No Great Competition
for These Odd Jobs

Although at the present time almost
every profession is overcrowded, there
are still a few that have only one
follower
For instance, out of the seven and
half million people in London there
is only one moss gatherer. Twice a
week this man pushes a barrow to
spot several miles out of the city,
where he gathers his moss, and later
sells it for decorative purposes.
At the last census taken in England
man stated that he was a walrus
mustache collector. The hairs are
used for the purpose of making tooth
picks, and as far as is known he is
the only person who follows that pro-
feSSiOn.
There is only one lady veterinary
surgeon in England A British firm
employs a man whose job is simply
to strike matches in order to test
them.
Still another of these unusual jobs
is that of toad breeder. There is one
man who does this, and he sells his
toads to gardeners for the purpose of
destroying insect pests.
There is no overcrowding in these
jobs!
