The Famous Chained Library of
WimbOurne, Ireland.

The Famous Chained Library of
Wfmbourne, Ireland.
Wimbourne, Ireland, is noted for
many things, but it's famous chained
library is perhaps the most notable of
its curiosities. The library possesses
unique interest as being one Of the
earliest attempts to disseminate knowl.
edge among the people. The collection
was made accessible to the people il
The scarcity of books and the value Of
the collection are both indicated in the
care taken for their preservation, and
especially against loss of such treas
ures by theft. By of chains
and rods the books were securely fas-
tened to the shelves, and these chains,
it is rather surprising to learn, were
not removed until 1857, when the Ii
brary fittinos were repaired. Among
the interesting works of the collection
rs a cop of the first edition of Sir
Walter Raleigh's History of the
World" 1914. 1t has suffered from fire,
and tradition says hat Matthew Prior
was responsible for it's condition, the
story being that he fell asleep when
reading it once upon a time, and the
pages We're burned by his candle. 1t
has been neatly repaired, and its mis-
hap now adds to its interest. The old
est volume in the library is u fine old
copy in vellum of "Reginum Aninna-
rum" 1t is in manuscript and bears
the date 1913.

SHAVING IN CHINA.
It Makes the Barber Man of consid
cradle Importance.

cradle Importance.
The custom Of shaving the fore
head and wearing the back hair
long and braided in a cue is now so
firmly established in China as to be
quite universal. Yet it has obtained
for something less than 800 years
only and is of peculiar origin. When
the Tartar tribes of the north in
vaded the Flowery Kingdom and
completely subdued the inhabitants
of the country they decreed that all
Cinnamon should wear their hair
ia this sGyIo- tls Ouros0-oer- 5OHSLUSIUl'F.
The rule was so vigorously enforced
that it has become firmly estab-
lished custom, and, in fact, China
man who fails to comply with it is
treated with contempt, and life for
him in the Celestial empire would
be unbearable.
The face of the Celestial is gen
orally clean shaved as well as the
forehead, mustaches and boards be-
ing permitted only under certain
conditions.
A mustache indicates that its
wearer is a grandfather, and each
style has its own significance. The
peculiar style of headdress makes
the Chinese barber a man Of consid-
cradle Importance, and his strange
methods are interesting. The bar
bors in the orient not only shave the
face and forehead and braid the
cues of their customers, but it is
also part of their art to clean their
ears and remove the hairs that grow
inside the opening.
The shaving is done with razor
much like those at home, except
that it is without a handle, and, be-
ing somewhat dull, it becomes a case
of persistent scraping, This opera
ton is performed without moisture
or lather and must be extremely If
ritating.
A Chinaman must be regular in
his patronage of his barber, as it Is
difficult to imagine a more repulsive
human being than a Celestial with
two days. growth of thick black
hair. on his forehead, and, although
they may neglect all other attrac-
tions to their persons, the Chinese
seldom fail to take religious care Of
their heads and beard.
A few of the Chinese BARRIERS have
regular establishments, where they
await the coming Of their custom
ers, but most of them are of the
itinerant variety.

and others dust alone, Wild ducks,

the former, but for the latter only
the cleanest and driest dust will
