Alexander of Greece I. Said to Have
llcen tlio Flrut Harbor—Heard, Have
lleon Common During tlio History of
Karllest Knee,—Seme Remark,.
1 o TUB Editor—Can you tell us when sliav-
biR mme into fashion, also something of the
history of boards? Brown and Jones.
This question is apropos. At this
period, when tlio Nineteenth century is
coining to tlie end of the division, Hie
firo has been put out in the box and ole
father timo lias reversed tlio wheels and
put on the brakes, it is particularly fit
ting that somebody, either Brown or
Jones or both, should uriso and put this
question. It is a fin tie siccle question,
The first instance of shaving originated
from tlio necessitys of war. In (ho late
autumn of the year 800 B. O., the Mace
donians got their crops in early, and
alter Iho celebration of the harvest home
tilings got pretty uninteresting in Mace
donin. It was too cold to fish and too
warm to skate, and tlio prospect for flic
Macedonian on pleasure bent when ho
fired up the basoburner and reflected
that skates hadn’t been invented yet was
not a happy one.
Things continued to drag on until
Thanksgiving time, 800 B. C\, when tho
Macedonians got together, sailed down
on tho Greeks and did them battle. The
Greeks got tho worst of it, nnd for no
other reason than that they sported long,
flowing beards. Tho marauding Mace
donians grabbed theso Grecian orna
ments nnd yanked the poor Greek forty-
ways for Sunday, leaving him a howl
ing mass on tlio ground. It was this
incident that probably gavo rise to tho
couplet:
When Greek meets Macedonian
Then comes the tug of beard.
An old veteran by the name of Alex
ander saw nt once tho weak point of the
Grecian forces and lie called in a loud
voice, “Oil with every beardl” That
sottled it. The next day- a committee
called on tho army with a ripsaw and a
bucket of salve and amputated every
heard in sight. This is an account of the
first shave known to history. The rec
ord of the first bartering is a frontlet of
curls made for u princess in tho oast
8,000 years ago, now in the British mu
seum. Ilomer 1ms the first reference to
the razor in tlio Eighth century, B. C. |
lie says, with some feeling:
Death or life bland, on a razor’s edge.
After tho rape of tho boards of the
Grecian army shaving becamo popular
with some, but not until a much late
day, and when Greece had started down
tho toboggan slide of adversity, did it
become general. In fact it is a well
known fact among historians that tho
fashion of smooth faces among the men
has marked the effeminacy, weaknes
and final downfall of all nations. The
Romans were always partial to beards
until tlio Roman empire became too big
for its clothes and acquired a swagger,
when Hadrian set tho example of a
smooth chin in 101 A. D. and gave tho
Roman barbers a boom. Tho first men
tion of barters is by Pliny. Somewhere
along about 206 B. C. Hcipio Africanus
took a jaunt to Sicily and tliero saw
some barbers. They pleased him, and
ho brought 200 back to Rome und had
his beard taken olf.
Soipio was a good deal of a Ward Me
Allister in liis day, and tlio Roman
swells rapidly followed suit.. After that
it got to be a common sight in Romo tot
a row of men to sit until 12 o’clock Sat
urday night and listen for “Nexl!” But
this was only among tlio Four Hundred.
Tho bone nnd sinew of tbe Roman re
public sworo by tlioir beards. Ail
through tha orient short hair nnd beard
less chins have always meant a condi
tion of mourning and servitude. A long
beard was priceless, nnd tho Moham
medans still swear by thoir beards. The
prophet Ezekiel, as onrly as 585 B. C.,
was dirocted to tako a barter’s razor
upon his bead nnd upon bis beard in
sign of tho ruin to come upon Israel.
The men woro set free, but were
ashamed to go to David with any of
their benrd gone. Ho found them, how
ever, nml sent them on a vacation to lot
their benrds grow out. An old Greek,
known among his friends as Zoilius,
who lived in 800 B. C., and was dropped
off a precipice for criticising Homer,
had a very long beard, and so solicitous
was ho that long hair on His head might
detract from tho strength of the beard
that ho kept his noddle clean shaven.
After Thomas More had taken leave of
Ids (laughter at tlio foot of the scaffold,
in 1535, his chief anxiety was that tho
headsman might injure his beard.
The finest beard on record belonged to
Gillaumo the priest, bishop of Clermont,
who founded the college for Jesuits at
Paris lato in the Eighteenth century.
This beard was long, wavy and soft as
silk. But bis beard was his downfall.
His brother bishops became jealous of
it, and decided that it must come off.
This was decreed at a secret council,
and tho next morning when the priest
entered tho chapel three men met him
with soap, hot water, a razor and shears
nnd laid hold of him. Ho broko away,
skedaddled and took refuge in a castle,
whero ho died of vexation.
The only exceptions where beards
have not, been considered as advanta
geous appurtenances were among the
Germans, the Egyptians and in tho early
colonial days among the Puritans. The
ancient German youth was not allowed
to shave until he had slain an enemy in
battle, and among the New England
Puritans long beards were sometimes
forcibly reaped, because the idea pre
vailed that pride lurked behind a vener
able beard. It was not until tho begin
ning of the present century that the
long beard went entirely out of fashion.
.Since then smooth faces have l>een on
the increase, and any person who will
take tho trouble to notice the men who
pass a given point for an hour on any of
the busy streets of Chicago will seo but
a very few long beards. It is not im
probable that .in another century, if the
beard is continually cropped, tlio long
beard will no longer grow and will be
come a thing of history and story books.

