Some merchant in Paris hit upon the
novel scheme of advertising hair tonic
by painting the name of the tonic on
the heads of bald-headed men and hav-
ing them walk through the street bare
headed. But Paris has a law that all
advertisements in public places must
have a revenue stamp, and the men
kicked against having the stamps
pasted on their heads, so the plan has
failed.

JOHN HARVARD.
A window In mn English Church In
His Memory Proposed.


The American residents in London
who propose to honor the memory Of
John Harvard. founder Of the famous
Massa chusetts college. by window in
st. Saviour's church, Southwark, need
not be afraid that in this instance
some meddllng antiqary will here
after dispute the birthplace of their
worthy. The evidence MS to IInrvards
connection with Southwark Will stand
the minutest investigation. Thus the
entry Of his baptism still exists In the
church register. with the date Nov 20.
1907, and In all probability he wss
born ip au old row Of shops opposite
Bears Head court, which was not de
molished until 1920, when clearances
were made for the approach to Lon
don bridge. Thanks to the interesting
researches Of Mr.. Rendle, the recreator
Of bygone Southwark. we are able to
follow Harvard through career less
out Of the common in the seventeenth
century than It would be perhaps in
the present.

the borough az a prosperous middle
