CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY.

Cultures are to be high again, but not so high as in the past Formerly doorways had to heightened to ac- commodate the eighteenth century woman of fashion. Marie Antoinette's s hairdresser had to mount a stool in order to get above his work. Women of that time had to kneel in their coaches to get their head covering in- side, or drive with their heads out of window. Mme.s de Genlis was caught by her hair while hastening to greet VoItaire at Ferney, but escaped Ab- salom's fate, her hair remaining on the bough. And the Duchesse de Char tres had room on her hair one even ing for a miniature man of war in full sail, on another for a representation of her little son, Louis Philippe, sleep ing in the lap of his nurse.

ROYAL ARcANUM.

The Supreme Regent calls attention to the good work of the Order and it's substantial net gain of 1,426 members during the past year. The tabulation included in his report shows that Iowa leads both in net gain and in per centage of gain, with 375 to the good; New Jersey is second, with 368 net gain; Pennsylvania next. with 267; Ontario with 259; Quebec with 219; North Carolina with 206. and Wash ington with 205.
 Tn some of the jurisdictions" says the Supreme Regent local causes pre- vailed to prevent any increase and contributed to a net loss, although many of the members worked dili- gently and heroically. They deserve commendation for all that has been done by them. The Supreme Regent also calls attention to the fact that the net gain for the first three months of 1913 amounts to 90S, which makes an suspicious beginning.

CONCERNING HERMITs

Hermits, of whom, according to re- gently published statistics, there are 99O in modern Italy, were a century or more ago regarded as picturesque feature of English country houses. Samuel Rogers records that Archibald Hamilton, afterward duke of Hamilton, advertised for a hermit as an orna- ment to his pleasure grounds; and it was stipulated that the said hermit should have his beard shaved but once year, and that only partially.
 Mark Powyss, an English squire, of fered $250 year for life to any man willing to live as hermit on his es- tate for seven years He was to be well supplied with provisions, books and other comforts. and in return had to abstain from straying around his hermitage and from cutting his hair, beard or nails.
 The offer was accepted by a man who abode by the conditions for four years and then threw up the job.
