IS IT A PROFESSION.
COURTS OF GREAT BRITAIN SAY
BARBERING ONCE WAS.
Decision Based Upon a Forgotten Statute of
Fourteenth Century—lt is Still a Mechanical
Calling, or Trade, in This Country.
The act before our State Legislature
for prescribing a license for barbers
based upon skill, knowledge and cer
tain personal requirements, recalls to
mind that it is only a short time ago
that an English court decided that
shaving nnd haircutting should be
uumhbred among the professions.
This tribunal based its finding or. a
law of Parliament enacted in the four
teenth century giving a legal recogni
tion of what had existed in fact for
ages. The barber as a shaver and
hair-dresser, and also as an untiring
and never-ending conversationalist,
with all the conversation on his side,
is as old as civilization. Ancient his
tory gives the barber recognition be
cause lie was a man of distinction.
In his order defining what the proph
ets should do with their hair, Ezekiel
said: "And thou, son of man, take
thee a barber's razor and cause it to
pass upon thine head and upon thine
beard." Whether Ezekiel ordered the
prophets to shave themselves lest
they should be talked to death wnile
sitting in the barber's chair, he docs
not so much as intimate, but he ad
mitted that the barber and his razor
were matters of course.
In bygone ages, barbers were profes
sional blood-lettere, that being a spe
cific for almost every disease, and the
red stripe on the barber's pole was an
insignia of his sanguinary avocation.
Subsequently the M. D.s procured an
act of Parliament declaring the pro
fession of a barber foreign and inde
pendent of that of surgery and it for
bade barbers performing surgical op
erations. Up to that time barbers
belonged to the gentry class or the
next step above those in commercial
pursuits. It was that act of Parlia
ment that became the wedge which
finally split the fraternity off the so
cial log and stripped it of its " gentry"
toga. Perhaps it is not generally
known that until quite recently the
surgeons of the Swedish navy were
also the barbers for the crew.
Before the introduction of the rail
way and the telegraph in England a
barber shop was a sort of general news
agency. Anyone receiving news from
abroad or hearing anything of interest
relating to local affairs or to the king
dom would hasten to the barber shop
to circulate it. The Bbop was a gene
ral resort for idlers and It was no un
common sight to see lords and ladies
dropping in to bear the news and lis
ten to the music which the barber fur
nished during shop hours, though the
band usually consisted of but one lute
player. Whoever the caller might be
the conventions of society obliged him
to treat the barber with consideration,
for his position before the world was
anything but plebeian. He was a gen
tleman both by birth and association,
a "professor of barbery," as the Eng
lish law put it, and a " scientist in sur
gery."
The barber's chair, foot rest and
other appliances to insure comfort to
customers are modern. Until recent
years the victim—for he was a victim
—would sit on a stool or straight
backed chair and submit to having
his head pulled and hauled about
to suit the humor of the barber. To
this day nearly all the Asiatics use
the stool or straight-backed chair
and the basin of soap. The Chinese
barber shops in San Francisco fol
low the old custom, but as their most
particular work is shaving beads per
haps their way is the better one for
them.
An occupation that is merely me
chanical is not called a profession in
the United States, but the business of
making the liquids which the barber
uses is a profession, because some
knowledge of chemistry is required.
In recent years barber shops have re
ceived a good deal of attention from
inventors with the result that work is
now done with greater ease by the
barber.and with more comfort to his
patrons.
Prices, too, have been reduced. A
quarter of a century ago shaving cost
25 cents and hair-cutting 50 cents,
but these figures have been reduced to
15 cents for shaving and to 25 cents
for hair-cutting. Location of the
shop, its fixtures and appointments
hare much to do with prices in the
East, where sometimes one may get a
" shave" as low as a nickel.
The reduction in prices and the
many comforts of modern shops has
increased the business of barbers
greatly in recent years. Some barbers
claim there is more profit in the busi
ness than ever before and nearly all
of them agree that the business never
had so many skilled " artists" as now
and that wages eTen are higher, all
things considered.
In all the ages there has been one

every essential requirement, leaving
no room for any radical improvement.
Probably we cannot better close
this article on this somewhat unusual
topic than by relating an anecdote of
a transaction said to have occurred in
one of our local shops, a few years
ago, which goes to show the dignity
yet maintained for a once nobly hon
ored calling by some of its craftsmen.
A nervous tradesman placed him
self in the chair for manipulatior, and
had l*een lathered and ruhbed and the
razor had been stropped in the highest
professional manner, when the knight
of the gleaming steel squared himself
for action with many a fantastic
though strictly professional flourish.
