The remains of the late Mr.. A. T. Stew

checkered career that that of a very differ

Paris, in May, ITS, the church there -e.

body was inferred at Scellieres, in Cham
payne. During the Revolution the Ma
tional Assembly decreed that Voltaire's
remains should be brought to Paris, and
they were accordingly deposited in the
Pantheon with great pomp in 1891. Thith-
er, too, presently, came the body of Ros-
seau. One dark night in 1914, when the
BOurbOns were enjoying their own again,
some of the faithful indignant that the
bones of such enemies to religion should
rest in cOnsecrated ground, threw them
pell-mell into sack, and carried them to
| point in the suburbs near Berey, where
there was a large vacant lot belonging to
the city. Here hole had been already
dug, and the contents of the sack were

lime. The hole was then filled in and the
conspirators trampled down the earth

Toilet and Health Hints.

To keep the hands soft, mix honey, al
mond meal and olive oil into paste. use
after washing with soap. CASTLE soap is
best for use; it will cure a scratch or cut,
and prevent any spot.
For inflammatory rheumatism, take half
an ounce of pulverized saltpeter, put in
half a pint of sweet oil, bathe the parts
affected, and a sound cure will speedily be
effected.
The Partisan method of cleaning black
silk is to brush and wipe it thoroughly,
lay it on a flat table, with the side up
which is intended to show, and sponge
with hot coffee strained through muslin.
Allow it to become partly dry, and then

An Heroic Actress.

A leading member of the Dollie Bidwell
troupe, an heiress in her own right, who
has adopted the stage out of love for the
drama, did heroic act at Waterbury
Tuesday afternoon, A bruised ankle and
a torn dress were the injuries, but the
abiding glory was the rescue of a human
life from death. The party arrived at
Waterbury Tuesday morning. After din
ner they strolled into the country. Finally
they reached the track of the Now York &
New England railway. While walking
leisurely on this through a narrow cut
they were suddenly alarmed by the whist
ling of a locomotive. They turned and
saw that train was only short distance
from them. It was but the work of q mo-
ment for them to clear the track. Unfortu-
nately little son of one of the actresses
went to the side of the cut opposite to his
mother. He longed to be with her SO he
attempted to cross the track. Horrified,
the party motioned him to keep back, but
he persisted in walking directly into the
jaws of death. Reaching the track he
stood still and the beholders were awe
stricken at what appeared to be his inevi-
table fate. He seemed riveted to the track.

shaving the Beard.

The custom of shaving the beard was
enforced by Alexander of Macedon, not foI
the sake of fashion, but for practical end
He knew that the soldiers of India, when
they encountered their foes, had habit OF
grasping them by the beard, and SO he or
dered mis- 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 to the different European ma
tions yet barbaric. In the middle ages, at
the time of the Renaissance, shaving was
introduced. and the habit was retained,
though classicism gave place to romanti-
cism, and that, in its turn, was replaced by
realism. The beard was source of trouble
to Peter the Great, who, simultaneously
with the introduction of his great reforms
in Russia, tried to induce his people to i'm
itate the shaving nations. This innovation
was resisted by his subjects with the ut
most resistance, and they preferred to pay
heavy penalties rather than to suffer any
Disagreement, as they believed, of the inn
age of God. To the Russian 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 yet the majority of men respect the
custom introduced by Alexander the
Great.

A lady who wanted a dozen of eggs fresh

Whatever man may think on the subject,
the last word "obey" has a grave meaning
to thoughtful women who conscious of a
''soul of their own" are little terrified at
all obedience may involve. Other women

On the morning OF the fourth day he was

into the reading-room of one our hotels,
