3. W. PA IE EH, Editor, IS, J'AKKKK. I'ubllnher. CLISARWATElt, 'KANSAS NEGLECTED THE RAZOR.

Mu That PaM For the I'rlvlloge of Wearing tliu lleutd. Some curious tiling's have been recorded in the way of taxes on beards and other enactments regarding them, Though Francis I. was himself one of the bearded monarchs, lie was responsible for a tax on the beards of his clergy, which, he believed, would bring1 him in a handsome revenue. The tax gave no trouble to the bishops aud the wealthier ecclesiastics, who paid it and saved their beards; but the poorer priests had mostly to take to the use of the razor. There came a time, however, when the tables were turned.

In the succeeding' reijju a son of the chan-cellor who had suggested the hated tax was returning1 in triumph from the council of Trent to take possession of the bishopric of Claremont. He had not dreamed of any opposition, but, bs-hold! the dean and canons closed the brass gates of the chancel and stood within flourishing shears and razor, and pointing to the statutes de radendis barbis. Notwithstanding his remonstrances and entreaties, they declined to induct him until he had sacrificed bis beard, which was the handsomest of the time. And thus were the sins of the father visited upon the children. The Russians had an old law by "which any one who drew hair from an-other's beard should be frhed four times as much as for cutting off a finger; and the importance and value of the appendage is further illustrated by the fact that although the loss of a leg was estimated at twelve shillings, the loss of the beard was estimated at twenty.

Peter the Great thought to civilize his savages by making them shave, and imposed a tax tf one hundred rubles on the wealthy and middle classes, and a copeck on peasants and laborers. Now, it was a superstition among the poorer people that no beardless son of Adam could ever enter Heaven, and being obliged to part with their beards, the great majority treasured up their hairs to be buried with their bodies. In 'dealing with his soldiers, the Great Peter enlistad the aid of the priests, who cunningly pointed to the fact that they were going to fight the bearded Turk, and that their patron Saiut Nicholas would be unable todistinguish them from their enemies unless they sacrificed their beards. This was all right, and the beards of the beloved Eussians went down before the razorin deference to St. Nicholas.

But unluckily for the priests, the next little war happened to be with the Swedes, who wore no beards, and thus it was that the Russian soldiers demanded to be allowed to abjure the razor, so that the Holy Nicholas might, have no difficulty in arranging for their protection. Our own former reverence for the beard is well illustrated by the story told of Sir Thomas More, who was beheaded for denying the supremacy of tlenry VIII. His usual cheerfulness did not forsake him even on the scaffold. "Help me up," he said to one standing by; "for my coming down let me shift for myself." As he laid his head on the block, he begged the executioner to wait a moment while he carefully placed his beard out of reach of the ax, for, he said, "it hath not committed treason," which reminds one of the story of Simon Lord Lovat, who, the day before his execution on Tower Hill, bade the qperator who shaved him be cautious not to-cut his throat, as suchan accident would cause disappointment to the gaping crowd on the morrow. In the reign of "good Queen Bess," an attempt was made by some of the heads of Lincoln's Inn to restrain the growth of the legal beard.

It was resolved that "no fellow of that house ehould wear a beard of above a fortnight's growth" which no fellow was likely to do if he "consulted his own comfort. Although, as we read in the Anecdotes," transgressions of this resolution were puuished with fine, loss of commons, and final expulsion, such was the vigorous resistance to the tyrannical order that in the following year all previous orders respecting beards were repealed.
