Tlio barber'B business in Spain is
peculiar, in that he ia called upon to ply
ilia shears on donkeys aa well as men,
Bays one who travelled in that country.
For it ia an important item in the oare
of Spanish donkeys that they should bo
shenred as to the back in order to make
a smoother resting plaoe for man or
pannier. So while the master held his
animal, one of the barbers plied some
enormous claoking shears, and littered
the ground with mouse-oolored hair,
leaving the beast's belly fur-oovered bo
low a tired line, and for a small addi
tional price ereouting a raised pattern
of star points around the neok. The
tonsorial profession is an indispensable
one in a country whero shaving the
whole faco is so generally praoticed
among nil the humbler orders. But the
disoomfort to which the barber's custo
mers submit is astonishing. Instead ol
being pampered, soothed, labored at
with confidential respectfulness, and
lullod into luxurious harmony with him
self, as happens in Amerioa, a man who
courts the razor in Spain has to sit
upright in a stiff chair and meokly hold
under his chin abrass basin full of suds,
and fitting his throat by means of n
ourved nick at one side. One individual
we saw seated by the dusty road at the
gate with a towel around his shoulders
and another in his hands to oatch his
own falling locks. He looked submis
sive and miserable, as if assisting at his
own degradation, while the barber was
magnified into a tyrant exercising
sovereign pleasure.
Tltiw They Smoko.
If a man smokes his cigar only to
keep it lighted, and relishes taking it
out of his mouth to watch the curl oi
the smoke iu the air, set him down ae
easy-going man. Beware of the man
who never releases his grip on the cigar
and is indifferent whether it burns or
not, he is cool, calculating and ex
acting. The man that smokes a bit,
rests a bit aud fumbles the cigar more
or loss is easily affected by circum
stances. If the cigar goes out fre
quently, the smoker has a whole-souled
disposition, is a "hail fellow well met,"
with a lively brain, tongue and generally
a fund of capital auecdotes. A nervous
man who fumbles his cigar a great deal
is a sort of popinjay among men.
Holding tho cigar constantly betweoD
A the teeth, chewing it occasionally and
not caring if it be lighted at all aro the
characteristics of moti who have the te
nacity of bulldogs. The fop stands hi?
cigar on end, and an experienced smokei
points it straight ahead or almost at
right angles with his course.— El Fouve

were left for him.
He commenced "Golden Medical Discov

CHICAGO'S TOWERING TEMPLE.
An Eighteen-story Building That
Will Look Like a Monster Tower.
Norman T. Gassette, prime mover ir.
the big project of the Masonic temple,
said: "The grand structure will have its
halls and corridors on the various floors
named as are the streets and avenues of
a city. The reason of this is to do away
with all idea of altitude. Suppose a timid
woman wants to sec some one whose
office is on tho eighteenth floor. She
will draw a long sigh, murmur,
'Eighteenth floor,' and probably go back
home without seeing the person, or per
haps try to cover the case by telephoning.
But if she is told by the elevator boy
that her friend is up on Morris street,
why, of course, there is no idea of alti
tude; she steps into the elevator and is
shot up to the eighteenth floor. There
will be sixteen streets in the temple.
They will be named after men who have
been prominent in Masonry. The first
street above on the main floor wc will name
Gurney, in honor of the late T. T. Gurn
ey, at one time City Comptroller of
Chicago, who was in Masonry Past Grand
Master. That's the only nunc yec
selected.
"The foundation will be of steel rails.
Each floor will be like a span of a can
tilever bridge. They will be drawn to
gether with red-hot bolts, so that there
can absolutely be no vibration. The at
mospheric pressure has been figured in an
exaggerated way. So has the velocity of
the wind. To particularize: The tem
ple will be built so as to resist success
fully the wind at a velocity of 135 miles
an hour, Such a wind would level all
the ordinary business blocks of the city.
The weight of the people on each floor
has been overestimated. Wo have pro
vided to sustain a weight of as many
people as could be packed in solid as sar
dines o.i every foot of space on every
floor. Wc have also exaggerated the
weight of the beams and of flreprooflng.
