THE BARRIERS POLE.

The origin Of the custom of shaving
the face is lost In antiquity. The
Greeks and Romans had public shaving
places in connection with their baths.
In the fourteenth century the bar
ber's craft was recognized as a profess
sion, being allied to surgery. The bar
bers were confined, as to surgery, to
the letting of blood and leeching. and
the extracting of teeth, and the sur
geons were prohibited from shaving the
face.
The BARRIERS sign was a striped pole
as far back as 1850, the stripes around
the pole being symbols of the bandages
used in wrapping the arm or part from
which the blood was to be let.

A NOVEL BAROMETER.

-HE barometer is the instrument
used by the scientists to deter
mine the relative weight of the
cir. As usually made, 1t consists of a
cup Of mercury, with which is con-
nected a graduated glass tube. From
the upper part of this tube the air has
been exhausted, thus forming a
vacuum, and the height Of h column
of mercury in the tube denotes the
weight of the atmosphere.
The explanation of this Is quite SIM
pie. The pressure of the atmosphere
upon the mercury in the cup forces the
mercury up into h tube, where 1t
meets no resistance because the empty
part Of the tube is a Hence
the column of mercury will rise or fall
in the tube as the pressure Is greater
or less.
Everybody is familiar enough with
weather reports to know that we have

GIRLS FORM LIVING CHAIN
RESCUE BOY FROM DROWNING
AT ATLANTIC CITY.
Held Head Down by Companion,

ATLANTIC CITY. August 11.-Forming

around the Inlet Pier yesterday. Thou
sands of persons in the water and on the
beach breathless.y watched the rescue.
and when it was accomplished cheered
the youthful heroines
1t should be said that the components
of this chain are such as young men
yearn to link for life.
Miss Mabel and Miss Harriet. who live
at Tioga, Philadelphia. were resting, dur
ing the bath, on the pier. Charles Cres-
tie of Germantown. Philadelphia, dived
from the pier.
When he arose he found himself under
the structure and Gagged i'm a framework

for help.
Harry Merrick, life guard. one of the
mayors thirty recruits from the universe
ties. dived from the pier, descending out
side and coming up inside the trap in
which the boy was struggling. He seized
the frantic youngster and. holding him
fast dived again and brought him up free
of the pier.
Miss Mabel and Miss Harriet saw that
his exertions had wearied Merrck and
that small Crestie was suffering from re-
peated dimensions.
Miss Harriet threw herself face down
at the piers edge and grabbed Miss Ma
bells shapely ankles. Miss Mabel. thus
held fast. dropped head first, and stretch
ing down her arms. plucked the bo:' from
the tired life savers grasp. That done.
dozen men drew up Miss Mabel and Cres-
tie, and Merrick. relieved of his burden,
easily swan ashore.
To escape the noisy praises dinned in
their pink ears, Miss Jamison and Miss
Simpson lost themselves among the bath
ers. Young Crestie. after resting awhile,
was taken to his hotel.

that is not too thin. For instance, dis

if ripped. washed and pressed.
To make one such bag one and one-half
yards of goods twenty-seven inches wide
will be needed. In constructing 1t deep
hens should be sewed at the ray edge
ends. Three or four inches fr'm the
hens a very deep pleat should be hid and
stitched only at the selvages, not run as
a tuck.
The material must then be doubled SO
the hens face each other down the center
of the upper half The selvages edges are
then sewed together and bound with rib
bon or braid. When finished. the hens
are at the mouth of the bag. To use the
tapes that are sewed to the edges, they
must be tied so the blOuses will stay Sc
curely in place. When the case is full the

Burlap and Cretonne for Bags.
Burlap in the natural color, trimmed
with cretonne. is the newest combination
for such bedroom bags. and very pretty
and practical laundry bags can be bought
for 30 cents in a variety of colorings.
Those opening at the side or bottom are
very convenient.
Work bags with outside pockets made of
wash materials are often used for hand
kerchiefs or collars.
They have such wide mouths that arti-
cles are easily and quickly packed in
them. and they can then be hung on pegs
as further convenience. which thus gives
more space in the drawers for small
pieces.
A large sheet of heavy brown paper
might be included in the trunk so that
later it could be converted into a resting
place for dress hat supposing there is
no box room.
A few stitches will shape this kind of
paper into bag that will thoroughly pro-
tect the hat. and strap of tape will form
a handle to hang it by.

An overabundance or even sufficient
space for hanging clothing in the aver
age boarding house at the summer re-
sorts is luxury seldom found. and so
since pretty garments are bound to be-
come crushed if kept con-tantly in the
trunk. it is the wisest plan to go pre-
pared with contriVances for the preser.
walton and protection of ones wardrobe.
Often the only closet room Is row
of pegs screwed to the under side of a
shelf. from which a curtain is dropped
and this is entirely inadequate for keep
ing out the dust. especially in midsummer
When such a makeshift is the only pro-
vision afforded. receptacles should be sup

About Packing Dresses in Bags.

and can be rolled as tight as one wishes.

sew tapes to the front edges and. after
putting the wrap on coat hanger. place

desired. but as the kimono is usually
longer than the wrap this precaution is
not necessary.

LIQUID SOAP SHAMPOO.

Insufficient attention is given to the
washing of the hair, especially in sum-
mer The idea on this subject of the
average woman is that by wetting her
head and hair in warm water and rub
bling vigorously with a cake of soap to
make a lather. following which the mead
is rinsed, the process of shampooing Is
complete: while as matter OF fact
head washed in this way is not perfectly
clean, and the chances are strong that all
the soap is not removed. Instead, certain
strands are left in slightly sticky con-
dition, whereby they attract and hold
dirt. Then another disadvantage of this
method is that the soap should never be
rubbed directly upon the hair unless 1t
has first been reduced to the consistency
of jelly. In that case it dissOlves easily
when it touches the water and SO does not
adhere to the tresses.
A mistake frequently made in shampoo
ing is to wet the head with water before
applying the cleansing agent. But this
process is not satisfactory, for the purify
ing preparation is not used undiluted as
it should be. to thoroughly remove all
dirt from the scalp and hair.
To Make Soap Jelly.
To prepare simple liquid cleansing
fluid take an ordinary square of CASTLE
soap. shave it and add a pint of boiling
water. Let this mixture stand at the
boiling point until the soap is dissolved.
1t should be poured into glass jar while
hot and covered. When cold the liquid
becomes jelly. and will keep indefi-
nitey.
Precisely how this should be mixed aft
erward for a shampoo depends upon the
quality of the hair A woman whose
scalp is in good condition may take a
half teacupful of the jelly. add to it half
teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda and
raw egg, beating all together. This,
then, is we'll rubbed over the hair and
into the scalp, putting the remaining
cleansing material over the long hair Not
