Thirty years age a beard was an exception, and thirty-five yearn have scarcely elapsed since the wearer of a beard was either an object of rldiculu or suspicion.

Barbers are first mentioned In English history about the year 1G29, daring the reign of Charles I,, when a number of Puritans were ordered te be punished by having their "beards shaven from their faces with sharp knives, and the hair te be cropped close te their heads therewith, in addition te having their ears cut oft and tongues bored with a red het Iren, and te be thereafter steed in the pillory." A SUBJECT OF 1UDICCLE. About 1833 beards and mustaches began te make their appearance in this country en the streets of the cities, and were everywhere the subject of ridicule, se much se that few were vain enough te cultivate them'. la 1B88 the fad for wear ing hair en the face was given a great thrust forward by a plctnre of Count D'Orsay, published in Prater's Magazine, illustrating hew copiously a chin could be cushioned, and which, it was conceded, reached the climax of hair arrangement in that Quarter. Still for a number of years later long beards were considered dlsirraceful; as masks behind which criminals and oat eat laws sought te hide their Identity. As late as 1848 the writer remembers te have seen a Jew with long hair and beard "bated" en Beaver street, in this city, by a crowd of boys, who chased him with sticks and stones through the streets and alleys of what was then one of the most attractive portions of New Yerk, and for no ether reason than the great mass of hair which concealed his features. And en this occasion the sedate business men of that part of the city gathered at their doers and cheered the boys with their ex pressions of approval. One or two Judges about that time be gan te make their appearance en the bench with whiskers. This the pnhlie took as an offense, and the papers seri ously discussed It as a matter of prime importance. "Whiskers," says The Democratic Review, "are bad enough at the bar, and even then they arc pestilent accompaniment for counsel. There is no gentlemanly managing a Jury with them. Men ere net open te reason or pathos that might Issue from any part of a face thus cultivated. They continually, and for geed reason, suspect theso who talk te them in a mask. But te carry whiskers up te the tribunal Is unbecoming the Judge as it Is unfortunate for the wool sack. What would men have us thlnkT De they mean te enforce decisions by the ferocity of their countenances? Te make us fear instead of honor them? Or would they, wherever they may be, have us understand that their strength, like his of old. lies in their hair?" Nene of the fathers of the republic ever were a beard. The appendage of hair is net te be found en the face of any of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and It was unknown te all the officers of the revolutionary army. These men of great minds, iron will and strong purpose steed forth In the bread light of day with faces se clean that their every thought might be read. THE CROFTED SIDE WUIBKEH. The war of 1812 brought no minerals te the front with beards, but all the com manders of the navy appear te have culti vated the "mutton leg," as It was ence called the side whisker reaching an inch or se below the ear, but alwajs kept i repped. This Is the whiskers we find en the pictures of Perry, Balnbridge, Deca tur, Lnwrence and ethers, and is the plant which was afterwards built ent and, in connection with the mustache, became the "Burnslde." All the principal officers of the Mexican war were also beardless, although the mustache and beard began about that time creep into the army. Of the presidents of the United States Jehn (J. Adams and Zacbary Tayler bad a ruere bunch of hair, extending; the length of the ear. Martin Van Buren haa mere of the "mutton leg," which curled forward, and being of a sandy color, itave that peculiar expression te his face which caused him te be nick named "The Bed Fex of Klnderhoek" or "Feay" Van Buren. All the ether presi dents had faces shaven of every pnxtlcle of hair, and up te 1861 no man )iad oc cupied a position of promlnence In thn national government who were a beard en his chin or a mustache. Jehn C. Fre mont, the first candidate of the Republi can party for the presidency, also culti vated his entire cheek and chin space for hair, and Abraham Lincoln, his successor en the ticket four years later, and the first Republican president, Alse were a full beard. The cabinet which Lincoln assembled was composed largely of bearded men. The despised abolition sentiment had ob tained the ascendency, and men by the thousands nhe ten years before would rather have been caught burning a house than raising a beard, threw away their razors and turned their faces out te nature for coverings. The officers in the field of both armies let the beard grew or cu-? t in shapes te suit their particular fancy or appearance, until a smooth faced man be. came almost as rare as a hairy one hed been a few months previous Presidents Grant, Ilayes and Garfield all appeared in full beards, and we all re member the luxurious Burnsldcsef Chester A.

