ODD NOTIONS OF- BARBERS.
Shaving a* M Art—B»» mu Apprentice
Leers. tit Tmm1«.
There are two superstitions yet found
among barbers. Yean ago barbers were
among tho moat superstitious ci work¬
men. If he cut a man on Monday, the
barber wo* sure lie would cut seven men
'before Sunday. If the first customer in
the morning complimented bun. be would
get little but grumbles and curses for the
rest of the day. If he didn’t receive at
least one tip above the regular fees on
Monday, the week would be a bod one.
These beliefs are rapidly disappearing.
There are two cnr kms facts about razors,
that still give rise to general su-
and probably always wilL It
that after long continuous
me it is difficult to give a razor an
edge. The knowing hand will quietly
lay It away with the remark that the
razor is "tired” and “needs rest.”
After letting it “sleep” a few days—
that Is, sHtnfy not using it, the razor
is found to ul i good condition. Few
barbers nttemp j explain this. But the
explanan n fa riple. The edge of a
razor coi ts < ( a series of microscopic
teeth. 1- ig continuous use wears these
down. ii< -pite Atroppings, and it needs
the oxidation which time only can pro¬
vide to bring out again the microscopic
roughness. Another peculiarity of tho
razor is that, though in splendid condi¬
tion when last used, it sometimes posi¬
tively refuses to take an edge when put
cn the hone in the morning. A few
boars later It will take an edge beauti¬
fully. This is due to the same principle
of oxidation. Barl*-r= will sometimes
say a razor Is '.. .'* by which they
main that it re: > take an edge, al¬
though not made • lired" by long pre¬
vious work. Some razors, because of pe¬
culiarities in the grades of steel, are
more apt to be "balky" than others.
“Do barbers allow superstitions to af¬
fect tbetf method of shaking?” was
aaked'of a Broadway veteran.
•’There fa only one method of shav¬
ing,” said the barber; "there never lias
been but on< - - i there never will be
more. The 1- ; .rubs the lather into
your stub unti Sings to the face itself.
To accomplish . he has first sponged
lr face with water to remove skin
secretions. When first put on the lather
sticks on top of the stub and doe* not
touch the skin much. Rubbing brings It
into the skin. It also softens the beard,
and a barber always lathers you before
he strops his razor, so as to give the
lather time to get in its work. Then
when he shaves you it is always with the
grain. That fa, every distinct portion of
your face fa shaved in the direction the
hair grows. If this rule were not fol¬
lowed the toughest skin would, an
hour later, show abrasions, and erup¬
tions would come. After the face is
once shaved, the barber 6fcaves it
again for closeness. This second shave
may safely be against the grain. Most
faces can stand the second shave against
the grain, but there are some men with
stiff beards, too, whose skin is so tender
that they can only bo shaved one way.
The barber can never know positively
from the appearance or touch of a skin
whether or not it can stand the second
shave. That ia something the owner of
tho face must discover by experience.
So when ho shaves a stranger, unless he
fa sure be has a tough skin, the barber
asks, sifter the first shave, if the man de¬
sires it close. The razor is placed nearly
flat with tho face. The free hand draws
every bit of skin tight before he shaves
over it Some barbers pick up the skin
between their fingers, others merely press
it tight Practically, though, every bar¬
ber the world over shaves the same way.
“He has no room, therefore, to bring
In superstitions, so bound fa he by the
recognized principles of the art, except
m such little details as beginning the
shave on the right or left side of the face,
shaving the upper lip before or after the
chin, and other things of that kind.
Every barber has 6omo little maxims of
his own about these unimportant items,
and some believe that bad luck attends
the man who doesn’t share every face in
precisely the samo manner regarding
these little details."
“How do men learn to bo barbers?”
was asked of a barber who shaves law¬
yers and bankers in Wall street.
“You’ve got to pay for it, "said the
barber. "Hebe and there you will find
a barber who keeps a sort of school, and
charges a round price to give lessons.
