The Masculine Wig.
Civilization has to thaDk the French
revolution and the subsequent wars
for masculine emancipation from the
wig. It was partly the scarcity ot
flour and the war tax on hair powder
that banished the powdered wig, but
partly also the leveling influence of
Jacobinism. “I do not know the pres¬
ent generation by sight." wrote Wal¬
pole in 1791, complaining that the
young men “in their dirty shirts and
shaggy hair have leveled nobility as
much as the nobility in France have.”
Unfair.
Hazel, aged seven, while feeding the
cat at the dinner table was reproved
by her father, who told her that the
cat must wait until later, whereupon
the small girl wept and said:
“I think it is a shame just because
she is a poor dumb animal to treat her
like a hired girl.’’—Harper’s Magazine.
But D4d She?
“My head aches awfully,” she sigh¬
ed. “If you weren’t here I’d take my
hair off and rest it”
“What?” he cried.
“I mean down," she corrected— New
York Press.
A Curious Relic.
A curious relic of Louis XVII. is the
“game of dominos” made of pieces of
the Bastille which were given to the
dauphin before he and his parents left
Versailles forever. It is said that
when the box containing it was
brought in the queen exclaimed to her
bedchamber woman. Mme. Campan.
“What a sinister plaything to give >,
child!” The sinister plaything is with
other revolutionary objects preserved
in Paris.
Visual Proof.
She—Mr. Sweetly has such polish
and such finish! Haven’t you observed
them? He (savagely)—No. I haven’t,
moro’s the pity! I’d like to see his
finish.—New York Press.
Hardness and Coldness.
Ethel—Jack really won Maud by
hardness and coldness. Elsie—What
do you mean? Ethel—Diamonds and
ice cream.—Boston Transcript
Student of Shakespeare.
The office boy sat In the corner busl
ly engaged in reading a book. Strang*
to say, it was not “The Adventures of
Bunko Jim.” “Daisy Dean, the Demon
Detective.” nor even a thrilling narra¬
tive of more or less correct life on the
plains. He was reading Shakespeare.
An expression of peace and joy was
on his face that caused those who
knew him to wonder if he had at last
experienced a change of heart. His
eyes sparkled, and his whole expres¬
sion was one of happiness. Finally h*
turned to a worker at another desk.
“Say, Jim," he said, “I’ve got a ques¬
tion for you. Did you ever read Shak»
•peare ?”
“Yep,” was the reply.
"And d’yer know what he talks
about?”
“Yep.”
"Den maybe you can help me."
“What is it?”
“Well, I want to know which was d*
man, Romeo or Juliet?”—Youth’s Com
didIoii
Maude—How old is Grace? May—
At least twenty-five. Maude-How do
you know? May— I heard her say that
no ftrl ought to marry before she was
