A Queer Joke.

A resident uf Nevcy. Switzerland.
died some years ago and left a will, in
which he ~bequeathed the whole OF his
property. OF which he was supposed to
possess a large amount, to the local
hospital Of the town." There being
two local medical charities-the town
hospital and the Hospice de Samari-
tan-a suit at law was entered by the
former in order to decide It's right to
the legacy. After a considerable ex-
pense had been incurred the dispute
was abruptly brought to a close by the
discovery that the deceased had in
dulged In a most unreasonable jest
and, in fact, did not possess a penny
to bequeath.

Japanese Hairdressers For Men.

The professional coiffeur for men Is
a much older occupation In Japan than
that for women. There are records as
far back as the thirteenth century Of
male hairdressers for e for the
salnurai especially were very particu-
lar as to how the hair was done up.
though as a profession the samurai
was OF somewhat later growth. 1t
may be said. however. that during the
later Tokugawa days the men appear
to have appreciated in their wives and
daughters the same careful attention
to style of hair as was observable
among their lOrdly selves. 1t is not
without some significance that the first
professional hairdresser for women
was 4 man.