Tho upper floor will be as strong as the
lower. They will so depend on each
other as to be of uniform strength. Built
on this principle it could he safely made
forty stories high on that foundation.
The only objection would be, it would
require too much room for elevators.
We now will have fourteen elevators,
eight-foot cars, all arranged in a circle.
That's more elevators than there are in
any other building in the city. Tho
superstructure and foundation are alike
solid. Externally the four sides of the
temple will be exactly alike. Even the
alley sides will be a duplicate of State
and Randolph street sides. It will ap
pear exactly the same, no matter from
what direction viewed.
"The general appearance of the tem
ple will be that of a gigantic monument,
the lower iive stories, in terra cotta,
forming the base, then rising in smooth
faced brick, will gleam the shaft, while
the frieze or top comes out in terra cotta.
It is to be, you see, monumental. It
will bo the grandest structure in this
city, famed for its great buildings. Tho
temple will be completed and occupied
on May 1, 1892, an even year before the
World's Fair opens."
The Pickpocket's Art.
The chief object of a pickpocket, after
cortaintv, is speed. He cannot dally with
his victim by the hour. What lie does
is to be over in a flash. Speaking of pins
and studs, there has never been a fasten- i
ing so complex but tho expert thieves ;
could defeat it in a motion. They do in
their business as fine work as any Houdin,
and the thief himself could not analyze
or explain its detail. His powers of ex
ecution have gone far beyond his power
of perception or relation.
A pickpocket consults his own nervous 1
condition constantly. No fine lady ever ;
has such a time with her nerves as this
aristocrat of the outlaws. If lie does not
feel right he won't "work. "When lie does, ;
I've known one on the impulse to take a
car on some well dressed and wealthy ;
street, and, seating himself side to the
tlie window, survey tae shirt front of |
every would-be passenger as the car came j
up. The moment one showed a diamond j
in his linen or cravat tho thief would ;
hurry to tho platform to get off. He j
would time his manoeuvres so as to meet
his man on the step of the car. They i
would collide. The thief's hat—a stiff !
silk or Derby—is in his left hand, and
covers his dexterous right, which is put
forward to protect its owner in the col
lision. It touches the newcomer right
where the diamond sparkles, and is still
covered by the hat in the other hand.
With an apology, the thief steps out of
the way. The whole affair is the tenth
part of a second, but as he bows his
regrets ho has the diamond in that mys
terious hand of his, and, as I have said,
he could not detail the moves by which
lie attained it, even if he should try.—

An Extraordinary Beacon.
The most extraordinary of all light
houses is located on Arnish rock, Storno
way Bay, a rock which is separated from
the island of Lewis by a channel over 500
feet wide. It is in the Hebrides, Scot
land. On this rock a conical beacon is
erected, and on its summit a lantern is
fixed, from which, night after night,
shines a light which is seen by the fish
ermen far and wide. Vet there is no
burning lamp in the lantern and no at
tendant ever goes to it, for the simple
reason that there is no lamp to attend to,
no wick to trim, and no oil well to re
plenish.
The way in which this peculiar light
house is illuminated is this: On the island
of Lewis, 500 feet or so away, is a light-
House, and from a window in the tower
a stream of light is projected on a mir
ror in the lantern on the summit of Ar
nish rock. These rays are lcilccted on
to an arrangement of prisms, and by their
action are converged to a focus outside
the lantern, from which they diverge in
the necessary direction.
The consequence is that, to all interns
and purposes, a lighthouse exists which
has neither lump nor lighthouse keeper,
and yet which gives as serviceable a liglit
—taking into account the requirements
of this locality—as if an elaborate and
costly 1 ghthouse, with lamp, service
room, bed-room, living-room, storeroom,
oilroom and water tanks were erected on
the summit of the rock.
Novel Way of Heating a Church.
A new system of heating Trinity
Church, in this city, has, with other im
provements, necessitated a scene of great
disorder in the venerable building six
days each week during the Summer. All
the services of the church have, however,
been continued without interruption.
