BRS NAMES OF THE "RES PLACARDED ae) : A Practice Worthy of Adoption in Washington. ANTISEPTIC. . TONSORIALISM Staff Correspondence of The Evening Star. HARRISBURG, Pa., December 9, 1897. The most attractive spot in Pennsylva- nia’s capital is Capitol Square. Just now there is an aching void in its center mark- ing the site of the capitol building destroy- ed last year by fire, and alcng the edges of the terraces in several places are long, high piles of bricks reclaimed from the rvins of the structure. Still the attractive- ness of the park is not seriously impaired by these drawbacks. It is about as long as our Judiciary Square in Washington, though not quite as wide, but decidedly mere impressive. It occupies an eminence rising abruptly from the surrounding busy streets, with broad walks traversing it in every direction, ahd from State street, both on the cast and west sides, are imposing entrances up broad flights of stone steps. Upon the summit are the public buildings, of brick and stucco, and the very handsome marble building devoted to the executive offices of the state. The colonnade en- trance to the latter building is architec- turally imposing, and the vast hall which gives entrance is really remarkable for chaste elegance cf conception and treat. ment. At the rear of the executive buil ing are several conservatories filled with piants and flowers, and standing to the south is a marble monument, a shaft sur- mounted by a statue of Winged Victory. commemoraticn of the valor of the P sylvania soldiers who lost their liv the Mexican war. The grassy slopes well covered with trees, which are pop lated with a small colony of tame gray squirrels, some of which are constant scurces of interest and amusement from the fecrless manner in which they take nuts from persons’ hands. The veteran animal of them all is popular under the name of Billy. He ran up my leg this morning and clambered to my outstretched arm and reached my hand, where* he se- cured a pecan nut, and then jumped away to carry it to his storehouse. ‘The trees In the park are specimens of the various spe- cjes native to Pennsylvania, and each par- ticular variety bears an’ iron hung upon a stout s ar ing the technical and common name of the tree, the Latin above and the English be- neath in raised letters. ‘This struck me as a very wise and judicious thing, and one that could be followed to excellent advan- tage in Washington. There is a legend here that when the placards were first put up they were merely hung on hooks and the omnipresent and mischievous small boy changed them. Consequently they were properly redistrib- uted and more thoroughly secured. 1 return to the admirable part of the sy: tem, and to suggest a similar one in Was ington, it seems to me to be peculiarly adapted for the capital of the nation. I took at random copies of some of the placards. Here they are: In the public parks and lining the strects and avenucs of Washington is the Breates arboreal collection in the world, probably, and if all the various species were desig- nated as the trees are here in the Capitol Park {t would prove not only interesting, but instructive to thousands upon thou- sands of people. An Antiseptic Tonsorialist. Walking out of the park the other day to 3d street, which is its western boundary, T espied a sign cn the window of a shop reading “Antiseptic Tonsoriallst.” My ris bilities were tickled, and, needing a shave, I concluded te patronize the place. En- tering. I found myself in a neat, clean room, containing two barber chairs, @md the equipments usual to such a busines There was a fresh, balsamic odor in the air, A mulatto, with an unusually intelli- gent face, square, determined jaw, pleasant mouth and strong black eyes, arose from a seat as I entered. “Is this the carbolical hirsute-removing establishment?” I inquired. The man smiled wearily. “Yes, sir,” he replied, turning on the warm water at a stationary washstand and proceeding to wash his hands. “Take a chair, sir.” “I see,” he remarked politely, as he dried his fingers, “that you are like many other gentlemen, who regard my window sign humorously.” I was struck with the man’s tone and language. I had just been reading about the movement in France in favor of com- pelling reform in the management of bar- ber shops, and had seen a recent item about tne beginning of such a movement in Baltfmore. I ¢traightened up in the chair. “Does that sign mean what it says?” I inquired. “Precisely,” was the reply. practical antiseptic barber shop. “Tell me all about it, and give me an ob- ject lesson,” I said, lying back to be lath- ered. The proprietor took a small piece of shav- ing soap. “You see, sir,"’ he said, “I place this soap in an absolutely clean cup. I use a differ- ent piece for each customer. I take my brush, you see, from a