One day a Brahman' accidentally tout-bed some uwlun object with hia little finger. The Br:h::-]1D tiiou ht tl.at now. bis little finger having become un clean. any substance which it would touch would be also rendered unclean and ihaa rnak* him an unclean man. Seeing no other way to get out of the scrape be resolved to g'*t the offc-nding member amputated. Forthwith be went : to a carpenter and explained to him | that un!e*s the finger was cut off Ue .the Brahman > was unai.le tut !:-• food. l!ic carpenter tried to :i>r and that he would not rest uni.il U w s vered. As a final recourse tbe carp -user re so!ved to play his awkward a trick. He (old tb* Brahman to put 1-is , finger on an anvil and to look to tbe sky while the wound was iniicted. Tbe Brahman did so. The carpenter took up a hatchet and gave tha finger a smart blow with the back of it. This elicited a cry of pain from the pa tient. who at once put the finger in hia mouth to allay tbe a? >ay. The carpen ter. laughing, explain'd to the Brah iuan tli.it the blow had mlasM and the liitle finger was still entire; nnd. worst of all. the Ilnbman had defiled him:* If by potting the finger h*o his mouth. The obliging operator, moreover, offer- Mi to perform tbe operation once more, but the Brahman had had enough pain for the nonce and declined with thanks. —Golden Penny. * Some Mustache History. What la tbe history of tbe mustache? In Greece and Borne no mustaches were worn without tcmrds, but In tbe conquering days of the Roman empire several half civilized races who had come partially under the influence of the Romans and who wished to br; rid wf the name of Imrbfiri, or wearer* of heard*, attempted to shave in Imitation of their conquerors; but. as th"y had rery Imperfect implements for the pur rvm- and as the upper lip Is notoriously the hardest part of the f,v.-e to shave in [he case of any one poorly skilled in the art, they wre unable to make a clean |ob of It and left a quantity of hair on the npper Hp. Tliis mark was characteristic of sev eral nations on the confine* of Rornm civilization, of tbe Gauls In particular, ;{ the Dadens and some others. Tbe Latin language has no word for mns lach".
