effectual auietus on the attacks of the funny men. The great, sympa- thetic public will not permit irreVer- nnt attacks on so meritorious a class Inf citizens once it becomes general Iv known that bald headed men are immune from the faults and frailties of their brethren who are more liber- ally endowed with hirsute adofn- ments.
 Sad as is the conclusion, it is per feetly apparent that two fruitful top ics for the frivolous jest have been withdrawn from the field and 1t now behooves the high salaried testers ot the nation to overhaul their Joe Mll- lers in search of other themes " which to edify their readers. And the baldheads and the barbers, singly and in glad conjunction, may sound pacans of jGy at their escape from the comic supplements.

That there IS eXtfaOfdlndfy pros perity in this country is proven by feures furnished by Dunn's conner cia1 agency.
 The average selling price of pro ducts has zone up perhaps B per cent in the last decade.
 The cost of living has gone up even above the high prices of a year ago
 There is superstition that inven- tions and improvements in machinery and increased facilities for transpofta- tion bring a constant decline in prices.
 But the fact is that prices generally are higher today than they have been at any other time in the last 9 years,

JokEsmlTH's STOCK DEPLETED

Two severe blows have been launch. ed at the jokesmith recently and members of the humerists' union are confronted by I serious dcgletien of their stock in trade.
 From time immemerial tive of the subjects with which they were prone to let their festive fancy daily and around which the scintillations of their wit flashed with the greatest brilliancy have been the baldheaded man and the talkatiye barber Some times these topics We're treated sinely and sometimes, in moments of great intellectual cxaltation, the facetious para@rapher would combine the two into one grand side splitting, rib tick ling monument of humor
 The bald headed man is perhaps the older object of the two. Probably the earliest joke on record is about a haif headed man, and it dates back to time when barbers were not the nee essary evil which an enlightened civ i]ization has made of them. We re- fes to the anecdotc of the ancient He brew prophet who was admonished by the children of his neighborhood, to "go up, thou baldhead." and who subsequently arranged to have his tor mentors devoured by bears. This CT isinal bald headed joke, it will be seen, was a double action jest, work ing the laugh on both sides.
 The barbers. presumably, have fretted for long time in secret over being made the butt of the humor- ists' attack. It is conceivable that thev have been harassed in mind and depressed in spirit by the witticlsm perpetrated at the expense of their earrulity, but not until strong ana ririle organization was formed were definite steps taken to remedy the comes the pleasing news that the barbers' union of that municipality has taken action on the subject. An iron clad rule has been adopted, pro yiding heavy fines for members of the union who engage in chatty discourse with customers: unless the victim ot their tonsorial manipulations first breaks the conversational 'oe It IS but fair to say that this decision was only reached after a long and bitter debate. in which the more loquaclous members apparently made up for tie conversational deprivation whlch they were soon to undergo.
 But the result is inevitable. When this reform spreads, as 1t must III eyitablv. the barber joke Is wlpec from the map and becomes as If II had never been.
 The movement for the emancipa ton of the baldheaded man from the thraldom of the jokesmith originated outside the ranks of the unfortunates It comes from one of those London scientific societies which are so grea q boon to our civilization and whose researches sometimes eclipse tho most brilliant efforts of the profes sional humorist. This association was formed for the purpose of study ing badness. it's causes. prevention and cure. After profound cogitatiol and rumination over mass of data the society has reached the conelus ion that baldheaded men never be come lunatics or criminals.
 This information, If true, puts ar

New York, April 2.-The curator
and 10 keepers in Bronx Geological
Garden had an exceedingly lively
time yesterday when they succeed
ed by main force in preventing the
gigantic 25-foot python from starv-
ing himself to death. The snake
had not eaten for five months and
could not be coaxed to break it's
fast. Yesterday the curator and
his men prepared a meal for the
python. They killed and skinned
Eve rabbits, which they had tied
together in long string, one end
of which they fastened to 10.foot
pole. These details finished, ten
keepers dragged the snake out of his
den. The big reptile wriggled and
fought with inconceivable agility
and strength, considering the length
of his fast. At length 25 feet oi
snake was stretch out at full length
upon the floor Of. the feeding room.
Eight men held Mr.. Python down
and two rammed the entire meal OF
rabbits into the snakes stomach
and withdrew the pole. The snake
less quarrelsome than before, was
again carried into his cage.
This meal will last him two months.
