sive play by the Irish until three minutes before the
game ended when suddenly Sinclair again scored
for his team but at the close the score was three 10

HAIRDREssING N JAFAN.-The Japanese
do not use a pillow in our sense of the
word. They have small piece of wood
something like a dog in shape, on which
they lay their heads, the girls and women
serene in the consciousness that their hair
will not be disarranged. The wonderful
structure of a Japanese head-dress is
usually made up once in four days. 1t is
ident that if it were touzled on a down
pillow it would have to be dealt with
every day. Children, in some cases, have
the head closely shaved, but more often
the hair is Enthusiastically cultivated. a
favorite style is to shave the head all round
the crown, leaving that covered with hair
shaped like a skull-cap. Sometimes all is
shaved save few locks over the forehead.
Another rather fetching design is to leave
a couple of well-defined locks over either
ear, just enough to hold the child up by if
that were deemed desirable disciplinary
process. -[Cor, London Daily News.
