THE DIFFICULT TASK.
Combing the Particular Mans Hair
Brothers the Barber

Combing the Particular Mans Hair
Brothers the Barber.
DO You know, one of the most diff
cult things in this business" said the
barber as he ran the comb through the
hairbrush, lis the matter of combing a
customers hair. 1t is rather singular
fact that you will find few BARRIERS who
have succeeded in solving the problem
of combing customers hair just as he
wants it, no matter how long the man
may have been patron of his chair.
Ot course there are few men in the
world who do not care whether their
hair is combed at ALL With this class
Of men, of course it doesn't make much
oifference how the barber combs the
hair. But at least ninety out of every
hundred men who patronize barber
shops are very particular about the
way you comb their hair unless you
have inspired them with an extraord-
mary confidence. Unless, in fact, they
have a better opinoin of the BARRIERS
Judgment than they have of their own,
the barber will miss the mark when he
come to put the finishing touches on
the hair. The reason for this is not
altogether matter of vanity. There
are great many men whose looks are
completely altered by a change in the
way the hair is combed Take the man
for instance, who is in the habit of
parting his hair on the side, and part
1t in the middle, or the man who in the
habit of combing his hair down and
parting it on one side--suppose you
reach or pompadour the hair--can you
not see what changes would follow In
the general appearance Of the man?
This fact has much to do with making
the combing of a mans hair a matter
Of much difficulty, and do not ex-
aggerate when I say it is one of the
hardest tasks New Orleans Times

THE SrANDARD oIL,s REPLY.

LII IL NIANDdhD VI Il - IL EE LIZ
The somewhat pert reply of the STAN
dard Oil Company to the President has
probably been as generally and care
fully read as the Presidents message
and the report ON which the message
was based. 1t is certainly we'll written.
The Standard Oil Company can hire
good writer's. The real question is, is
it true2 Read these two extracts apart
from the rest Of the reply: TT may be
frankly stated at the outset that the
Standard Oil Company has at all times,
within the limits of fairness and with
due regard for the law, sought to Sc
cure the most advantageous freight
rates and routes possible. There will
be no denial Of this fact on our part.
The question is whether we have at
any point violated the law or the pro-
prieties" 1--WE say fatty that any as
sertion that the Standard Oil Company
has been or is now knowingly engaged
in practices which are unlawful is alike
untruthful and unjust"
The President doesn't believe this fat
saying, and probably very few of the
people believe it. If it is true the Stan
dard Oil Company is and has been
suffering martyr. If it isn't true the
Standard Oil Company is and has been
just about what it is and has been pop
ularly supposed to be.

One of the foreign fire insurance com
panies that lost largely in the San
Francisco fire has lost twenty-seven
times it's original capital by risks
placed in America for more than a
century. The company was originally
projected by Daniel Defoe, author of
Robinson Crusoe' at the time when he
was pamphleteering for the union of
Scotland and England. Defoe's fire in
surance project was left in allegiance
while he turned his energies to the pro-
ject that fructlfied in the Bank of
Scotland. In the first stage of the
South Sea speculation the fire insur-
ance company was organized, chiefly
for providing parishes with fire engines
and paid firemen, whose services were
to be paid for by assessments on rate
payers. This was the first paid fire de-
partment in the world. This old cor
poration and one other, also hard hit
in San Francisco, are the only surviv-
ors of the seven thousand projects
floated in England in the South Sea
era of speculative bubbles.

That curious race of web-footed,
short-iegged Papuan dwarfs, the
Agaiam Dos, is not quite extinct. Cap
tain Barton, an official in New Guinea,
describes visit he paid at the end of
last year: "a rumor having reached
Cape Nelson that these interesting folk
had all been massacred, it was crafty
ing to find few females still living.
Six males and four females We're seen
and examined. They averred that they
have no children living, and it seems
likely that in few years the tribe will
have wholly died out"

It seems probable that Nine. Curie
will succeed her husband as professor
of physics in the Sorbonne. This chair
was specially created for NJ. Curie two
years ago, and his wife, by reason of
her valuable collaboration in the re-
search that led to the discovery of ra-
dunn, was appointed his chief labora-
tory assistant. Now that the question
has arisen Of appointing a successor to
M. Curie, his widow is quite seriously
spoken Of as the person best fitted, not
only by intimate knowledge of his
methods and work, but also by her own
scientific attachments, to succeed him.

The liquor interests of Galveston,
Texas, are giving practical illustra-
ton Of reform within the party" The
temperance people waged war upon the
saloon until the brewers became ap-
prehensive and promised to be good.
The brewers shut off the supply of beer
from the dives and the dance halls.
Saloons that failed to obey the closing
ordinance were put under the ban.
Places right and left were notified that
selling to minors and inebriates must
stop. Saloons that tolerated gambling
on the premises were brought up with
round turn. The work was thorough.
and results are said to be satisfactory
to the temperance people and to the DO
lice department.

Many European cities on the seacoast
use salt water for watering the public
thoroughfares, calling it waste to
make use of fresh water for this pur-
pose. They are the more satisfied be-
cause certain properties of sea water
eliminate the necessity of frequent ap-
plications. On the other hand, salt
water exerts very destructive infu-
ence on the paint and varnish Of vehi-
cles, and merchants affirm that the salt
is found everywhere and that its deli
quescence is attended with harmful re-
suits. And again, salt water is destruc-
tive to the pipes and metallic fittings.
and the leakage of the pipes kills vege-
tation in streets, parks and gardens.
