How Shaving Originated.

The custom of shaving the beard was
enforced by Alexander of Macedon, not
for the sake Of fashion but for practical
end. He knew that the soldiers of India,
when they encountered their foes, had the
habit of grasplng them by the beard, and
so he ordered his soldiers to shave.
Afterward shaving was practiced in the
Macedonian army, and then among Greek
citizens. The Romans initiated the
Greeks in the practice, as they did in
many other things, and spread it into the
other European nations yet barbaric. In
the middle ages, at that time Of the Re-
Nuisance, shaving was introduced, and
the habit was retained, though clas-
sicism gave place to romanticism,
and that in its turn gave. place to real
ism. The beard was source, OF trouble
to Peter the Great, who, simultaneously
with the introduction Of his great reforms
into Russia, tried to induce his people to
initiate the shaving nations. This inno-
walton was resisted by his subjects with
the utmost persistence, and they prefer
red to pay a heavy fine rather than suffer
Disagreement, as they believed, of the
image of God. To the Russians of olden
times the beard was a symbol of liberty.
In several countries of Western Europe
and in the United States the beard was
restored to honor only about twenty years
ago, but even vets majority of men re-
spect the custom introduced by Alexan-
der the Great.

Salsify-Do You Grow 1t.

Satisfy is often called oyster-plant. !
We wish it wasn't, for many who live far
inland do not like oysters, and the name,
prejudices these against one of the great
est delicacies of the garden. It is indeed
a choice vegetable, but one within the
reach of everyone, as it requires no more
care in cultivation than parsnip. Its re-
quirements are precisely those Of the pars-
nip a deep rich soil and early sowing of
fresh seed, the seed being quite uncertain
if not of the growth Of the previous season.
Make the rows fifteen inches apart, and
SOW as soon as the soil is dry enough to
work; the seed, being long and narrow,
is not sown readily in a machine, and it
is safer to SOW by hand. The root is rare
" over an inch through. To get the larg-
est possible, thin to three or four inches
and keep free Of weeds.
Scorzonera, Or sblack salsify,', is relat-
ed plant, grown in the same manner and
for the same uses. The root has dark ex-
terror By some the flavor of this is pre-
ferred; try both. Both are hardy, and if
desired, a part of the crop may be left in
the ground until spring, the winters sup
ply being stored like other roots. Uses !:
The roots are to be scraped and thrown
into water at once, else they turn black.
They are cut into small pieces, stewed and
served with a sauce of butter tflickened
with -four; they are boiled whole until
soft, then dipped into butter and fried or

The Use of Lemons.

The lemon tree is native of Asia, al
though it is cultivated In Italy, Portugal
and the south of France In Europe,
however, it seldom exceeds dimensions Of
the smallest tree, while in its native state it
grows to over sixty feet in height. Every
part of this tree is valuable in medicine,
though we rarely employ any of it but its
fruits-that is the lemon itself; and every
one knows how to employ this, as in lem
onade-to squeeze the juice into cold wa
ter; this is the shortest way; or to cut it
in slices and then boil it. Either way is
good. Lemonade is one Of the best and
safest drink for any person, whether in
health OF not. It is suitable to all
stomach diseases, is excellent in sickness
in cases of jaundice, gravel, liver COM
plaints,i Inflammation of the bowels. and
fevers. It is a specific. against worms and
skin complaints. The pippins crushed
may also be used with water and sugar,
and be used as drink. Lemon-juice
is the best anti-scorbutic
remedy known; it not only cures this
disease, but prevents it. Sailors make a
daily use Of it for this purpose. I advise
every one to rub their gums daily with
lemonjuice to keep them in health. The
hands and nails are also kept clean, white,

Prisoners at Libby.

