chasing her up an apple tree, and freed
her there for an hour. Finally the
woman's son came with gun and
killed the fox.

SCIENTIFIC BARRIERS.
Turned Out by the Barbers' Colleges
Possess an Unusual Assortment
of Useful Talents.
JOHN SMITH,
Barber, Dentist, Dermatologist.


If the new methods of scientific
teaching instituted by the barber
schools prove a success such signs as
the above may become a common sight
in our large cities. 1t is the intention,
reports the Chicago Tribune, to unite
the oarbers' profession with that of
dentistry, and also to Undue the pupil
with knowledge of the physicians
art sufficient to enable him to treat
all kinds of skin diseases and to care
for the face so as to keep it in a healthy
condition.
In the future a barber shop win be
rated according to the college diplomas
it can display. Without leaving his
chair it will be possible for a man to
have his whisl1ers amputated, his face
washed and all facial blemishes cured
tough molar pulled. 1t is proposed to
have a tonsorial chair added to all the
leading dental colleges and to prefix
the title of Or" to all graduate bar
bers.
IF dentist has the privilege to call
himself DOCTOR" said one of the bar
Der professors the other day, why
hasn't a barber who has graduated
from reputable college the same
right? Any barber with ordinary in
tellect can learn to fiji teeth and pull
them in couple of months, and there
is more skill required in BARRIERS
profession than in that of dentist"
Dentists laugh at the new departure
of the professional BARRIERS and say
they are laboring under hallucina-
ton when they try to unite the two
crafts.
Already the science of massaging the
face has been introduced into many
up-to-date shops, and compressed air
and number of the latest mechanical
and scientific discoveries are brought
into use. A barber who is not derma-
tologist has no place in the scientific
shops of the cities to-day. 1t is the
custom to ask for the diploma of bar
Der who is in search of a position
among the large shops, and master
barber hesitates to give an applicant
a trial If he is lacking in this respect.
The classes in the barber schools are
divided into various, department.. and
recite lessons and receive demonstra-
tions from regular corps of COM
petent men. They practice what has
been gained in the lecture hall at the
poor houses and on the tramps, who
receive free treatment. According to
the circulars of one of the schools,
"they never kick" as they know that
it costs them nothing and it is one of
the conditions that no protest be
lodged If their eyelashes, instead of
their beard, are separated from their
anatomies, or the face is shaved clean
of skin and hair with the same opera
ton.
The mixture of hair tonics, dyes,
face creams and remedies to remove
pimples, blackheads and the like is
thoroughly taught and the systels as
whole is said to be so complete that
at glance the up-to-date barber can
tell if a bald head results from short
bed or sickness; can tell if man is
single by the way he has his mustache
trimmed, learns to know what nation
atty his girl is from the kind of toilet
water preferred, and how well of.
financially he is by the number of ex-
tras he uses.

Acquiring british industries.

1t is almost certain that still more
determined efforts than those which
have hitherto been recorded will be
made by American capitalists to ac-
quire the control of British industrial
undertakings. Firms who. are sound
ed with view of finding out whether
they are willing to sell their businesses
would do we'll to remember that the
Americans are in a sense acting un-
der compulsion, inasmuch as they haze
to dispose of certain amount Of api-
tai which they are unable TO transfer
to their own country.-Financial

DECoYED BY A SHE WOLF.
Michigan Trnpper's Foxy Method
of Getting Many PeIts and
Much Bounty.

For several months Wendelin
Krisch, trapper residing near Mes
toria, has at frequent intervals APP
peared at the county clerks office
with wolf pelts on which he has
been paid bounty of SIT apiece, and
in the aggregate has drawn large
sum. The success of the trapper has
caused much speculation as to the
methods he followed, the wolves be-
ing very cunning, stunning poison
and not often being trapped.
Now Krisch's secret has leaked
out, says Baraga (Mich.) report in
the Minneapolis Journal 1t devel-
oped that some months ago he man
aged TO catch a female wolf in
trap. He built a large yard near his
shanty and in it keeps the wolf, fast
ened to a log chain. Her howls
bring wolves for miles around, and
the trapper, sitting in his cabin,
calmly shoots them at his leisure.
In every section of the peninsula
wolves are reported unusually nu-
merous this year. The deer in con-
sequence are suffering, as the many
carcasses seen in the woods testify,
and lately even men have been at
tackled. Only day or two ago a
case of the latter transpired in
Dickinson county.
Claude Freckleton, employed as a
cook at logging camp, six miles
from Floodwood, started in the even
ing to walk to the village. When
half the distance he heard something
running toward him and, turning,
saw wolf close by. The man, not
being armed, was badly frightened.
The yelps of the wolf were answered
by others, and soon four other of
the animals had joined their compan-
ion. Freckleton luckily managed to
find a club, and thus armed began
backing away. The hungry animals
would circle around him and snap at
his legs, and whenever they came
near enough he would strike at them.
In this manner the three remain
ing miles were Travelled. Freckle-
ton expected every minute would be
his last, until finally when, just at
the outskirts of the town, the wolves
made a jump at him. The leader
was laid low with the club and the
man turned and ran to safety, the
wolves, frightened at the proximity
of the houses. giving up the chase.

To stamp out smallpox.

The health authorities of Ontario are
trying to keep smallpox out of the
lumber camps, where the disease
makes terrible rayages once it gets a
foothold Already the owners Of AZ
camps have arranged for medical at

buildings in which to isolate the pa

the other Canadian provinces. and the
precautions are well considered. - Chi