It seems that the customer that morn
ing was not in the smoothest temper,
and he broke out in a petulant pro
test against the apparent reckless mo
tions of the murderous-looking instru
ment so near his throat.
The protest met with instant re
resentment and the majestic declara
tion : " I understand my business, sir;
I want you to know I am a tonsorial
artist 1"
"Tonsorial artist, be d—d!" ex
claimed the nervous citizen, as he
sprang from the chair snatching the
towel from his throat and by a rapid
pass wiping the lather from his face;
" tonsorial fool, you mean," and the
vigorous slam of the door as he
emerged on the street showed that
he intended for his words and acts to
be indellibly impressed upon the
memory of his astounded victim.

STRAUSS IS AUSTERE.
8. F, Dramatic Bevitw.
Eduard Strauss, the Vienna Or
chestra director, is having some
trouble because of his dignity. When
at home Mr. Strarss is the "court ball
musical director to His Majesty, the
Emperor and King of Austro-Hun
gary." On account of the dignity
pertaining to his high office, he never
permits the members of his orchestra
to address him or to converse with
him in any manner.
Henry Vogel, the second violinist,
was out visiting some friends Wednes
day afternoon, and when he reached
the California Theater that evening,
he had imbibed, among other things,
a sense of the American spirit of
equality.
" Wie gehts, mein Herr?" he said,
affably addressiug the court ball
musical director to His Majesty, the
Emperor and King of Auatro-Hun
gary.
The court hall musical director, etc.,
looked up in bewildered astonishment
He stood speechless. Then he waved
his hand to represent a few bars of the
Chopin funeral march, and everybody
but Mr. Vogel realized that there was
trouble ahead. •
When the weekly salaries were paid
Friday of last week, from Henry
Vogel's claim of 137.60 for the week's
work, he deducted a fine of S2O
Vogel promptly engaged Attorney
Treadwell to collect the S2O for him,
and threatened to attach everything
belonging to Strauss if the court ball
musical director, etc., attempts to go
away without paying.
In all probability our musical ranks
will be swelled by the addition of
another violinist.

OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON: FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 1, 1901.
RESCUED THE LIBERTY BELL.
The Prince of Wales, during his
visit to Philadelphia in 18GO, rescued
the Liberty Hell from a dirt heap and
raised it to that positiou which it now
occupies in the American people's
hearts.
Some ironical citizen conceived the
idea of taking the Prince to Independ
ence Hall to view the treasures which
are the most forcible reminder of
America's " deli" to our mother
country.
The prince saw the portraits of the
men who stirred up the Revolution,
and he did not gaze listlessly at tliem,
but made complimentary remarks
upon them. He looked with interest
on the manuscript of the Declaration
of Independence, and he did not Hindi
when he had placed in his hands the
swords of men who hewed down the
flower of his royal progenitor's army.
Finally lie came to the garret-
This was where the bell was rung
when the Declaration was read, he
was told. Then he wanted to know
what had become of the bell. They
found it for him with the aid of their
canes. It was hidden away beneath a
mass of peanut shells, orange peels,
waste-paper and other debris.
No one seemed to mind what had
been discovered except the Prince of
Wales. He was apparently appalled.
For a moment he forgot he was a
Briton; he gazed upon the poor
cracked bell that had rung at a na
tion's birth, and then he spoke the
words that made the American people
see that they were neglectful.
" This old bell," he said, "is the
greatest relic this republic has to day.
Instead of being here, covered with
this accumulated debris, it should
occupy the chief place of honor in the
hall of Independence. It is to you
what the Magna Charta is to Eng
land. It is cracked but it is an in
spiration. Believe me, my friends, it
affects me more than anything I have
been shown."
That was the renaisance of the
Liberty Bell. No more dirt was
thrown upon it. During the civil
war its name was used to stir the Un
ion soldiery, and then when the Chi
cago world's fair began it was taken
there so that men and women from
all parts of the world might see it.
To-day the Liberty Bell is America's
greatest relic, and the Prince of
Wales, now King Edward VII, made
it so.
NATURAL HISTORY NOTES.
A lion in a jungle will jump twenty
five or thirty feet from a standing
start.
The habits of anta are more like
those of a man than are the habits of
any other of the lower animals.
The wool on the back of a sheep is
a shepherd's barometer. The curlier
the wool the finer will be the weather.
