> BARRIERS In Europe.

ga sure way to break yourself OF the
habit of going to a barber shop to get
shaved is to travel in Europe" said a
man who has travelled. Il remember
that when | first went to Europe
thought that I would never be able to
learn to shave myself and that / was
helpless SO far as this was concerned.
I didn't nish my trip through Europe
before i took up shaving. and now
shave myself all the time. The barber
shops in Europe, except in England
and few of the larger cities, are the
worst of their kind in the world. There
are no modern conveniences and mighty
little of sanitary nature. The chairs
are uncomfortable, and the BARRIERS are
Indifferent about how they shave you
or what they do with you: They place
big bowl in your lap, and when they
have finished with you the superstition
is that you will wash your own face in
the bowl. There is none Of the little
luxuries we have over here in the way
of bay rum, witch hazel, hot towels.
hot water, etc. The American barber
shops are the neatest and cleanest in
the world, without exception. Wash

THE FIRST CHRISTMAS.

From the Gospel According to ST.
Luke, Chapter III, Verses 7-2O.
And she brought forth her firstborn
son and wrapped him in swaddling
clothes and laid him in a manger, be-
cause there was no room for them in
the inn.
And there were in the same country
shepherds abiding in the field, keeping
watch over their flock by night
And, 10, the angel of the Lord came
upon them, and the glory of the Lord
shone round about them. and they were
sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them: Fear
not, for. behold, L bring you good It'd
ings of great joy, which shall be to all
people.
"For unto you is born this day in
the city of David a Saviour. which is
Christ the Lord.
"And this shall be a sign unto you,
ye shall find the babe wrapped in
swaddling clothes, lying in manger."
And suddenly there was with the
angel multitude of the heavenly host
praising God and saying:
Glory to God in the highest, and on
earth peace. good will toward men,"
And it came to pass as the angels
were gone away from them into heav-
en- the shepherds said one to another,
LET US new go even unto Bethlehem
and see this thing which is come to
pass. which the Lord hath made known
unto u.s.
And they came with haste and found
Mary and Joseph. and the babe lying
in the manger.
And when they had seen it they
made known abroad the saying which
was told them concerning this child.
And they that heard it wondered at
those things which were told them by
the shepherds.
But Mary kept all these things and
pondered them in her heart.
And the shepherds returned, glorify-
ing and praising God for all the things
that they had heard and seen as it was
told unto them.

A LONG CHRiSTMASTIDE,
Holidays That Extend Into the New
Year.

While in this country. us in England.
Germany and other parts Of Europe,
the joyous spirit Of the Christmas fes-
tival is by no means limited to Dec.

in the life and amusement Of the peo-
pie both before and after that day IT.
self, comparatively little attention is
paid here to the observance of the
numerous designated holidays which
in other lands go to make up Christ
mastide. The period opens with st.
Thomas day, which falls on Dec. Fl.
and closes with st. Distaff's day, Oh
Jan. Z. The first named festival is
known in some parts of England as
"Doling day" on account Of the dis
tribution of the bounty of charitable
individuals, and in most English cities
at the present time the day is given up
largely to the anniversaries of chart
table societies and the distribution Of
is also the day chosen for the election
of church officers, custom adopted
here in some denominations. and it
appears also from the old rhyme that
certain public officials were elected at
the same time:
My masters ALL this is st. Thomas day,
And Christmas now can't be far off, you'll
say.
And when you to the ward notes do re-
pair
hope such good men will be chosen there
AS constables for the ensuing year
AS will not grudge the Waterman good
strong beer.
AS for st. Distaff's day. which closed
the merry round of Christmastide, that
anniversary is now rarely observed
anywhere, but in the good old times in
England it was not the least among the
happy festivals of the year. 1t takes
it's name from the fact that on this day
it was the custom for women to re-
sumo for few hours their labors at
the distaff or the spinning wheel. It
was sometimes called "Rock day. in
honor of the rock. which is another
name for distaff.-Leslie's Weekly.

Mexico's Hot Pepper Sellers.

The hot pepper seller of Mexico is
a merchant who derives his livelihood
from the fact that the Mexican must
have his peppers, whatever else he may
deny himself. They are brought to his
door by the countryman. or he may go
to the market place and find them
spread out for sale on mating. The
market man, while dressed inexpen-
sively as far as his bodily garb is con-
cerned, wears in nearly every instance
an elaborate head covering.
Some of these Mexicans own hats
that cost as much as the rest of their
wardrobe. The pride of the white man
in his panama is not to be compared to
that of the Mexican in his sombrero.
It is a racial characteristic which finds
it's counterpart in the apron Of the
Portuguese onion seller. Her occupa-
ton may be lowly, but her apron might
be that Of a woman of higher degree.

XMAS A DAY OF TERROR,
Hard Lines of the Players Who En-.
terrain Theater Crowds.

