A  BARBEEOUS  STORY. 
Tub  following  humorous  account  of  tho  way 
German  barbers  treat  their  vlcllms  l.s  supposed  to 
he  wTltton  by  a  California  boy  to  hl.s  home  people : 
1  had  my  hair  cut  yestorday  for  the  second  time 
since  I  have  been  here.  The  barbers  hero  must 
be  licensed  as  professional  torUirers  by  Uio  Gov- 
eriuneiit.  1  wlUdewjrlbe  the  nnmv^i  opt^tuntL,  and 
I  tlUiik  that  you  will  agree  In  niy  opinion  of  them. 
They  seat  you  on  a  chair  .and  then  tic  a  kind  of 
night-gown  around  you,  taking  care  not  to  tuck  It 
in  .at  the  neck,  and  then  tlicy  commence  opera¬ 
tions  with  a  grand  flourish  of  a  big  pair  of  shears, 
which  look  large  euough  to  cut  your  head  off. 
They  then  proceed  to  cut  the  hair  at  the  back 
part,  of  the  licod.  This  to  done  In  au  arttoUc  man¬ 
ner  by  pulling  a  couple  handfuls  of  hair  out  by  the 
roots  and  reducing  tho  person  being  operated  on 
to  A  auto  bordering  on  Insanity.  After  having 
uiade  the  patient  sufUclently  nervoua  they  begin 
operations  around  tlie  ears.  They  go  along  pretty 
MiooUiiy  fur  a  few  seconds— ju.st  long  enough  to 
delude  the  poor  follow  into  tJie  belief  that  Ids 
sufferings  are  at  an  end,  when  down  comes  tho 
shears  onto  hto  ear,  cutting  off  the  tip  and  ex¬ 
tracting  a  howl  of  pnln  and  rage  from  the  sufferer. 
Tho  barber  swille©  blandly  and  mssurcs  him  that  It 
to  notlilng,  only  h  scratoli,  aud  iilso  tolto  1dm  that 
ho  should  have  dodged  the  shears.  The  poor  fel¬ 
low  now  concludes  that  he  w  ill  do  b  to  best  to  dodge 
the  next  cut,  and  successfully  eludes  six  or  seven 
w«U-dlreetcd  blows,  when  the  barber  resolves  on 
strategy.  He  geus  directly  behind  l.Uc  chair,  places 
the  shears  In  hto  rlglit  baud  near  the  right  ear  of 
tho  person,  then  taps  the  left  ear  smartly  with  hto 
first  finger  of  the  left  hand.  'I'bc  victim  Immcdi- 
auay  throws  bis  bead  to  tlie  right  to  escape  the 
expected  blow  on  the  left,  when  down  comes  the 
shears  on  tho  right  car,  cutting  a  good-slzed  chunk 
off,  at  sight  of  which  the  harbor  seta  up  a  shout  of 
delight  and  dances  around  the  room  In  a  state  of 
the  greatest  sartoCactlon. 
He  now  proeeeda  to  nnl.sli  you  off  by  cutting  the 
D-ont  part  of  tho  hair,  and  evei-y  Icck  tliat  be  cuts 
Off  he  throws  directly  In  your  fane.  Expostulation 
to  useless,  for  the  minute  you  open  yoiu-  mouth  to 
say  anything,  you  get  a  handful  of  hair  thrown 
In,  which  effectually  prevents  further  utterance. 
When  he  has  entirely  flutohed  cutting  your  hair 
he  takes  as  much  as  he  can  hold  In  both  hands 
and  deUborately  thrusts  It  down  your  back,  and 
under  pretenso  of  blowing  tho  loo«$e  hair  from  off 
thcooat-collaraad  neck  ho  blows  it  further  down. 
Then  he  releases  the  sufferer  and  receives  his 
money  with  a  polite  bow  and  shows  him  to  the 
door  very  nicely,  leaving  the  pei-son  to  wander 
home  111  a  thoughtiul  mood  and  saying  naughty 
words  which  are  e.xpre8Sly  forbidden  in  the  Ten