A short tune age Dr. Frank. tL Oetchell, Philadelphia, went en a gunning expedi tion te North Carolina. His quest of game led him Inte tha wild country back of Salisbury, whkh is inhabited, for the most part, by a mlserable race of beings, with only just enough energy te eke out a wretched existence. These' creature are nearly all veritable living skeletons, and, with few exceptions, are addicted te the habit of clay eating. While sheeting wild turkeys and ether game in this wild region. Dr. Oetchell made aa incidental study of this peculiar habit erlee among the inhabits!. It Is a mountainous country, and in the spring little rivulets start ent from the raps of snow en the mountain, ana as tne days grew warmer, the little rivulets be bo be ceme torrents, 'and great washouts are made along the mountain aide. The soil is of a heavy, clayey nature, but there are strata of clay that is heavier than tha rest, and when the water rushes down this clay is formed into little peHeta and rolls and accumulates in heaps In the val ley. These little pellets and rolls are what the clay eaters devour with as much avidity aa a toper swallows a glass of whisky. "Among the peer people of this seC lien," said Dr. Oetchell, "the habit of eating clay Is almost universal. Even little toddlers are confirmed in the habit, and the appetite increases with time. While investigating the matter, I entered a cabin occupied by one of these peer families, and saw a little chap tied by tha ankle te the leg of a table, en which was placed a big dish of bread and meat and potatoes within easy reach. The child was kicking and crying, and I asked his mother why she had tied him up. She replied that she wanted him te eat some feed before he went out te the clay, and he refused te de se. The woman con fessed that sbe ate the clav herself, hut explained that the child's health demanded that It eat some substantial feed before eating any earth. Almest every one I met fn this section was addicted te this habit. They were all very thin, but thelr flesh seemed te be pulled out.- This was particularly noticeable about the eyes, which had a sort of reddish hue. "All of the clay eaters were excessively lazy and Indolent, and all of these condi tions combined led me te the conclusion that there must be some sedative or stim ulating qualities, or both, In the clay, and I determined te find out whether there was nr tint. I conseenantlv breuciit a let of the clay home with me, and Professer Tiernan and myself made an analysis of the stuff, and discovered that instead of clay eaters the inhabitants of central North Carolina should mere properly be called arsenie eaters. All of this clay contains arsenic, but exactly in what pro portion we have net yet discovered. Arsenie eating is common In many parts of the world, and Is practiced te a greater or less extent throughout the world. It acts as a sedative and also as a stimulant. The mountaineers of Styrla. Austria, are habitual arsenie eaters. They give as their reason for eating It that they are better able te climb the mountains after eating the poison, and their explanation la a perfectly reasonable one, as arsenie acts as a sedative ,te the heart's . action. It haf been shown that arsenie or arsen ical fume are a sure cure for Intermit tent fever. Tbe Inhabitants of a section of Cornwall, England, at one time suf fered with this type of fever, but when the copper works were established there the fever disappeared. This was ac counted for by the arsenical fumes cre ated In the treatment of copper. As te whether arsenie eating shortens life I am net prepared te say, but I Intend Investi gating the matter thoroughly." The Clay Worker. An Kye the Faithful. The life of a brake-man en the elevated reads is an exemplification of the persis tent record that should be paid te what many consider, little things if one has am bition te rise in llfe. It Is noticed that men who were brakemen ten years age are still employed as such, and that men who started ten years age are new con cen ducters, with a pleasant and dignified responsibility and higher pay te their credit. The new men rose by persistently paying attention te their duties, the chief one being te call out all stations correctly and distinctly. Of course this has te be done hundreds of times each day, but the advanced ones have net tired. t is a wrong supposition te think that tnese men are apparently . lest among the hundreds of thousands who ride en the read. The eyes of the management are constantly en them. The slovenly and Inattentive ones grumble at the ad vancement of new men, seemingly un aware of tbe cause. They continue the haphazard way of doing things, and see the persistently attentive ones rise, and are apparently unaware that they are the arbiters of their own fate. New Yerk Sun.

