Hut shaving by regulation (llttlo as It may Ih? suspected by those who submit to III has an origin more serious than mere caprice or love of uniformity. It Is the kulgo of service; a survival of tho primitive custom of mutilating slaves lo prevent their escape, or Insure their recognition and recapture If they did escape- The Mosaic law made tho mutilation more merciful than It prol ably had Won previously. Tho printer mode of re-engaging a servant Is set forth In Kxodtis, xx., (1: "Then hU master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to tho disir, or until the doorpost; and his master shall Wro hit ear through with an awl, and ho shall serve him forever." Ah manners grew milder, even this slight mutilation was discarded, and shaving the Ward or the head was re sorted to for marking servants. Fierce and long was the controversy that raged In these Islands during tho sixth and seventh centuries, even to sheddiiiL' of Mood, as to the right manner In which priests servants of tho Lord hoiihl shave their heads. At this dis tance of time there scorns as much to be said for St Columba's frontal ton-tire- from ear to ear across tho brow- as for that favored at Home, which eventually carried the day tho coronal, on the summit of the head. The Woman Catholic priesthood has not yielded to tho lax practice of tho ago. and It Is not many yearn since any Protestant clergyman of these Islands, li.nl he grown any thing more than tho irthislox "mutton-chops," would have forfeited tho conlldenco of his entire Hock.
