Lord Salisbury is very fond of relating the tale of the small barber of Portsmouth. Some years ago Lord Salisbury had occasion to enter into a barber's shop in a suburb of the Naval City. The self-styled tonsorial artist had evidently recognised his distinguished customer, for when his Lordship passed the shop some two or three days after the event ho was not a little surprised and amused to find a placard in the window bearing the following notice : " Hair cut 3d. With the same scissors as I cut Lord Salisbury's hair, 6d." A deaf-and-dumb married couple living in New Jersey died recently, at the same time, and while in different places; the man was run over by a train, and the woman suddenly expired while visiting friends.
