THE BARBER’S TRADE. 
Men Who Followed It and Afterward 
Rose to Fame. 
Perhaps the best known of all 
barbers who have attained fame 
were Arkwright, the improver of 
the spinning jenny, who is said to 
have turned to mechanics when the 
wigmaking trade fell off, and Jere- 
my Taylor, who was brought up in 
his father’s shaving shop at Cam- 
bridge. 
Edward Sugden, afterward made 
Baron Saint Leonards. was the son 
of a hair cutter in a shop in Lin- 
eoln’s inn, London. A story is told 
to the effect that once when Sug- 
den was addressing a crowd in the 
interest of his’ candidacy to parlia- 
ment.a man called out to know 
what soap cost-and how lather was 
made. “I am particularly obliged 
to that gentleman,” Sir Edward is 
reported to have said, “for remind- 
ing me of my lowly origin. It is 
true that I am a barber’s son and 
that I myself was once a barber. If 
_ the gentleman who so politely re- 
minded me of these facts had been 
a barber he would have continued 
to remain one till the end of his 
life,” 
Charles Abbott, Baron Tenter- 
den, was also'a barber’s son, and it 
is related how, when he was made 
a peer of England, he took his own 
son to a little Westminster shop 
and bade him remember it was there 
that his grandfather had been ac- 
customed to shave others for a pen- 
ny. 
William Falconer, the poet, was a 
poor barber in Edinburgh until his 
fee “The Shipwreck” brought 
im renown and incidentally a com- 
mission in the royal navy. 
Craggs, associated with the south 
sea bubble, was a barber turned 
promoter. He became enormously 
wealthy. But when the south sea 
crash came his fortune dwindled, 
and in despair he committed sui- 
cide. 
Giovanni Belzoni of Padua was a 
barber with a varied and interest- 
ing history. Belzoni set up a shop 
in E ngland, but soon found more 
profit in posing at Sadler’s Wells as 
the “Patagonian Samson.” Being 
of thrifty temperament, Belzoni ac- 
cumulated quite a fortune as the 
discoverer of interesting relics in 
the tombs of Egypt and as a travel- 
er.—Chicago Record-Her ald. 
A Professor’s Tact. 
While conducting examinations 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE. 
at an Fnglish uriversity Professor 
D’Arcy Thompson learned that one 
of the students to be examined, a 
young woman who was a candidate 
for a degree, was so timid and 
nervous that it was likely she would 
not do herself justice in the exami- 
nation, and he was asked to make 
allowances for this. Professor 
Thompson asked to be presented to 
her before the hour for examina- 
tions, and after meeting her he sug- 
gested that as they had a few mo- 
ments at their disposal he would be 
pleased to have her show him about 
the museum. She gladly agreed, 
and they spent a delightful half 
hour. But when the dreaded time 
approached the nervousness of the 
young woman became apparent. 
Finally she summoned courage to 
ask when the ordeal would take 
place. The conclusion of the story 
is obvious—Professor Thompson 
told her the dreaded hour was over. 
While they sauntered about the 
museum he had put her through a 
rigid examination. She had an- 
swered his questions brilliantly, and 
she received her degree. 
Heroes That Pass Unhonored. 
The unselfish nurse who devotes 
her days and nights on the battle- 
field or in the hospital to the relief 
of suffering humanity; the poor 
overwcrked mother who sacrifices 
her pleasure and her health for the 
sake of her offspring; the laborer 
who toils and toils for the support 
of his family, in sickness as in 
health and in spite of the difficul- 
ties that beset his uphill path—all 
these and many more are doing 
things perhaps more truly heroic 
than the deeds of some whom the 
world acclaims as its greatest he- 
roes.—Baltimore Sun. 
Repaid. 
Torke—Your daughter’s musical 
education must have cost a lot of 
money? 
De Porke—Yes, it did: but I’ve 
got it all back. 
Torke—Indeed! 
De Porke—Yes. I'd been trying 
to buy the house next door for 
years, and they wouldn’t sell. But 
kince she’s come home they’ve sold 
it to me for half price.—Harper’s 
Weekly. 
Higher Things. 
Grace—Women are not so frivo- 
Jous as you think, Tom. There are 
still some who have thoughts of 
higher things than dress. 
‘Tom—Oh, yes, I know—hats!—
