BARRIERS and Hairdressers.

shops were made to look more comfortable
than elaborate. The use of the pole was
general among them, some shops having
large poles white and red striped set at
the curb, as well as on each side of their
doors, and sometimes the more patriotic
added a blue stripe and surmounted 1t with
liberty cap. While it is known that the
red and white pole is emblematic of the
knights of the razor, comparatively few
are aware that the barber of oden time was
also surgeon, given to the practice of
bleeding, and the red and white pole was
suggested by that fact. The patient of the
barber-surgeon was required to firmly grasp
a pole when he was operated upon that the
blood should flow more freely. The pole
would soon be stained red and the custom
was to wrap it with the swathing bands
and suspend it over the door as a sign.
Thus came into vogue the conventional bar
bers pole. In the seventeenth century the
BARRIERS In England were to use a pole of
white and blue and the surgeon the same
with the addition of a red flag and GALL
pot Some essayed dentistry or tooth pull
ing, and made known their accomplishment
by displaying decayed molars, etc, on
strings in their windows, and not a few in
the mother country were also musicians
Thus barber, hairdresser, surgeon, dem
fist and musician were often found in the
same individual, and 1t need not be said as
a class they can entertain a customer with
the gossip of the day.
The BARRIERS of America followed those
across the water in the art of entertaining
and some of the knights of the razor in
this city probably excelled the English bar
bers in punning and practical joking. In
deed, the stock in trade of some of the
Washington BARRIERS consisted of their wit
ticisms to large extent. But few, how
ever initiated the Englishman by keeping
a public house, but many, in addition to
displaying the conventional pole, essayed
a couplet or two. In England one adver-
tised:
Here lives James Wright,
SLAVES almost as well any man in Eng
land;
AlmoSt-not quite.
And one who shaved and served liquor
admonished the public to
Rove not from pole to pole, but step in
Where naught excels the shaving but the
beer"
Here then appeared after the Mexican
war and in the presidential campaign which

Not rough. but always ready
To shave for ftp; cut hair for levy"
The Zip was the five-penny token, six
and a quarter cents. and levy the half
shilling, twelve and half cents.
Sign for Cigars.
The painted effigy of an Indian or darky
was the popular sign of the dealer in
''segars, tobacco and snuff in this country
but in England when the weed was in
troduced by Sir Walter Raleigh, his por-
trait became the favorite sign of the deal
ers. He was further honored by the motto
on the wrapper:

OF Interest 10 Fruit Growers, Gardeners
and tiOrticulturisis OF Southern
Indiana

That Southern Indiana posses
ses rare advantages in soil and
climate TO grow the best fruits
and melons, has been known for
for some time TO those who have
given the subject study, and per-
sons of observing habits who.
have visited the county and State
fairs. have been surprised at the.
good size. fine color and good
lquality of fruit grown in this
region. At the Paris (France)
and the St. Louis Worlds Fairs,
fruits from Southern Indiana
were awarded gold medals, be-
sides. at the latter. many silver
and bronze medals. All this
goes to show that this region is
lunexcelled in soil and climate for
this purpose, and when we take
into consideration the additional
advantages of cheap lands and
good markets. we have combin-
alton Of favorable points which
cannot be excelled In the face
of all this. scarcely anything is
being done to take advantage of
these favorable conditions. The
resident people are seemingly
indifferent to them and outside
parties who have money and in
ltelligence TO invest do not know
'of the fact. The Indiana Horti-
cultural Society desires to make
