great contemporary writer the "infiu.
ence Of sen power upon history" and
wrote. u century and a quarter ago:
"In time Of peace, 1t IL necessary to
prepare, and TO be always prepared,
for war by sea-" He advocated the
establishment Of naval academy,
and a supplementary course for Off.

War College. and advocated the con.
slant study and practice Of feet evo.

Jones' Success with "scratch" Crews
One of the strangest things In Paul
Jones career was the success he

all nations. among them Maltese. Por.

denounced for having returned TO the
place of his birth bent on destruction;
but, as Cooper Justly points out. an
officers oath Obllges him to do all In
his power to harass the enemy; and II
was not only Paul Jones' right, but
his duty. to use his knowledge of the
Scotch and Irish coasts In the prosecu.
ton of the war. If he had any feel.
ing on the subject, 1t would have been
his duty to suppress 1t. But Paul
Jones probably had 10 feeling what.

his native land as child, and upon
his last visit he had been cruelty III

duty on this cruise with no more re.

Bench, bar, and Beard.

The regulations for shaving observed
In the bench and bar probably come
down from Roman times, and the his
tory of the custom among that people
IL curious one. Pliny says that boards
were universally cultivated a. a mat.
ter Of course till about 800 II. G., when
Sicilian BARRIERS, who probably acquired
their art from Greece, first. came to
Rome, and Scipio Africanus set the
fashion Of shaving every day. Thence.
forward II became 30 much In vogue In
good society that the term barbarous,
outlandish, was long supposed to mean
bearded, In alluslon to the unkeinpt
hair Of unclvilized nations. Increased
accuracy In etymology has shown the
real meaning to be akin to balbus, STAN.
mcring, In alluslon to their uncOuth
speech.
For three centuries BARRIERS had 1t all
their own way In Roman circles. Then
came the Emperor Hatrian. who. as
Plutarch afiirms, grew his beard to hide
some ugly scars, and forthwith It be
came the mode. Lawyers and priests.
even more conservative In their oh.
servances than other folks, continued
to shave; hence. It il supposed, came
the traditional practice Of the English
bar. through the law courts Of Italy
