A Barbarous Proposal.

It has been said that all great men
shave themselves. If so it is safe to
state that all great men are not popu-
lar with BARRIERS. This was exempli-
fed in the recent meeting Of the Mas
ter BARRIERS Association of New York
State, in which one delegate proposed
to bring the man who shaves himself
to time by refusing to give him a hair
cut. Then in the language of this
delegate, the individual who prefers to
cut himself and dig out his own whisk-
ers by the roots would be compelled
to cut his own hair too"
This starts the New York Mail on
the warpath in this fashion:
Probably it would be very good idea
for men to cut their own hair or to have
a member Of their household do it for
them. This should come easily within the
scope Of feminine aptitudes. A woman
who can cut out a dress after a prescribed
pattern and attend to her own multitu-
dinous tresses should be able to trim her
husbands scanty hair.

that much Of the badness is due to
the barber, because Of the microbes
with which the shop abounds To this
view we can scarcely subscribe, be-
cause it is we'll known that some men
become bald through thinking too much
and wearing the clinches off the roots
Of their hair.
Any man who remembers as a boy
having his hair "bobbed" off in a
scraggly line with a dull pair of scis-
sors, who recalls having a hair cut that
looked like stair steps all over the back
Of his head or reverts to the glad time
when he had a large bowl or crock in
verified over his Uranium, after which
all the hair that protruded was trimmed
to fit the bowl, will hardly welcome
the suggestion Of homemade hair cuts.
But he will also rebel against the die
tum that he cannot shave himself If
he wants to. Rather will he raise
whiskers and look like Russian.

The Need of the World.

The world suffers today from mate
halism and selfshness. To correct
these a spiritual awakening is the
supreme need. The divine touch that
makes US gentler and more human,
that renders us more considerate Of
the rights and feelings Of others-this
Is the touch we lack We spend our
lives pretty much in a mad chase for
baubles. crowding and hurting each
other on the way, and know not that
they are baubles till the race is run.
Material possessions are very well in
their place, but they should not be
permitted to usurp the place of the
more important things of life Char
acter, truth, honor, justice love, faith,
righteousness, good deeds to others
these are the things Of real worth,
beside which the value of the worlds
wealth fades into insignifcance. The
trouble with this age is that it places
too much emphasis on eyternals These
should not be despised, but neither
should they be unduly exalted They
are but the incidents of life, not the
essentials. They are the servants Of
man, not his masters. Money, fame,
position-we have made these things
our gods when they are only tools for
service. The need of the hour is to
get things in right proportion again, to
cease permitting the material to crowd
out the spiritual.
It is time for the secular press to
sound this note, as we'll as for those
papers more strictly classed as re
ngious publications. Life is one thing,
and truth is awhole. Nor can we divide
the responsibility of speaking for
truth. Every voice should be raised
for the higher, sweeter and better
things for the noble and holy, for the
pure and helpful, and every one should
dare to speak against the spirit of greed
and selfshness that has been permitted
to create discord and false standards
in the world.
The need Of the age is a spiritual
awakening, bringing with it a deeper
religion, patriotism, honor and love of
truth.

The nihilists are charging that the
new son Of the car is a fraud, the
czarina having given birth to another
daughter and the infant son Of peas
ant woman having been substituted
therefor. The reason given for this
remarkable step is that Russia is in
terrible straits and the announcement
of an heir to the throne was necessary
to revive the dropping spirits and flag
