LONG HAIR OR SHORT.
Curious Customs of Various Nations
in Ancient and Me-
dieva1 Times.

Among the ancient Greeks, all dead
persons were thought to be under the
Jurisdiction of the internal deities, and
therefore no man could resign his life
ill some of his hairs were cut to conse-
crate them, says the London Mirror.
During the ceremony of laying out,
clothing the dead, and sometimes the in
terment itself, the hair of the deceased
person was hung upon the door, to sig
Nifty the family was in mourning. 1t was
sometimes laid upon the dead body,
sometimes cast upon the funeral pile, and
sometimes placed upon the grave.
At Patroclus' funeral, the Grecians, to
show their affection and respect to him,
covered his body with their hair; Achil-
les cast it into the funeral pile.
Osiris, the Egyptian, consecrated his
hair to the gods, as we learn from Do
iorus; and in Arian's account of India,
t appears it was custom there to pre-
serve their hair for some god, which
hey first learned Gas that author re-
oorts) from Bacchus.
The Greeks and Romans wore false
lair. 1t was esteemed a peculiar honor
among the ancient Gauls to have long
hair. For this reason, julius Caesar,
upon subduing the Gauls, made them
cut off their hair as token of submis-
sion
In the royal family of France it was a
long time the peculiar mark and privi-
ege of kings and princes of the blood to
wear long hair, artfully dressed and
curled; everybody else being obliged to
be polled. or cut round, in sign of in
feriority and obedience.
In the eighth century it was the Gus
tom of people of quality to have their
children's hair cut for the first time by
persons they had particular honor
and esteem for. who, in virtue of this
ceremony, were reputed a sort of spir-
itual parent or godfather to them.
In the year 1896 there was a canon
importing that such as wore long hair
should be excluded coming into church
when living and not be prayed for when
dead.
Charlsmagne wore his hair very short,
his son shorter; Charles the Bald had
none at all. Under Hugh Capet it be-
gan to appear again. This the eccles-
iastics were displeased with and excom-
municated all who let their hair grow
Peter Lombard expostulated the mat
ter go warmly with Charles the Young
that he cut of his own hair, and his
successors. for some generations. wore
it very short
A professor of Utrecht, in 1850, wrote
expressly on the question, whether it
be lawful for men to wear long hair,
and concluded for the negative

In politics Nixon was the one man

Croker appointed a committee of five
to investigate vice conditions under
