GUTTING HIS OWN HAIR.

Mr. Walter Reynolds, of the London County Council, declares that any man can learn to' cut his own hair. Ever since lio paid a visit to Paris in 18Sf> and a French barber took the liberty of giving- him, r a'.i -unsolicited French crop, he has performed on himself. ' He declares that when he went back to his hotel with lite head all but shaven his wife had such a fright that nothing will ever persuade him to submit to a •barber, again. It is so easy, he affirms, after shaving oneself to just trim the hair. He uses a triple looking-glass which permits of a view by gazing in «n opposito lr.irror of the back of his own horn! at all angles.

All that is required besides is a pair of long scissors aud'a long comb with short teeth Ojie"\speedily learns, no says, to brinj? the ends of the hair evenly in line before cutting, and thus tho hair lies 'smoothly afterwards withrut "ladders." Ho declares, too, that personal attention, to one's own hair lr.nkes it Jast longer. Mr. Reynolds's attitude to barbers excites the more attention that at the t^oment tonsorial artists are cretlitetl .with tho intention of adopting the American custom of charging double r>iieo for cutting the hair of such men:is shave themselves.
