Although DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes
never practiced medicine, those who
knew him intimately say that he
cheered more sinking inyalids, cured
more sick people and did more good,
even from medical standpoint, than
many of his young physician friends.
The secret Of his power lay in his over
noWlng cheerfulness and kindness of
heart He scattered flowers Of good
cheer" wherever he went. With him
optimism was a creed. "NIirth is Gods
medicine" he declared Everybody
ought to battle in it. Grim care, mo-
roseness, anxtety-all the rust of life
ought to be secured off by the Oil of
mirth."

DURER AND LEONARDO.
Explanation OF the Differences he
tween Their Work as Painters.

,cxn,ouaIi,,u of the Differences Re-
txvecu Their Work as Painters.
Durcr was born Il German, Leonardo
an italian. This sums up much OF the
difference between their work as paint
els. The Italian race, under its sunny
skies. has an Unborn love Of beauty.
The German, in a sterner climate
"IIuW shall freeze after this sum!
wrote purer. during his stay III Italy,
to a friend in neutrality-suspicious. to
this day the energy that carved its
way through the vast forests OF his
country and some Of the gloomy rO-
nance that haunted their dark Shad-
oWS. The German spirit is character
lied by Il combination of the wild and
rugged with the homely and tender, by
mtlitutive depth, enigmHtic gloom,
sincerity and energy, by iron diligence
and discipline" Very remarkable quail
tiles these, and to be found in Durer's
work. which is the reason that we de-
scribe him as being so representative
of the TeutOnic race.
But it was not only the difference of
race that helped to mold the genius of
these two men differently. Each was
Il manifestation of the new birth" of
art and learning that was spreading
over Europe-Leonardo Of the form of
it which appeared in Italy and Durel

THE HAIR COMB.
It Was In Remote Times USed An
Religious Ceremonies.

IT Was In Remote Times Used In
Religious Ceremonies.
II would be curious to know what
mystic meaning our fOrefathCrs at
tached to the simple act OF cOmblng
the hair. We learn from old church
records that the hair of the priest or
bishop was comDed several times dur
ing services by one Of the inferior cler-
gy, but what such queer proceeding
signitied no one knows. The comb Is
also mentioned as one Of the lmple-
ments used during high mass, but only
when sung by bishop. Mass combs
of the precious metals are still reckon
ed as the most valuable possessions OF
some European churches, though they
are Of no use in modern ceremonies.
Besides the gold and silver combs, the
poorer churches had them Of ivory,
iron, horn and even wood. Combs espe-
cially known to antiQuarianS are those
Of st. Neot, st. Dunstan and st. NAL
achias That formerly belonging to st.
Thomas, the martyr Of Canterbury, is
still kept in the church at Thetford
that of st. Cuthbert, the woman hat
err at Durham cathedral.
From sundry references in old leg
ends to the use Of the comb in divina-
lions and from its appearance in com
binations with pagan emblems on rude,
IL sculpturcd stones In many of the old
countries, it seems probable that II
was a widely known pagan device and
one that was highly vencrated.-I4on

SHAVING is ANCIENT.


The Custom Was Probably Followed
lii Prehistoric Times.
1t is not improbable that prehistoric
man shaved, for Curiously shaped
Shells and flint flakes have been dis
covered which have been supposed to
be very ancient raZOrs. In remote parts
OF China men have their chinS scraped,
without water or soap, by instruments
very similar to these, and the men of
the stone age would most likely find
out Mt very early stage that to leave
hair upon their face was to give a use,
full handle to their enemies.
That, indeed, was the reason why
Alexander the Great compelled his sol,
dierS to shave, and his order is among
the earliest definite instances Of shaw
ing upon record, although there can be
no question that the practice existed
long before his day.
The oldest Egyptian sculptures show
some men clean Shaven, and others
partially so, with curled boards. It is
recorded in Genesis that Joseph, when
he went from prison to the presence of
Pharaoh, about 1900 B. c., shaved
himself and changed his raiment."

The Girdle OF Old,

Howell quotes as familiar a French
proverb, I'll quite sa Ceinture' (He
has given up his girdle), which init
mated as much as if he had become
bankrupt or had all his estate forfeit
ed, it being the ancient law Of France
that when any man upon some 0tfenSe
had the penalty Of contiscation infiict-
ed upon him "he used before the tribu-
nal to give up his girdle, implying
thereby that the girdle held everything
that belonged to a mans estate, as his
budget of money and writings, the
keys Of his house, with his sword, dag
ger and gloves" The fact that the Cir
die was used as purse had much to
do with its Importance in general ap-
probation. We have an English PROV
erb contirmatory of this appreciation.
1t is said, "Unglrt, unblest," and that
1t was in very common use is clear
from the frequency with which the
phrase occurs in old out of the way
