THE WEARING OF BEARDS. At Omm Time a Tax Was Exacted Far the frlvllege. In days gono by tho wearing of a beard was a privilege that had to be paid for, the tax on every beard of a fortnight's growth being 3s. 4d. In the gracious days of Queen Elizabeth. For over half a century the inonarchs of Russia made their male subjects who wore beards pay Into tbc national exchequer. This tax was Imposed by l'eter the Great in 1705, the nobles having to disburse 100 rubles nu%.tlie lower classes 1 kopeck. The tax on beards was kept up by Fetor's four successors on the throne of all the Russias, and it was dually repealed In 17G2 by Catherine II. France, too, at ?ie time Imposed a l>card tax upon the clergy, which was paid by those who could afford it, although the large,majority had to yield to the razor's onslaught. In the fourteenth century shaving was popular with young men, while the old men were attached to forked beards. The latter custom Is referred to by Chaucer, who In dscribing an assembly says, "A merchant was there with a forked beard." Beards were worn In various shapes and forms dur I lug the reigns of Elizabeth, James I. I and Charles I., as the poems, plays and j other literary productions of those ! periods amply testify. In his "Auatomle of Abuses" Stubbs alludes to the barber who was accustomed to ask his client whether he wished his benrd "cut to look terrible to your enemy or | amiable to your friends, grim and stern i In countenance or pleasant and demure." William Harrison, a clergyman from whom one gains many peeps at the slx| teentli century, refers to some of the styles of beards at that period. If a 1 face happened to be "platter-like," a long, slender beard would make It seem ( the narrower. If It be weasel beaked, I then "much hear left on the ehfbkes ' will make the owner looke like a bowI died bed and so grim as a goose."? London Standard. BUTTER WEIGHT. What One Observer I.rarned From A Visit to a Grocery. Live and learu. I heard n respectable looking, motherly soul, making purchases for the family, say to the grocer, "He 3ure to give 1110 butter weight, now, for I'vo been n long time customer of yours." "Certainly, Mrs. MacLuren," he replied cheerily, "you are entitled to It If any one Is." Yet she bought no butter. "What Is butter weight?" I Inquired when she had gone. "Why, that's Just a little sop we hand out to some of our old customers," said the salesman. "Instead of maklug on exact |>ound of anything they buy we make It a fraction over, which tickles them nearly I to death. Of course we are particular to let them nee they aro getting more than their money's worth; hence we keep their trade." ' I next asked how the store made up for this extra allowance. "That's dead easy," was the reply, "but as It Is a trick of the trade I don't think we ought to tell everybody." "Perhaps other customers receive short weight?" "If they do, we don't let 'en* know It." "Maybe your prices are Just a fraction over tbo market?" "Never! We sell cheaper than anybody." "Maybe your goods are Inferior?" At that he quailed. Referring to a dictionary, I learned that butter weight Is an allusion to a custom of exacting seventeen or eighteen ounces or even more to the pound of butter, possibly on the ground that the water In It would soon evaporate and bring the pound down to sixteen ounces. In Scotland tron weight (twenty-ono to twenty-ejght ounces to the puuuuj wan useu in DUying Dljttpf.rNew York Press. When Warner F1H. Richard Wagner, the composer, was nn ardent republican In 1840. In the archives of Dresden there 14 a document setting forth a case of high treason against the musician. He was accused of having written to a friend a letter proposing to turn Saxony Into a republic. "But whom shall we make president?" ho asked. "I see nobody competent for the office except our present sovereign, Frederick Augustus II." Frederick Augustus does not seem to have appreciated the humor of the suggestion that be should doff the crown and content himself with tho dignity of a republican president. For this flash of unconscious fun Wagner had to bolt to Switzerland. Artlflelal Ere*.
