BEARDS AND BARE FACES,
Shaving Was at One Tims Considered
Almost a Crime.
We need not go so far Imek us the
eighteenth century to rind ICnirllsliuieii
who held that shaving was "ugen Coil
and nature." In the nineteenth. Jiiiiiei
Ward. It A., in a "Iiefense of tin
Heard." set forth eighteen reasons foi
retaining it, mainly Scriptural, re-en
forced by artistic considerations
"What would ii Jupiter lie without
board?" As late as 18(10 Thelogos pub
lished a treatise entitled "Shaving A
ISreach of the Sabbath and a Hindrance
to the Spread of the Gosiel." One of
his points was that "Providence had
manifestly designed the beard us a pro
tection for the throat and chest" But
what about the woman's throat?
Nowhere wns there more prejudice
centuries ago against lieurds than at
the Inns of court. The "black books"
of the Inns tell us how olTewlers were
tlned for wearing beards, and some
times were even i-oinpulsorlly shaved
try order of court. And the prejudice
tjiainst the bearded barrister still
lingers Vke Chancellor Hacon carried
bis dVP;" to bearded or inustaelied
banisters so far that he always refus
ed to bear them. Even now there lire
very few leading counsel wltb beards,

late Juilah Philip Benjamin. Q. C

spells and my lungs were so sore and
inflamed I began to be seriously
alarmed. A friend recommended
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, say

bought a bottle and it relieved my
cough the first night, and in a week
I was rid of- the cold and soreness of

Aa a Rule, It Is Caused by Nervous or
Digestive Trouble.
It Is nirely. if ever, that palpitation
Is due to niiy disease or weakness of
tlie lien it It Is almost Invariably the
result of um'voiis or digestive trouble.
The heat ' the heart arises within It
self. There are nerves hi the muscles
of the heart, mid they regulate Its
heating, although the speed or rate of
the heating Is not of their choosing.
If they nere not held tu cheek they
would set a rate about double that
which is actually maintained.
The heart is supplied from the hrnin
with two pairs of regulating nerves.
One pair, the cardio-motor nerves, act
only to spur up the heart to quicker
action. They are usually inactive,
wait inn the occasion for applying tbe
spur. The other pair, the eardlo-lnhlb-Itury
nerves, are always In action.
It bus been said that the heart runs
In a pair of tightly held reins, and the
simile Is true, for these nerves check
the speed, r-'ear, worry, disorder of
the stomach or nervous system, cause
these ciirdio-inhlbltory nerves to relax;
then the heart begins to race.
There Is tiothiin; the matter with the
heart Itself, and no one need lie alarm
ed about that organ Just because It
beats too rapidly. Its palpitation is
due to a psychological or a physical
cause, something that has caused the
relaxation of the reins and allowed tbe
cardio-motor nerves to apply the spur.

TWO EA.LY BIRDS.
One of Thorn. Though. Was a Safe Lap
Ahead of the Other.
King lienrge and tlie Duchess of
I'll'e are both keen anglers, and they
have long been rivals at the sport.
due autumn when the court was at
Balmoral both had llshed patiently for
senile days in a pool of the river Dee,
trying to i-att h a particularly big salm
on that was reported to he lurking
there IC:u h was anxious to beat the
t her. so very early one morning King
li orge hurried off toward the pool tu
t!i. hope of catching the salmon before
'lis nie e was up
To his surprise he found the princess
sho!!'ng beside tlie river, and she I in
mediately lieuan In cross examine Dim
is to what be was lining there so early
with his llshlng t.n kle In the end the
;;ing had to adnill rather shamefaced
ly that he had intended to steal a
march on her anil try to catch the elu
lve salmon before she was up
The princess read htm a very severe
lecture on what she called his mi
sportsmanlike behavior and extracted
from him au adiiils'.uii t'.i.'.t he was
sorry. Then, with a smile of triumph,
she showed him her own fishing tackle
and the big salmon lying behind a rock
on tlie bank. She had been up just a
little before her uncle, had raught the
salmon and had hidden It when she
w him coming. Loudon Tit-Bits.
Half Wild Horsea That Trap Fish and
Then Eat Them.
Along Albemarle sound, on the North
Carolina coast, there Is mile after mile
of low, sandy shore, where nothing
grows except a course grass, a few
salt water weeds and wild parsley.
On these banks lives u strange breed
of half wild horses, known as "banker
ponies." These creatures are general
ly about twice tbe size of Shetland
ponies.
Every year the herd owners drive the
"bankers" into pens, brand tbe foals
with the proper mark und cutcb some
of tbe older animals to sell to the
dealers. North Carolinians say that
the beasts must be starved Into eating
grain, bay or grass, for tuey have al
ways lived ou the rank salt marsh
grass of the marshes and on tish. '
They catch the Hsb for themselves nt
low tide. With their hoofs they dig
deep boles in tbe sand below high
water mark. When the tide falls they
greedily devour the Bsb that are
stranded in these boles. Often tbey
fight briskly over an especially tempt
ing morsel.
In captivity these strange horses are
Intelligent, but seldom are even In
temper. Once tamed, they make excel
lent draft animals, for they have a
strength that is disproportionate to
their size. Koals that are bred from
bankers In captivity make valuable
animals strong, healthy. Intelligent
and far less vicious than their parents.

QUEER TYPE OF INDIAN.
A Mexican Tribe With Fair Skins, Blue
Eyes and Light Hair.
Does the word Indian convey to you
the picture of a person with black hair,
black eyes and dark skin? Then change
your opinion at once.
In Mexico there are many Indians
who possess nune of the. aforemen
tioned characteristics that are so often
associated with tbe Indian. The Mex
ican Indians that are not dark tiro
called the Mayas. They have fair
skins, blue eyes and light bair. The
only Indian characteristics that they
possess are their high cbeek bones,
their wide mouth, slanting forehead
and straight, Indian-like bair and
shape of nose.
The Mayas Inhabit tbe Sierra Madre
mountains in the lower part of Sonora.
They differ in many ways from all
other tribes of ludinns. They are sup
posed to be the descendants of tbe j
crew and passengers of a Swedish ves
sel wrecked on the Mexican coast long
before tbe birth of Columbus.
Although quite primitive, their mo
rality Is high. They cultivate some
corn and garden truck In the valleys
and are beginning to raise many limes
for export. The men nre large and
well formed, and some of the women'
are quite handsome. They all retain
some traces of their Swedish ancestry
and some are really fair haired and
fair skluued. All are fairer than tbe
average Indian. Buffalo Express,
Wasted Mustard.
It Is stated that a member of a Grin
of famous mustard manufacturers once
remarked that it was not the mustard
used, but the quantity that is wasted,
which makes their trade a successful
business. Usually more of this condi
ment is mixed than will be wanted
and, as it soon turns discolored, dries
and loses Its pungency, tbe mustard is
thrown away. This waste may to a
great extent be saved if care is taken
to gaugo more accurately than is com
mon the quantity of mustard likely to
be wanted for a meal. To prevent un
sightly discoloration if kept longer, mix
wltb milk. It Is always disagreeable to
see a mustard pot clogged round tbe
mouth with stale mustard. New York

years ago he read an advertisement