To afford opportunity lor the introduc
tion of tlie improved system of heating,
by means of indirect radiation, it was re
quired that every piece of tiling in the
church should be r< moved. When this
was accomplished trenches four feet deep
and nearly as many in width were dug in
the several aisles, in front of the chancel,
and at the rear of the church. In these '
trenches conduits were built by means of !
which hot air will be conveyed to all
parts of the edifice. Beneath each pew a
small iron pipe is inserted, connected '
with the conduit, aud through which the I
heat will be distributed to a radiator,
concealed from view by a moulding of
galvanized iron painted to correspond
with the wood-work at the base of the
pews fronting upon the aisles. Instead
of obtaining the power required for
operating the new system from the
Steam Heating Company the Trinity
Corporation will put in a plant of its own.
The expenditure for the improvements
in progress is estimated at $25,000. —

SHE RUNS AN ENGINE.
Miss Do Barr's Trade is an Unusual
One For a Woman.
There are few petticoat engineers in
the country. Miss Annie De Barr of !
Chicago, is probably the only one. She '
is a tall, slender woman, with light eyes j
and delicate hands, but she can run a '
stationary engine for keeps. Four years !
ago she began her rare occupation in tho
White Swan Laundry, on Clark street. I
She was then twenty-one years old. Here
she shovelled coal in the furnace and j
blew the squawking whistle with all the
gusto of a man iu a greasy jumper. Few :
persons knew that the engine in the
basement was being manned by a wom
an, for the employees had been sworn to
secrecy, and Miss Dc Barr did not talk
about her work, for she is a modest
creature aud opposed to notoriety.
Two years ago Miss Dc Barr took hold
of the big twenty-four horse-power en- j
ginein a machine-shop on Lincoln avenue 1
and Wells street. The machine never
had a bettei master. Day after day it
hums and hisses as the pretty engineer,
in her bright print dress, rakes the fire
in the furnace and fills the oil cups.
Miss I)e Barr takes care of all the
machinery attached to the engine. She
mends the belts, climbs around the shaft
iug like a girl in a cherry tree in cherry
time, and polishes the mountings until
they shine like her own pretty eyes, j
Most people would believe that a womau
iu skirts and the like would get grimy
and hard-fisted at this kind of work, but
Miss De Barr docs not. She is as neat
and tidy when she leaves her work as
tlie petted maiden she passes on the way
■to her home. She runs that twenty-four
horse-power engine like a sewing
! machine.
Miss De Barr was born in St. Louis of
a French father and a German mother.
; But in looks and manner she is tliorough
!ly American. Her father is dead and
| with her earnings she supports her wid-
I owed mother in St. Louis. Speaking
: about licr occupation, Miss Dc Barr said :
I asked Mr. T. Ball, the proprietor of
( the machine-shop, for the engincership,
; and he at first thought it very strange,
j lie felt doubtful about giving me atrial,
, although I told him 1 had ample experi
ence in this line. However, 1 persuaded j
him to let me try it, and the trial was so
satisfactory to him that he soon gave me I
j full charge of the engine-room. I don't ;
j think he has regretted it. There has not
been the slightest accident in the cngine-
I room since I have run it, and I have
! attended to all the repairing and mend
! ing that was to be done now and then
in these two years. In fact, I attend to
every sort of work that is necessary about
an engine. I start the fire everyday. I
; shut down and rake the fires out every
i evening, and I do my own firing alto- i
gether."—[Chicago 11craid.
Colonial Punishments for Drunk
enness.
Dr. Hammond gives a couple of in
stances of a colonial punishmcut of
drunkenness. Here are others. 1G33.
