QUEER HEADS TO CLIP.
Man Who Says next" Relates Some
Of His Experiences.

Senators Who Tip" Liberally-Heads
of All Shapes and Sizes Coma Under
the Eyes of the Tonsorial Sharp,
Who Deity Conoeals Their Defects.
A Great Variety Found in Washing
ton From All Parts of the World.
From the Washington Post.
"Some strange heads bob up in the bar
ber's chair in Washington" said an up
town craftsman of the red and white pole
the other day as he laid Post man out
for shave. Il believe there is no city
in the world where we run across so many
shapes and dispositions. Boston with
cranial bumps developed by two hun
bred years of devotion to baked beans and
learning, or Chicago, where men some
times grow hair as stiff as swine's bris-
ties, isn't circumstance in comparison. -
AS the knight of the razor spread the
large white apron over the customer and
began to apply the lather he told some
thing about the queer heads that come
beneath his scissors. One of The most
noticeable peculiarities is the tendency in
some mon for one side of the head to grow
larger than the other.
Il cannot tell why this is" the barber
said, "but unequally balanced craniums
of the kind l speak about, are more fire.
Quent here than in any other city in the
United States where / have tramped
about, and they are good many. Per-
haps it's for the same reason that the
right foot grows larger than the left one
sometimes, or that man can hear better
with his telephone ear simply because he
-,
think more with one side OF their brains
than the other"
Some curious instances are cited of this
popularity. A well-known senator has a
deep furrow down the back part of one
side of his head OF course no one knows
what made it and no one sees il but his
barber. who is experienced enough to
conceal the defect through the art of
phpsiognomical hair cutting. Where
some men have bumps few have depres-
sions, and there is one learned gentleman
ID the city, well known to the illuminate
who has diminutive crater on the sum
NIT Of his crown, as though the fires of
his brain had sometimes belched forth in
volcanic action and subsidized.
AN OPEN FIELD FOR PSYCHOLOGISTS.
Washington is characteristic barber
town in many respects, and an aspirant
for chronological honors could hardly do
better than to serve an apprenticeship in
one of the tirsT class shops. Lawyers,
cranks, legislators and every class of cit
liens come here continually, and, in addi-
ton to this motley multitude, there are
the diplomats and representatives of
every climate. With so many different
people all the styles from the courts Of
Europe TO the hayseed farmer Of the prai-
ries are turning up continually Very
few visitors TO Washington take their
razors with them, and the fussy rural
people, to whom the BARRIERS chair is a
novelty INDUCED in once or twice year,
make q world Of trouble.
The men with the low forehead and
the high crown are the ones we fear
most said the man with the cleaning
razor, aud he described the shape Of head
possessed by the most beautiful Of the
Grecian women Of old, of whom the poets
used 10 sing zone Of these men is mighty
sure TO have fuss OF some sort over his
work aud there are very few Of them
whom we find easy TO please. They see
q hair cut on another man that pleases
them. 1t may be the possessor Of q hir-
