BLUE LAWS OF o5oo 3. c.
Punishment Made to Fit the Crime in
Babylon.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean:
The members of the Bartzen graft in
vestigating committee and the agitators
for a strict enforcement of the Sunday
closing laws were probably too busy yes
terday to pay visit to the opening ses-
sion of Prof. George r. Vincent's class In
sociology at the University or Chicago.
But If they had they might have OBJ
tanned few interesting sidelights on
present day conditions projected upon a
background of forty centuries.
Professor Vincent told few incidents
taken from the happenings in Babylon
about 2500 B. c. to illustrate the fact
thai laws are not always obeyed.
"A few centuries hence" said the pro-
fessor, "archaeologists may dig up some
of our own statute books They may
, find the Sunday closing laws there, and
draw conclusions. They will probably be
at fault but it will not be their fault.
For some of the blue laws of the an
clients students were referred to the
code of Hammurabi," which was In eff
feet about 2500 b. c., and which has Just
recently been translated by Prof Robert
Francis Harper of the University of Chi
cago.
Here are some of the blue laws they
found:
Capital punishment may be inflicted for
a false accusation of capital crime; a
causeless curse or ban; aiding slave to
escape; kidnapping; the desertion OF his
duty by al officer OF the law.
If a woman plays the part of a false
and negligent householder. her husband
shall divorce her and reduce her to the
ran6 of n serva 1t in his house.
IT a woman has "gadded'' she shall be
drowned
IF a man steals furniture at fire
throw him into the fire.
II an officer or a constable is ordered
on an errand of the kind and hires sub
stitute. put him to death.
If a wine seller Goes not receive grain
as the price OF a drink, but receives
money or gives short measure. throw her
into the water
If there is a braw In a wine shop and
the wine seller does not cause the arrest
of the offenders. put her to death
If a prlestess enter a wine shop or keep
a wine shop. burn her.
IF an officer absents himself from his
own ward for more than three years, let
some one else have his property.

Negroes North and South.

From the Richmond Times Dispatch.
The third census of the state OF Florida
shows that in twelve counties of that
state there are 96,33o whites and LAT 1855
negroes. In every one of these counties
the negro population exceeds the white
population. The negroes. says the Times
Union. are numerous in the northern part
of the state and few In the southern
part In counties bordering Georgia and
Alabama there are l2 s5n negroes and
9S,Sl7 whites. In the entire state of Com
necticut there are 1916 negroes of voting
age In Delaware. s37i; In Illinois, 2s.76S:
in Indiana, 8,ls6; in New Jersey. LA;
In New York. 81 .425; in Onio, 31,235.
These figures show the vast difference
between the negro problem in the North
and the negro problem in the South. In
the states just named the voting popu-
lation among the negroes is large enough
to be reckoned with. but In most of the
Northern states the negro Is no more a
factor than the Chinaman is in the South.
They are scattered here and there and
very few communities have enough of
them to make a problem" It is an en-
trely different proposition in state
where tho negro population is equal to.
or in excess of the white population.
The Northern states deal with the negro
as an Individual here and there. The
Southern states deal with negroes en-
masse and as a race. One swallow does
not make summer. II is the negro race
that makes the negro problem.

nervous palliation or something! why
what do you suppose? When the min
lister called before the wedding, l asked
him whether it was necessary 10 have two
cassocks for the bride and groom to kneel
on. He smiled. and said he thought that
something thicker would be better; and
Emily laughed right out and LETT tne

something wrong. SO | corrected myser.

mo. He said that judging by the pres
ent state Of affairs in Russia, he doubted
whether he'd be able to get them; and
even If he could. he doubted whether
they would be agreeable to be knelt upon,
judging by the way they were fighting
oppression. Oh. I was so mad, You can
bet the next time I won't beat around the
bush; I'll come right out and ask wheth-
er or not we need two pillars!"

detail of makeup" than Louis

every popularity adherent to the charac-
ter he assays, and while critics may diff

trionic diseernment of the delineation,
they all admit that he is a past master
In characterization and he knows the re-
levant association of boards to character.
He can tell you their origin, their geog
raphieal or national significance or the
peculiar characteristics of the man hid

All this can be evidenced by a scrutiny
of the boards he displays in depicting diff
ferent characters. His barbarian beard
of Ingomar is as different from. his
Othello as his Macbeth from. his King
Lear or his Falstaff. Each beard worn
Is distinctly In harmony with the his

evening while he was dressing for Falls
taft and asked the reason why be played
Sir John with chin whiskers and NOUS

Jack Falstaff'' Wore a full beard Mr..
James said:
while | do not wish to throw any dis
credit upon the makeup given to Fal-

Hackett or De Bar, | can see no reason
able excuse for Falstaff wearing a beard
of that peculiar cut There is no histori-

"And, by the way, speaking of boards.
do you know that the common tradition
is that the first man, Adam, was created
with a beard?
THE Jews cherished the beard as a
sacred thing, The oath pledged, by my
beard was the most sacred assurance
the orthodox Jew could make. The beard
was also considered the outward sign of
the true man, and whoever rudely
touched this emblem of manhood assailed
the dignity of the owner The ancient
Greeks and Romans wore boards, and II
was not until Alexander the Greats rule
that shaving became evident. He ordered
the Macedonians to he shaved lest their
boards should prove handle to their
enemies This was 800 b. c. The Romans,
however, were compelled by diatribe,
issued by Emperor Julian in 1852 b. c., to
forsake their boards. as only barbarlans

although after his retirement, twenty or
more years ago, he never sang in public,

THE wearing of whiskers in France
has always been regulated by the GUS
tom observed by the head of the nation,
for instance, Francis the First met with
bad accident that left an ugly scar
upon his chin; hence he wore beard,
with the result that all France became
bearded in few months.
Spain was likewise controlled, Phillip
the Fifth could not raise a beard; hence
during his reign Spain went beardless.
