History and Mystery of the Comb.
From The 81. Louis RepuLIic

From the st. Louis Republic.
Ii would be curious to know what mystic
meaning our forefathers attached to the
simple act OF combing the hair. We learn
from old church history that the hair of
the priest or bishop was combed several
times during services by one Of tie infer ior
clergy. The comb is mentioned as one of
the essentials for use during a high mass
when sung by bishop; mass combs of
precious metals are reckoned among the
costly possessions of most European cathe-
drals. Besides those made Of gold and sill
yer, the poorer churches have them of
ivory, while in some the more common kinds
are used. Among those especially known
to history are those Of st. Neot, st. Dunstan
and Malachias. That belonging to St.
Thomas. the martyr of Canterbury, is still
kept in the church of st. Sepuicher. at
Thetford; that of st. Cuthbert. "the wo-
man hater, at Durham Cathedral. From
sundry references in old legends to the use Of
the comb in divinations, and from its ap-
pearance in combination with pagan en-
blems on rudely sculptured stones in various
parts Of Scotland, it seems probable that
this was one Of the objects of pagan venera
ton which early christian teachers deemed
prudent to adopt, investing 1t with some
new significance

WHAT MAKES a MAN POPULAR
Come Advice Which the Metropolis
Gives Its Readers.

1ANCo avs Aboa4DI5
From the Jacksonville (Fqa) Metropolis.
Somebody said not long ago that GER
tain man was sure 10 succeed in something
because he was SO popular. 1t started the
question as to what constituted a popular
man. Close study has taught this much:
popular man is one who is always ready
to take drink but doesn't get drunk.
A popular man Is one whose clothes are
always in good style and look well, but are
not extensively fashionable or aggressively
new.
A popular man is the one who shakes
hands with the barkseper, who inquiries
after the family of the waiter, who buys an
apple from the woman on the corner and
pays her cents more than she charges
for it.
popular man Is the man that doesn't
forget that you have got pretty wife. and
when be is talking about women and speak
ing about somebody who is good looking.
says: But she doesn't compare WITH your
wife, John"
A popular man is a man who will listen
to tale OF woe from woman a. years OF
age, not mind her crying, pat her on the
shoulder, and advise her to be "a good
girl"
popular man is a man who sends your
baby birthday present, who remembers
you when he has got a couple of theater
tickets he doesn't want. and who speaks to
you no matter how shabby you look or who
he may be with.
A popular man is the concentrated
essence Of sympathy. He has smile for
everybody's joy and words of coincidence for
everybody's sorrow.
Feel It'll 1t doesn't matter whether he
feels 1t or not, my friend, it's manners
make the man, and, more than any other,
the popular man.
