Tue BARRIERS PoLE.-Every part Of
the BARRIERS pole formerly had especial
Significance. The gilt knob at the top was
once brass basin, with a notch in the
side used to fit under the chin to facilitate
the lathering aud washing of the custom
ers. The BARRIERS were formerly surgeons;
at least, all the venesection was performed
by them. The pole represents the staff
held by persons who were bled in the arm;
and the two spiral ribbons painted around
it were originally actual bandages--onc for
cording or binding the arm TO cause the
flow Of blood, and the other for dressing
the puncture afterward. The whole was
significant of the BARRIERS twin oecupa-
shaving and bloodlctting.

Somebody has been at the trouble of
calculating the average number of hairs
which grow on an average persons head
It is found that the number varies accord
ing u the color of the hair. Light or
blonde hair is the most luxuriant, the aver
age Of this color being 100000 When
the hair is brown the usual number is
much less, being only 10000, while black
hairs reach only the average amount of
100000 1t might naturally be supposed
that light-haired person having the most
bair would have the greatest weight to
carry, but it is not so. That which is
lightest in color is also lightest in weight;
and lady with abundant faxen locks is
as light-headed as one whose tresses are of
a raven hue. Hence it follows that the
former is Of finer texture than the latter.

POPULATION AND AGE OF THE WORLD.
According 10 the calculations of Prof.
Caralis de Foudencc, the present popula-
ton Of the world is 100000, 600. Al
lowing for increase in population at an an
nual rate of 1892, it is shown that the
present population would be reached in
5,S63 years. This is putting the increase
at low rate. In France, it is | ,227 an
nually. Calculated on the later basis, the
present numbers would be reached in A.
207 years from Noah, allowing that he
left the ark with three sons and three
daughters. Thus another proof is added
to the chronological accuracy of the Scrip
tural record, and the foundation laid for a
successful argument against one Of the
many infdel theories respecting the an
tiquity Of the human race.
