The Jersey City barber who
shaved eighteen men in eight min
utes and seven seconds has demon
strated that he knows little Of the
qualifications requisite for the con .
ducting of a first class tonsorial par
lor. His ability to shave two men
and fraction every minute shows
remarkable technique and skill of a
certain kind. So far rs the dis
patches state, the eighteen men may
have been shaved as we'll as though
this lightning artist had taken fif-
teen minutes to scrape the face OF
each customer But this is unim
portant
Aside from getting shaved, which
is purely incidental, men 60 to bar
Der shops for two ESSENTIAL purposes.
One of these is to read through and
commit to memory the jokes in the
copy Of the last years's comic paper
which ls invariably found in every
we'll regulated barber chop. That the
customer may have plenty of time
for this detachable occupation the
barber should move with the utmost
del'beration. The other and by far
the most important object he has
IN VIC" in visiting a barber shop is
TO acquire information upon such
Tanous and varied snbjects rs the
erndlts savant OF the razor may all

Whist wonld hec0me /sf these two
requisites in is.~sr hands of barber
|, wh"n shaved eighteen men in eight
minutes and seven seconds? The
customer would hardly have time to
reach for the tsttered copy of the
priced periodical before he would be
next and the barber would be
hustling him into the chair. Then
there would come a few swishino
sounds, and in an instant more he
would find himself paying the
charges and tipping the boy Will
tbs whisk broom without having re-
oeived a scintllla Of enlightenment,
on the great questions which agitate
the country. From the supposed,
unfailing reservoir of knowledge he
has received no words of wisdom
The main purpose Of his visit ha.
been frustrated. How can the Gus
toner feel other than that he ha.
been cheated-that he has not go

the jersey City shaver is not "wis,
to his job" He might do we'll II
vaudeville, but he does not possess
tho essential qualities OF a barber.

Knowing When to stop.

Knowing when to stop and stopping are
very different things. A man in a runaa-
way motor car knows very clearly that it
is time to stop, but that doesn't stop him.
MANY a man or woman has carelessly or
wilfully gotten into a bad habit, saying:
ooh! l am one who knows when to
stop" That is probably true. The day
will come when they will know very clear
" that it is time to stop, but will not be
able to do so. 1t is like taking hold OF the
handles of a strong electrical generator
