 Did you ever notice, said veteran tonsorial artist. who had shaved New Hayeners since 1873, to New Haven Register man, "that you only see Q few old barbers?"
 "Why is itF'
 There are a good many reasons, |" answered the veteran knight of the blade. l suppose the chief one is that 0 barber's hand becomes unsteady after he gets to be about 10 years old and he has to give up. A good many barbers drink hard, and that makes their nerves and hands unfit for service, and they retire before they cut their customers threats Still, will say that in all my experience of 97 years l never saw a man badly cut by barber, not even by an accident for which the barber was not responsible y
 What becomes of the barbers after they retire?"
 "Oh, some of them go to the poor. house, he replied, with Q twinkle ill his eye, land some of them, who have saved their wages, buy little places and live on thon1, perhaps running Q farm.
