Long and Short Hair.

Homer wrote of the long haired
Greeks by way of honorable distinc-
ton. Subsequently the Athenian cav
airy and all Laced@monian soldiery
wore long hair. The Parthians and an
cient Persians wore long, flowing hair.
The Franks and ancient Teutons con-
sidered long hair a mark of high birth.
The Goths looked on long hair as
mark of honor and on short hair as a
mark of thraldom. So did the Gauls.
for which reason Julius Caesar, when
he subdued them, obliged them to cut
their hair short in token of submission
In England judges, the speaker of
the house of commons and at one time
the bishops wore long hair, while Grim
inals and paupers wore short hair. On
the other hand, Jewish priests during
their time of service had their hair cut
once a fortnight, and Roman slaves
wore their hair and beard long, but
shaved their heads when manumitted.
Sailors who escaped from shipwreck
shaved their heads as If manumitted
from the sea. In Ezekiel V, 1, there is
mention of a ''barber's razor" with in
to "thou, son of man, take
thee a barber's razor and cause it to
pass upon thine head and upon thy
beard'

did He Undersfoud7

A well known Edinburgh professor
often became so interested in his sub
ject that when the noon bell rang he
seemed quite oblivious of the fact and
kept the class for several minutes. Ger
tain restless spirits among the stu
dents decided to give him a gentle
hint, so they bought an alarm clock.
London Tit-Bits tells the result.
The clock, set to alarm at precisely
II o'clock, was placed on the profess
or's desk. AS was anticipated, he be-
gan his lecture without observing the
clock. But when the noon hour struck
the alarm went off with a startling
crash.
Even those not in the secret appreci-
ated the joke. There was a round of
applause. The professor smilingly
waited until the alarm and the ap-
plause ceased and then said:
Young gentlemen, l thank you for
this gift. | had forgotten it was my
birthday. An alarm clock Is something
my wife ha< needed for our servant for
a long time. 1t is very kind remem-
brance on your part" Then he went
on with the demonstration which had
been interrupted by the alarm, and the
students were never quite able to sat
isfy themselves whether the professor
understood the joke or not.

NO." she declared.

"Oh, surely you must"
She said again that she didn't, though
to oblige him she would if she could,
and he bowed his head and looked sor-
rowfully out of the window at the
swaying trees loaded with red leaves.
Don't say it?' he exclaimed. Don't
tell me you have no recollection of the
serious import of this day. Think! See
how 1 am impressed by the recollec-

A dawning light spread over her face.

An Ugly Tie.


Duprez, the great but i'll favored
French tenor, was once walking from
the Grand Opera House in Paris with
the baritone Baroilhet, who was not an
Apollo either. They happened to meet
Perrot, the dancer. a man of very great
ability, but short and thin and so ugly
that a manager once said he could nev-
er engage Perrot unless for the Jardin
des Plantes Geological gardens), as he
engaged no monkeys.
Perrot told them the story, and, when
Duprez laughed at him, Perrot said:
"Why, surely you need not laugh. If
am ugly, 1 am certainly not so ugly
as either of you"
''You monkey" said Duprez, this diff
ference shall soon be settled" And, see
ing stranger pass who appeared to be
a gentleman, Monsieur" said he, will
you be so good as to arbitrate in little
difference of opinion between us"
with pleasure" said the stranger.
'if can,"
WELL" said Duprez, "just look at us
and say whom you consider to be the
ugliest of the three"
The gentleman looked for some time
from one to the other and then said:
Gentlemen, give it up. cannot pos
sibly decide" and went away roaring
with laughter.

Ing agent of tobacco firm quoted by
the Philadelphia Record, 81 wished to
introduce among the Chinese two for

interested in, and decided to draw up
a little card extolling this cigar in Chi
nese characters.
81 sought out Lo Hen Wong in San
Francisco, a very intelligent fellow,
and got him to write me a few sen
tences in praise of my article. 1 had
what he wrote Autographed and dis
tributed the cards by thousands in all
the Chinatowns of the United States
They were inscribed with n picture of
the cigar, and below were the words:
Smoke this cigar. 1t is the best on the
market, and two for five is its price
THAT, at least, is what ! thought
was the meaning Of the Chinese char
acters. | found out, some six months
later, my mistake. The words Lo Hen
Wong had written and which | had
had Autographed were: Don't smoke
this cigar. 1t is not good. But the
Gong company's cigarettes, for sale in

for his work, and don't know how

cards before we got on to the trick

Old Names In LnnInn,

If London street names are not al
ways what they seem, the names of the
great parishes usually are. Take Lam
beth, for instance. That vast district
has retained its name practically unaL
tered since the days of Edward the
Confessor, who granted a charter in
which 1t is styled Lambehith Some
lliterate scribe, who helped in the max
ing of "Domesday," did, indeed. make
an effort to obliterate its real name by
calling it Lanchei, but his efforts were,
fortunately, in vain. William Rufus
in another charter named it Lambeth,
since when it has kept its title unsul-
lied.
In the old days Lambehith (from
hithe, haven) was the great river port
whence agricultural produce was fer
ried across the Thames to the moSe
populous country opposite. There are
still many "hithes" left us, such as
Queenhithe and Rotherhithe. and. al
though their original functions have
gone. there still remains a shadow to
remind us Of their departed glory
