Some writer has given the following
description of ‘‘the first shave. ”
"The first time in a barber’s shop is an
event of importance in every young
man’s life. He will wait, in some oases,
three weeks after determining to do it,
and on the eventful day he has bean
known to sneak by the shop seventeen
times, summing up his courage for this
trying ordeal On entering the door he
feels that every one in the room knows
that this is his first appearance, and
that they are microscopically searching
for his beard. The barber gives him a
bard look when notifying him that it is
now his turn. But ho is determined to
put on a stiff upper lip, si worldly
people say, and go through the opera
tion with the stoicism of a veteran. He
ia remarkably aenaitive to ridicule, and
not fot the world would ho have the
barber know that this was his first shave.
So he sits on the am'of the chair, in
stead of on the scat, and in getting
down lies too far back. When told to
bring np his head, ho hastily does it,
and knocks over the stool in the opera
tion. This causes the blood to rnsh to
his face, and the embarrassment which
prodnoos it is not at all modified by de
tecting the barber exchanging significant
glances with the ojienitor at the next
chair. When the lather is being put
on, he cannot control the working of his
imagination, and he finds himself pos
sessed of an irresistible desire to smile
sheepishly. This proneness to grin
inexplicable, but it is inseparable from
the first shave, and the victim is oblige*
to resort to every facial artifice to over
come it, and then doesn't succeed. ”
The above is true to nature, but it is
not nature enongh. The writer shonh:
have gone on to state how the young
fellow feels for about six months before
* he gets up oourage to go to a barber
shop, and how he looks at that cater
piller-looking, monldy-oomplooted stufl 1
on his upper lip. He sees the fuzz on
his lip before anybody else does, and ho
wonders that all the world ia not on to
it. He goes closer to his girl, on the
way home from school, hoping she will
tee it, and if she does, and speaks of it,
before he has called her attention to the
phenomenon, he is very happy, and
votes her one of the most discerning
women in the world* and ho resolves to
make her his wife, if he lives. After his
girl has spoken of the hair on his lip,
the boy feels better, and when ho goes
into the presence of grown people, ho
expects they will at onoe stop all con
versation and call attention to his lip,
and when they go on talking alsnit
something else, he feels hurt, and when
some one tells him to go to the door and
let the dog in, or bring in some wood,
he feels crushed, and thinks such re
marks should be addressed to children,
and not to men who have hair on their
lips.
From the time a boy first notices the
dew on his upper lip, to the time the
moustache is unmistakable, which is
abont a year and a half, he is miserable.
He does not go to a barber at first, bat
confides in his father, If he has one, and
the father finally gets out his razor and
shaves the boy’s npper lip, for a joke,
partly because lie was a t>oy once him-
arif. But during the operation the
father makes the boy feel small by tell
ing him that the razor is spoihHl, the
edge all taken off, and finally paralyzes
the youth by showing him the lather in
which there ia not a sign of a hair.
After this operation the boy rubs his
Ungers on his lip and he can feel the
board, and it is harsh, and pricks his fin
gers, and he wants to go right off and
rnb that lip against the choek of his
girl, to show , Lei 1 that the world moves.
Then he waits weary months for it t<
and wonders how it is
recognize him With his
moustache cut off. When it comes out
again he takes his father’s razor, while
the folks ftroto"church and shaves him
self. His parents know what ho has
done, when they come home by the
blood on the towel, and the court-plaster
at the corner of his month, where he has
gouged himself while trying to look
cross-eyed in a mi?ror, and shave him
self left-handed. The next time the
beard oomos ont he calls up all his reso
lution and goes to a tmrlier, and this is
where the above quoted remarks are
pertinent to his ease. But the writer
above has not told half of the annoyance
the barber gives the loy. The first
thing the barber does is to put a cloth
around the boy’s neck, and take down a
pair of shears. Though the boy's hair
may be as short os pie crust, the barber
pretends he supposes the hoy wants'his
hair cut, and the poor bey lias to strug-
with his voice, and bring it away
ont of his throat, and say he wants to be
■haved. The barber lays down the
bean, comes np to the trembling boy,
laid oat in a choir, looks at him, and
■aya, "Where?” That is the trying
time fear the boy. He feels that he would
like to murder that barter, and be wonld
give all he has got if he oould get out of
that shop, but he has to put his finger
on hk upper lip, and in a firm voiod say,
“There!” though he feels nfere like cry
ing, Then the barber says "Oh,” in a
ton* of voice that sounds as though It
was all he oould do to keep from snort
ing right out laughing. In about two
seconds the barber has the boy shaved,
aadaays “next,” and the boy gets out
of the chair in a profuse perspiration,

