The Barber's Pole.

The origin of the BARRIERS pole, itself
almost now thing of the past, orlgl-
mated in the days of barber surgeons
when bloodletting was considered
panacea for most of the ills that flesh
is heir to. The pole was used for the
patient to grasp during the operation,
and a fillet or bandage for tying up the
arm. When the pole was not in use,
the tape was tied to it and twisted
round it, and then it was hung up as
a sign At length, instead of hanging
out the actual pole used in operations,
a painted one with stripes round it in
imitation of the genuine article and
it's bandages was placed over the shop.

A Polite Man.

A man was hurrying along street
one night when another man, also IN
violent haste, rushed out of an alley,
and the two collided with great force.
The second man looked mad, while the
poi:te man, taking off his hat, said:
NV dear sir, / don't know which of
rs is to blame for this violent encoun-
ter but l am in too great a hurry to
investigate. If 1 ran into you beg
your pardon; if you ran into me don't
mention it, and he tore away at re-
doubled speed.

AN EARLY AIRSHlP.

1t Was Built In England In 1885, but
Was a Failure.
We are told by Peter Farley, who
wrote as an eyewitness, that in Au-
gust, 1885, the Eagle was officially adj
vertised to sail from London with gov
eminent dispatches and passengers for
Paris and to establish direct communl-
cation between the capitals of Europe.
This early type of airship was 16o
feet long, so feet high and 40 feet
wide, and she lay in the dockyard OF
the AerQnautical society in Victoria
road, near Kensington gardens, then
quite a rural spot.
Built to hold an abundant supply OF
gas, she was covered with oiled lawn
and carried a frame Seventy-five feet
long and seven feet high, with cabin
secured by ropes to the balloon. An
immense rudder and wings or fins on
each side for purposes of propulsion
completed her fittings. The deck was
guarded by netting.
After all this preparation and adVer
tisement the Eagle never got beyond
Victoria road, for Count Lennox anc
his assistants failed to provide the
necessary motive power.