The coco of Guatemala is much finer variety and sells at $35 per carga, right her In the country, hut the amount raised is net sufficient for home consumption, and but little of it finds its way into the outalde world. The plant haa se many natural enemies that many finqneres at deterred from at tempting its cultivation. Th tree Is planted from the seeds, which are no sooner pnt In the ground than large ant searches for them and ruins many; when the tree appears and ia about three feet tall, deer, attracted by the richness of the leaf, risk their lives for feed of it; when these dangers are past and the fruit ap pears, squirrels come v te eat it in large numbers and any decent sized cacaetal must haye two huntsmen te kill squirrels. Thus It may be seen that chocolate is universal favorite. During this time the ground must be as well weeded and cleaned as Chinaman's Mtehen garden. And in addition te this each coco tree requires madre or mother, which is shade tree planted for its own particular ns. , With such great car necessary, it is net strange that many prefer cotTce planting.

Seme cacaetal near the frontier of San Salvader, are se old that the eldest Indians in the vicinity testify that they were flourishing plantations when they were children, and the trees bear as well today aa ever, The coffee' estates near San Tellp were nearly all planted at th same time, every available space was utilized, consequently they all failed at the same time, and San Felipe, from being thriving, busy town, became but a place te live in, and I failed te see Its attractions even in that respect. When the coffee trees failed many flnquoret planted sugar cane. This requlres, from planting te maturity, only nine months, but Is net se profitable aa coffee. The cocoa fruit as it appears en the tree is pear shaped green mass about nine inches long, and In circumferenee net' se large as an average pineapple. The inside of this pulpy sheath Is divided Inte cells, about twenty each containing ene cocoa berry. Children and women are employed te prepare it for market, and It Is net a sight which would indue one te be anxious te drink the cocoa he has seen cleaned. Each berry Is surrounded in Its cell by sweet, pasty brown and greasy substance which the Indians like, se each berry gees te an Indian's mouth, where tbe sweet coating is sucked off and chewed; but this In reality does net af fect the berry, because under the brown paste there is a parchmcntllke shell which is Impervious te the Indian's saliva, and comes off only In the roasting, leaving the inside meat pure. BOMETBIKO ABOUT BAD IKDIAKB. A marked difference Is apparent between the true Indian of the-Indian town and the ene 'who has had much contact with whites and ladines. The former is always respectful and polite and be is natural gentleman. He never approaches you te ipeak without removing his hat and bow ing low, and he never retires without ex cusing himself until he may return. The latter is usually disrespectful and of an insolent disposition eager te take every undue advantage of his master's leniency and has te be taught by the generous nse of a club. The ordinary feelings of the human heart are unknown te him. Yeu can govern him, and govern him well, by imply causing him te fear you. The art of lying Is unknown lb the United States when compared with the tate of perfection It has reached among aome of these Indian tribes. Yeu may tell an individual In your employ te de cer tain thing, but you roust accompany him te see that he docs It, because If he does net feel like doing it he will ceme back and lie about it. Hit one of them with your flat or kick him ent of your heuce, and he will complain te the nearest al caide, and will have twenty witnesses te swear that they saw you Beat the com- lalnant ever tha head with a club until te lay insensible in his own bleed, and this though they may have been miles away at the time. Many of the Indians are weavers and pottery makers. The cloths they preduce are very pretty bright colored fabrics, beautifully embroidered in cotton or silks as the wearer may desire. The shirt of their costume is made like a square bag, with a hole for the head and holes for thn arms, and when the skirt la fastened around the waist with their pretty belts, the lower part of the skirt becomes a pet ticoat.

