How Shaving Originated.

The custom of shaving the beard wa.
enforced by Alexander of Macetlon. nc
for the sake Of fashion but for practica
end. He knew that the soldiers OF India
when they encountered their foes. had the
habit ofgrasping them by the beard. and So
he ordered his soldiers to shave. After.
ward shaving was practiced il. the Mace.
doni'n army. and then among Greek citi.
Gems. The Romans inflated the Greeks in
the practice. as they did in many other
things. and spread it into the other Euro
pean nations yet barbaric. In the middle
ages. at that time of the Renaissance. shay
ing was introduced. and the habit was re-
tanned. though classicism gave place to ~
manticisnl. and that in its turn gave place
to realism. The beard was u source of
trouble to Peter the Great. who. simultane-
ously with the introduction OF his great
reforms into Russia. tried to induce his
people to initiate the shaving nations. This
was resisted BY his subjects
With the utmost persistence. and they pre-
erred to pay l.eavy fine rather than suffer
disagreement. as they believed. OF the inn
lge OF God. TO the Russians OF ol,len
lines the beard was symbol OF liberty.
q several countries Of Western Europe
nd in the United States the beard was re-
tored to honor only about twenty yea, $
go, but even yet u majority Of men IT.

ceiye the highest wages in Europe. on &C.
count OF the steadiness and the economical
habits OF the former. and the strikes. drink |

CONDITIONS NECESSARY TO SUCCESS
The following excerpt from an exchange
is so applicable to all persons, places, md
times, that we cannot resist the inclina-
tion to reprint it here: Purposes, how
ever wise, without plans, cannot be relied
on for good results. Random or spas
mod ic efforts, ike aim less shots, are usu'
ally no better than wasted time and
strength. The purposes of shrewd mer
in the business of this life are always fol-
lowed with careful formed plans. Wheth'
er the object be Learning, honor, OF
wealth, the ways and means are all laid
out according to the best rules and meth
ods. The mariner has his charts, the
architect his plans, and the sculptor his
model-and each rs II means and condi.
ton of success. Invention, genius, OF
even what is called inspiration, can Dc
little in any department of theoretical OF
practical science, except as it works by Il
well formed plan. Their every step is an
advance toward the accomplishment of
the object. Every tack of the ship made
according to nnutical law keeps her steady
lily approaching the port. Each stroke
OF the chsel brings the marble into closer
likeness to the model. No effort or time
is lost, for nothing is done rashly or a
random"

A STEAM WEDD1NG-Last Wednesday
morning the eastward bound train drew
up to the little station of Richmond, on
the Stonington Railroad, and a man of
some seventy winters and a maiden Of
some twenty five summers stepped to the
platform. R,v. Mr.-was in waiting
with his carriage to take the Couple to
his residence, where the ceremony was to
be performed which should make them
husband and wife. But instead of the
youthful pair entering the carriage, the
bridegroom expectant hurriedly inquired
when the next westward-bound train was
due. On being told.that only five min.
utes would elapse before that important
event, he calculated, II am in hurrys
We must return by the next train! It's
going to rain! We must be married J"
They entered the humble waiting room of
the depot, there to take upon themselves
the bonds that none but God can put
asunder. Time sped on. The hands of
the clock moved slowly, but they moved
exceeding sure. Considerable Of the linn
tied time was consumed in filling out the
certificate, Sc, until the station agent
suggested that the time was 'tonly two
minutes now" Just then the westward
bonnd train rounded the curve, approach
ing the station just as if there never were
such thing, in all the world as weddings
aud perpexed youths and mailens. But
the reverend servant Of Hymsn was equal
to thu occasion and brought the affair to
speedy crisis as follows:
Join hands. You taxa this man to b,

Some silver dollars jingled merrily,
and the conductor called. "AlI aboard y
The train left the station and with it the
happy pair.
A PARALLEL CAsE.-The other day
ragged, wretcbed, middle aged man called
at house on West Thirty Fourth street
and asked for food, but the lady Of the
house called out ]:
why don't you work for fool 2"
Il would if | knew where I could find

"There's a place down town where you
can saw wood and earn your dinner" she
continued.
That seemed to stick him for half a
minute, but he faally said, with great
so'emnity:
Madam, let me state a parallel case.
There is a place in Heaven for you, bu. you
don't want to die till you're driven right to
it,"
She ponderel over bis philosophy for
few seconds, and then called to the cook to
pass out half a loaf of bread and some meat.