sterilizing drawer.” Here ‘he pulled open a small drawer in a square tin box about two and a half feet each way, with a series of gas jets under- neath it. The brush was hot and as dry as tinder. “I keep my towels in this larger compartment. When they come from the wash they are placed in there and left all night at a temperature of 300 degrees. That sterilizes them completely, as you are aware that germ life cannot exist at that temperature.” The AppHances in Une. ‘The man was getting very interesting. I got up out of the chalr. “Before you shave me,” I said, “show me all your outfit. Then you can talk while you work.” The oven-like tin box was composed of the large compartment containing the tow- els, and on the side Was a series of draw- ers, Three of them contained shaving brushes; three others contained combs and brushes, the former of aluminum and the backs of the latter of the same material. The bristles were as/élean as the shining acks. “J use all the shaving brushes and the sets of combs and brushes-in rotation,” he said. “In this,” he remarked, calling attention to a round copper boiler with a half cover containing ‘interstices, “I clean my shav- ing brushes and my razors. Now this razor lilade looks perfectly clean. I put a razor in the boiling water a minute and then wipe it on a piece of chamois skin.” . He did this and held up the skin. “You see, the skin has black streaks on it. You can’t make a razor too clean to put it on a customer's face.”” The razor had an aluminum handle, as had all the others in the shop. “I thought out all this thing myself,” he said, when I got back in the chair. disgusted with the dirt in the barber bus- ‘This is a iness.

Now, a man’s hair is the dirtiest part of him, but the barber dcn’t usually do anything but wipe his hands after rubbing up a man’s head.” What a Barber Should Know. All the time he was talking he was shav- ing me with the delicate touch of an artist. “It seemed to me that a barber,” he con- tinued, “should be something more than a shaver of faces and a cutter of hair. I believed the trade should be elevated into a profession, and I believe it yet. A barber should know the character and what will relieve, if not absolutely cure, barber's itch, tetter and other diseases of the skin. He should, at any rate, exercise such pre- cautions 1s will prevent him being the medium of transmitting skin and stalp dis- ases from patrons aiHicted by them to those who are not. All these appliances here are my own ideas. I would have an assistant here, but it is difficult to secure a barber who is willing to give up his old tricks. It would be regurded as an insult if one were compelled to wash his hands before he approached a customer and also dip the fingers in an antiseptic solutioa after washing them, as I do.” The shaving was finished and with a clean towel and running water the remains of the lather were removed. My face was then rubbed with cocoa butter and this in turn was wiped off. Then magnesia was applied from a dry towel. Upon sitting up my scalp was thoroughly brushed. When I got out of the chair I handed Stewart a quarter. He returned 15 cents. It was the most satisfactory shave I had ever experi- enced in a public barber shop and it eost 10 cents. While I was replacing my collar the barber carefully washed out the cup and turned it upside down to dry. The piece of soap was put under the spiggot and laid aside. The brush was treated to similar ablution and put in the oven drawer and the comb and brush similarly attend- ed to. Six times since then I have seen precisely the same operations repeated and enjoyed the excellent shaves preliminary to them. Every man who patronizes public barber shops will realize what opportunities there are for safe, clean work when here in Har- risburg an intelligent loréd man has ac- complished the reform and illustrated how easy it is to carry out the adage, ‘“Cleanli- ness is next to ness.’ CLUSKEY CROMWELL. g ——— Mra.

Michael Pursell, a boilermaker, was mak- ing some repairs inside the smokestack of the steamer Wellington, at the Folsom street wharf, San Francisco, when six fires were started below him. He was strapped on a chair suspended from the top of the stack, about forty feet from the dampers kelow. It was imposstble to go up, and to go down without assistance meant being roasted alive on the hot dampers. Dense volumes of hot smoke began rolling up the stack, and Pursell loudly shouted for help, The heat increased every moment, until the boilermaker’s clothing caught fire. He beat on the iroy with all his power and shouted for fully ten mmutes before his helper on the outside, Martin Philpot, realized his plight, and rescued him just as the rope Supporting him was catching fire. Pursell is in a critical condition, ~—see. “Want” ads. in “The Star pay athe because
