SCHOOL OF SELF-DEFENCE AND ALSO FOR ti'KTECTIVES, JUGGLERS AMD OTHERS. Ifvot. Tomlinson Instructa â-  Sis Fupils in all Sorts of House- wifely Duties.' AH good citizens will rejoice to ^Icftrn that ii iii-w ami elTicaciouM method of abolishing those |>arts of the streets, known us HooliganK, has been (iiKcgvored and j)ut into prac- licul application by a I'Vonch gen- lloniau nuiiicd Jl. I'iurro Vigny. Some years ago the idea occurred to M. Vigny, who. it may be nien- tloned, has l)een fencing nin.ster to A French crack cavalry -rcKiuicrrt. that it would be i)ossil)lo to discov- er a Kystem by which pc'ople could guard themselves against the cow- ardly methods of assault j)ractiKed by the bloclcguards of the streets. M. Vigny accordingly purchased a stout wolltirifi-stick, and, armed with it, proceedbid to study tlie methods of Ifoiiligans in the slums of London ftnd l.i-'erpool. When he acrpiircd first-hand know- ledge of their ways, he repairod to Paris, where he sought wisdom from the Thugs and ;\i)acheH, ruflians who assualt pede.strians with sand-bags and lil'e-pre.server.s, and then, for the purpose of (inishiivg his education, he spent some sonsiderablc time amongst the ruffians of Home and Naples, who are proficient in the use of the murderous stiletto, and comi)letcd his curriculum in the riowery of Kow York and the slums of Chicago. He thufi became conversant with ovciy device of the street ruffian, and, wliat is of more importance, he disco veiod how to protect hinl-scli cfTectiveiy. from eveiy weapon, with the exception of firearms, they use, including loaded hells, sund-bags, bludgeons, knivtts, and daggers, with 'he instrumentality of a HUMBLE AVALKING-STIOK ! For the )nirpose of imparting this art he has estaljlished a •'.School of Self-])i-fencc" in a street near Ox- ford Street, London, which is large- ly patronLwd by young nris'tocruts, city men, aclois, and others, who.se J)ursuils necessitate! tlicir being out late. Ladies also receive instruction at this unique school in large num- bers, and M. Vigny niaintains that anyone who has mastereil the sys- tem of self-defence with a wulking- litick or undjrellu, which he has in- augural ed, is a match for at leusl, half a dozen street rulfians armed with lielts or knives-. The newly-wedded men who dis- cover that the pastry maile by their ^hotter halves i.s more suljslanlial '"than digestible, and that their col- lars and ciifls luck liistie will bo de- lighted to hear that a ".School for Wives" exists at CheUe.i, whicli is presided over liy I'l-oiessor Tomlin- lion, who iiiiili-uctf! his pupils in all (iorts of housev. ifel.v dutie.";, from dear starching to the higher flights of dome.stic economy. Large num- bers of murri(!d and single ladies at- tend this t.chool for Ihi; puipose of hccoming pr.>licient in variou.T dom- fstic arts, and lectures followed by practical demonstrations are given pn every imaginable subject conncct- fd with the household.

UTKSSIAN' rOMCEMEN i\i-o taught everything that is lively to be uKel'ul to thi^m in the course of their duties at an academj- at St. I'etersburg. 'I'ln^ students are taught the gentle arts of burgling and pock- et ;)ickiiig, and tliey are nnide pro- llcienl in the nielbods of all sorts of criniinnls, as the authorities hold that they can onl.v become ellicient policemen througli nuistering the devices of thieves. The more ad- vanced pu|>lls are instructed in shad- owing suspected persons, and inuig- Inary crimes are committed, and prizes given to those who solve Ihem by deduction. One <)f the most inlerestinp; schoeds In London to visit is that for r.cro- huts and "strong" men at Kenning- tbn. Thi'i'e you will see pupils in- Btrucled in the art of throwing dou- hle sonuM-saults and weii.thl lilting, .luggling is also endiiaced in the ruiriruluni, and the Inillal efforl.'t of would-lie-jugglers to perform tricks with eggs and plates are both inler- fHting and amusing. ViM-y few are iiware that several schools for barbers and three finish- ing ncndeinieR for hnlrdressi'rs exist in London. At the hairdressers' dcndeinies tourses of instructions are (llvou by competent professors in the inricale art of the coilfure, and ela- borate styles of liea(hlrcs.seK are con- It met ed on models selected for their profession from histiuiciil pictures pnd engravings. The West Knd llnirdressers' Academy, it may be ptentioned, has sonic six hundred K-holars, and twelve models are con- llnntl.v employed. Despite the vigilance of the pollen quite a number of schools for the IrnHiiing of young criminals exist, • nforlunately, in England.
