Humorous Diversion Of the Roman
Emperor commodus.
Professional BARRIERS are said to have
been introduced into Rome by Meuas
from Sicily, Of which island he was
praetor IN the days OF Cicero. Under
the empire their shops in some in
stances became fashionable resorts at
which every luxury of the toilet was
enjoyed and the gossip and news Of
Rome and the empire were discussed.
The means. luxury and weaknesses OF
personal adornment therein carried to
excess are amply immortalized In the
pages Of Terence. Plautus, Horace.
Juvenal and Martial
Other barber shops were more re

the Emperor Commodus. who, having

The very high sounding word eff.
quette had very humble origin. for
etiquette meant simply a label. 1t de.
rived its present meaning from the
fact that a Scotch gardener who had
laid out the grounds at Versailles FOR
Louis XIV. was much annoyed at the
courtiers walking over bis newly made
paths and at length had labels placed
to indicate where they might walk.
AT first these labels were ignored. but
hint from high quarters that in fu-
ture the walks OF the courtiers must
be within the "etiquettes' or labels
was promptly attended to- To keep
within the 4etiquettes" came to mean
to do the correct thing.

Dragged by Throat to Ground and Ter.
nbly Bitten.
Portsmouth, N. H., Aug Mrs
Margaret weiner Of Atkinson street
was attacked Saturday afternoon by a
vicious shepherd dog which dragged her
70 the ground and severely bit her be-
fore it could be driven of.
The woman was walking along the
street when the dog ieaped at her. His
first spring was at ner throat. For five
minutes she fought him of, hitting him
with her bare hands every time he
leaped at her.
The dog finally secured a hold on her
throat The weight dragged her down,
half fainting from fear and pain. While
she lay on the ground, face down, the
dog tore her clothes and sank his teeth
III her shoulders.
Her cries and the noise made by the
dog attracted Frank McAvoy, a neign-
Dor McAyoy ripped a stake out Of .
fence and attacked the dog.
He was obliged to beat the ansmal
over the head for several moments be-
fore he could drive IT away. Mrs Vein
er, her waist torn off and badly laeerat-
ed about the shoulders and throat, was
carried into her house and attended by
physician.
Her condition is critical on account