They allow the learners to practice when
they gain a little deftness on the chins of
unsuspecting chance customers. Gener¬
ally, though, a boy who wants to be a bar¬
ber fa bound out to a regular barber for
two years. jThe barber exacts $25 or moro
a year and the boy's entire service. In re¬
turn he boards and lodges him,and makes
him a good barber. My own experience
fa a fair sample case. I was only 14 when I
was bound to a barber not In this city.
I paid $25 cash down, and got half a
bed and poor board. They put me on
lathering first. Lathering looks easy, and
fa easy, too; but you’ve no idea how
awkwardly a new man will go about it
So, when there were no customers around
my boss would have one of the workmen
Ue down in a choir and set mo to lather¬
ing his face. There fa a knack in getting
over a soapy face deftly and quickly.
Sometimes you use your fingers, other
times the palm. An even pressure
fa required that isn’t easy to get.
If you press too hard you make it
uncomfortable for tho man you’re lather¬
ing. The boss stood over me in these
lessons and taught me tho points, one at
a time. Then 1 lathered the face of a
customer while the boss got ready to
shave him. For several months I had to
stand behind the boss’ chair while he
was shaving and watch every motion of
his hand and wrist—for a barber only
uses the hand and wrist in shaving.
Then, after shaving an imaginary face or
two under the eyes of a barber to show
me tho way a razor is held and moved, I
was put to practice on the faces of the em¬
ployes. My boss stood over mo and
watched every motion. Then he made
me shave him. I trembled so that I cut
him. It was a long, long time before
they let me touch a customer, and then
only when some good natured fellow who
came often and knew mo invited me to
try my hand upon his chin. Once in tho
traces I got confidence and was a good
Garber. Then my boss bad a good barber
oound to him for over a year yet at no
but board, and he was to get $23
•.<> boot, too, which was what I had
i^reed to give him for the second year an
well as the first." —New York Sun.

A GREAT NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC
NEWSPAPER.
The Stab fa the only New York newspaper
possessing the fullest confidence of the Na¬
tional Administration and the United Dem¬
ocracy of New York, the political battle
ground of the Republic.
Jeffersonian Democracy, pure and simple,
fa good enough for the Stab. Single hand¬
ed among the metropolitan press, it has
stood by the men called by the great Democ¬
racy to redeem the government from
twenty-five years of Republican wastefulness
and corruption and despotism to the South.
For these four years past it has been unswerv
ing in its fidelity the administration of Grov¬
er Cleveland. It is for him now—for Clevec-
land and Thurman—for four years more of
Democratic honesty In onr national affairs,
and of cor.Mcned national tranquility and
prosperity.
For people who like that sort of Democ racy
the Stab fa the paper to read.
The Stab stands squarely on the National
Democratic platform. It believes that any
tribute exacted from the people in excess of
the demands of a government economically
administered is essentially oppressive and
dishonest. The scheme fostered and cham¬
pioned by the Republican part-of making the
government a miser, wringing millions an
nu&lly from the people and locking them up
in vaults to serve no purpose but invite waste
fulness and dishonesty, it regards as a mon¬
strous crime against the right of American
citizenship. Republican political jugglers
may call it ‘'protective taxation;" the Stab’s
name for it is robbery.
Through and through the Stab is a great
newspaper. Its tone fa i ore and wholesome,
its news serviee unexceptionable. Each Issue
presents an epitome of what fa best worth
knowing of the world’s history of yesterday.
Its stories are told in good, quick, pictur-
eque Edglish, and mfahty interesting read¬
ing they are.
The Sunday Stab is as good as the best
class magazine, and prints about the same
amount of matter. Besides the day’s news
it fa rich in special descriptive articles, sto
lies, snatches of current literature, reviews,
art criticism, etc. I> lette’s inimatible hu¬
mor sparkles in it- < ms; Will Carleton’s
