morning that he had received a letter
from Mr.. Hatch asking him whether
there is a brave barber" in Rich
mond The carnival company in ev
cry city invites some barber to enter
the wild animal arena to shave the
trainer while he is surrounded by
lions and tigers. Rarely, if ever, a
knight of the razor accepts, and Mr.
Hatch in sending word to Richmond
said that he believed that there might
be several tonsorial artists here with
temerity enough to pass through the
ordeal. In one place where a bar
Der showed sufficient courage to en-
ter the den, he became SO nervous
that he carved piece out of the train
er's ear, and the sight of blood almost
set the wild beasts frantic The
shaving was dispensed with and the
trainer and barber had some difficult
ty in leaving the arena. Any Rich
mond barber, however, who desires to
try his hand, should make his desires
known to the Druid's committee at
once.

attempt to get free medicine on the
plea of poverty that deserves place
in the catalogue of good stories of
graft. A middle aged woman ap-
oeared the other day and got pre-
scription, after which she took her
place in the line of persons waiting to
have their medicine made up by the
apothecary. This particular woman,
1t should be said, had given satisfac-
tory answers to all the questions put
to her designed to show whether she
was a proper subject for charity. Sud-
denly there was a cry: I'm robbed!
I'm robbedv' The victim was this
woman, who so far forgot her previous
professions as to assert that her
pocket had been picked and that the
thief had got away with 500. Then
she lost the opportunity to get free
medicine, thus adding, in her view,
insult to injury.-New York Post

I No bird is so easily netted as the

mounts perpendicularly. This char
acteristic propensity to ascend at once
may be observed by any person who
"treads up lark in a field and salts
factorily illustrated by releasing, at the
same moment, a newly captured lark
and a sparrow from a cage or hat
within the precincts Of room. While
the sparrow will fly off horizontally.
dash himself against the window and
lie almost, stunned from the shock, the
lark will almost always mount up
ward to the ceiling and fiutter there
for a time in vain efforts to reach
che sky before he attempts any other
mode of exit; but this habit is fatal to
him in the netting season. He would
generally be able to escape, as indeed
the bunting or clod bird, the sparrow
and the linnet constantly do, by flying
straight fofw ard; but ascending, as ,lc
does, directly from the ground the mo
