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. —Chicago Inter Ocean. 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; IIo Liked l'lnliing. 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.” Could self abnegation go further in sac 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.”— New York Tribune. AIwuya Illglit There.

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 which the youngsters' little operations woro interfered with, nnd tho mixture of cunning and caution on tho faco of tho boy who wns evidently taking the activo part in securing tho booty was intensely amusing. The boys wore ut onco recognized, wero arrested, tried and sent to a reformatory, and the judge commended from tho bench tho ingenu ity of tho means of detection employed. —New York Telegram.

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. Needed (lie Hardest. 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.
