FACTS ABOUT MoUsTAcHEs.-' Henry"
writes to learn why it is that one side of
a moustache curls more easily than the
other He says that the right side Of
his curls naturally upward while the op-
posite end as naturally loops downward.
This is not q natural function of the
moustache. 1t is in the training. If the
owner of the moustache is unmarried the
curl Of the moustache indicates Oh which
side Of q young lady he most frequently
sits. For instance, if on her right side
the left hand and and arm have an Office
of their own TO fill, the hand of the right
arm is left free to toy with that side Of
the moustache, and curling up the end is
its favorite pastime. This is reversed if
the left side is preferable to him. As a
general thing it will be found that young
mems moustaches curl best on the right
side. # the wearer is married the curl
indicates on which side of the church is
his pew. If on the right of the church
the curl will be on the left of the nous
tache, as this position throws his left ell
bow on the back of the seat, thus bring
ing the left hand to his face, when the
fingers naturally fall to work at once.
The reverse occurs if the pew is on the
opposite side. Henry can rely on this
information as the result of years of care
ful study and researches in moustache
statistics. -Dan5uy Ne1Us.

4 Rich. Poor Man.

In their own stolid way, Russian
peasants are contented enough. The
clerk of savings bank recently estab-
Hshed in a provincial town in Russia,
met with an odd Illustration of this fact.
lie was one day startled by the entrance
OF heavy-looking notwithstanding,
grimy, unkempt-the very last man one
would expect to see in a bank, except
for the purpose Of robbing it. The APP
partition came timidly up to the coun-
ter, and requested permission to de-
post some money in the bank. The
clerk, who imagined the extent of the
deposit to be about five rOubles, or
thereab0ut, consented, as matter of
course, WhereupOn the gentleman in
SheepSkin produced tattered, filthy
leather bag, and poured out before the
clerks astonished eyes perfect pyra-
mid of bank bills of all values from one
rouble to fifty. The amazed clerk has
tily summoned his two colleagues, and
the three, aftera long spell of counting,
satisfied themselves that the total
amount was not less than twenty thou
sand r0ubles, or fifteen thousand dol
lars. The peasant who stood watching
the operation with a look of childish
curiosity, pocketed his receipt and
walked off as coolly us if nothing had
happened; but the next morning lie re-
appeared and again addressed himself
to the same clerk, stating that he had
two boxes full of gold which he wished
to deposit. At this point the banker
himself came forward and accompanied
the unwashed capitalist to his home, in
tending to take charge of the gold. Ar
rived at their destination, the peasant
led his companion TO small, mean
looking hut, and opening a shed on one
side of it, displayed two battered wood
EN- boxes, through the breaches in which
gold pieces were escaping i'll all direc-
lions, while beside them lay the dirty
bag which had held the bank bills of
the day before. 1t seemed that the
money had descended to the peasant
from his father and grandfather. and
had been buried for safe keeping. So
little did the peasant realize the value
of his possession, that he was content
to live III a hOvel, in apparently the
deepest poverty, without a wish for
anything beyond his mean, sordid life.

Curiosity Gratifled.

She was very pretty and quite young
nineteen or thereabouts-and when
she tripped into the real estate Office,
and with smile and blush began
making inquiries regarding little six
room cottage in Brooklyn, the real es-
tate agent looked over his spectacles
at her and thought lie had not seen
such handsome woman for years.
Question and answer followed each 9th
er in rapid succession, and at their con-
clusion the lady seemed as delighted
with the house as the agent was with
his prospective tenant. Then the lady's
hand Owed into the mysterious folds
of her polonaise and drew forth a dainty
little purse, from which she began to
count forth crisp notes with which to
pay her first months rent of her new
house. AT the sight of money the
agents presence of mind returned to
him, and remembering the rule of the
Office, which applies to cases where I'M
protected females apply to rent resi-
dences, lie began questioning his fair
customer:
All, yes, madam; that is to say miss;
all, who is to rent the-the house?
Your father?'
why, no!n
your mother, then?"
''Why, no. What difference does it
make to y0u?"
80, nothing, nothing; but then we
always like to know who is going to
occupy the premises we rent"
well, Tam going to live there my
self"
"Alonern
Certainly not.n
"With your parents, l suppose?"
"N-n-o-" with faint blushl.
"Who with, then?"
with a-a-gentleman. "a profu-
/ sion of blnshes.)
"a gentleman? A relation, 1 sup
poser"
! !'No, sir; he's not relation but"
Madam, must decline to rent the
premises. No, madam, it's no use, l
really"
but he's the gentleman I'm going
to marry" cheeks carmine and eyes full
of gentle fire..
And then that real estate agent went
and stayed i'll the back office just long
enough to call himself a qualified old
fool eight or nine times, after which
! he frisked back to his customer
and promised newly-papered walls,
treshly-whitened ceilings, hot and cold
water on each floor, bronze gas-fixtures
throughout, CRATES in the fifeplaces,
and every thing else she might want
in the house, and handed her the re-
ceipt for the first months rent with
a bow and smile that, if the grandmoth-
er OF his grandchildren had happened
around just then, would have cost him
| a heap of domestic trouble.

Frauds Under the Bankrupt Law.

The New York Register in bank
ruptcy has made up Il report revealing
the rascality that is continually COM
mitted i'll bankruptcy proceedings. He
says that it is almost the universal
practice i'll that city for persons know
ing themselves to be insolvent, to make
large purchases of merchandise, make
fictitious debts to friends, and then
make general assignment to some per-
sonal friend who continues the business
at the old stand.
The bankrupt continues to live in
style, and at the end of six months
IS put through involuntary bankruptcy
and discharged, his general creditors
getting nothing, and himself and
friends benefting at their expense. Nor
are such practices confined to that city.
y case in point is related by the Indi-
annapolis Journal: A merchant bought
$4,000 worth of goods on credit, and
soon after had himself put into bank
ruptcy 10y q friend, procured friend to
be made assignee, who had the stock
appraised at 5000, which another
friend bought at fifty cents on the dol
lar and transferred 10 the original
merchant on the very day he received
his discharge, thus securing goods
worth $1,000 for $3.50. When one of
his creditors, purchasing at his store.
asked a reduction on the article, giving
us 4 reason that lie had lost so much
money by him, the debtor exclaimed:
do you think was such fool as to
70 into bankruptcy for your beneits'
