q A ROYAL BEARD. Mr.. Joseph Ma
s.son. of Hazel Green, besides being a.
sgUod hand with the camera, is happy
sand pre-eminent in the possession of
ga beard about six years old and someI
forty five inches long. The orna-
sment is luxuriant and thrifty, and
Though streaked with envious grey |
Spromises to grow to length many
atimes exceeding that of the sleeping|
King in Tennyson's DAY Dream" \
This beard is certainly an extensiveI
sone, the longest and most prosper
%ous, without question, in the Stated

lists anywhere, the fact certainly
Ought to obtain wide publicity thro'E
sthe newspapers. We believe that;
