Long Hair and Genius.

Long hair was in vogue among mu.
sicians and artists long after it ceased
tO be worn by the rest of mankind.
The long-haired artist with his velvet
coat, his sombrero, and his mysteri.
GUS cloak, has altogether disappeared,
and lengthy locks only linger nova.
days, with few exceptions, on the
head of the musician.
Indeed, this luxuriant thatch would
appear to exercise a potent influence
on audiences, for it is said that, in the
agreement Of a notable artist about to
20 on foreign tour, there was q spe.
cial clause that he shall not have his
hair cut. This possibly is an inven-
tion, but it is an extraordinary thing
that musicians are well-nigh the only
people left who give but limited en-
pIoyment to the shearsof the barber.
1t is also fact that their hair
flourisheS better than most peoples.
/ have recently heard theory that
the great prevalence of badness in
the present day is entirely due to the
constant close cropping which has ex'
listed for the last five and twenty
years. If you look at the portraits
of celebrities Of thirty or forty years
ago, you will be perfectly astonished
at the carefully arranged couture
which meandered over their coat-col-
lars, and you feel inclined to begin
singing, "Get yer air cut" without
further delay. You will also be
amazed to learn that most of them
retained this extraordinary growth
to the end of their days 1t is sim
cerely to be hoped that the theory
which has recently been started will
not be the means of the introduction
of race of long-haired men. Lon

WHILE we are according all honor
to Columbus for discovering America,
it is we'll enough to remember that he
did not plant the seeds of civil or re-

considerably more than a hundred
years after his discovery that light
began to break in that direction.

year was held in the synagogue last
evening. The church was handsomely
decorated with tropical plants and cut
flowers, the pulpit being nearly buried

the Hebrew ritual, and addresses by
Rabbi Jesselson and singing by the
choir. The music for the service is
very fine, and the rendition of it by the
choir is excellent. The subject of
Rabbi Jesselson's address was "a
Happy New Year." He took for text
words found in Deuteronomy, al lay
before you life and goodness, or deatn
and evil" He reminded his congrega
ton that they have all erred, and eau
TONED them to make restitution and to

remarks was touching and eloquent,