WHAT MAKES THE SWELL.
Ap-
Some Interesting Taints About Tn
pnrently Well Drenoil Men.
I was standing in the lobby of tbo
Adams House in Boston. A Now York
club man came in and stood talking
with somo one in tho lobby for several
minutes.
After ho had gone out tho man he had
been talking with came over to me—lie
was a friend of mine—and put this ques
tion: “How does Hicks Yardly dress so
Well? He 1ms only $5,000 a year, and
yet lie manages to dress himself so ns to
look much better garbed than any Bos
ton man 1 know. Strange, isn’t it?"
Not nt all.
Tho Boston man dressed on a cash ac
count nnd an eyo to color. Tho New
Yorker’s dross was not only an art, but
a science—an nrt because ho hud an eye
to harmony; a science because ho had a
comprehensive knowledge of means to
ends.
Any ono knows enough not to wear a
red cravat and a bottle green coat; but
how many men know how to have thoir
coate cut or their shoes shaped? They
leave it to their tailors, and must tailors
cut a coat Ihe same for a stripling of
twenty as they would for an alderman.
Hicks Yardly would liavo informed
the Boston man that his hat was too
broad brimmed, his collar whs too high
in front and too low in tho buck; that
his cravat was bluo and bis violets pur
ple—Oh, horror of horrors!—that his cut
away had ono too many buttons on it;
that his waistcoat hung down like an
inverted V, whereas it should bind about
him like a l>elt; that his trousers were
tight to tlio knee nnd loose from thero
down, whereas they should liavo been
the reverse; that bis shoos turned up at
tho toes—tlio solo of tlio English mado
shoe touches tho ground from tip to
heel; that his gloves were russet, whereas
they should hnvo been brick color; that
his hair was short on top aud long be
hind, whereas it should be long on top
and short behind; that his mustache
should not be waxed; that his topcoat
was loose in front and tight fitting in
tlio back, whereas tho roverso should bo
tho case; that his stick was a buckhorn,
in tho face of tho well known fact that
no truo man of the world would carry
nowadays any other than an all wood
cane.
Mr. Hicks Ynrdly would then pause
for want of breath and leave tho lobby,
while tho Bostonitc drow out his Brown
ing and turned to “Homo Thoughts
from Over tho Sea.”—Frederic Edward
McKay iu Kate Field's Washingtoi;

