NOT A BEARD IN TOWN.
A Specimen of the Humor Imlnlgeri by
Gentlemen in a Southern Town.
A stranger visiting Svlvania right now
would he amusingly impressed witli the
similarity in appearance of all its male
inhabitants, and lie would have been
much more amused had he witnessed
the process by means of which they all
reached this state of common brother
hood.
It was so dull the first part of the
week that even the honorable and time
honored “Byi vania (fas company" be
gan to show signs of falling into, innocu
ous disuse and ceased to furnish its mem
bora with the usual enlivening elixir of
mirth. Of course something had to be
done; so a few of the members decided
that they would shave up clean anil
have their heads clipped. Our barber.
Mr. 11. R. Kemp, did the work up in
rare and rapid style, and the boys were
so well pleased with their new selves
that they magnanimously resolved to
“do" the town up likewise; so out they
started <jn a “clipping" expedition.
The first victim who walked into the
hands of the spoilers was a young man
with curly hair and quite a long beard,
of which he was very proud. He “kick
ed” and swore, but it was no use. lie
was escorted up stairs, and in a few min
utes, by virtue of his white bead and
shining face, was a member of the Mys
tic Circle of the Slick. Then the fun
Commenced in real earnest. No one was
spared.
Young men, old men and boys, just as
they happened to couie along, were gath
ered into the fold. Some submitted
meekly to the inevitable; some pleaded
piteously or threatened prosecution,
aotue protested and struggled violently;
but the same fate awaited them all alike
—each came out with a slick face and a
hairless head. When the “subject" be
came too obstreperous one of the com
mittee took the clippers and mowed a
furrow down the center of his bead.
This always had a very quieting effect,
and the operation was then performed
without any further trouble. One of our
lawyers escaped several times by fast
running, but finally came out and grace
fully surrendered; and he, too, now
wears a white head. Another lawyer
outran an official of the county, and
managed to save his scalp for a while.
The only man in the town who did not
escape—if escape it can be called —was a
young clerk who, when the canvassing
committee was out on the war path,
slipped upstairs and was quickly clipped,
thus taking fate by the forelock, as it
were. Everybody is alike down here
now, and it is a rare sight to see a citi
zen with hair on bis head. One man in
this unique condition came in town yes
terday, and, from the way he was stared
at and followed around, one would have
thought he was John L. Sullivan him
self. Our barber was into the clique and
did all the work for nothing. Of course
he will not do anything more in the hair
cutting line for several months to come,
but probably he didn’t think of that, or
was willing to submit to the sacrifice for
the fun.— Sylvania (Ga.) Cor. Atlanta

Boycotting Paris Dressmakers.
Emperor William's sister has the poor
est trousseau of all the royalties. The
emperor is not exaggeratively fond of any
of his 6isters, and is besides perfectly in
capable of seeing why bo should spend
his money on furbelows for a woman.
Therefore he has killed two birds with
cue stone, and saved his money and en
hanced his reputation lor patriotism by
obliging her to buy everything in Berlin.
The German dressmakers are the cheap
est and the worst any where in Europe,
and no fashionable German ever gets her
clothes anywhere save in Paris. The
emperor hates this custom and hopes to
break it up by forbidding iiis sister to
follow it. but this wise young woman,
having submitted with all apparent
meekness to her brother's orders, has got
around the difficulty by buying as few
things as she can possibly get on with in
Berlin anil spending all the rest of her
money in laces, in which she has invest
ed more than half of the money set aside
for her trousseau; then as soon as she is
married and can do as she pleases she
will go to Paris and get ail the clothes
she wants. —New York World.
The Making <.f Postage Stamps.
Among those who this year bid for the
contract to manufacture postage stamps
for the government was Charles F. Steel,
of this city, and it was found that Mr.
Steel’s figures were lower than other
competitors. The award has not yet
been made, but there is little doubt that
Mr. Steel will secure the contract and
thus bring to this city an industry that
for twenty-eight years lias been in New
York. Mr. Steel has been identified with
the manufacture of postage stamps for
thirty years. He was with Toppau, Car
penter & Cos., who made the stamps in
this city prior to 1861. In that year the
National Bank Note company secured
the contract and the work went to New
York city, and Mr. Steel continued in its
employ. He is the originator of the
present system of keeping the stamp ac
counts and the check on the production.
In this city he will employ 200 hands, a
large number of whom will be females.
The annual output will be about 140,000,-
000 sheets. —Philadelphia Telegraph.
Germany’s Arctie Explorers.
Another German Arctic expedition
has gone out, this time from Bremen, in
charge of Drs. Walter and Kukethenthal.
The explorers .were last heard of from
the southwest coasts of Spitzbergen.
where they had encountered many gales.
On the west coast, in Magdalen bay, lat
itude 79.35 north, they met an English
sportsman, Mr. Pike, who had wintered
in Spitzbergen. He reported that- the
winter had been mild, but sport was not
very good. Encouraged by Dr. Nansen's
success, the Danes will send an expedi
tion next year to the east coast of Green
land. Seven picked men, under an offi
cer of the Danish navy, equipped for
two and a half years if needed, will go
out in a whaler and explore the coast be*
tween latitude 66 and 73 north. London

Beauty
Is desired and admired by all. Among
the .things which may best be done to
/rqs* enhance personal
beauty is the daily
C use of Ayer’s Hair
Vigor. No matter
what the color of
the hair, this prepa
ration gives it a lus
tre and pliancy that
adds greatly to its
Mris!!iCl c^arm> Should the
bair be thin, harsh,
/vTi? dry, or turning gray,
Ayer’s Hair Vigor
w ffi restore the
color, bring out a
new growth, and
render the old soft and shiny. For
keeping the scalp clean, cool, and
healthy, there is no better preparation
in the market.
“ I am free to confess that a trial of
Ayer’s Hair Vigor lias convinced me
that it is a genuine article. Its use has
not only caused the hair of my wife and
daughter to be _ * ~
Abundant and Glossy,
but it has given my rather stunted mus
tache a respectable length and appear
ance.”—lt. Britton, Oakland, Ohio.
“My hair was coming out (without
any assistance from my wife, either).
I tried Ayer’s Hair Vigor, using only
one bottle, and I now have as fine a
head of hair as any one could wish for.”
—lt. T. Schmittou, Dickson, Tenn.
“ I have used Ayer's Ilair Vigor in my
family for a number of years, and re
gard it as the best hair preparation I
know of. It keeps the scalp clean, the
hair soft and lively, and preserves the
original color. My wife has used it for
a long time with most satisfactory re
sults.”— Benjamin M. Johnson, M. D.,
Thomas Hill, Mo.
" My hair was becoming harsh and dry,
hut after using half a bottle of Ayer’s
Hair Vigor it grew black and glossy. I
cannot express the joy and gratitude I
feel.”—Mabel C. Hardy, Delavan, 111. *
