He HAD HIS HAIR CUT.

And It Took . Long, Long Time 70
Find Out by Whom.
One of the most elaborate and sus-
tanned practical jokes on record was
that played on j. NJ. Langford-com-
monty known as "Joe"-some fifty
years ago. According to the version
given in the Life of Sir William Rus

club in London when Albert Smith
accosted him: Hello. Joe! Who has
cut your hair?' Joe was in digni-
fed mood and resented the query. II
really don't see." he replied. how it
can interest you who cut my hair"
Smith went downstairs and stood in
the hall. The next member who came
up to the morning room sauntered up
to Langford with: II see you've been
having your hair cut. Who did it?"
Joe very sternly replied. II can't i'm
agine why you ask me-" Then he Or
dered a glass of sherry and bitters.
The waiter brought it and gave a little
start Of surprise as he presented it
with BEG pardon. sir! It's along Of
your air. sir; it looks unusual" Joe
went to the glass and saw nothing re-
markable. but as he was considering
his face Charles burst upon him with.
"Where on earth did you get your
hair cut, my dear Joe?'
Joe could stand it no longer. He
went or to his chambers in Ray
mond's buildings. Gray's inn. Next
day he saw an advertisement in the
Times: u. NJ. L-Say. who cut1t? Was
it your own hand or the deed of an
other? Confess ere it be too late
1t was only the first of a series Of sim
liar announcements. and the ingenuity
Of his tormentors devised continual
surprises for him. On the day he
went down to Chertsey races he saw
the walls placarded with enormous
posters. yellow and black: j. NJ. L.
Once more, who cut it? You must
speak, A band of Ethiopian min
strels was furnished with a melody to
sing outside Raymond's buildings to
the air Of What Are the Wild Waves
Saying" then very popular. And the
refrain was:
What are de wild waves saying as dey lap
de Waterloo stair?
What are dem Wild waves saying? Dey
say, Who cut Joes hair?
In despair. Langford went abroad
and when. at Chamonix. he climbed to
the Cascade des Pelerins he found
plastered in front Of him a huge vel
low poster bearing the words: u. Nj.
L.-Confess, reveal or be forever
lost! Who cut it?' Joe's spirit was
broken. He sat down and wrote

SILK EXHIBITION
First of Its Kind Being Held
in London.
National News Association)

LONDON, June 5.-The first public
exhibition ever held in connection
with the silk industries of the United
Kingdom was opened today at the
Princes Skating Rink. The exhibition
is held under the auspices of the
British Silk association, which was
founded twenty-five years abo by a
body of representative women, includ-
ing several members of the royal fam
lily, who were DESTROYS of encouraging
and stimulating the silk industry as
much as lay within their power.
Few British manufactures have pros
pered more than the making of silk.
although the industry does not occu-
by the important place that it did
years ago. Silk was manufactured in
England in the reign of James l., who
took great interest in the welfare OF
the industry, but it was not until 1855,
when the revocation of the edict of
Nantes sent stream of persecutoA
Huguenots into England, that the
trade reached the zenith of it's pros
refugees were many skilled weavers,
and they established themselves in
Spitalfields, where they set up looms
in their own homes. For century and
a half this colony was the center of
the silk trade in England, after which
period the industry gradually declined
until it can no longer be looked upon
as a national asset. OF late years the
output has been limited, though the
higher grades OF British silks are still
looked upon as the best in the world.

Gladstons's Signs.

Gladstone was the inventor Of the
abbreviation for million which Is much
used in England. Since IN" was al
ready reserved for a thousand he made
a million sign out of ii by curling the
tail of the IN" over the body OF the
letter and once declared that posterity
might be more grateful to him for this
than for his political work. he was
much addicted to labor saving devices
and was proud Of his system Of record
ing responses to invitations. When an
invitation was sent the name was
marked in his list with a minus sign.
In case of acceptance another stroke
made it plus sign. while refusal was
marked with sign of equality. A
circle about plus sign showed that an
acceptance had been recalled
