The Fascinating Young Man.

1t is very easy to put him down, de-
spite his boundless self-possession. A
lady who is annoyed by his too intrusive
attentions has only to cast her eyes
modestly down and fix her gaze intent
ly on his feet The glance should be
concentrated, yet full of pity, and
should linger slightly as the lady passes
by. Instantly the whole platoon Of
Washers is affected by profound dis
trust. The sympathetic look strikes
terror to their souls. They all cast
down their eyes and look at their own
feet. The horrible fear that their shoes
are not in the latest style takes possess
ion of their bosoms. Each one is smt-
ten with the conviction that his foot is
abnormally spacious; he becomes con-
scious Of multitudinous protuding bun
ions and corns; his shoes, peradventure,
are muddy or dusty; or something has
gone wrong with the set of his trousers
at the ankle. The mere possibility Of
such thing destroyes his nerve The
eye-glass falls from his eye, his arms
lose their kimbo; he feels that his pant
aloons are cupped at the knees and
that his coat is full of insists and
wrinkles he suspects the cleanliness of
his stockings. shudders at the thought
that the sole and upper leather Of his
shoes have parted company, revealing
that painful fact He even flies TO some
secluded spot and makes protractcd
investigation before he can satisfy him.
self that all is right. And even then
his nerves do not recover their tone
He is liable to be again panc-strickcn.
A glance of pity mingled with a slight
smile cast at his feet will renew and
aggravate all his paralytic symptoms
Even this bold conqueror has his weak
spot

Boards.


Exceptionally long boards have al
ways attracted good deal of attention,
and history records many instances OF
this kind. Rauber Won Talberg, Ger
man Knight, and Councillor of Maxi
milan Ii. I'd. 1879, rejoiced in a beard
which reached to his feet, and from
there again to his waist John Mayo,
a celebrated painter of the sixteenth
century, who accompanied Charles V.
in his campaign, had beard so long
that although he was tall man, it
would hang upon the ground when he
stood upright; he wore it, therefore,
fastened to his girdle. George Killing
worth, sent by Queen Mary as one Of
her agents in 1856 to Gar Ivan the
Terrible, is said TO have had beard s
feet 2 inches long In the olden time,
when every part Of the body had its
price, the beard was valued at 20s-a
large sum for the time--while the
loss of leg was only estimated at 12S.
We can easily imagine that at periods
when the beard and whiskers were
looked upon as ornamental, false
boards we're substituted for the genuine
article. Pedro w. of Aragon Q35D
found himself compelled to prohibit his
Catalonian subjects from wearing false
boards. But the most singular substi-
tute is the golden beard which Chrys-
ostemus says, was worn by the Kings
of Persia. Suetonius says the same Of
Catigula, the Roman Emperor Ac-
cording to Andreas Fayyn, the kings Of
France Of the first dynasty wore boards
entwined with gold threads. Duke
Renatus, of Lorraine, was the last, and
it is related that he wore at the funeral
of Charles of Burgundy, who died at
Nancy, in l477, beard of gold thread
hanging down to his girdlc. AS Jupit-
er was sometimes adorned with gold
en- beard, the phrase auream darJam
hdbre was equivalent to saying Deam
eSSe. Boards were at various times
taxed in England. Thus we read in
Notes and queries that the Sheriff Of
Canterbury paid three shillings and
four pence for wearing beard. In the
first year of Elizabeth every beard of
above fortnights growth was taxed
three shillings and sixpence; but the
law was too absurd to be enforced.
The duty imposed upon boards by
Peter the Great was ruble (about
three Shillngs). This tax met with q
fate similar to that of Elizabeth's and
was soon cancelled. The development
of the beard as well as the harness Of
the body, differs not merely in different
races, but also in families of the same
race. In Europe and portion of Asia
boards prevail, until we go beyond In
dia, when gradually boards, disap-
pear, as is the case with the Siamese,
Chinese and japanese. - Harpers

Ingenious.

A matchmaker in Newcastle, Pa,
says Pittsburg paper, has completed
set Of three gold studs, in one OF
which is a watch that keeps excellent
time, the dial being about three-eighths
of an inch in diameter. The three
studs are connected by strip Of silver
inside the shirt bosom, and the watch
contained in the middle one is wound
up by turning the stud above, and the
hands are set by turning the one below.
But perhaps the most remarkable thing
about the liliputian machine is that it
works with pendulum, will act with
ease and accuracy in whatever position
the time-piece is placed, even if it be
turned upside down.

The Possibilities Of Sawdust.

A lumber journal calls attention to
the wonderful possibilities of sawdust
as follows: We have been shown a
model of a car wheel consisting of an
iron rim of several inches outward di-
ameter by one-half inch thick, fitted
with well-proportioned hub, the space
between the hub and rim filled with
pine sawdust, pressed in so solidly that
we are ready to believe the assertion
that resting the iron rim upon bearings,
a pressure equal to twenty-three tons
applied to the hub failed to develop any
signs of weakness. Sawdust car wheels,
sawdust brick, sawdust fence-posts, rail-
road ties. and even sawdust window
and door frames, wainscotting and
mouldings begin to appear among the
possibilities of the immediate future.

The Worst Of Everyone.

1t is so easy to get into the way Of
thinking the worst of our friends and
neighbors, that one should guard
against a habit Of detraction with all
one s might. 1t is painfully depressing
to be with those who habitually speak
evil Of others. One feels in charmed
circle of hopeless iniquity, if it be not
one of delusive appearances. Every
thing is bad throughout, and there is
not q square inch of virtue left for our
weary soul to rest on. People whom
we have loved since we were children,
are shown TO US as scanned and SCARED
with iniquities, and unworthy our most
tepid regard; names that we have VEN
Grated are stripped of their laurels, and
crowned with weeds and straw, or
made out TO be the mere shadows OF
names, il indeed they are not the
shadows of foul substances; our pet
illusions are sneered at, and life is
stripped of poetry. People given to
detraction can never find possible
excuse, charitable reason, for any
thing they do not agree with, like, or
understand. Say they see some one
they know under conditions admitting
OF two explanations-one supposing
doubtful taste of discretion, the other
compatible with perfect innocence and
purity of thought and motive; you
never hear them give the latter in
depreciation, or accept it when offered
to them. 1t must be that doubtful APP
pearances are the warranty Of evil
deeds; and they will not be convinced
TO the contrary, say what you may;
they love to hear and believe evil rather
than good
