Further on hi his lecture he gave figures of some of ike queer marine monsters winch have from time to time frightened Bailors and 'oth ers almost to death, deftly drawing each of the figure* on a blackboard specially provided for the occasion. Mr. Gorman also spoke of a most re markable recent discovery which lias brought to light a upeciea ,of shark gen erally believed to have become extinct many thousands of years ago, the re main* of the animal being now found in the rocks of the Devonian system. He is of the opinion that this recently discov ered sea tiger is the original of more than one blood curdling sea serpent story. The length and general outlines of this should be forailed shark are huch as to cause any one except a born naturalist to take it for an immense serpent, an opinion which would, of coarse, be heightened by viewing a dorsal exposure of the creature through a glass iu a Iron bled sea. Professor Gannan does not discredit •imjmrpent stories, however, and is of the opinion that there are many slimy monsters lying far down ui>on the bot tom of the sea, t he like of which human eyes have never yet beheld.—St Louis Republic. FrofaNilonal Men May Advert!**. I am firmly of the opinion that there is a profitable field for development in the direction of advertising by professional men. After giving the subject a good deal of thought and weighing the ob jections already raised and to be antici pated I have a settled conviction that the lawyer, the doctor, the dentist, the jtect or any other prufewriunal man can call tp bis aid tha limitless power ol |irinterR’ ink, a:$ advertise iu display typo in the advertising carl tun us of the newspaper or magazine to his advantage and without loss of self respect or public estimation. This question haft voceivod the attention of professional men as the advertising fraternity, and, with due respect to those who have discussed it, I maintain that they have failed to approach the subject from its true point of observation. , I am aware that custom and a sup posed pawntteu law, which i* foetered- by the exclusive 'and snper^liguified ele- ; meat of all professions, frown upon the mere mention of this subject. It does not follow that their ban of displeasure and sarcastic comments in any manner •* reflect upon the enterprising and inde pendent man, who, confident of his own worth, his professional ability, moral and social equality, trampling on cus tom, appeals to the common sense -of the public for the correctness of his acts and motives.—A.

A Persian barber works iu a style very dififereot from that in vogue in this country. A typical shop was a square room, with one side open to the street. In the center wa* a tiny bed of flowers sunk in the floor, from the middle of which rose an octagonal stone column about throe feet high. The capital of the column formed a receptacle for thn water iu which the barber dipped his hand as he •hared his customer’s scalp. In Persia they do not lather. The shop was very dean. In two recesses stood four vases filled with flowers, and the implements of tho barber’s art —scissors, razors, lan cets, hand mirrors, large pincers to ex tract teeth, branding irons to cauterize f*n*w Tkrr* TIiii^mA IWIHr. >.'»r Inth.lr.iwr |.h t ;H«ui.w k-v . rf Ih-y I ...I w lirw^fi.mlth -||» iH—HufirT —■* w kirk Tnu l.u urn llial StaiMAt. ^ monrT At n». h.Im.