Camels are perhaps the only ani
mals that cannot swim. Immediately
after they enter the water they turn
on their backs and are drowned.
Cats and several other animals have
a falsi eyelid, which can be drawn
over the eyeball, either to cleanse it,
or to protect it from too stronga light.
The lions of Mt. Atlas are far the
largest of their species, and capable of
enduring extreme cold, frequently
traveling long distances through deep
snow.
In birds the origin of sight is highly
developed. British naturalists de
clare that the kestrel is possessed of
such wonderful powers of sight that it
is able to see a mouse when it is itself
at such height in the air that it is in
visible to the naked human eye.
It may not be generally known that
the rattlesnake has the greatest anti
pathy for the leaves of the white ash
People have proven by experiments
that this dislike is so intense that the
snake wiil even run into a fire o
across the burning coals to avoid
touching white ash leaves.
The extreme height of a full-grown
male giraffe may be put down at
nineteen feet, or a trifle over that of a
mature female at about seventeen
feet. These animals are practically
defenseless. When brought to a
standstill they will chop out danger
ously with the fore feet if approached
too closely, and occasionally among
themselves they butt with their
heads, but otherwise they are quite
defenseless.
A striking example of the intelli
gence of elephants was seen recently
in Middletown, Conn., during a circus
parade. A small child on Broad street
got away from its mother and toddled
out into the street. Before any one
could realize what the child was up to
it was dirrctly in front of the herd of
elephants. Every one expected to
see the little one crushed to death, but
the leader of the herd carefully picked
the babe up with its trunk and swung
it out of danger.

DOUGLAS FIR FOR OIL DERRICKS
A New Market for Washington's Crack Timhtr
Product.
The manufacturers of i'uget Sound
fir lumbar, ever on the cokout for
new markets for their products, have
recently begun to turn their eyes to
ward lexas with a view of furnishing
a portion of timber for the thousands
of oil well towers that are being erect
ed in eertaiii districts of that State, as
a result of the discovery of crude pe
troleum.
That this field is to provide a mar
ket for an enormous quantity of lum
ber there can be no doubt. Already
thouaands of companies have been or
ganized and millions of dollars sub
scribed for the development of the
oil fields, and for every well that is
sunk (and there will be thousands)
several thousand feet of lumber will
be required.
This lumber for oil well towers
must be long, strong and clear of de
fects. These are strong points in the
Puget Sound Douglas fir. The only
limit to the length in which this va
riety of lumber can be supplied for
that purpose is the limit placed by the
ability of the railioad companies to
handle the longer lengths.
Until recently the freight rates into
that section were such as to make it
impossible for fir to enter the markets
there in competition with the cypress
of the Southern States. Even now
the rates are not such as to enable it
to compete on an equal basis, but on
account of the superior quality of the
fir, in-lengthand clearness from defect,
it is possible that a large market, may
bo found there. At least the Puget
Sound lumbermen are going to over
look no opportunity to enlarge their
market and men are now in the pros
pective territory looking over the field.
A new lumber rate was put in last
fall by the Northern Pacific, Burling
ton and connecting lines, extending
south over the M. K. & T., which pro
vides for a rate of 72$ cents per hun
dred on fir lumber. At the same
time a rate into the same territory of
82} cents a hundred on cedar shingles
was announced, which has resulted in
the local mills getting a number of
large orders for cedar shingles from
that section, and there seems no rea
son why the same cannot be accomp
lished in the matter of lumber.
The Bed Chamber.
The requisites of a healthful bed
chamber are thus set forth by Maria
.Parola in the Ladies' Home Journal:
Every bedroom should be provided
with the essentials for healthful sleep
and the daily sponge bath. As nearly
as possible the room should be kept
free from anything that would tend to
contaminate the air. It should be as
large as one can allbrd, and the win
dows so arranged that they may be
opened at the top and bottom. If pos
sible the floor should be bare and the
rugs so small that they can be taken
outdoors with ease for cleaning and
airing. Everything about the room
should be washable. The bed should
be light and fitted with strong casters,
so that it may be readily moved ; the
springs ought to be firm and strong,
and the mattress the kind that will
not allow the heaviest part of the body
to sink, and to cause the sleeper to lie
in a cramped position. My own
preference is for a cheap hard mattress
next the springs and a light one of
hair on this, but any kind of a firm
mattress is better than one that is too
soft. Above all, do not overfurnish
the bedroom.
Secret of Longevity.
The delegation of young men was
ushered into the presence of Methuse
lah, who warmly extended greetings.