In the performance of my pleasant
duties as editor I nm called upon to
greet members of tho craft from every
part of the world whero angling is fol
lowed as a pastime. 1 have yet to meet
ono who failed to respond to my eager
search for facts relative to tho fish in
their homo wators with less eagerness
Hiid enthusiasm thnn evinced by myself.
I havo talked and queried with tho un
couth nnd unkempt and with the pol
ished nml cultivated anglers of tho
brooks and tbo—books, and I liavo found
them, each nnd all, to be possessed of
valuable information as to the byways
if not tho highways of tho art recrea
tive.
1 havo been taught by tlie clodhopper
of the streams; 1 havo gained invalu
able points from tho bushwhacking boy
who snatches ’em out; tlio cowboy fisher
of the gulch holes, the “wnm" baiters
of tlie Mississippi sluices, tlio Canadian
half breeds of tbe Lnurentian streams
and the malaria saturated dweller “away
down on tho Suwanne river" have all
dropped angling pearls along my path
way, and last, not least, havo I gathered
consolation and enthusiasm from an in
genuous remark mado liy nil old but il
literate angling rodster friend when ho
was first told of Sam Johnson’s slur.
“Well," said he, ‘‘toll old Johnson for
mo that, rather thnn not go n-fishing ut
all, I’m willing to bo tho worm.”

rifice or enthusiasm?—American Angler.
A Miser's liospilulity.
Sir Harvey Elwes, of Stoke, in Suffolk,
next to hoarding money, found his prin
cipal pleasure in netting partridges. He
and his household, consisting of one man
and two maids, lived upon these. In cold
or wet weather Sir Harvey would walk
up and down his hall to save fire. His
clothes cost him nothing, for ho ran
sacked old chests and wardrobes and
woro those of his ancestors. When ho
died the only tear shed was by his serv
ant, to whom he left tho farm—value,
fifty pounds per annum.
Tho whole of his property was left to
his uophow, John Mnggott, who thus in
herited real and personal cstato worth
£250,000, on condition that ho should as
sume tho name and arms of Elwos. Of
this man, who is better known as John
Elwes, tho miser, tho following story is
told: His nephew, Colonel Timms, vis
ited him nt Marchnm, nnd after retiring
to rest found himself wot through. Find
ing that tho rain was dripping through
tho ceiling, lie moved the bed. Ho had
not lain long before tlio samo inconven
ience again occurred. Again he rose and
again tlie rain came down. After push
ing the bed quite around tho room, ho
found a cornor whero tlio ceiling was
better secured and slept until morning.
When ho met his uncle at breakfast ho
told him v oat had happened. “Aye,
aye,” said Mr. Elwes; "1 don't mind it
myself, but to those who do, that’s a nice
corner in the rain.”—Cassell's Journal.
Warren's Idea of Dying.
Warren, aged four years, had formed
ids ideas of.ungolH and thoir forms from
tlio study of certain steel engravings,
and told Ids mother if she scolded him
again he would “die and go right to
heaven.” Being told that that was
easier said than done, and asked how he
would got thero, he answered without
hesitation: "Oh, I would pile up all the
chairs aud tables and boxes nnd ladders
as far as they would, go, and then 1
’spect an angel would come down and
det me. And anyway I’d a good deal
rather go that way than have things
screwed into me!”—Now York Tribune.
SHE (RECOILED, BUT DIDN’T KICK.
Heroic Conduct of a Tull, Grnccful Girl
ut tlio Supreme Tout of l.nve.
Two tall, graceful girls strolled slow
ly nlong tbo beach earnestly conversing.
They were conspicuous in tho throng,
nnd many nn admiring glance was
turned toward thorn ns they sauntered
to nnd fro. A cloudless sky was reflect
ed in cnlm waters bolow, whilo scarcely
a breath of air was stirring.
Tho girl in tho pure white blazer was
doing most of the talking.
“It is all very well,” sho was saying,
“to insist that you would die for the
man you love, but tho sacrifico is quite
anolher thing."
Tho girl with tho blue yachting enp
shrugged her shoulders,
“You speak,” sho observed, “liko ono
who bad mado tbo sacrifice.”
“I liavo the right so to speak.”
Affecting recollections poured tumul
tuously over tho soul of the girl in tho
white blazer. Her lips trembled and
the superb eyes bent upon tlie sand of
tlio beach glistened witli the dew of
gathering tears.
Tho girl in the bluo cap smiled huuglit
«y.
“Indeed,” sho snrenslicnlly retorted
“how very interesting! And how doe
it feel to actually die for tho man you
love?"
Reproachfully tho girl in tho whit'
blazer directed her gaze upon tlio girl
with the blue yachting cap.
"You shall not mako light of it."
“Forgive mo.”
For n timo they walked in silence
Both were deeply affected, tlie one filled
with remembrances of tlio past; the
other her resentment gone, with wo
manly sympathy,
“Toll mo about it, Ethel.”
The girl in the blue yatebing cap was
tenderly persuasive.
“It was worse than dying for him
Clara."
With a quick movement tlie tears were
dashed from the superb eyes, und the
girl with the white blazer facod her
companion.
“It was nt Enstor, Clara. Yon re
mem her tho dear, bright fellow I was
engaged to then. Ono evening but a
short while before lie said he did not
believe I bore him tho deep love 1 should
I challenged him to name a sacrifice 1
would not make for his sake. With un
insight into feminine character whicl
was Mepbistopheliau in its subtlety, ho
dared me to do that which causes ever
woman's heart to recoil with horror.
But I did it.”
They had paused in thoir walk, and
were looking at each other fixedly,
“Ethel!”
“Yes, Clara, I did it. I went to church
that Easter morning, sat in the very
front seat, and I never looked around
during tho service.”
Tho girl in tho blue yachting caj
drow a deep, tremulous breath.
"Ethel!”
“Yes, Clara.”
“You are a sublime heroine. Can yon
forget my hasty words?”
"I can, Clara.”
And tlio little wavelets lapped .the
snowy beach with drowsy sound, whilo
all the throng gazed in admiration at
tho graceful girls.—Detroit Tribuno,
Dill Ilia Ancient Jaws Tiny llnllV
Herod tlio Great was tho first Jowish
king who imported into bis realm
Roman modes of “society life.” His
theaters and arenas, after the Roman
style, were not to tlie national taste in
amusements, despite tho fact that the
former were, so to say, silently patron
ized by tho Talmud in the saying, "Let
ns bo grateful to the Romans for theii
establishment of theaters, as they keep
the public from mischief, which Satan
finds for idlo folks.” The aTenns wore
not patronized on account of tho in
human performances given there. The
favorito Jewish national game at that
timo was tlw kadur, or ball.
Whether it was played ns a sort of
lawn tennis or as national baseball is
not recorded. That tho gamo was not
allowed by somo rabbis to be played on
the Sabbath is a proof that the gamo re
quired skill and labor. That tho game
was patronized by the Talmud we infer
from its not being included among those
against which tho Talmud opened a
crusado, condemning them us “gambling
games.”—Boston Transcript.
Tlie Thunderer's Suicide Day.
A young Philadelphian, who has been
employed on the staff of more than one
newspaper in this city, went abroad and
secured a position ns reporter for the
London Times. When ho was deemed
sufficiently broken in ho was sent out
ono evening to write up tho story of u
rich and beautiful girl who had taken
chloroform bocauso her lover failed to
appear at tho altar when due.
The young Philadelphian raced nim
bly about, gathering various particu
lars nnd hurried hack to tho office in s
cab, after getting bis copy into 8liape.
Not far from midnight ho sped up the
stairs to tlie local room and turned in
his copy with apologies for bis unavoid
able lateness.
“It doesn’t matter,” said one of the
editors calmly; “this is Monday, you
know, and wo print suicides only on
Saturdays.”—Philadelphia Press.
Uncousclous Comment.
Mr. C. was particularly deliberate in
the matter of invoking the divine bless
ing upon tho family meals, und when
the repast was unusually good this was
a trying ordeal to the tlireo young sons.
On one occasion there were strangers—
and chicken—at dinner, and this func
tion was longer than over. At its con
clusion the three-year-old son drow a
long breath, and fervently but audibly
remarked, “That’s a good job done.”—

