Glenn Barber ShODs.

There is not the slightest doubt that
the average barber shop is II means of
disseminating many affections which 4
little attention to asepsis could easily
prevent. Many forms of alopecia are
due to parasitic organisms which are
probably acquired most frequently
through the unclean iEtorventionS of
the barber. Some ready method of dis
injecting his tools of trade should be
devised and its use thoroughly en~
forced. The towels should invariably
be boiled after use, instead of the per-
functory dampening and ironing which
is commonly employed. If such meas
urcs were taken and insisted on, under
suitable penalty, trichophytosis and
kindred ailments would become rare
indeed and our dernatologists would
miss many of the most annoying and
persistent affections which they are
now compelled to treat.-Internationa

4 Strange Marriage Custom.

II was an old idea that n husband,
whose wife at her marriage was cloth
ed only in n sheet. or in the most eie-
mentary linen garment, was not in any
way liable for the debts previously
contracted by her. Our parish regis
tors and local traditions give us ample
illustrations of this quaint idea. At
Chiltern All Saints, Wiltshire, is the
following entry: John Bridmore and
Anne Selwood were married October
18th, 1G14, the aforesaid Anne Selwood
was married in her smock, without any
clothes or headgier on" Similar cases
occurred at Gorton Green in 1T3S, at
Ashton under-Lyne in HI, and at OF
ley in 1S0S.
The latest example of which the
present writer knows comes from Lin
coInshire. The register of Gedney has
this commonplace entry: Dec. 2nd,
1912, David Wilkinson, full age, bache-
lor. laborour, of Gedney," to Susan
Farran, full age, widow, of Gedney."
Local tradition supplements this brief
account by relating that the bride was
dressed i'll n sheet. stitched about her,
with holes cut for the passage of her
bare arms.-"Lore and Legend of the

4 Pathetic Portrait.

There is a peculiar portrait in Wash
ington which has created much inter-
est among those who know of its eX-
istence. Its popularity is that every
year it has been changed TO show tho
changes which time would have made
in the original. The portrait is by q
Washington artist and is that of his
wife and was painted many years ago
when she was n young bride y few
years after the portrait was painted
the young wife died, and SO great was
the grief of the artist that he deter
mined TO keep her likeness with him
all the time, and TO do so he decided
that year by year he would change the
portrait so as to make it grow old with
him.
Every year, on the anniversary Of
his wedding day, the artist locked him
self in his studio and changed the lines
of the face of the portrait, adding what
he thought would make the difference
of one year. There have been many
anniversaries of that marriage day
and consequently many changes in the
portrait. Today the picture is that of
an old woman. the hair turned gray,
the face wrinkled and pale, but still
beneath the marks of time, as made
by the brush of the artist, can be seen
the early beauty of the bride and the
attractiveness of the young woman.-

His wedding Fee.

nuptial knot being tied, the smiling
groom approached me and placed =

to be present at the hearing. The pros

called her an "old virago" and that she
had added, Il don't know what that
means. but whatever it is that's what

it had no good meaning or the other

There is no reason why any
