4 man was yesterday charged at the
Marlborough police court with assaulting
a hairdresser. The prosecutor stated in
his evidence that the prisoner. whom he
designated as a violent vagabond, came
into his shop, accompanied by two 9th er
men, on a begging mission, and before
committing the alleged assault observed
Il am barber as well as yourself" where
upon the prosecutor, feeling indignant
replied: Il don't call myself a barber,
but hairdresser." This raised an in
teresting question. Why should hair
dresser take umbrage at being called a
barber? In former times the barber
stood if possible, even higher in the so
cial scale than the hairdresser of the pres
ent day. BARRIERS. are of great antiquity
and are even mentioned by the prophet
Ezekiel. They acted. moreover, as sur
gcOms, and occupied position which has
never yet been attained by the hairdress-
