Lucky Kiss.

A man named Winch, a butcher of
Sydney, N. S. W., recently took the
liberty of kissing a handsome girl who
was n of his customers She re-
sented the a%ffront, and Winch was
prosecuted. He was fined heavily by
the board of magistrates, and lengthy
notices Of the case appeared in the
press. The publicity given to the pro-
ceedings happened to attract the no.
tice of a firm of solicitors in Sydney,
who had been appointed trustees of
certain property which had been left
to Winch by a distant relative some
years before, the solicitors up to then
having been unable to find any trace
of the missing heir. Winch was com.
municated with by the firm, and, hay
ing duly established his identity, be-
came the possessor of a snug little
fortune.

The Razor in History.

In tracing the history Of shaving it
should be sufficient to go back to the
Greeks and Romans, upon whose civili-
cation our own is based. Boards were
highly esteemed among the former up
to the time of Alexander the. Great,
who was smooth shaver. One reason
for the abolition of the beard among
soldiers was the fact that it afforded
the enemy something to lay hold of.
At an earlier period the wearing Of
certain types of helmet and gorget had
protected the beard. The Romans wore
boards down to the time of the Gallo
wars, while the Gauls, albeit barba-
rians, were smooth shaver save for the
mustache. The antiquity Of barber
shops and z in Rome is variously
given by historians. Some have
claimed that the first barber shop, at
least in that part of the world, vas
opened in Sicily in 300 B. c., while
other authorities make this date far
earlier or later. The Sicilian seems to
have been the first barber.

CATALONIA GREAT SEA POWER
Spanish Province Centuries Ago Held
Undisputed Naval sway-PeopIe
Still Proud of Achievements.

The Moors were expelled from Bar
celona in the ninth century. Catalonia
had more than four centuries start
over Seville and six over Malaga. 1t
is little wonder, therefore, that Span
ish enterprise, if such a term is ap-
plicable, is seen at it's best in Cata-
lonia, because it has had a real oppor-
tunity to express itself. Catalonia has
always looked beyond it's geographical
limits. 1t has, in fact, looked
ward. 1t was on the waves that the
men of Barcelona found riches and
glory. They were the rivals of the
Pisans. Genoese and Venetians, and
Barcelona can boast of a. naval his
tory as great perhaps as theirs. Cata-
n for a time held sway of the sea,
and it was only upon the consolidation
of Spain at the beginning of the six
teenth century and the rise Of the
great modern states that the city was
ecllpsed as a sea power. The Cata-
lonians, proud of their achievements,
looked with little favor upon Column

prise which had been promoted by
neighbOring CASTLE.
