Homer wrote of the long-haired
Greeks by way of honorable distinc
tion. Subsequently the Athenian
cavalry and all Lacedaemonian sol
diery wore long hair. The Tarthians
and ancient Persians wore long, flow
ing hair. Tho Franks and ancient Teu
tons considered long hair a mark of
high birth. The Goths looked on long
hair as a mark of honor and on short
hair as a mark of thraldom; so did
the Gauls, for which reason Julius
Caesar, when he subdued them,
obliged them to cut their hair short
in token of submission. In England
judges, the speaker of the house of
commons nnd at one time the bishops,
wore long hair, while criminals and
paupers wore short hair. On the other
hand, Jewish priests during their
time of service had their hair cut once
a fortnight, and Bonian slaves wore
their hair and beard long, but shaved
their heads when manumitted. , Sail
ors who escaped from shipwreck
shaved their heads as if manumitted

mention of a "barber's razor," with
instructions to "thou son of man to

How lie Won Her.
A sturdy young foot-baller who has
been courting the lovely daughter of
a wealthy magnate, had many rivals
to contend against. Tho magnate was
an ardent lover of football, and when
the youthful player came a few weeks
ago to plead for the young lady's
hand, the father replied:
"Go and score a couple of goals for
our team and then come and sec mo
again."
The lover pluckily fulfilled tho allot
ted task a few Saturdays ngo, and
called again on the man of money.
"And now," said the magnate, "tell
me in what respect you differ from
your rivals in seeking my daughter's
hand."
"Thnt is easily explained," was the
ready response. "They loved for gold,
