also an octogenarian, who gives his lessons in
PED, who Is visited by short spasms at irregular
Intervals, and whose theory Is that the breath
comes not from the bones, but from the lungs.
Your young lady student who goes to Milan

The custom of shaving the beard was
enforced by Alexander of Macedon, not
for the sake of fashion, but for a practi-
cal end. He knew that the soldiers of
India, when they encountered their foes,
had the habit of grasping them by the
beard, and SO he ordered his soldiers to
shave. Afterward shaving was prac-
tised in the Macedonian army, and then
among Greek citizens. The Romans
initiated the Greeks in the practice, as
they did in many ether things, and
spread it to the different European ma
ions yet barbaric. In the Middle Ages,
at the time of the Renaissance, shaving
was introduced, and the habit was re-
tanned, though classicism gave place to
Fomantieism, and that, in its turn, was
replaced by realism. The beard was q
source of trouble to. Peter the Great,
who, simultaneously with the introduc-
tion of his great reforms in Russia, tried
to induce his people to initiate the ghav-
ing nations. This innovation was re-
aisted by his subjects with the utmost
persistence, and they preferred to pay q
heavy fine rather than suffer disfgure-
ment, as they believed, Of the image of
God. To the Russians of olden times
the beard was 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 YET the majority Of
men respect the custom introduced by
Alexander the Great.

John } Andrews, Philadelphia mer-
chant, lost the sight of his left eye twen-
ty years ago, and physicians told HIM
that there was no cure. The useless
member gave him no trouble until 1877,
but thereafter it was occasionally so
painful that he writhed on the floor un-
til the attack was over. Many of the
best oculists made careful examinations,
and were unable to ascertain the nature
of the disease: Lately he put himself
into the hands of Philadelphia physi-
clan, of whose investigation he says:
"He blistered me around the mouth to
draw out the Inflammation, and at last
he said: i know what it is not; it is not
inflammation, and that is one point
gained He drew out a diseased tooth
and cut out piece of the jaw bone and
did some probing; finally he said; 1t
does not come from tooth nerve, and
that is another point gained He dosed |
me with quinine until he was satisfied, !
and then he said: 1T is not miasma, and !
that is another point gained Last |

room, and, throwing an indescribably |
bright light into my eye, looked into |
my eye for two mortal hours. At last |
he exclaimed: L have the secret Look |

Horse Thief While EndeaVOr-

DepredatOrs.
1t is related that while Thomas
Mann Randolph was Governor of
Virginia,he was once arrested within
few hundred yards of his home, in
this county, and carried a prisoner
to his own his house. The story is
to the following effect: The Gov.
ernor was on a visit 10 his home
and finding that the fencing on his
plantation was pulled down and
burned by wagoners passing along
from the Valley to Richmond, he
determined to detect and punish
them. One evening he observed q
party go into camp on the road.
side, and after dark he strolled down
to a point where he conld convenient
ly watch them. He staid out all
night, but the wagoners made no
depredations on his fences. In the
early morning, however when they
were about to kindle their fires to
prepare for breakfast, they started
out to gather up what fuel they
might fud for that purpose, when
they spied a man sitting on the fence
a short distance ahead,
Now it appears that a short time
before, Gov. Randolph has ISSUED
his proclamation, offering a reward
for the capture of an escape horse
thief, and the wagoners, who had
seen the description of the convict,
thought they discovered close re
semblance between the man on the
fence and the escaped felon. So
thoroughly satisfied were they that
they would receive the reward for
his arrest that they approached and
that he was their prisoner.
One of them proposed, as he crack ed
his wagon-whip to give him a thrash
ing and then let him go, but his CON-
panion protested that it was proper
to ascertain certainly whether he
was the guilty party before inhict-
ing the punishment, and proposed to
take him to the residence of Gov.
Randolph, which was near by, and
get his advice. Accordingly they
marched their prisoner up to the
house, asd knocking at the front
door, a servant made his appearance,
Of whom they inquired:
q us your master at home?"
The negro opened his eyes in as
tonishment at the inquiry, and re-
piled, pointing to the Governor:
