A historical Inquiry into the origin of the custom of shaving the bead, which Is practiced In several countries, would bo Interesting. It was not nntll the fifth century that in Europe priests began to shave their crowns. The Roman clergy then adopt ed the circular method and shaved that small round spot on the top of the head which Is known as the ton- sure. In Scotland, however, the monks shaved the whole of the fore part of the head from ear to ear. In the Andaman islands every man shaves his head, or, rather, gets his wife to shave It for him. Many other orientals also get baldheaded. As for the Chinaman, his method of shaving Is exactly opposed to that of the Roman monk. He shaves all but a round patch, the hair of which grows long and forms the pigtail. When the difficulty of shaving the head Is borne In mind the true strange ness of the custom becomes doubly apparent It Is bard to see the ad vantage of It, yet In one form or an other and at one time or other It has been practiced In nearly every country.