Massachusetts: Robert Coles fined £lO
! for "abusing himself shamefully with
drink," and enjoined to stand with "A
J DRUNKARD" in great letters on a white
sheet on his back, "soc longc as the
j Court thinks mcete." [The penalties for
! repetition next year—disfranchisement,
etc.—referred to by Dr. Hammond, were
i remitted, May, 1034, on submission and
j testimony of good behavior.] T. Hawk- I
| ins and John Vauhan fined 20#. for a '
[ similar offence and selling "strong water,
contrary to an order of Court." Iu 1043
and 1050 the colony made the harboring
of drunkards penal. But there is not
! the slightest evidence that the proceed- !
i ings in these cases were for sumptuary
; reasons. 1039: Wm. C was fined
I 40.v. for "misdemeanor in drinking, and
I corporal punishment remitted upon his
I promise to avoid such occasions." The
I same year, in New lluveu, John Jonner,
"accused of being drunk, was acquitted,
I it appearing to be of infirmity, and occa
sioned by the extremity of the cold." 1
"Mr. Molcnour, accused, but not clear
ly proved, was respited." It could
hardly have been the object in these
cases to prevent the expenditure for the
liquor, or to dictate what the persons
concerned should or should not drink! ,
1 Nor when Thomas Franklund was pun- !
ished "for drinking strong liquors to ex- '
' cess and entertaining disorderly persons
| into his cellar to drinking meetings."—

Remembered Their Master.
When the celebrated animal trainer i
Martin, who died lately, had retired to
| private life, one day he took a notion ;
. that he would visit his former large men- j
! agcric, which he had not seen for five
| years. It was in Brussels, and he started I
j for that city from his country seat near
j Rotterdam. At 4 o'clock, the time for '
feeding, lie entered the menagerie. He '
| mingled with the crowd and waited un- !
| til the animals would receive their food, i
! for which they were waiting with wild
impatience.
| While they wore eating he began to '
cough. Suddenly the animals paused in >
their Ircnt and listened, then broke into
wild howls of joy and tore at tho iron 1
I bars, so that many of tho timid visitors !
lied from tho menagerie.
| Then .Martin stoppped forward. With !
j a movement of his hand and with his |
| powerful voice he commanded silence i
and suddenly was quiet. He swung
! himself over the bars which separated the
visitors from tho animals, and put his
hand into the cages to fondle the aui
j mats. A mighty tigress showed more
joy than any of the others. When Mar
tin's hambglided over her magnificent
lur, her limbs trembled nervously, she
uttered weak, tender grunts," and
through the iron bars with lier rough
tongue, she licked tho face of her for
mer master. When he went away she lay
down without eating any more food.

CATCHING "SARDINES." I
Scooping Up Thousands of Herring
From Quoddy Bay.
All over and around Quoddy Bay and
the inlets and rivers tributary are hun
dreds of weirs where arc captured tho
young herring which the Eastport (Me.) \
factories cure and pack into boxes for
sardines. These weirs are really traps
of a rude sort, where these midgets are
imprisoned at high tide and released (in- j
to boats) at" low tide. Seen from a
steamboat., they appear mere bits of the
bay—a few acres 111 a place fenced in
with bean poles that rise considerably
out of water when the tide is out. The
fence is built around three sides of this
inclosure, the upright stakes being hori- j
zontally wattled with willows and other J
lithe saplings, aud then filled in with 1
brush so closely as to furnish an obstruc- I
tion to the herring infants which j
thoughtlessly drift into the open gate
with the falling tide. Then, at the right
time, boats go in armed with seines and j
take captive the bewildered shiners. A i
boat load will sometimes sell for S2O or ;
SBO.
The eight-hour law is not enforced in
Eastport because a saidine factory is ;
liable to start up at any hour of the day
or night aud must keep going as long as
there is anything to do, lest the tender
catch is spoiled. They are apt to work I
more by night than by day, because the 1
piscatorial small fry can be best taken at
the daylight high tide. When the catch
is washed and dressed, baked, oiled and
boxed, then the hands go to bed
and catch their forty winks, more or less,
beforo they are summoned again to the
loud-smelling factory.
When the boat comes back from its
little cruise the skipper signals the look- I
out at the factory the measure of his sue- I
cess and the hands arc called from all \
parts of the town. To this end bells are |
rung, and each factory has a different
code, so that its employes know who is ;
calling and what is expected of them.
