Y on TRAINS.
The Operation Not Nearly o. DangerO
a. Most People Imagine.

The Operation Not Nearly SO Dangerous
as Most People Imagine.
There vas a hurrah when some OF the
railroads started barber shops on their fast
trains, ' said q travelling man. The news
papers said that at last travellers could
have the luxury Of a shave whenever neces-
sary and that no longer would we see I'M
kempt men leaving the trains at the end Of
a long rum.
Now, the barber shops on the fast trains
are undoubtedly a blessing to men who
are not able to shave themselves, but for
my part consider them far more dangerous
than the simple operation OF shaving your
self, even when going at the rate of sixty
miles an hour.
Il always shave myself, and l do not use
a safety razor, yet l would sooner scrape
my chin with an unprotected blade while
the train is going sixty or seventy miles an
hour than let q barber on the same train lean
over me with a sharp razor and perform
the operation.
The reason for this is that when one
holds the razor in ones own hand the razor
move with you II there should be a sudden
jar or jolt. If you fall toward the razor
the razor falls away from you, az your arm
is naturally outstretched to prevent Won
from striking a wall.
But suppose the barber is leaning over
you as you sit in a chair and a sudden
lurching of the train throws him against the
chair. What chance have you in the chair
TO get away from the sharp blade coming
in your directiont
Il have shaved myself doz ems Of times on
fast trains n slow trains and | have never
cut my self once. Yet a number of nv
acQuaintances who nave patronized the train
barber shops have been compelled to wear
court plaster during the remainder Of the
trip:
up to a year or so ago l never shaved
myself on a train, and l never saw any one
else doing 1t. Then, perhaps, because Of the
advent OF safety azors, IL became a COM
p~aratively familiar sight to see a mar shaw
ing himself in the smoking room Of the
Pullman.
Il have had travelling men, seeing me
shave for the first time, express their sur
prise that | did not cut myself, owing to the
lurching Of the train, and when l have ex-
planned to them nov easily one can shave on
a train they nav become instant converts
to the practice. Like all simple things, one
does not realize how simple it is until one
has tried it.
Another thing-it is infinitely smoother
shaving when the train is going fast than
when making only twenty-five or thirty
miles an hour. The curves and the jolts
seem more severe on a slow train. The
steady motion Of a swiftly moving train is
more conducive to security and comfort
than any slow train"

BACK TO RUSSIA.
Changes which Struck a Visitor After
Eight Years Absence.

An A~mericanized Russian Jew recently
went back to his native country on q
business trip. It was eight years since his
previous visit.
Every other person I met, he writes ia
the Christian City. was either 9 military
man or wore some uniform: but the ones
that puzzled me were those that had car
bine guns slung over their backs. To my
surprise they were common policemen,
i'll fed, understood and poorly clad indi-
viduals, but with two revolvers On either
side, sabre dangling on the left side on q
strap, and a loaded gun on the back. I
could feel the pulse Of the people at the sight
Of these walking ~arsenals
Holding fast to my drosky, which threat
ened every second to land it's occupants
on the ugly looking cobblestones, l could
not help noticing things I never saw
here before, namely, b~arefooted, ragged
newsboys hawking their wares. l stopped
my isvoschik (driverr in the middle Of the
street and hailed a newsboy; 1 was in an
instant surrounded by several and offered
eight different papers at once.
When I was here last there was but one
Official paper. Now they print here eight
papers daily and there is no end to new
ones since last year, when the Gar issued
his manifesto abolishing all restrictions
Of the press.
The most troublesome and distressing
element at present in Russia is the pestilen-
tial anarchist; he is as a rule a Jew Of low
and selfish motives, using the troubled
waters to fish in for his own gain.
These scavengers usually go in groups
Of three; two enter the home of a small
we'll to do citizen, put two revolvers on the
table and demand money for powder, dyna-
mite or arms; the third stands guard at the
door. Every refusal is met with death.
The victims are terror stricken and never
divulge the names or give any description
TO the police for fear Of being killed. The
police are towards and the military has
to come TO their help.
Police spies are In plenty and woe to
them when they fall into the hands OF the
ruffians-e prisoners and r~oughs-who
out Of the way quickly and in q most heart
less ann Z
The honest Jew, trembling for his life,
has to shoulder the shame for his coreligion-
list, the anarchist, for in nine cases in every
ten he IL a Jew, and the officials point TOT
him as the i~nstigatoF of all the u~nspeakable
deeds performed under the cloak of free
dom
The Government is very cautious not
TO lea harshly with the people and has
practically Withdrawn the Coesacks from
the provincial cities and in their places,
stationed dragons, uhlan and the other
cavalry men, who are gentlemen In com-
parison with the thieving, mprinc ipled
Cossacks. who are mostly concentrated in
the capitals and great industrial provinces.

A BLOW AT ABSINTHE.
Canton Of vaud Votes TO Expel u and All
Switzerland May Follow III


Absinthe was formally banished by popu-
lar vote from the canton of Vaud in Swift
zerland on the last Sunday in September.
The voters Of the canton held popular
assemblies and the vote stood p, $50 against
the drug to 1870 in its favor.
The popular vote was taken upon an
appeal from the action OF the Great Council
OF the canton, which had passed a short
time before an ordinance prohibiting the
retail sale Of absinthe. This action com
PEELED the distlllers to get busy and the
demand for a popular vote under the Swiss
Constitution was the result.
An active. campaign was made on both
sides. All the absinthe tipplers canvaseed
for votes in the cafes and brasseries of
Lausanne ard Vevey. On the other hand
the Lausanne Gazette never let a day pass
without printing in large type an account
OF at least n crime due TO the effects Of
the -~insidious n ruinous poison
The enemies OF the dlstilleries are 40 elated
by their victory that they are starting an
agitation for the prohibition not only OF
the retail trafic in absinthe, but also of
its production, importation or sale in any
shape throughout the entire Swiss re-
public.

EGYPTIAN
by Greeks OF Greek Tobacco and Due
TO q Government Monopoly.

M&N w ~ ~ @'A @@AS
10 q Government Monopoly.
A controversy which has been going on
in Europe, and especially in England. as
to the rival merits OF Turkish and Egyptian
cigarettes seems likely to be settled by a
report of a disinterested but observant
American Consul.
Though the United States is the great
cigarette producing nation OF the world,
there are imported into this country every
year more than 100000 worth OF foreign
made cigarettes, some Turkish and some
Egyptian.
Turkey is a large tobacco producing
country, yielding $1,000 ons OF Tobacco
every year, and the Turks, it is well known,
are a nation Of smokers. The amount Of
tobacco raised in Egypt is uncomfortable,
and yet Egyptian cigarettes are imported
into this country in considerable amounts
The explanation OF the matter, as offered
by the American Consul in Athens, 10 sim
ole. 1t seems that the Greek tobacco crop
last year was the largest Greece ever har-
vested-about 200 900 900 pounds. A brand
Of Greek tobacco Is used for Egyptian
cigarettes.
Why, it is asked; Eggplant The answer
IL that Egyptian cigarettes are made by
Greeks, because cigarette paper Ia too ex-
pensive In Greece, where IL is a Government
monopoly. Thus the business has gone
over to Egypt. The most famous cigarette
makers OF Egypt are Greeks.
A very large business In cigarette making
has been established in Alexandria, and Il
Is in the hands Of Greeks, who import their
tobacco from their own country and in
turn ship II TO foreign countries. England
and the United States being the chief mar
ket for Egyptian cigarettes, which are, in
fact, Greek cigarettes, those bearing the
title Turkish being imported from Turkey
direct.
