The greatest shavers in the world are the Chin K v week at least one hundred million almond-eyed faces must | be cleaned by the razor, and every ten : days the hair is scraped from the scalps | surrounding at least that number of | long. bluck Chinese pi ls. The bur- bers constitute one of the most im- | portant parts of the Chinese population. They have their guilds and their trad unions, and, some years ago they brought the emperor himself to his knees. There was an edict in force that classed the barbers with lowest ranks of the Chinese people, and that prohibited them from entering the competitive examinations for officiul rank. The barbe struck, and de- wanded that this be rescinded. For weveral weeks the whole Chinese nation went unshaved, The black hair sprouted out to the length and Tness of the bristlesof the Berkshire hog, and a wail of anguish rose from the throats of wmillions of Chinese men. Public opinion has its weight in China as America, and the emperor came to torms. Now a barber’s son may become viceroy of China,und it isnot anim- possibility that a barber himself should aspire to be minister to the United States. The Chinese pig-tail sorvitude. A little mo hundred years ago the themselves on their long, black hair, which covered the whole of their heads. When they were conquered by the Man- chus, who rushed in from the north their conquerors made them shave their heads as & sign of submission. Shaved heads became the fashion, and now, even the Manchus themselves wear buld scalps, namwan has become PROUD OF HIS PIG 1L, He braids fulse hair into it to make it longer, and pieces it out with black silk thread.

I asked wy Chinese servant, while traveling through to Peking as to the prices of shaving. He told me that in the in- terior you could get a shuve for a cont, and that the prices rose wecording to the wealth of the customer. “‘Mundarins,” said he, ‘*‘often have barbers connected with their yumens, and the swell Chinnman is shuved in his own vesidence.

He has two little stools painted red, without backs, upon which his customers sit bolt up- right while they ave being shaved. These stools have draw below them in which his shaving utensils are c ried, and he goes with them hanging to the ‘ends of a pole, balanced over his shoulders, from place to place, an- nouncing his presence by an immense tuning fork, nbout ten inches long, which he pounds against the stools from time to time. He uses no soap, and often SHAVES WITIH COLD WATER. Chinese women usually dr their own hair. They paint their faces and blacken their eyebrows, pulling out the hairs in order to make the arch like that of a rainbow The heads of Chinese babies are often shaved, and, in Japan. you can tell a baby's ‘age by its hair. The fuzz is Japanese as_ soon as it is born; when it grows to the age of u certain number of months a ring of hair is allowed to re- maiu surrounding the bald oasis of the erown. A few months later a little tuft is blocked out in the center of the oasis, and a palm-treo like wisp grows upon i Then other httle wisps are allowed to come down under the ear, and, at last, the hair is grown all over the head. This shaving of the head makes the hair very stiff, and the Japanese has his head covered with stiff, black wire Helooks as if his head were one giga tic cowlick, and he has this crop to the length of about one inch. The old fashion of shaving a strip from forehead to crown, and of wearing the hair lon and doing it up on the edgs of this butl shape of an old-fashioned r, is being done away with , and you find it only in back counties, and in those who pride them- selves on belonging to the old regime. Black or dark ®rown is the common color of the hair of the east. A white- haired Yap or a yellow-haired Chinese would get into the dime museums, and both nations look upon red as the color of the head of the devil. There is a tradition in Japan that the man who drinks too much saki, or Japaneso ndy, nequires a redness of hair, and I found that MY RED HEAD CAU i) . As I traveled througi the country. The girls would nudge cach other and whis- per “saki, suki,” as they walked behind me, and now and then o Japanese hood- lum would point to m head and reel olong as though he were drunk, The common appellation for the foreigner inJapan and China is “Red-headed, blue-eyed, Devil,” and as [ fitted “into iption I was, I doubt not, the scare-crow of the chil- dren of at least two nations.

