Many east London BARRIERS, who have
been journeymen in many west end es-

termongers and barmen, with the Pc
culiar rolling curl that protrudes from
under the cap or bowler, are far more
particular about their hair than the
sons of the aristocracy in general.
This same curl, standing forth from a
surface of hair that seems to have
been f1atironed, is not achieved with
out much trouble. Scores of these
young dandies of the east subscribe to

ton given to their distinguishing curl

Lions Like Lavender Winter.

The old theory OF animal liking fol
scents denied them any share in such
pleasures unless they suggested the
presence of their food or prey. But
such a reason can hardly be alleged for
a lions liking for lavender water. The
writer, wishing to test for himself the
reported fondness of many animals for
perfumes, paid a series of visits to the
geological garden provided with bottles
Of scent and a packet of cotton wool
and there tried some harmless expert
ments which apparently gave great
satisfaction to many of the inhabitants.
Lavender water was the favorite scent,
and most Of the lions and leopards
showed unqualified pleasure when the
scent was poured on the wool and put
into their cages.-Spectator.
