No More Mme. Angots.

Another of the legendary institutions of Paris Is about to disappear. The Dames des Halles, who have been such a gold mine to the comedian, the caricaturist, the literary humorist and the curious sightseer for many a generation, are being improved cfiit of existence by sections. Room is wanted for the wholesale market, and the retail women stall holders must go. A beginning is being made witli the poultry sellers, and they will be followed by others. What the Halles will be without the raov tongues, the “florid” speech, the quick sally and the prompt repartee of its famous women no Parisian dares even to speculate.—London Globe.

A Progressive Barber. A Waterville (Me.) barber has a unique contrivance in his shop. It is a large enunciator about two and a half feet in diameter and works on the same principle as the date indicator on the face of a clock. The numbers run from one to forty. The idea is that when a man goes in he takes a card from a spindle on a stand by the door, and every time a chair is empty the barber presses the electric button, and the Indicator moves up a number. When a man’s number rings up he takes his turn. Come to The Democrat - office or all kinds of job printing.
