In the recent national convention Of
BARRIERS at Buffalo, the question OF sub
stituting some other sign for the red
and white striped barber pole was
discussed, and IL has been engaging
the attention OF gentlemen of the tom
serial profession ever since. IL Is
said that In early times BARRIERS served
the public In the capacity of surgeons
also, and that the pole symbolized an
arm wound with ribbon previous TO
the letting Of blood. II was George
III. Of England, who decreed that
henceforth the trade OF the barber
should be foreign TO and independent
OF the practice OF surgery" Despite
the fact that the striped pole is the
symbol OF blood-lettiDg, IL seems 10 be

An Extraordinary Suicide.

The suicide in the Rue La Guerre
bears the marks of a genius. In
room whose windows were all closed
a headless body was foond upon
rude guillotine. A note held in one
hand Of the dead man said it was use
less 10 attempt to discover his identity,
for he had made arrangements which
would prevent the head from ever
being found. Sure enough the body
lay headless in a closed room and the
head could nowhere be found. The
man was burie d as one unknown, and
the case bade fair to lie dusty in the pig
con holes Of the curator Of mysteries.
A few days after this event peasant
in department distant some POO miles
away was attracted by peculiar OBJ
ect in the branches of a tree. lmpel-
ed by curiosity he examined more
closely and found human head at
tached by cord to small silken bal-
loon. He reported the affair to the
nearest sergeant of gendarmerie, and
mystery number two was given due
prominence. BY combination of the
mysteries it became clear how the sui
eide disposed of the head, which,
being restored, served to identify him.
But how the balloon with the head at
tacned escaped from closed room
