Mustn't Shave Women.

A strange incident occurred in Bonn
bay recently. A monster meeting of
Hindoo BARRIERS was held for the purpose
of considering the question of the i'm
propriety of shaving the heads of Hin
doc widows and thereby disfiguring
them for life About 400 BARRIERS hav
ing assembled, one of them, named Ba
bajee More, read pamphlet in NAH
ratti, in which he stated that the bar
bers of old were happy and contented,
but latterly, as though curse had de-
scended Oh their heads, trade had fallen
off, and they had become poor. The
curse could only be accounted for by the
fact that they were committing great
sin in shaving the heads of poor, inno-
cent widows, thus depriving them of
their best ornament. 1t was against the
Hndoo scriptures to deprive widow of
her hair, and doubtless it was the curses
Of the widows that had lowered their
calling. The meeting thereupon unani-
mously resolved that no barber should
shave widows head, and that if he
did he should be communicated.

Polar Origin Of Humanity.

Believers in the Laplace theory Of the
origin of the sun and the planets are Of
the opinion that the original stock Of
the human race first came into existence
at the poles Of the earth and gradually
moved out toward the equator. All be-
levers in the nebular hypothesis are fast
conforming their ideas to the belief that
this earth was once redhot ball Of fire,
and tbst the human race came into OK
istencesas soon as a portion of the globe
had cooled sufficiently to admit of their
living upon it. The portion most likely
to cool first was the poles, and the evil
dence deduced from this speculation is
that upon which is founded the idea of
the polar origin of the human family.
On the above theory is explained the
mysterious finding of the remains of
tropical birds, beasts and plants far up
in the polar regions. If it is really true
that the poles were the first habitable
spots on the earth's surface, and that
they were rendered so by the globe first
cooling at the spots least affected by
sunshine, it must be also true that the
polar regions are gradually encroaching
upon the temperate and torrid zones.
Who knows but the centuries yet to
come will fill the Indian ocean and gulf
of Mexico with icebergs and keep the
Nile and the Amazon frozen solidly
throughout the year?-St. Louis Repub-

Fiogging Girls.

The authorized fiogging Of little girls
or big girls is a piece of barbarism
which, now that the subject has been
definitely raised, will receive, we trust,
no countenance from the home secretary.
Mr.. Riley says that girls in the ele'
mentary schools are caned, bit of in
formation which we commend to the
immediate notice of Sir John Gorst.
The public of London has outgrown the
days of Mother Brownrigg, and Mother
Brownrigg, as the Newgate Calendar
informs us, was not sustained by judge,
jury, public opinion or Jack Ketch il
her theories and her practice as to the
castigation of girls. There were philos
ophers, to be sure, who approved of the
whipping Of girls. Locke did, for one,
and SO did DR.. johnson. Locke approved
Of a mother who whipped her little
daughter nine times in order to compel
the child to confess some error, and
johnson commended mother who
whipped her child i'll the interest of flu.
ture truthfulness because the girl had
said she came in through one door,
when, in fact, she had come in through
another. But those were days when
children were supposed to be born only
that they might be birched as far as
possible out of their share Of original
sin. Women were publicly logged al
the CARTS tail in the days of Locke and
Johnson-and, of course, in the interest
of discipline and order and morals. We
cannot go back to those days, and any
serious and public attempt to get back
to them would be an absurdity as well
as an outrage London News.