During the winter Of 1864 there were
above one thousand federal officers confined
in Libby prison. at Richmond, Va. In De-
cember, 1868, Col. Rose, of the Tooth Penn
sylvania, conceived the idea of escaping
by means of tunnel. He communicated
his plans to some of his comrades, who
promised their cooperation in the matter.
The great difficulty they found was in get
ting access to the basement of the building,
where they designed commencing opera
tons. They could get access to the first
floor of the eastern division, for this was
occupied by hospitable cooks who were en-
listed soldiers who we're captured but
there was no opening into the basement.
There was, however. q large chimney lead
ing up from fire place in the basement.
They finally discovered that they could go
down the aperture. of the chimney and
thus reach the basement. At the east end
of the building thsre was narrow alley,
upon the opposite side Of which there was
lot of considerable size, near the center
of which there was an unused stable, this
stable being some distance beyond the
guards, who were stationed near the build
ing. It was the design of the projectors
of the tunnel to open the terminus of it In
to this stable. The greatest difficulty en-
countered was at the beginning. They had
to effect IN. opening in the foundation wall
which was of stone. To do this they had
no better tools than a few small hatchets

A Tunisian Harem.

A letter from Tunis, Africa, says: We
have been to the Harem and to the Bey's
palace where we saw real harem and
women who had never been out of their
own houses and had seen no men except
their own husbands and sons They were
surrounded by everything money could
buy; their palaces were perfectly mag

of one woman, utter living with her
thirty years, has put her aside to marry
a young girl that she brought up to wait
on him. He has taken his new wife
away and left the old one in her beauti-
full palace, SO she says she prays to die.
This same man gave grand ball not
long ago and invited all the Europeans
in Tunfs. He thought he was exceed
ingly kind to his wives and children in
cutting small hole through the wall by
which, in turns, they were able to see
the visitors.
| The harems Of the lower class are
rooms with but little furniture and only
rugs to sit on. But those Of the wealthy
have European furniture, pictures and
works of art. The women sat on divans
around the sides of the rooms, but we
were given chairs and sofas. With all
their splendor, however, they looked miser-
able and unhappy. They cannot read
or write, and, I believe, they hardly dare
think. All the women do from morning
till night is to rig themselves up in their
fnery, keep it on an hour or two, and
then change for something else.

DR.. Arnold at Rugby.

On his appointment to the head mas
tership of Rugby school, Arnold took his
ID. %, degree, and from that time he was
chiefly called in public by the name by
which we best know him, Or. Arnold.
The beginning Of DR.. Arnold's reign at
Rugby was marked by something of
gloom and discomfort among the boys and
those connected with them. He looked
much deeper down into the character Of
each individual member Of the school than
1t had been the custom Of former head
master. to do; and when, on closely
watching boy, he saw he exercised a bad
influence over his companions, he quietly
requested his friends to remove him as un-
fit for public school life + thus, as may
easily be supposed, causing dissatisfaction
in many quarters. Arnold's face had
also, probably, something to do with his
winning his way slowly, at first, with the
boys. When he was very much in earnest
about anything his features would wear q
serious gravity of expression, hich the
very young easily mistook for sternness
and when he had his first interview with
a lad, on his arrival at school, he vas al
ways most deeply u earnest at Tue
thought OF the new charge confded to
him, and this made his appearance fright
en- his scholars little on first seeing him
Gradually, however, these drawbacks to
his popularity faded away; parents found
that he had judged rightly for their sons
in changing their sphere ofeducation, and
the boys learned that their head-master's
face could twinkle with fun, and softer
with paternal tenderness, and that there
were in him depths Of kindly sympathy
for their young troubles and difficulties
and stores Of general strength, such a:
they had never dreamed of in man. Soor
the common expression in the schoo
about the head-master came to be, among
the boys, 1--WE would die for him" The
only fault which he would never pardon
was a lie--that was always punished by
immediate expulsion from the school
This severe respect for truth, however
increased, on the whole, his ascendency
for lofty sense Of honor, manly straight
forwardness, are always essential quail
ties in an English boys ideal hero.
