Tip for Barbers.

John Barrymore, the comedian, was once seated in a New York barber shop, when the barber, who was noted for his selling propensity, said: “I see that your hair is getting pretty thin. Can't I sell you some of our new hair tonic?” "Oh, no!" answered Mr. Barrymore, “if I wanted my hair to grow I would use a steel.” ’ "A steel! How can steel make hair grow?' asked the astonished barber. "Well, it’s like this,” answered Mr. Barrymorq. “Have you a watch?” “Yes,” replied the barber. “Well, thefi,” answered Mr. Barrymore, "doesn’t steel make the hair spring?”—Boston Globe.
