The regulations for shaving observed In
the bench and bar probably come down
from Roman times, and the history OF the
custom among that people Is curious
one Pliny says that boards were univer
SALLY cultivated as a matter OF course TIL
about 800 b. c., when Sicilian BARRIERS
who probably acquired their art from
Greece, first came to Rome, and Scipio
Africanus set the fashion Of shaving every
day. Thenceforward it became SO much
the vogue in good society that the term
barbaus, outlandisb, was long supposed to
mean bearded, in allusion to the unkempt
hair of uncivilized nations. Increased &C.
curacy in etymology has shown the real
meaning to be akin to balbus, stammer-
ING. in allusion 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
affirms. grew his beard to hide some ugly
scars, and forthwith 1t became the mode
Lawyers and priests, even more conserva-
tive in their observances than other folks
continued to shaye hence, 1t Is supposed,
came the traditional practice of the English
bar, through the law courts OF Italy and
France. Good Words.

THE QUICK HORSE.
An Outgrowth Of Improved American
Methods of Fire Fighting.

Methods of Fire Fighting.
IN st. Nicholas there is an article on
'"~,he Quick Horse, by f. S. Dellen-
baugh, devoted to the horses of the mod
ern fire department. Mr.. Dellenbaugh
says: 1t is only within recent years that
quick horses have been developed and
appreciated and admired, and the poet
has not vet attempted to sing the praises
of this more prosaic but noble animal.
Yet. after ALL to one who carefully ex-
amines the matter the quick horse ap-
pears to have quite as good, II not bet
ter, claim upon our admiration and
sympathy and encouragement. The
swift horse wins the race, and in these
days he may cause considerable money
| to change hands, in which there Is GER
tainly nothing that is commentaries
| But the quick horse l write about saves
life. saves property and under modern
| conditions of life is essential TO our
I safety and general well being He is

| fire departments, which could not now

The fire-that was altogether a SEQ
ondary matter, and when they all final

more or less efficiency. There was
great deal of fun in the business, but
fires were not extinguished. Our cities