She is very modest, but she is not at all particular as to whether her dress is decollette or notduring the operation. When it is done she has her faco powdered and enameled, her eyebrows are painted, and = she has as sweet a smile as can be shown by her sex in any country of the world, The most of her beauty 3D MUCH LAUGH- razor, which is iu the shupe of a trian-~ however, disappears with maidenhood, When she is married she shaves off her eye-brows and blackens her teeth, is eyo-brow shaving aud teeth sking isono of the most disgusting of the old customs in Japan. The emp- ress and the ladies of the court are dis- couraging it, und its days ave probably numbered. It originated. I am told, in the desire of the husband to show that she cared nothing to make herself at- tractive to others after sho was married, seeming to lose sight of the fact that she might make herself disgusting even to her husband. It is on the same prin- ciple that widows shave their heads in Japan, and that old maids shave off their eye-brows in order to' show that they have given up all hope of marriage. Suppose every old maid in the United States should put her forehead into the hands of the bar- ber to-morrow, think what a havoc the ugliness produced would cause in the families owning the eighty thousand odd unmarred girls in Massachusetts. m is the LAND OF THE SHORT-IAIRED GIRL, All of the women of this country wear their bair from one to two inches long, aund their locks stand up like black or gray bristles out from their cream-col- ored faces. A Siamese buttercup of sixteon, with her plump, yellow cheeks, her bright black eyes, and her lithe, symmetrically formed frame, loosely clad in the Siamese savong, is a beauty, notwithstanding t her black hair is short, and that her teeth are reddened betel-nut chewing. She s straight as an arrow graceful as a gazello hair makes you think of the saucy page boy of the stage. Take the same girl thirty years later. Her plump cheeks are sunken, her chepk bones stand out and her jet black eyes, cull and lifeless, look out of hollow sockets. The skin of her forchead is stretched with wrinkles like the cor- rugations of a wash board, and over this stands ous this short white or gray hair. Her mouth has been discolored and spoiled with betel-nut chewing, and her collar bone is the frame upon which the parchment-like skin of her person seems to hang, The old women of Siam are the homeliest old women in the world, and1f one married a Siamese d to keep a barrel oi juard elixir on hand. This aging i mostrapid in the lower classes, vhere the work is hard and the customs he people tend to make old age come quickly. Yl ildren of Siam have their heads with the exception of a lock on rown. This not allowed to he 1 until they reach manhood, and the ceremony of cuttfng it off is oune of the grentest nts of the child’s life. The hair cutting of a prince belonging to the royal family costs thousands of dollavs. A great fenst is given and the barber who does the work receives a valuable present. He clips the locks with golden shears and_shaves thé spot with a gilded razor. When the heir apparent to the throne is shaved in this way the whole nation rejoices, There is n grand festival at Bangkok, in which the royal whits §~])llu||ls take part and feasting goes on for days, Poorer children have this hair-cutting done at a Buddhist temple, and the priest acts as barber. The Buddhist priests all over the eust shaye their heads. and there are 20,000 bare-pated priests in Bangkok alone. All of the males in the kingdom are supposed at some time in their hves to become priests, and everywh: you go you see these bare-headed, buld-headed, touch: yellow-skinnod anatomies ~stallcing wbout, with yollow sheets wrapped around their otherwise naked frames, The Burmese are PROUD OF THEIR LONG HAIR and both women and men lét their locks grow as long as they will. They are very superstitious to the day for washing the head. and they consider it unluLk) to wash the head on Mondays, Fridays or Saturdays. They W not cut tneir haiv on Mondays or Fridays nor on their birthdays, and, as the birthday of the Burman comes once a week, many of the people are restricted to four days for hair cutting. They have many superstitions in regard to their hair, and this is the same in China and Kores. 1t is a legend in China that no thick-haired man has ever held the place now occupied by by Li Hung Chang. The Chinaman thinks that the mun with a small head and long hair will die poor, and that the man whose hair turns white while he is young will be haunted by bad luck. ~ A woman whose hair is glossy, whose face is round and plump, may possibly become the wife of the em- peror, and the man with long eye- brows will live to be a hundred. Idid not see any barbers in Korea, and, as the peoplo wear their hair long, probably no demand for them. The ayerage Korean moustache is like the old joke gotten coff on that of the dude It is like a base ball game, having nine hairs on each side, and one in the middle for umpire, the Korean has any beard it is thin and straggling, and as a rule his whole strength, like that of Samsou, goes into his hair. The boys of Koreadress their hair like the school-girls of America they part it in the middle and w. it in long braids down their backs, They are not considered men until they are married, and it is at this time they are ncrmhwd to wind up their hair into a knot on top of their Reaa ara put it under their hats. One of the most in- significant and contemptible specimens of manhood in the far east is a Korean boy of forty, with his hair parted in the middle, trailing 1n a braid below his waist. Heis kicked around as though he we ix, because he hasas yet got no wife TO MAKE A MAN OF HIM, Koreans save the combings of hair, and the parings of their ,that they muy be buried with them when they die. In India everything runs by c and the barbers rank with the wash men and blycksmiths, A barber’s son is always & barber, and a barber’s daughter is gure to marry a barber. The Indian barber, like the Chinamau, travels from house to house to do his The tearries all his tools his avmiwrenpped up ‘n o cloth, when he shaves his customers, he makes him squat down on his heels and bend over his bead. | He then squats down on his own heels in front of him, and the two, without ebair or stool, do the busi- ness in the most primitive mauner. He usually shayeswith cold water, and he is a manicure a5 well as a barber. No Hindoo shayes himself, and few Hin- doos pare their.own nails. The burber is expected to take the gray hairs out of your head, m.(f mustache, and like his Chinese br he pays attention lut'lumnng!)u- ears and to shaving the face, even to the corners of the oyes. A India gets from $1 y. An ordinury sh 2 cents, and a fir cut is given for from 1 cent to a nickel. It is quite customary in the east for the families to sha heir heads when they 20 into mourning, and iy wh King dies all the people in the country are supposed to cut off their hair s0 close that their pates are ns cleun as a billiard ball. ‘The head of the corpse is shived in India, aud, while watching & body being cremated at Benares, I saw The their te, ) big citics, they ubulll a half bushel of human hair tying on the stone steps, not. fer lvom the five s l \\lmt 1 said,’ I asked where it came from and my rwde told me it had just been cut from the heads of the friends and relatives of the deceased. The Indian barber is a well as a shave He hores the holes in the girls’ ears and pierces their noses for the nose ring. He often acts as A PROFESSIONAL MATCHMAKER, and his wife is a Iz hair dresser. She trims the nails of the bride for wed- dings, and takes off the fine ciothes of the widow, and dresses her in her funeral garments. 1had these Hindoo barbers meet me at every station 1n India, and thay were always within call at lhe hotels.
