A Wise Provision.

New York Weekly. Mr. Baldie —I have discovered that baldness is a wise provision of nature. Philosopher—That’s a discovery, surely. “Yes. You have noticed, doubtless, that I am bald as a billiard ball as far down as the rim of my hat,but below that the hair grows as luxuriantly as ever.” “Yes, that is usually the case.” “Exactly. Now comes my discovery. Barber shops are often draughty, you know.” “Very frequently.” “Too true. Sure to give folks influenza, pneumonia, and I don’t know what al'." “Draughts are always dangerous.” “That’s it. Well, a bald-headed man can have his hair cut without removing bis hat.”
