HAIR AND Boards.
They HIVE Played Important Parts
In the Worlds History.

In centuries past the human hair
PLAYED an important part in all judicial
proceedings Those that were permit
ted to Wear beard and hair had rights
that could not be claimed by the shorn
and shaved. When men made oath
they touched their beard and hair, and
women placed the finger tips Of the
right hand on their tresses.
Servants were obliged to have their
hair cut. and if a freedman went into
slavery he had to divest himself of his
hirSute adornments. An adult adopted
by foster parents was obliged to have
his beard shaved. and the shaving OF
beard and hair was a punishment In
hicted on criminals The jurisprudence
of our ancestors dealt with punishment
"by skin and hair for small offenSes
and "by neck and hand for greater
crimes
There has always been more or less
superstition about hair. Great strength
was implied by it, and wizards and
witches knew Of COncoctiOns of hair by
which they poisoned enemies. Cats
hair was especially named in the cate
CORY OF poisonous hairs, and even at
the beginning of the seventeenth cen
tury Paulus Zacchias, a famous physi'
clan, writes of the virulent poison OF
the hair of cats.
Among civilized people such supersti,
tious beliefs have gone out of existence
and only Malays give their enemies
tiger hairs in broth to kill them.

HEART OF LOUIS XIV.
Row II Came 20 BE Buried In west

remarkable story regarding the
heart Of Louis XIV. and how 1t came

Qud was confirmed by his brother, the
ate Sir William Harcourt a Har-
?ourt who lived during the first French
revolution had many connections in
France ana invited many Of the emf
Eres to visit him. Among them was the
canon Of ST. Denis On leaving the
canon expressed his thanks for the
kindly hospitality Of his host and pro
Guccd from his pocket something that
looked like Il piece of dried leather an
inch or 50 long. which he presented to
him Il was" he said. In the cathe-
dral when the royal tombs were broken
open and the contents scattered to the
winds This heart IL that Of Louis
XIV. 1t was kept in a separate recep-
tacle, and | managed to get away with
it, The heart thus came into the pos
session of the Harcourt family and
was occasionally produced for the in
spection of visitors as Il curiosity. The
late Dr. Buckland. dean Of Westmin-
ster, was on Il visit when it was
brought out for his inspection. He was
then very old and had some reputation
as a man of science, and the scientific
spirit moved him TO wet his finger and
rub 1t on the heart He put the finger
10 his mouth after that, and before he
could he stopped he put the heart into
his mouth and swallowed it, whether
by accident or design will never be
known. Very shortly afterward he died
and vaS buri"d IN Westminster abbey.
1t Is impossible he could ever have di-
gcstcd the thing. Consequently the
heart Of Louis NV. must now be re-
posing in Westminster abbey inclOsed