that people rec
One of Maine’s midwinter industries
that outsiders hear little or nothing about
is that of smelting—not mei tiny toon,
but fishing for a little silvery sealed fish,
something akin to the shiner end perch,
and very palatable—in fact a metropoli
tan delicacy. One of the principal fish
ing grounds is at the head of Patten’s
Bay, in the town of Surry, Hancock
county. Here, about the month of a
little stream, the smelts swarm from
Novemter to February, and many peo
ple'of the neighborhood find a lucrative
occupation in angling for them. There
are now fifty men fishing at Surry, each
man occupying a little tent on the ice.
In one side of the tent is an opening,
directly in front of which is a sqnalfe hole
in the ice. At the top of the opening or
door is hnng a pole, in horiaontal posi
tion, from which depend six lines about
a foot apart. The hooks are baited with
a part of a smelt’s telly, thrown in and
then the fisher sits him down and watohes.
When a line is swayed to one aide or
otherwise agitated he quickly pulls it in,
and with it a smelt When luck is " big ”
a single fisher sometimes takes as high
as 150 pounds a day; when it is poor,
tldrty or forty pounds; and the Average
is, say, fifty ponnds a day. The fish are
laid on lioarda while limp and allowed to
freeze straight and stiff. They are then
I>aoked in barrels and shipped to Boston
and Now York commission merchants.
The rommissinn men sell the fish, take
out their commission fee and the freight
charges and remit lbe balance to,the
fisherman. The smelts can be sold on
the ice, just as they are caught, for tive
cents a pound. Saturday a boy of fif
teen years caught sixty pounds of smelts
in a few hours and sold them on the spot
for $100. But only a few of the fishers,
those who ore neediest and want money
immediately, sell at thia rate, for by send
ing them to Now York and Boston they
can realize eight to ten cents per pound.
The fishermen are sailor* farmers and”
miscellaneous mea-alougshore. They
often make good wages for two mouths.
One man made $100 in one month laat
"inter. A conple of Bangor fishers se
cured sixty ponnds in four hears one day
recently. Tlie fishing begins at abont
two hours flood, that ia, two hours after
the tide tegins to rise, and oontinnestill
high water. The fish first swim low, bnt
toward high water they come within two
feet o( the sarfaoe. Boon night fishing
will oommonoe; now all the operations
are conducted by day. - After the first of
February the fish begin to go off-into
deep water. Many smelts are also caught
in the Penobscot river for a distance of
several miles np and down near Ban
gor, but here they are taken with dip
nets, like tom-cods.

Coughs and colds are prevalent now.
especially among children, too often
from the ignorance or carelessness o
their elder guardians. Many mothers
appear to accept with resignation the
repeated and violent colds from which
their children suffer as providential am
unavoidable. A cold is by no means
always duo to exposure. Indigestion,
constipation, a lack of scrupulous clean
linens, the unwise habit of sleeping in
much of tlie clothing worn daring the
d»y, nnaiml ted chamters—all, or any
>f th;>se things may have far more to do
"ith your child's tendency to cold than
the keenest breath of the bracing winter
air. And in great measure these things
are under your control Mothers should
understand that it is a fact, whether
hey can see it or not, that nnmerons
colds and sore throats are directly
traceable to indigestion and dietetic
errors. Quantities of greasy food, fried
moats, pastry, and the like, ill-ventilated
rooms, and con tinned constipation, have
to answer for many cases of croup and
putrid sore throats. All them things
weaken the system and render it far Ism
able to resist changes of tempei^ture.
Give every bedroom a thorough airing
every day, more especially if several
children are obliged to sleep together,
or with their parents. This is to te
avoided, if possible; if nbt, always lower
a window slightly from the top—or if
this cannot be done, raise it from below.
There is frequently had air enongh gen

apartment of a family with small chil

but with a numteF of so-called "ma

prolific source of colds. A child from
throe to ten years old should certainly
receive an entire bath twice a week in.

special core to avoid any chill after, will
frequently break np a sudden cold.
Keep children from playing in chilly,
unused rooms in autumn and winter

much as possible, taking care to have
their feet warm and dry. A flannel suit
and rubber overshoes will often save
much medicine and doctor’s bills. Keep

One particular mule—the meanest brute
that ever wore long ears—too stnbteru

Sturm, which lasted about twenty min

We were about a mile away from the
nearest point of shelter—a village of
rough clap-board houses, which had
l>oen run up in a day or so with the
first talk of building a road. So, after
the storm, for this village we started.
Wet to the skin we waded across the in

town we found the usual Western hos
pitality. To our demand for a fire by
which to dry our clothing the landlord
replied that we should have one just as
soon as he oould hunt up the necessary
fuel. In the course of an hour the fire was
started and around it we clustered, and
by' alternating "fore and aft,” drying
ofltside and wetting inside, we finally
succeeded in restoring circulation.

I became s teste taler, although when 1

“Did yon drink much prior to 1847?”
“Well, I wouldn’t have allowed any

When I built my magnificent Oriental

took my bottle of champagne, or its
equivalent in other wines or malt liquors.
1 did no business after noon, and my
mother-in-law used to say sometimes
that I was * heady * after dinner. I felt
quite offended at the suggestion and
threatened to go book to whisky if it
was repeated, for I really considered my
self quite a temperance man, since I
drank only wine, and thought my after-
dinner feelings were doe to overeating
rather than drinking. Bnt I got the
Rev. Dr. Chapin to come np to Bridge
port and deliver a temperance lecture,
for the subject of which he took ' the
moderate drinker,’ and I‘'saw myself in
quite a new light. I realized for the first
time the bad example I was setting, and
when I went home that night was so
worried that I oould scarcely sleep. The
next morning I had my coachman knock
the necks off all the champagne bottles
I had in my cellar, some five - or six.

pains had liecome more severe, so much so
that it was with difficulty that I was able to

various remed.es w.thout any apparent re

I commenced taking Hunt's Remedy, ah ut
