Bench, Bar and Beard.

The regula tons for shaving observed
In the bench and bar probably come
down from Roman times, and the his
tory Of the custom among that people
is a curious one. Pliny says that
boards were universally cultivated as
a matter Of course till 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 COOL society that the term
parbaus. out'andish. was long supposed
to mean tea -tlel III aliusion to the I'M
kempt hair Ct uncivilized nations. Ill
creased accuracy in etymology has
shown the real meaning to be akin to
balbus, stan!mering. in allusion to their
uncOuth speech. For three centuries
BARRIERS haG it all their own way in
Roman circles. Then came the En-
peror Hatrian, who, as Plutarch af
firms, grew his beard to hide some
ugly scars, and forthwith it became the
mode. Lawyers and priests, even more
conservative in their observances than
other folks, continued to shave: hence,
It Is supposed, came tie traditional
practice Of the English bar, through

reputed that the generous royal lady
spends $4,000 every year in this adml-
rable way.
The present sultan of Turkey, with
all his traditional hatred Of the giaour,
has fallen into the habit of sending
Christmas gifts to some of the Chris
tian courts. These remembrances con
sist for the most part of jars of pre-
served rose leaves and Lavantine sweet
meats prepared by his own confection-
er. The aged emperor of Austria sends
a liberal gift Of priceless Tokay to his
fellow Sovereigns. The domestic old
queen of Denmark, the "mOther-in-law
OF Europe" who is an inveterate knit
ter of wooden stockings, dispenses her
yearly accumulation at Christmastide.
The genial king Of the Belgians sends
nothing but checks, and it is whispered
that his bank account is considerably
reduced at the holiday season. VIII
helmina of the Netherlands, who Is as
prudent as she is thrifty, gives decora-
tons and confers orders. This was
also the economical Christmas practice
adopted by Queen Victoria. The king
of Spain sends presents only to his rel
atiyes, ana the royal family of Portu-
gal rich as it is, is not much addicted
to the gift habit. The queen sends a
generous check to the Vatican and the
king distributes Il few decorations.

Episcopal churches celebrated Chris

serve the glorious Fourth Roman
candles. skyrockcts. tirecrackers and Il
general rejoicing and noisy hilarity
marked the day sacred to the birth of
the Prince Of Peace The idea was
that the occasion was u joyful one and
men should vocferously attest their
happiness. Echoes of these old cele-
brations are still heard in portions Of
the south which were settled by the
cavaliers. Under the reformation,
however, and especially under Puri-
tanism, this form of observing Christ
mars was done away with. In the ear
ly days Of New England Christmas
was scarcely observed at all, and it is
only in comparatively recent years
that the present custom of giving and
feasting was revived in sections where
the Puritan had held sway.

~ NE OF the numerous advantages
enjoyed by royal perSonages,
w an advantage, too, which has
not been greatly exploited, Is
the power to give to any object dis
penScd as Christmas gift, no matter
now trivial 1t may be, u distinct and
abiding value. 1t is related Of one of
the mediacval pontiffs that on Il GER
tam occasion he was so grateful for n
service rendered him by young prince
OF the Borgia family that he begged
MN to name some suitable reward.
Come, my child" he suggested In
Sinuatingly. Tell me what | can do
to please you. Don't be afraid to nut
my lberality to test. It's the blessed
christmas season, you know"
His youthful highness sighed deep
. ~, but did not seem able to find the
words to frame his request
courage, my friend" persisted his
holiness. Il am in the mood for Civ
ing. Ask confidently, and | should ad.
wise you II ask something more sub,
Stantial than my blessing"
The young Borgla realized that the
opportunity was golden. At tnat time
the temporal power of the Roman
pontiIf was 50 great that Kingdoms
were at his disposal. The prince knew
all that, but it did not tempt him.
Your holiness" he fatered pros
tNting himself, Il beg you to give me
Il lock Of your hair"
At this unexpected request the pope
was both startled and touched. 1t
seemed incredible that Borgu could
be satisfied with such sentimental
requital, and yet the young fellow
seemed to be in earnest.
"Why do you select such a worthless
thingt' his holiness demanded.
"Oh, do not refuse mel" the prince
cNpOStulatcd. Think Of its value as Il
relic after Your holiness is canoniz2Iw
The pOntiff smiled grimly. Then he
put his right hand upon his head and
sighed long and rather mournfully. He
had some hair remaining, but scarcely
enough to serve as u relic
"As you WILL" he groaned, but |
had rather you had asked me for the
kingdom Of the Two Sicilies"
Some Of the Christmas presents ex-
changed by latter day royalty are al
most absurd III their practically. For
many years the gentle and well below
ed Plus IN. was in the habit of ex-
changing Christmas gifts with the
equally amiable Victoria Of England.
The pope invariably sent package Of
specially prepared and eXquisitely
scented snuff, with an autograph letter
eXtolling its virtues as Il remedy for
catamh and kindred disorders. This
standing gift was sometimes accom-
panied by few jars of wine made
from fruit taken from particular vine