The dwarf herring is first cousin to the
clupc which forms the sardine of France. \
It is not quite so hard and the cottonseed [
oil in which it is embalmed not quite so |
savory as is the olive oil iu which its
aristocratic cousin of Concarneau lies en
tombed. But he is as numerous and he
is easier caught. When the French skip
per of Concarneau desires to get a boat
load of clupes he must first purchase a
most seductive bait—the roc of cod—
which costs about S2O a barrel. This cx
pcusive luxury he must spread upon his
net before he dips it iuto the sea and j
scatter it upon the waves afterward to ,
entice the wary and insigniticent fishing. |
But the Eastport skipper uses no bait I
aud 110 auxiliary save the mighty tide, |
which leads the diminutive wanderer
within the sound aud leaves him helpless ,
there. The whole of the French const,
according to Henry Haynie, produces an- j
Dually about 00,000,000 boxes of sardines, \
and Eastport, Me., produces about a third j
as many.
Fish Oil and Fish Scrap.
The fish oil and fish scrap industries
on the coast of Maine from fish caught |
in seines are of considerable importance, i
The oil is used for various purposes—per
haps, after passing through the hands of
the chemist and mixed with other ingre
dients, it is labeled "cod liver oil," as
lard is changed into "olive oil." The
" chum " or pumine of the fish, after the
oil is pressed out, is used as a valuable
fertilizer, worth sll a ton, or as food
for sheep and other domestic animals and
fowls.
The secretary of the board of agricul
ture of Maine, in his report for 1874,
said:
"In August last, in accordance with
the recommendation of the board, 1
spent two weeks in visiting and inspect
ing the establishments along our coast,
where the fish known as menhaden
(brevoortia menhaden) arc manufactured
into oil. Commencing ray investigations
at Boothbay and Bristol, they were ex
tended eastward to Quebec and Eastport,
where the herring, the fish most largely
used for oil, the residue, after pressing
out the oil, is largely used for feeding
sheep and poultry, etc.
In Boothbay there arc five companies
engaged in this business, and in Bristol
and Bremen seven companies, while in
the towns of Sedgwick, Blue Hill, Surry,
ate., are a number of companies doing
a smaller amount of business. During
the past season the Bristol companies
made 5381,000 barrels of oil, and the
Boothbay companies 174,000 —a total of
555,000 barrels. From this, 18,500 tons
of scrap, or chum, was made, worth
sll per ton at the works, giving a
revenue of $203,500; the total product
for both items being $031,475 for the
year 1874.
Making Matches.
The operation of making matches
from a pine log may be divided into four
heads, namely: Preparing the splints,
dipping the matches, box making and
filling. When the timber is brought in
to the cutting-room of the factory it is
seized upon by a gang of men, who place
it before a circular saw, where it is cut
into blocks fifteen inches long, which is
the length of seven matches. It is tlieu
freed of its bark and taken to the turning
lathe, where by means of a special form
of fixed cutting band running its entire
length, a continuous tool, the thickness
of the match is cut off. As the block
revolves and decreases in diameter the
knife advances ami a band of veneer of
uniform thickness is obtained. As the
veneer rolls off the knife it is met by
eight small knives, which cut it into
seven separate bands, each the size ola
match. By this one operation seven long
ribbons of wood, each the length and
thickness of a match are obtained. They
arc then brokon into pieces six feet long,
the knotty parts removed, and they are
then fed into a machine, which acts and
looks like a straw chopper, which cuts
them into single matches. The machine
eats 150 bands at the same time, and a
mechanical device pushes them forward i
the thickness of a single match at each
stroke of thecutttcr. This little machine,
with its one sharp knife, can cut over
10,000,000 matches a day.—[Picayune.
A Trackless Street Car.
An exhibition run of the "carcttc," a
diminutive street car without a track,
which has been in use in Chicago for
several weeks, was given yesterday attcr
noon. The "carette" is light and easy
in motion, and no jolting or discomfort
was felt in riding in it along the part
cobble-stone paving of Chestnut street.
It cannot run on the ordinary street car
track, the distance between the wheels
being greater than the car-track width.
