Scarce a man living but at times drifts Into dreaming and picturing what he might do If he had wealth. Many far too many! aspire to some thing that may contribute to the sen sational headlines. Here and there Is one who merely inclines toward tome modest benefaction. For our own part, suddenly finding ourself rich, we Bhould like to devote much of It to eliminating the "tonsorlal artists" from the field of barberdom; sepa rating the tares from the wheat as It were. The average "tonsorlal artist" af fects the most atrocious neckwear; dons a millionaire's vest with a mill wright's trousers, and puts popular Ideas of garb all at points. He talks glibly of scandal, horse races and hair restorer and eventually drives many a man to whiskers who Is perfectly sane and normal otherwise. There are too many of him! On the other hand the old fashioned "barber" knows his financial, mental and artistic limitations. He seldom feels better acquainted with you the Becond time over than he did the first. He assumes you know what you want better than he does and rarely forces his "extras." Mostly he Is a good tradesman, cleanly and careful In his work. One of his stripe puts greater crimp In the safety razor business than all the "artists" combined. Bless him, there Is not enough of him! Buffalo News. Deserved Reward Came Late. Writing of the celebration of the one. hundredth birthday of Ambrolse Thomas, which took place a short time ago, Karl Delbitz says that the career of the great French composer furnishes another Instance of achieve ment late In life. He was only seven teen years old when he had mastered the piano and the violin and was sent by his father, also a musician, from his home, In Metz, to the Paris Con servatory, where he won many prizes for his extraordinary work. "But he was fifty-five years old before his Mignon' was performed and at once placed him In the same class with the great performers," adds Delbitz. "When It had been performed in Paris 1,000 times the president of the re public. invested Thomas with the grand cordon of the Legion of Honor. He lived to be eighty-five years old and enjoyed three decades of recognition." Special Privilege.' Rev. Lyman Powell of Northampton has a bright little son who is very much frightened in thunderstorms, says the Cosmopolitan. One day a heavy shower came up when the lit tle fellow had wandered away from the house. His father, who was watch ing for him, saw him come running toward home as the first drops felL He looked terrified and his lips were moving. "What were you saying?" asked his father. "I was reminding God that I am a minister's son," the boy replied. A Mint. Of the many curious customs which mark Brittany as an especially inter esting -field for the traveler Is this one relating ,to marriage. At the close of the wedding ceremony the bride groom gives the bride a box on the ear, saying: "This is how it feels when you make me vexed," after which he kisses her, adding, "and thus when you treat me ..y2i'Tm Flight of Seeds. It is popularly believed that winged seeds from trees travel to great dis tances on the wind, but the investi gations of a British scientist who has spent much time at Singapore, indi cate that winged seeds have a far narrower range of flight than have powder" seeds and plumed seeds. The greatest distance . travelled by the winged seeds of a forest tree observed oy th'c authority was 100 yards. Under the most favorable circumstances, he calculates it would take this plant just 100 years to spread 500 yards anr' 1,500,000 years to spread from the Malay Peninsula to the Philip pines If a land connection existed. Sclen'iflc American. Adroit. There was a man who used to tell a fine story about a cannon. But, like all story-tellers who play fair, he be lieved in waiting for something to turn up, in the conversation which should give him a chance to spring his yarn. Unfortunately, most of the conver sations in which he became involved were perversely cruel to him. Noth ing was said in them for several suc cessive weeks. And this is what he used to do, in his desperation, to get around the difficulty: "Boom Boom ! Boom ! ! ! roared the cannon at Gettysburg. And, by the way, speaking of cannon " . Whereupon out came the story. Peruvian Petroleum. iifrorts are being made to develop ore extensively the petroleum re jiirces of Peru.
