Over Tiro Hundred Days of a Man'i IJlfa
Spent In a Barber Shop.
People as a ralo admire a man
who possesses a face that shows the
bright look of cleanliness and youth-
fulness that is the result of a good,
clean shave. No matter of how good
a quality a mail's clothing may be
or how lato the style in which they
are maclo, ho does not possess that
look of refinement that naturally
belongs to a man if his face is mar-
red with a stubby beard. There is
nothing that will bring about this
refine;! cffcct so well as a shave. Yet
how many people who admijre this
bringing out of the features in suoli
a clear cut and pleasant manner
really know how muoh time and
trouble is taken up in acquiring the
youthfulness of countenance that
they so muoh admire.
Few people have anything near
the corruct idea of tho time lost by
the ordinary man in barber shops.
The businoas man who looks so nat-
ty in the correot and well fitting
clothes, with his smooth, olean faoe,
gets shavod on an average of about
four times a week. When he goes
to the barber'h the first time, be may
be luoky enough to strike a time
when there is no customer ahead of
him, and as a result he is shaved
and back to business again in almost
half an hour. The next time be goes
he is not so fortunate, and about 35
minutes are oonsumed. The third
time may take even longer, and the
fourth time in the week, whioh is
usually on Saturday, I10 may find
quite a number ahead of him, and
very often bo is compelled to wait
fully an bonr before he is shaved.
In this way the businessman spends
on an average % hours each week
in a barber shop.
It does not seem long for a week,
but when you calculate the time
spent in this way in a lifetime it is
enormous. At the above rate, which
is very low, the business man, com-
puting that he starts shaving when
he is 20 years of age and lives to be
60, continuing shaving during the
interim, will have spent nearly 217
days in a barber shop. If be gets
shaved but three times a week, as
many of them do, ho will during the
same length of time as in the above
mentioned instanoehave spent near-
ly 130 days in a barber shop.
The abovo is only for the time lost
and does not inolude the expense at-
tached to the operation. In the bar-
ber shops patronized by basinets
iqen of am standing whatever tfad
prioeof a shave fa never less than
15 oents. Usually, too, there is a tip J
of at loast a dime for the barber and
a nicfeel for the boy who brushes
your hat and clothea This runs the
cost of your shaving up pretty high,
especially when you take into con-
sideration the faot that during an
ordinary lifetime a man who gets
shaved four times a week makes
over 8,000 visits to the barber shop.
As the cost of these visits is usually
25 or 30 oents eaoh, it oan readily be
seen that tho expense attaob'ed to
the operation during a man's life-
time is no inoonsiderate or trifling
amount.
In the shops patronize
working olasses the price
so high, the expense of thj
classes in this line amount
average to about $1 per

How to Test a Watermelon.
To test a watermelon draw your
thumb nail over the melon, scraping
off tho thin green skin. If the edges
of the skin on each side of the scar
are loft ragged or granulated, and
the rind under tho soar is smooth,
firm and white and has something
of a glassy appearance, the melon is
ripe. But if the edges of the soar
aro smooth and even, and the thumb
nail has dug into the rind in places,
and the skin does not come off clean,
then the melon is green. This is
fche test used by the Southern farm-
ers.
