Why We Should Wear Boards.

There are moro solid Inducements for
wearing the beard than the mere improve
mCnt of mans personal appearance and
the cultivation OF such an aid 10 the eve.
ry.day diplomacy Of life The hair Of
the moustache not only absorbs the mois-
ture and miasna Of the fogs, butit strains
the air from dust and the SCOT of our
great, smoky cities. II acts also in the
most scientific manner, by taking heat
from the warm breath as it leaves the
chest, and supplying it to the cold air
taken in. II is not only resplrator, but
with a beard entire we are supplied with
n comforter SIS well, and these are never
left at home. like the umbrella and all
such appliances when they are wanted.
M1fat and Livingstone, the explorers,
and many other travellers, say that at
night no wrapper can equal the beard. 4
remarkable fact is, too, that the beard,
like the hair Of the head, protects against
the heat Of the sun, it acts az the thatch
does % the ice house; but more than this
it becomes moist with Precipitation, and
then, by evaporation, ceols the skin
a man who accepts this protection Of
nature may face the rudest storm and the
hardest winter He may 20 from the hot
test room into the coolest air without
dread, and we verify believe that he
