Shall Walters Wear Boards.

A proprietor has an undoubted right
to engage q man conditionally, upon
shaving. No man is forced to accept :;
it is solely question between them, for
them to settle, without the interference
of anybody. Everything is carried to
ridiculous extremes. One well-known
uptown house actually requires their
men to shave everything clean. It is
said that guest, to whom nature had
denied any hirsute appendages what
ever, and who consequently lacked that
manly appearance which those orna-
ments alone can give, was waited upon
by waiter who possessed a handsome
beard. The customer, noticing the
difference between the waiter and him
self, announced his intention of not using
the house in future unless the walters
shaved, which from that time has been
rule of the house. It may not be
generally known, but the proprietor of
one of our leading uptown restaurants
invariably shaves when in the city.
This is consistency. This gentleman
would, doubtless, scorn to ask man to
do what he would not do himself.

A Woman with n History.

Mrs. Beatty passed through Nashville,
Tenn, recently, en- route for Blue Ridge
Springs. Va, her accustomed place for
spending the summer, to Craggie Hope,
where she will spend some time with her
niece, Mrs. Murray, and family, of Mem
phis. Mrs. Beatty Is remarkable woman.
She is daughter of Governor John Adair,
of Kentucky. At the aye of Is she mar
ued Joseph M. White, of Florida, who
was elected to Congress from that State,
and continued TO represent lt at Washing
TON for twelve years, without ever going
TO the State or even asking the suffraEes OF
his constituency. He declined TO serve
longer before each election, and finally was
flowed to retire on the pretext that his
wife's health required change. he then
went on an important foreign mission and
renamed abroad many years, whereby his
gifted and beautiful wife possessed extra
ordinary advantages in sharing the honors
of dignItaries in Church and State. She
was honored by private interview with
the Pope of Rome fifty years ago without
paying the usual homage of kissing his toe,
and not only did he pledge ever to receive
whomsOever she might see proper to COM
mend and TO remember her in bis prayers,
but he sent her some valuable presents,
among which was an elegant diamond
cross, with an exquisite representation of
the Saviour in amethyst. Mr.. White was
successful lawyer, and at his death left
an estate of a half million dollars. Five
years and more had elapsed after his death
when Mrs. FLORIDA" White, as she was
known In Washington, married DR.. Beatty,
of New Orleans. He died in about five
years, when she retired to the privacy of
her estate in Florida. There she remained
alone with her two hundred slaves until

Sary. When Mr.. Lincoln issued the eman-

Although past so years of age she posses
ses her faculties quite perfectly. Her
memory is excellent. When younger she
and Mrs. President Polk were special
friends. After the war she busled herself
in the building of Southern Presbyterian
Church at Washington, and from one of
her own sacrifices she gave q couple OF
thousand dollars realized on the sale OF

greatly priced, and she would not have

Artificial DiamOnds-HOw they were
Made.

Mr.. Hannay, the Glasgow chemist,
who succeeded in producing carbon crys
tails which by careful examination by
experts, proved to be real diamonds, has
at last explained the method by which
he produced them. His experiments
We're bold, expensive and oft repeated.
Out of eighty only three succeeded.
Violent explosions were frequent, fur
naces were blown to pieces, steel tubes
burst, and as n net result he produced a
few small crystals of diamond which
would have but little monetary value.
Furthermore, he confessed to having in
duoed i'll himself very weak state of the
nervous system caused by working under
such difficulties and dangers. The crys-
tails were at last produced by tube of
coiled Loromoor iron twenty inches long,
four inches in diameter, having an inter
nal bore of only half an inch. In il were
placed mixture of 80 per cent. bone
oil, 10 per cent. partfine spirit. and about
81 grains of metal lithium. The open
end of the tube was welded air-tight, and
the whole was heated to redness for four
teen hours, a process which of course
caused tremendous themperature with
III the tube, the same process having ex-
ploded many tubes tried previously. Af-
ter allowing the tube to cool and open
ing it, he found within small mass adj
herring to the sides which was quite
black. From this black mass he obtain
ed the crystalline carbon. Paraffine
spirit is made up of carbon and hydro
gen, and it is supposed that the metal
lithium went into union with the hydro
gen leaving the gaseous carbon which,
under the intense heat and pressure, was
crytallized into the solid form which we
call diamonds. If this experiment can
be regarded as an indication of natures
process the temperature of the earth
must have been at one time much higher
than anything we can now produce arti-
ficially, with pressure so enormous as
to be almost beyond calculation. The
earth which now affords habitation for
man must have undergone wonderful
changes since it was capable of produc-
ing the diamond. DR.. Foote'S Hedlth

The HalIucInations of Great Men.