It avoids delays or blockades, and stops
at the curb to receive and discharge pas
sengers. It scats twenty persons, is
drawn by two horses, and has a conduc
tor and a driver. It is said to be very
popular in Chicago among ladies and
children.—| Philadelphia Times.
WOMAN'S INTUITION.
Nearly Alwnyn Itifflit in Her Judgment in
Koirard (o Common Thing*.
An old gentleman over seventy, came into
the city from his farm, without his overcoat.
The day turned chilly and he was obliged to
forego his visit to the fair.
To a friend who remonstrated with him for
going awuy from homo thus unprepared, he
said: "1 thought it was going to bo warm:
my wife told me to take my overcoat, but I
wouldn't. Women have more sense than men
anyway."
A frank admission.
Women's good sense is said to come from
intuition; may it not be that they are more
sloso observers of little things. One thing is
certaiu, they aroapt to strike the nuil on the
head, in all the ordinary .problems of life,
more frequently than the lords of creation
"According to Dr. Alice Bennett, who
recently read a iiapar on Bright's disease be
fore the Pennsylvania State Medical Society,
[>eraons subject to bilious attacks and sick
headaches, who have crawling sensations,
like the flowing of water in the hea 1, who
ire 'tired all tho time' an 1 have unexplained
ittocks of suddeu weakness, may well be sus
pected of daugorous tendencies in the direc
tion of Bright's disease."
The voteran nowsjiaper correspondent, Joa
Howard, of the New York Press, in noting
this statement, suggests: "Possibly Alice is
jorrect in her diagnosis, but why doesn't she
five soma idea of treatment? I know a man
who has boon 'tired all the time' for ten
fears. Night before last ho took two doses
>f calomel and yesterday he wished he
aadn't."
A proper answer is found in the following
letter of Mrs. Davis, wife of Rov. Wm. J. 1
Davis, of Basil, (J., June 21st, 1890:
"I do not hesitate to say that I owe my life !
to Warner's Safe Cure. 1 hod a constant ;

We refer to one that has withstood tho most
rigid adverse criticism lor u period now ex
tending over forty years, and which has ob
tained for Dr. Tobias's Venetian Liniment t ho
proud distinction that by its intrinsic value
alone it has won the esteem of all who have
ever used this valuable preparation.
Truly it can be said of it: "Tried and not
found wanting," and no wonder to-day it is
regaiiled as the most wonderful pain destroy
er ever offered to the world, and that it is
adopted everywhere as a standard remedy ba
the relief and cure of the numberless ills to
which humanity is subject.
('lean, quick and efficacious, it has never
failed to accomplish that which for many
years it has been warranted.
The word humbug cannot bo applied to "Dr.
Tobias's Venetian Liniment," as it has proved
itself, ami by lis good works assuredly fixed
itself iu public confidence.
Never b • without a bottle of it; you will Unci
it more tliau worth its weight 111 gold, for
whom is ill-re amongst us at all times free
from tho ills that tlouli is heir to.

Aw extraordinary advance in, the use ot co
coa seems to have taken place of late years in
England. In the House of Commons, this last
session, the Right Hon. G. J. Goschen, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, called attention
to it as a cause lor much of the falling oil of
the use of coffee. Ho attributed it in a meas
ure, to the position a preparation of cocoa
known as "Grateful and Comforting" had
taken, in accord with this suggestion, it may
be interesting to follow the course cocoa has
taken in England ,i nc . e 1832, when the duty,
which had ueen standing at tki. per pound,
with an nuportution of under half a million
pounds, was reduced to 2d. per pound, ami not
long after we find the bomo-ptthic doctrine of
medicine introduced into tn o kingdom and
that the use of cocoa, was specially advocated
by physicians adopting that mode of practice.
! Soon after we llnd the first homceopat iic
1 chemists established in England (the lirm of
James Epps & (Jo.) produced a special i rep
aration which only needed boiling water or
milk to be at once ready for the table, and the I
suiwrior character ot this production ha*, no
doubt, done much, as the Chancellor ot the i
Exchequer said, to bring about the advance
made.
