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was dually repealed In 17G2 by Catherine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."?

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

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.

The first false eye was a metal band
which gripped the head and was fitted
with a plate to cover the blind eye,
covered with leather on which an
eye was painted. Then came shells,
like halves of nutshells, of gold, stiver
' or copper, enameled or painted to resemble
an eye and Inserted under the

iirtiucini ejm were niaae or porcelain