In 1906 General Rapp, on his return
from the siege of DantZic, having occa
sion to speak to the Emperor, entered his
study without being announced. He
found him SO absorbed that his entry was
unperceived. The General, seeing the
Emperor continue motionless, thought he
might be i'll, and purposely made noise.
Napoleon Immediately aroused himself,
and, without any preamble. seizing RapP
by the arm, said TO him, pointing 10 the
sky: "Look there, up there " The Gen.
eral renamed silent, but, on being asked
second time, he answered that he per-
ceived nothing. "What," replied the
Emperor, "you do not see it2 1t is my
star, it is before you brilliant :" then, AMI
mating by degrees, he cried out : ''It has
never abandoned me. | see it on all great
occasions, il commands me TO go forward.
and it is constant sign of good fortune
to me.
1t appears that stars Of this kind, so
frequently spoken of in history, and so
well known as a metaphor in language,
are a common halluCinalion of the in sane.
Brierre de Boismont has chapter on the
stars of great men. l cannot doubt that
phantasies of this description were in
some cases the basis of that firm belief in
astrology which not few persons Of emi-
nence entertained.
The halluclnaUions of great men may be
accounted for in part by their sharing a
tendency which we have seen TO be not
uncommon in the human race, and which,
if it happens to be natural to them, is liza
ble to be developed in their overwrought
brains by the isolation of their lives. A
man in the position of the first Napoleon
could have no intimate associates; a great
philosopher who explores ways of thought
far ahead of his contemporaries must
haYe an inner world in which he passes
long and solitary hours. Great men are
also apt to have touches of madness; the
ideas by which they are haunted, and to
whose pursuit they devote themselves,
and by which they rise to eminence, have
much in common with the monomania of
insanity. Striking instances Of great Wis
ionaries may be mentioned, who had al
most beyond doubt those very nervous
seizures with which the tendency to hallu-
clnations is intimately connected. To
take single instance Socrates, whose
damon was an audible not visual ap-
pearance, was subject to what admits of
hardly any other Interpretation than cata-
leptic seizure, standing all night through
in rigid attitude.

A Noted Statue

Beaconstield's statue is to stand in the
north transept of Westminster Abbey
that which is entered from the church
yard of st. Margaret upon the Thames
side, and in which stands the well-re-
membered monuments of Lord Chatham.
Palmerston, Mansfield, Canning and
Peel. Beanconsfeld's statue will be
placed next to that of his old antagonist.
Sir Robert Peel. It will probably take
the place of Chantrey's monument to
Sir John Malcolm, the diplomatist of
East India fame, to whose memory an
other monument in theform of an obelisk
100 feet high stands at Eskdale, in Dunn
friesshire, Scotland. The Chantrey monu-
ment will be removed to another portion
of the Abbey, as it was the intention of
the late Dean Stanley to have the north
transept devoted in the future to Prime
Ministers. The selection of the place
for the Beaconsfeld statue, and the SER
mon upon the late Premier, were among
the very latest official acts of the Dean
of Westminster.

1t is a curious fact in natural history
that our migrating birds all (or nearly
alb perform their migrations in the night.
Subsequent Investigations have led to
the acceptance of this habit on the part
of the birds by all scientists who have
studied this subject. And Capt Brooks,
of the Faulkner's Island lighthouse, says
that every year great numbers of birds
kill themselves by dashing against the
light. Once, in the top of the lofty
lighthouse off st. Augustine, Florida, ]
found the thick and solid plate glass
badly cracked, and some plates newly
put in to replace others that had been
wholly smashed by the impact of wild
ducks-and this, too, bear in mind. in
spite of a strong wire netting placed
around the light for its protection
Such is the force with which they fly.
Faulkner's Island light is so strongly
protected by heavy plate glass that it is
rarely, if ever, broken. But the
slaughter of the innocents is enormous
in spring and fall. During the period
of the main movement, for q week or so
in spring and in September, Capt Brooks
says hundreds of dead birds are picked
up. On the morning of May Is, 1873,
he picked up no fewer than 216 dead
birds at the foot of the lighthouse tower,
none of them larger than catbird, and
he says there must have been three or
four times that number that were so
disabled that they could not get off the
island. He thinks 1000 birds at least
were killed or wounded in that one night
against his light alone; and he took
measures to ascertain how it was with
other lighthouse keepers. Most of them
reported quite as large, and some even a
larger destruction than Faulkner's Is
land had witnessed!
Take even twenty of the eighty or one
hundred lighthouses Cat guess) betw zen
the New Jersey coast and the shores of
Maine, and if anything like this rate of
ornlthologlcal fatality prevailed. what
must be the annual destruction of birds
on our northern Atlantic coast alone
Mrs. Celia Thaxter, in her "reminiscences
of the Isles of Shoals, tells of similar
state of things at that light. Doubtless
the keeper of almost any light could tell
a similar story. No wonder our New
England birds do not increase-that
many kinds seem to be falling off. That
with the wanton destruction wrought by
long-legged men and boys with guns,
and this work of the lighthouses, there is
danger that the number of our small
birds will tend, Notwithstanding their
fecunditY, to diminish rather than in,
crease.
