. THE BROOKLYN HAIR CUT
TING STUDIO.

Where the barber has such high and
cloud piercing notions, is it to be won
dered at that the city itself Is so refined
and so excelsior? The day, dare say,
is not far.distant when the sausage max
ing dtelier will be as common In Brook
lyn as the man with the long divided
skirt frock coat is now.
The red necktie is certainly contend
ing in q spirited manner for the New
York and Brooklyn right OF way with
the frock coat, which has beautiful
sweep OF kilt, reaching considerably De-
low the kuees. Some attribute this i'm
ported English idiocy to one cause and
some to another, but you will find when
YOU come to figure it all out that the
able and brainy tailor wishes not only
to make for you q new style OF frock
coat. but top coat also, for otherwise you
EXPOSE your new and astonishing skirts.
1t is rather pretty custom for those
who have trim hips and natural and
beautiful sweep of t0,unure, but for the
pumpkin seed order OF architecture with
sloping shoulders and broad, intellectual
hips, together with a gait which occu-
MES the entire breadth OF the sidewalk,
the long frock coat simply emphasizes
the eccentricity and adyertises DOUBT
full attraction.
met several days ago bright speci-
men of the college graduate. he is an
old friend Of mine, and living liluStra-
ton of the advantages of collegiate
education. He is very prosperous,
though not in the line Of any profession.
This is, of course, a disappointment 10
his parents, but not to him. de always
hated the professions, but admired other
avenues for obtaining livelihood. he
earned his first money as a child by re-
turning a valuable Maltese cat on which
there was reward of twenty dollars.
Seeing the advantages to be derived
from this branch of trade, he soon re-
turned other valuable cats Tor which
there was reward offered, and soon
after that he added to mis- trade that OF
the valuable dog.
He has been very successful IN the
cattle industry in the far west, he says,
and with nothing to start with but
tired steer, a tireless branding iron and
nobility of purpose. Coupled with his
college training, he has made out by The
natural increase and geometrical pro-
erosion, as we call it in mathematics,
to own a large and very fine herd OF
eight thousand head Of good cattle.
"And do you attribute any measure OF
your success" l asked him the other
day, ito a college education?
"Not to the college education as you
regard it, perhaps, but to the stlmula-
ton which natural genius receives at
college,"
"Ah, and how so, pray? There is
good deal OF discussion going on all the
time over this question of college edu-
cation versus practical education.
Wherein now do you regard a college
training as especially stimulating TO
genius.
"Well, I will admit that / was rot
success from collegiate standpoint. l
was practically blackhalled and sent
home several times to my parents, but
genius did not lie in the direction or the
classics or OF higher mathematics or
rhetoric or the languages, but In the dl-
rection Of inyentiCA and evasion of arbi-
trary rules. For illustration, it was
found after / had been in college two
years that severy examination had In
fact been farce, for l had worked the
printer so that we had advance sheets OF
the exam questions, but at that time all
was discovered.
81 now began to fear that would
never graduate and even my college
friends who had been so deftly assisted
by me began now to desert me. All