Wolf oe n Schlerbrand In The Cosmopoli tan. A Teeth Werth a Millien. A charming read of seventy.feur miles carries the traveler te Kandy, the ancient Siugalene capital of the country. This is a picturesque piacc, with some beautiful vlews, a residence of the governor and a liuddhlst temple, where, In a wonderfully rich shrine, one of Gautama's teeth Is kept. This Is one of the treasures of the "Light of Asia," for which, It is said, the king of Slam offered 1,000,000 rupees net long since, but In vain. The priests hav ing It In their care are said te boiameng thn most Intelligent and learned. of the eastern craft, and possess much Hudd Hudd hlstle lore of great antiquity and value. One of the attendants Informed me with much pride that Edwin Arneld worshiped at the shrine when last In Covlon. 1 can net say that Edwin la a Buddhist, but his writings show him quite as deeply im bued with reveronce for Gautama as for hlra we of the west claim te be the Ixrd. One cannet'talk with the intelligent peo ple at thiartemple without being impressed with the. fact that their creed rests with them nren enlightened faith, and net upon bPlud superstition.

Meck anger seems te be rather common among birds. There Is In them, when caged, some suppressed excitement or iury, especially In the spring. Every ene who knows a parrot known that a per fectly reciprocal fondness is no protection against his bite. The one I knew bites his best friend deeply, and rears with laughter. The little birds use a kind of flirtation of defiance with the overwhelm ing power of theso they knew Intimately. A skilled bird tamer, I believe, puts his hand Inte the cage., and, when the bird moves, withdraws it hurriedly, as If In fear. This Invites tfie bird te a contempt which becomes the foundation for famil iarity, and the dovlce is founded, I sup pose, en that adventurous and provoca tive spirit In the bird which prompts the bnllfinches te scold and bully the master whose favors they value. Dees a puppy bark and enap In play in something like tbe same tempen I might mention a JeldCnch I knew, which, I think, never alls te distinguish its partial mistress from all ethers by an outburst of swear ing and ruffling. Londen Spectator. Hew te I'lar Tlieni Out.. -. - A famous musician was spending a short holiday in the country. Oa the Sunday he went te the parish church and asked the villaire organist if he would kindly allow him te play while the people' were fce"iK out. vAjnneni, was reaniiy given. But such wonderful and beautiful inusle did the accomplished stranger bring out of the old fashioned organ that everybody Kent their seats te enjoy it. This vexed tue ordinary player and lie rudely pushed the visitor aside, saying, "That Kind of playing will never gut the pcople out; I will show you hew te de It." Se saying, he took his place and bo be gan droning away In his usual style. Speedily the congregation rese from their pews and fled. "There," cried he, with a self satlificd smile, "that Is the way te play them out." Heme Journal. At the rtMebnll Match. Jobsen Yes, Kuehne Is a fine batter.

Society women nowadays thoroughly realize the Importance of geed health in the matrimonial market, and New Yerk women are today much stronger and healthier, as a rule, than the men are. A few minutes en Broadway, betwucn Four teenth street and Thirty-second, en the west side of the street, of a Saturday afternoon, will demonstrate the truth of this assertion. The women, as a rule, are fresh of face, erect of carriage their heads are well poised and theb nns well rounded. Their figures are trim and' they walk along with a strong and regular stride. The men, en tiiu ether baud, are tee often sallow and loeso Jointed, fiat chested and hollow ejtd, and certainly but little clse can be expected when the late hours usually kept by them are con sidered and It Is remembered hew many dozens of cigarettes they smeke during the dy and hew many deadly cocktails are Imbibed.