Hard Lines of the Players Who En-.
terrain Theater Crowds.
In the vaudeville houses where con-
tfnuOus performances are given Christ
mas day strikes terror to the most
time hardened dramatic soul.
The doors open anywhere between
$50 and 1890 a. m. and close at about
midnight The headliners play their
customary two turns, but those lower
in the dramatic scale play ION de-
mand," generally about four times. If
an act is particularly weak. it is used
to "chase" out the audience-in plain
house and making room for the line
waiting in the lobby
The low salaried vaudeville actor,
therefore, eschews any Christmas din
ner and HES himself to the nearest
quick lunch counter there to feast on
turkey sandwiches, execrable coffee
and pie as heavy as his spirits. By
the time he has done his last turn on
the stage he is more ready for bed than
for the festive board.
To the unsuccessful actor Christmas
is likely to bring that blessing of the
Rialto, a turkey date"
Scattered within easy access Of New
York are numerous small cities, or,
more properly speaking, towns where
good shows never come. OF these the
catchpenny manager keeps list, and
on quick notice he scours Broadway
for cheap, unengaged talent, from
which he organizes his company, re-
hearses it hastily in some playhouse
conveniently idle at the time, rushes
some cheap printing upon the poor, un-
suspecting town and lands there
bright and early Christmas morning.
The population, show hungry, well
comes the holiday diversion and packs
the town hall, matinee and night.
The actors are thus assured of a
good Christmas dinner and supper and
a percentage of the box Office receipts
Usually these are divided according to
the Importance of the roles played by
the actors. This will tide them over
until New Years day, which brings an
other turkey date"
Many an actor now featured on
Broadway has played his share of
turkey dates" One in particular tells
how, with five associates, he put on
'The Clemenceau Case" not abashed
that the cast called for no less than
twelve capable actors, and was quite
radiant over the returns of lone Christ

chocolate. The best and most Christ
maslike feature of this meal was that
we were allowed sufficient quantity
Of it to satisfy the pangs of hunger.
Our enjoyment of the dessert, one cup
of chocolate, we tried to prolong as
much as possible. Over it we told each
other Christmas stories. We exchanged
"reminiscences of bygone Christmases
at home with the loved ones so far
away. We discussed the probability
of our ever reaching our own fresides
again, and we entered into an agree
ment that if we got back to civilization
before another Christmas we would
pass the day together in memory of
that awful Christmas we were then
spending in the realm Of the relentless
ice king. Alas, many of those brave
fellows never lived to see another

CHRISTMAS "BARRlNG OUT"
A Strange Custom of SchOOlbOys and
Teachers.

A Strange Custom of SchOOlbOys and
Teachers.
Barring out" was one of the Christ
mas customs greatly in vogue in Eng
land three centuries ago. 1t is GUS
tom that obtains not only in England,
but to some extent in our own country,
to this day, although it is not particu-
larly a Christmas custom in our coun-
try. Barring out" was the keeping OF
the teacher or master out of the school
house until he yielded to such terms
as the boys of his school chose to die
tate. If the boys were able to keep the
teacher out of the schoolhOuSe for
three days and nights he was bound by
all the laws of the custom to come
to terms with the boys and to grant
them all that they demanded in the
way Of half holidays and abbreviated
lesson hours and extended recesses.
If, on the other hand, the teacher out
witted the boys and regained posses
sion of the schoolroom, the chagrined
pupils were bound to submit to such
terms as he chose to dictate. AS these
terms usually included the severe
trouncing of all the boys having any
thing to do with the barring out of the
teacher, the boys were on the alert to
keep him from defeating them. More
than one Christmas time of rejoicing
has been turned into time of weeping
and wailing on the part of boys whom
some barred out teacher has defeated.

The Memory Machine.

Amnesia, or loss of memory. is chiefly
interesting to the psychologists as
throwing some light on the nature Of
memory itself. A perfect act of mem
DRY consists Of three distinct acts-pres-
ervation or fixation of certain states Of
the nerve cells, reproduction of these
and, perhaps most remarkable of all,
recognition of them as reproductions in
their relations. Morbid states Of the
memory may refer to any Of these
phases Of an act which is as marvellous
3,OOOOOO,OO0 nerve cells in the sur
face of the human brain. They never
die in health. and they are never re-
placed or added to. This is memory's
machine.

The Lilies.

Two thousand years ago it was sup
posed that water lilies closed their
flowers at night and retreated far I'm.
der water, to emerge again at sunrise.
This was Pliny's view, and it was not
impeached until the English botanist
John Ray. in 1858, first doubted its
veracity.
The great lily Of Zanzibar, one of the
grandest of the lily family, opens its
flowers, ten inches wide, between II in
the morning and 5 in the afternoon.
They are of the richest royal blue.
with from $50 to 200 golden stamens
in the center, and they remain open
four or five days.
It is not generally known that there
are lilies that have nocturnal habits
night bloomers as well as day bloom
ers. They are very punctual timekeep-
ers, too, opening and closing with COM
mendable regularity.

The DiIettante Society.

An interesting old organization which
formerly existed in London-the Dilet-
tante sOciety-originated with certain
gentlemen who, having Travelled in
Italy, tried to encourage at home what
they had enjoyed abroad. This society
of lovers of the fine arts lasted 100
years. Walpole does not seem to have
looked upon it with a very favorable
eye, for he says, 1.-THE nominal qualifi-
cation was to have been to Italy; the
real one was being drunk

of October we ensconced ourselves in
little hut at Cape Sabine. Our sup

we were on very short rations, every

Under these depressing circumstances
and amid the awful silence of the

continued to maintain was remarkable.
1t would have been splendid oppor-

specially depressing situation in life to
