irrespective of creed The tonsures of the monastic
orders in Europe and the shaver pates of the
BUDDHIST clergy in the Far Orient are attributable
10 considerations OF humility In ancient times
when slavery prevailed in Europe slaves Were dis
tinCuished by their shaver heads, and In many
parts OF the globe. notably in Japan and Siberia,
convicts have their heads kept shaver by the au-
thort!es with the object of dvesting them or the
respect OF their fellow citizens.
We all remember how little children in the Old
Testament apostrophized the Apostle Elijah on &C
count Of mis- lack of hair and they have their
counterparts in the little street urchns or the
present day. who impudently request their elders
to keep their hair on" White and gray hair
have furnished the theme of innUmerable graceful
ballads and poems. such as, for instance, that
pretty song which begins with the words Silver
