The Chief End of Brains.

A member of congress, a new man and therefore not widely known In Washington, found himself one day in the hands of a barber of the proverbial talkative sort who was employed in a Washington hostelry, says the Youth’s Companion. “You have a large head, sir,” observed the barber, as he was trimming the locks of the statesman. “It is a good thing to have a large head, for a large head means a large stain, and a large brain is the most useful thing a man can have, for it nourishes the roots of the hair.”
