“CRANKS" IN BARBER CHAIRS.
A Starker Waxes Eioquect Over tbe Men
Who Do Not Share Themselves.
“Cranks In barber chairs?" said the
barber, letting down the head rest and
tacking In the towel, “thousands of
’em. There Isn’t one man In a thou
sand who comes into this shop who has
not his own notion about the way I
should cut his hair, trim his beard or
handle a razor on his face.
“Not too close? All right, sir.
“Now, there’s the man who thinks
that the barber is going to miss a single
hair somewhere on his face. It is a
mania with him. lie insists upon get
ting up and looking into the mirror.
He feels of his face carefully. lie asks
you to go over it again; ho
“Only once? All right, sir.
“There's the man who thinks that
he chew* his mustache, and wants me
to trim the split hairs. Another one
knows that his lmir is stubborn, and
makes me cut it in one direction. It
wouldn't be a bit stubborn if lie allowed
ine to follow it, but lie looks solemn
and tells me that ho liar, straggled with
that head of liair for forty-two years.
He
“No powder? All right, sir.
“Then there's the man who detests
bay nun. He isn’t so bad, though, ns
the man who always takes a dry sluuu
poo.
“ ‘Other kind always gives me a eold,'
lie says.
“ ‘When your head is carefully dried V
I say.
“ 'Can’t stand having iny head wet,’
he sayß.
“ ‘Ever try a good shampoo ?’ I say.
“‘No, sir,'he says, ‘don't you sup
pose I know whether or not I am sub
ject to colds V
“Don't twist your mustaeho? All
right, sir. Now that’s funny. The
man whb just got out of the chair be
fore you took it always lias his curled.
When I suy: ,
“ ‘Have It curled, sir,’ he Says:
“ ‘I don't know; what d’ye think?'
“ 'Needs it, sir.'
“ ‘Oh, nil right. 1
“But if 1 forget to ask him he gets
mad and forgets to tip me. That's tho
way. You see
“Comb it straight down? All right,
sir.
•‘You sco they’re all different. One
man says:
“ ‘Cut it squaro across the front. I’ve
got, a little bald spot there.'
“Hasn’t any bald spot at all. Wants
It banged, but doesn’t liko to say so.
“Whftl 0 hat? Too near the middle!
All right, sir.
“One man who comes in here always
brushes his own hair when I get through
with him. He tliiuks no one else can
do It tho way he does it.
“ ‘Old trick of mine,’ lie says; ‘took
me years to learn it. 801110 day I’ll
show it to you.’ lie
“How’s that? Your chin? Oh, yes,
a little alum will do that.
“I wus saying there’s tho man
who
“Mo brilliantino on your mustache!
Cosmetic? No? All rigid, sir.
“This man I started to tell you
about, lie
“Little powder on your nose? All
right, sir. Thank you, sir. Come in
some day again and I’ll tell yon more
about ’em. I’ve just got started on
’em. Nino hundred and ninety-nine
men out of a . Good daj, sir.”—

Widespread Ignorance About Clocks.
There is a good deni of popular ig
norance on tho subject of managing
watches and clocks. Many people
manage to never have the right time,
and expend a good deal of money on
repairs of their timepieces that could
be saved by rudimentary instruction.
Pendulum clocks are especially liable
to give much trouble to the careless or
tho ignorant, or to those who will not
take the trouble to learn how to use
them properly. There are many costly
pendulum clocks that never tell the
time, because tho owners have given
them up in despair, although there
may be nothing the matter with the
clocks except that they are not level or
that the delicate pendulum has got dis
arranged by some ignorant twist. —New

Orator* and Big Mouths.
AU good orators have most abnor
mally wide mouths. Tills is the direct
consequence of their habit of using
sonorous words, and speaking with do
liberation and correct pronunciation.
If one practices this Indore the glass
one cau see that the muscles in the
oheoks are stretched more than ordi
warily, and the mouth Is extended a
great deal more than in every day con
versation. Then, too, nature has
something to do with it. A large
mouth, like a prominent nose, is a sign
of power. But all men with big mouths
are not orators. Thank heaven for
that!—Detroit Free Press.

one of them:
Teacher—lf you were skating south
and tiie wind was in your face, which
way would you call the wind ?
Boy—-1 should soy southeast.
Teacher—Now if you were to turn
right about and the wind should be in
yotir face, what would you call that?