"What can I do for you, gentle
men?" inquired the aged man.
" Sir, we have come to learn the
secret of your longevity," replied the
spokesman.
" That will I gladly reveal to you. I
have lived nine bnndred aud sixty
years because bacteria and bacilla and
microbes and germs will not be dis
covered for 5,000 years to come.
Where ignorance is antiseptic it is
folly to study bacteriology."
So saying Methuselah bowed his
visitors from the office.
A Tumwater girl took a header
from a bicycle and was jarred into
unconsciousness. Methods of re
suscitation failed until a benevolent
lookiug old gentleman exclaimed:
" Rub her neck." At this the young
woman came to her senses. Tears
came, and she repressed a cry of
anguish as she screamed: " Rubber
neck yourself, you old fool," and she
was so mad she could't cry.
THE Philadelphia North American
says: " Our flag has been flying in
Manila for two years, but neither
trade nor just government has fol
lowed it." Neither has peace followed
it—even of the sort made by the deso
lation of war.
TWO STORIES BY JO JEFFERSON
Joe Jefferson was asked what lie
considered the most amusing exper
ience of his stage career, particularly
in connection with his famous " Hip
Van Winkle."
" The most amusing incideut con
nected with this play," lie said, " was
the receipt of a letter from a citizen
in a small town where we had played
the night bafore. He said he had
enjoyed the performance very much,
and would not have missed it for any
thing in the world. It might be un
usual, he said, for a stranger like him
to write ills thanks to so distinguished
an actor—those arc his words, not
mine—in appreciation of the smiles
and tears of a whole evening; but
that, while he was thoroughly dis
interested in the matter, he felt under
an obligation, and would like to make
some reparation and some return for
the favor he had received as an auditor.
'I am the inventor, he wrote, of a
patent spring bed, and I would like to
send you one ol these beds as a pres
ent; all I would ask of you is just
simply, when you wake up ia the fifth
act, you would say that you wouldn't
have felt so bad if you had been sleep
ing in one of Dunk's potent spring
beds.'"
But by far the funniest experience
of his road life was furnished by the
late W. J. Florence, with whom Mr.
Jefferson was starring the New Eng
land circuit of one-night stands. Mr.
Florence loved to be called out to
make a speech before the curtaiu.
One night, in a Connecticut city, he
was called out,and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen: It is to
you that I owe all the success I have
attained in my profession. It was the
early encouragement that I received
here that prompted me to go on with
my professional work. I was here a
boy; I know you all; I recognize you
all; we knew each other, and I can
never forget the kindness that has
been showered upon me by the people
of Hartford."
A man in the audience shouted:
"This is New Haven, Mr. Florence."
"It thus behooves an actor," said
Mr. Jefferson, in telling the story,
" not only to be prepared in his
speech, but pretty well satisfied in
what place he is acting."
Doorkeeper too Much for Mansfield,
Nearly one hundred people figured
in Richard Mansfield's production of
" Cyrano de Bergerac" last season, and,
in order to prevent any outsider from
getting behind the scenes, he pro
vided each member of the company
with a ticket not unlike those used
by suburbanite commuters, which
served as a means of admittance to
the rear stage entrance and a
tally for the salary list, says the Chi
cago News. In order to see if his
orders were strictly enforced, Mans
field one evening presented himself at
the door, but as he had no ticket the
indexible guardian of the stage not
only refused him admittance, but pro
ceeded to use force to make him
move on. Wheu the joke had gone
far enough Mansfield wrenched him
self free from the grasp of the burly
custodian and asked, impressively:
" Do you know who I am?"
" No," replied the guard, eying the
speaker with distrust. "Do you be
long to the show?"
" No," laughed Mansfield, as he
started to go away; "but the show
belongs to me."
The next day the incorruptible
guardian received a raise for carrying
out his orders so unflinchingly.
Who Wouldn't be a Policeman?
The Tacoma News tells this delight
ful story of calls sometimes rung in
on the policemen of that city:
There was a woman out in the
North End the other night who was
very much in distress and called upon
the police for protection. The tele
phone rang at headquarters and the
obliging officer who manipulates the
telephone at the central station an
swered the call.
" Would you kiudly send an officer
out to No. North K street?" a
sweet voice implored.
" What's the trouble?" asked the
officer.
" I'm all alone. They have gone
away and left me here alone in the
house."
" Well, who are yon? How old are
you?" asked the officer.
" It's none of your business how old
I am," answered the voice, plainly
grieved at the query. " Can't a wo
man get scared, too?"
