"Forasmuch as the wearing of long

rule of Gods word, which says it is
shame for man to wear long hair, as
also tho commendable custom gener-

"We, the magistrates, who have sign

Wsuer of Battle.

In 1917 one Richard Thornton, called
to the bar Of the kings bench charged
with the murder of Mary Ashford, in
open court threw down his glove and
defed his accuser, whereupOn there
was q pretty to do. Wager Of battle,
it was supposed, had died a natural
death in the dark ages, but Lord Ellen
borough after much consultation OF
precedent held that it was still the law
of England and ordered field to be
prepared. ThorntOn's accuser thereup-
on declining combat, the prisoner was
discharged. Next year parliament
passed an act abolishing this privilege
of appeal to the strong right arm.

Bee Comb.

Bee comb or beeswax, the material
of which the honey cells in the beehive
are composed, is wax produced by o
system of chemistry carried on In the
"wax pockets" which are located in the
abdomen of all working bees. 1t Is a
peculiar substance and Is said to be
analogous to the fats of higher ami
mails. Originally it was supposed that
this wax was taken up in an almost
pure state from the flowers by the
bees, but experiments carried on by
the leading botanists and chemists OF
the world conclusiveIy prove that the
bee is capable of celebrating his pecul-
iar wax, although confined to a diet
purely saccharin In its nature.

the resemblance is almost startling. And
the younger Irving's performance Of his
robust. straightforward. old-fashicned melo-
drama is no feeble Imitation Of his father s
work, but is so vigorous, effective and
compelling as to strengthen the growing
conviction that II. b. has reached a point
where his fathers fame Is no longer a
help TO him. but rather a hindrance. The
welcome extended to Irving and his wife,
Dorothea Baird. was Enthusiastically hearty.
and unless the signs fail it will not be long
before he has q permanent thedter in Lon
don. At present he is busy grubbing among
the masses Of plays sent in TO him for Two
or three that are better than mediocre.
II is interesting to note that in the cast OF
The Lyons Mail" Is Frank Tyars. who
who plays the old father. This same actor
was with II, nry Irving In 1871 when the
latter first appeared in the play. ChSrlcs
is another sterling actor in the

Henry's dresser for years and years, Is now