All Klcetrlonl Detective.
A clever pieco of detective work,
which must appeal with sad and crush
ing suggestiveness to the crook frater
nity, has been done in Toledo. A barber
for somo timo missed cigars from the
case in his shop. At first only a few
cigars wore taken, but presently tho
thieves became bolder and took whole
boxes. A watch was set nnd detectives
wero employed, but all in vuin. At last
tlio barber struck on the idea of having
an automatic deteeter fixed in the shop,
and ho called in an electrician. A cam
era was arranged so as to cover tho cigar
case, und a flashlight apparatus nnd the
camera were connected by wires with
tho sliding door of tho cigar case, so
that when the door was opened tho wires
would bo brought together. Tho circuit
thus formed would prodneo n flash and
Beouro instantaneously n picture of tho
thieves. For twelve days the cigars
were unmolested, but on tlie morning of
tho unlucky thirteenth tho thieves were
prompted to try their hand again.
Tho plate was tnken from the camera
and developed, nnd on it was seen n
unique and interesting picture, contain
ing the likenesses of two juveniles who
were in the net of stealing the cigars.
Every detail iu tho shop wns distinctly
seen, tho clock showing tho time at

How far bnck do tho jiedigrees run
and what is tlio origin of the Arabian
horse? Those questions it is impossible
to answer definitely. Tho Bedouins
themselves believe that Allah created
the equine genus on their soil. “The
root or spring of the horse is,” they say.
“in tho land of tho Arab.” This pious
belief is shared by a few genorous souls
in England and America, a small but
devoted band, who gallantly dofoud tho
cause of tho Arabian horse against his
only rival, the modem English thorough
bred. Chief among these faithful wus
the late Major R. D. Upton, who visited
the desert himself and who has recorded
his experience nnd his views.
Major Upton concluded that the horse
wns found in Arabia "not Inter than
ubout 100 years after tho deluge, if in
deed ho did not find his way there im
mediately after tlio exodus from the urk.
which is by no means improbable," and
this probability tho author then proceeds
seriously to consider, According to Ma
jor Upton and a few kindred spirits all
other breeds are mongrels, nnd the only
way to proeuro horseflesh in its best and
purest form is to go back to the fountain
head—to tho horse of the desert.—Atlan
tic Monthly.

A young dentist who opened an office
on Jefferson avenue finds a good many
discouragements. Ilia first patient was
a thin young man who woro no waist
coat, nnd triced up his person with a
pink and yellow belt.
Thero was a profitable hour or two in
tho chair, during which the young den
tist told his funniest stories as he filed
und chiseled aud buzzed. At length, in
stead of filling up the biggest cavities
with gold nnd charging ten dollars
apiece, the conscientious bogiuner said:
"Shall I put in u soft filling, sir?"
“I board,” replied the exhausted oc
cupant of tho chair briefly.
“Beg.pardon,” suid tho dentist doubt
fully. “1 nskod you ubont a soft filling,’
"Thunder and lightning,” shouted the
patient, sitting up in tho chair and pull
ing his mouth into shape; “1 toll you 1
live iu a boarding house, nnd if you’ve
got any ground glass, amalgum or rolled
steel caps use ’em. Soft filling, you
crazy coot; do I,look like u suicide?”—

The passion flower derives its name
from an idea that all the instruments of
Christ’s passion are represented—viz.,
the five wounds, the' column or pillar of
scourging, besides the three nails, tlie

sion flowers are natives of tho hottest

But it was built and completed seven
years before the expiration of the time
fixed by congress.
