A Tonsorlal CftlTenltyi .»• Philadelphia has a nqw'collegiate in Btiiution. It is known as "Hie Philadel­ phia Barber College.-" The facility con­ sists of two professors, the founder, L. H. Bailey, and his wife, who ocfinpy a email railed off space near the door. The •tudeuts, of whom there are ten, occupy the center of the big room. -- ' Tl|e subjects, as a rule,- are queer look­ ing "objects. " They are gentlemen of the road. The barber college is a god- eend to them, for it saves beer money. Every morning one of the students goes out with a handful of small cards upon which is printed: "Free haircut and shave! From-8-to 6 o'clock every day. White men only. Come and bring yomr friends. No. 832 Cherry street Abso­ lutely free." These he distributes at the various cheap lodging and eating houses In the vicinity. The gentl^&en who receive the cards are not slow to accept J the invitation. "Some of them are proud to do so, for, as one of them said while he was waiting for a shave:4' 'Tain't everybody wat kin git his face scraped by a college student and besides have a purty woman a-look- in on fer to see dat de job's done right. See?". . >•' Mrs. Bailey is the instructor. She is a bright little woman, with a missktfy' "'I think, from .my personal observa­ tions,'" said she, "that the barber busi­ ness in Philadelphia needs elevating, and my husband and I are doing our best toward that end." The ' 'worse1' lasts eight weeks,-- Sew York Commercial Advertiser. The I^iou Preferred^Tiffbts. That lions prefer tights to skirts is ap­ parent from the tenor of an.interesting interview with Carl Hagenbeck in the London Daily Graphic, for Mr. Hagen­ beck declares that during a period of 43 years he has only had one accident in his business. It was caused by one of his female performers entering the lion's den with a new dress on. The lion had always seen her with tights, and not under­ standing what the dress was bit it to satisfy his curiosity.1 - Unfortunately he included jn the mouthful a portion of the wearer, inflicting severe injuries upon his fair trainer.--New York Trib- una ^[CWOOD, l^1 " Now is the time to dress up yonr feet to keep off the fall and frosts, There is no house as well equipped to do this i are, with the Selz make, which needs no introduction here.
