"I wonder if there is any other ordinary, every day business about which people havo such mistaken ideas) as about this?" said a barber in one of the big down town build ings the other day.

"For instance, there isn't a day passes that sonic young fellow doesn't come in here and give particular directions not fit hit shaved hiirh on the face or under the eyes. lie thinks, you know, that being shaved up there makes the hair grow, and bolster rified by the idea of having whisk ers iust under his eyelids. Near- ly everybody has the same notion It's all nonsense. No amount of shaving will make the hair grow where it isn't growing and leaving it alono won't prevent it growing where it is going to grow. You might shave the tip of your nose every day for a year, but that wouldn't start a hair on it.

If your beard is going to grow close up under your eyes it will grow there if you never touch a razor to your face. "I have known a good many bald men who had an idea that having their heads shaved would start the hair crowinc again. Of course I didn't discourage that idea, but I knew that I might as well shave that iron post there. Many young folio believe that frequent shaving will make their mustaches grow. The fact is that shaving has nothing to do with the growth of the hair, anyway.

If the hair is naturally thin, no shaving will make it thick, and if it is thick, 'leaving it alone won't make it thinner. Then about hair Lots of men come in and give out explicit instructions about how they want their hair cut. The barber follows their directions, and when he gets through they want to get up and murder him because they don't look as they thought they would. Now the barber knows they will look like guys all the time, but what can he do? He has his instructions and must follow them. The proper way to do is to leave the matter to the good taste of the barber.

He knows, if he knows anything, just how a customer's hair will look the best, and he won't make any mistake about it, cither. lie won't cut a young man's hair a la Pompadour when it would make him look like a lunatic at large, nor clip a man whose head has depressions you could put your foot into. But the biggest delusion of all is that there is any money in the business. That young man out there with the bootblack's stand makes twice as much money as many barbers in New York. Something of a Story.

From the Boston Commi-rclnl Uullotin. As an illustration of the "colossal liars" of the west, General Mc-Cook relates the following: He was traveling among the Hocky mountains and, straying one morning from the trail, stood for a moment entranced by the magnificent landscape spread before him, when he was aroused from his meditation by the footsteps of one of the guides who had followed him lest he should lose his way. "Is not this magnificent, Bill?" exclaimed the general, anxious to share his delight. "It's mighty purty, gineral," said the guide, "but I kin show you bigger sights nor this. Why one time Kansas Jim and me had been tramping three days and nights, anO we came to a plain, and right in the midst of it was a forest all turned to solid stun!" The general smiled and remark-cd: "I have heard of petrified trees before, Bill The guide expectorated without changing countenance and continued, "But that waru't all, gineral; a bit of sod, and I'm blamed that warn't petrified in tho air!" The general turned tn amused countenance on the narrator am said: "Why Hill, the sod wouh havo fallen to tho ground by the force of gravity." Without any hesitation Bill an swercd, "Well, gineral, the gravi ty was petrified too.

Bending the perfection of the plans for "opening tho river (IV the Lcland house, Springfield, I left Cairo, and by way of Columbus, went over to inspect Grant's forces. I- found several new correspondents over there, among whom was one Bandolph do Keini.

He first attracted atten tion one day when several of the bohemians were gathered in a do ported house and were trying in various wavs to kill time. All classes of subjects were brought up and discussed, and among oth ers cihakespeare was placed on the tapis. Somebody quvted some thing lrom the bard, and some other correspondent denied the correctness of the rendering. Af ter a irood deal ot talk it was no ticed that Keini was silent. "How is it, Keini?" was asked by some one who observed his lack of participation in tho dis cussion.

"How is what?" "Blank's quotation from the im mortal llham. lie says that it is so-and-so; is that correct? 'I can't tell you. I never read Shakespeare!" "Never read Shakespeare!" and there was a universal laugh of incredulity. "Never read Shakespeare! Why not?" "Because, gentlemen, I am afraid that it would interfere with my style, as a writer!" Mr. Keini is still before the public as a writer.

Whether or not lie lias been benefitted by his refusal to read Shakespeare, or his style has been improved or reverse by his abstinence, I not prepared to say. the am A Fortune In Little Jugs. From the Chicago IIcraM. "There are more ways of making a living in this world than most folks dream of," said a passenger from Ohio. "I know a young man down in our stace who got poor in the newspaper business, and looked around for something else to do.

He had a capital of seventy-five cents, and with this he began the manufacture of jugs. Yes, sir; stone jugs. At first he made them himself on a little machine of his own construction. It was a rude affair, but did the business. A peculiarity about his jugs and this was the life of his scheme was their size.

Some of them were no bigger than a good sized kernel of corn, and from that up to a hickory nut or a walnut. But every jug, even the smallest, was perfectly made, with handle, mouth and hollow, just like any other jug. A market for such things? Of course he found a market. He sells to clothing dealers and other storekeepers, who use them for advertising purposes. Out of these little toy jugs grown a big business.

The young man, wh6 is a Yankee, has at Akron, in our state, a factory in which lift' hands are employed, and he is making 050 gross of jugs a day. He sells them at 00 cents a gross, and is getting rich. Young people in love should not use hot irons for pressing each other's hands. They do say that a girl never looks so pretty to a young man as when she has just refused to be his wife.
