His First Shave Since 1860.

Philadelphia Times: A tall,
broad shouldered man, ofapparent-
ly fifty-years, walked into Binders IS
Seventh street barber shop on Sat-
uraay afternoon and seated himself
in chair. A heavy black beard
covered his face and his shirt front,
and was finally lost to sight within
the capacious recesses of his waist
coat. "Hair cut, slr?" said the. bar
ber as he began to tuck towel
around the collar of his customer.
preliminary to picking up his
shears. The old man who had been
busy with his beard during this
interval, now exposed it to the as
tonished gaze of the shop. It
reached fully three inches below
his knees when it was uncoiled. He
replied: "No, but-'here he
glanced around the shop with a
triumphant smile-"I want this
beard taken off clean" Apparently
seeing that some explanation would
be welcome to the astonished gath
ering of BARRIERS and customers. the
old man said, in tones that showed
the emotion stirring within him:
"For twenty-four years, no razor
touched my face. This beard is the
result. 1t was in 1860. | was as
spruce young chap as ever kicked
up his heels at a Lancaster county
wedding, and every body knew
young Joe Barstow in those parts.
They called me young joe to make
a difference between the old man
and me. The old man was a Bour-
bon Democrat to the back bone
and | was with him till the split in
the 1860 convention, When the
Southerners put up John G. Breck-
enridge and we-the North-nom-
mated Stephen A. Douglas. The
old man went in for Breckenridge
l felt strong on the subject and
worked for Douglas day and night.

pearance in those days, but l work

Every body laughed as they looked
at me. Get a shaver says I; no

To Remove spots on Vanished
Furniture:-Make mixture of
equal parts Of linseed oil, chloro1
form, turpentine, alcohol and Conc
centrated lye. Slightly moisten
the sleeve of an old undershirt with
this mixture and rub briskty on
the spot until it is removed. Take
the spot and put it away where it
cannot get back on the furniture.
Then take the article of furniture to-
the cabinet-maker and sell it to
him, if you can. If he appears le-
luctant, mash the easy chair, or
whatever it is, over his North
American head. Should spots ap-
pear on the piano legs, rub them
gently with St. Jacobs oil. Where
varnish upon an easy chair has
been injured by heat, SO that it has
the appearance of a mud turtles
back in spring, it is better to re-
move the old varnish with q COM
mon wood-rasp and then you can
remove the easy chair with q little
baggage truck.

Angora Goats.

Goat fanciers in other sections
may feel encouraged to learn that
this industry is rapidly coming to
the front in this portion of Texas,
many who have hitherto given it no
attention are investigating and try
ing to secure pure bred billies.
Pure breeds are hard to get. MIR.
John McKinzie, of Live Oak county
who is the most enthusiastic breed
er have seen, complains bitterly of
having been swindled by parties
from whom he bought what were
represented to be pure breeds. He
has secured only two, by the most
persistent effort, and has time and
again refused $500 apiece for them.
He has three spring kids, sheared
about the 25th of September, which
averaged four pounds each. They
are from a billy shipped by John
S. Harris of Nevada. Mr.. McKin-
zie has 1000 goats, 800 shorthorn

Arab Horses.

The Kocklani is the purest breed
of Arabian horses. Their gene
alogy for 1900 years has been most
strictly preserved. They are de-
rived from Solomon's studs. This
race of horses can bear the greatest
fatigue, can pass days without food,
show undaunted courage in battle,
and when their riders are slain will
carry them to place of safety.
(Niebuhr.) The Kadischi is an
other celebrated race of horses, but
not equal to the Kochlani. Ac-
cording to Burckhardt, the finest
race of Arabian blood horses may
be found in Syria, and of all the
Syrian districts the breed in the
Hauran is the best; but all the
horses of noble breed are not equally
distinguished. Among these there
are only few, perhaps not above
five or six in whole tribe, of the
6rst-class in respect to size, bone,
beauty and action.-Northwestern

The Fastest Walking Horse,

The writer has spent consider
able time recently in examining the
catalogues of the various county
and state fairs of the west, for the
purpose of ascertaining how much
encouragement in the way Of pre-
miums, is offered 70: that most val
liable of gaits, the fast walking
movement, Strange to say, the
tast-walking horse is almost entirely
ignored. Generous premiums are
given to trotting, running, sad
die, and to even the until recently,
despised pacing horses; but the
improvement of the walking gait is
rarely rewarded. The mania for
the trotting action has spread from
the horse centers Of New York and
Kentucky to every county and state
in the Union. The teamster dotes
upon the trotting speed of one or
more of his draft horses; the plow-
man dilates upon the trotting action
of his plow horse; the dealer in
coach horses boasts of their trotting
movement, and even importers Of
Clydesdales and Percherons or Nor
mans boast of their superior trott-
ing action. The fast-walking Ca
pacity is now rarely mentioned as a
merit of any of these grades of
horses, and yet the habit of fast
walking means volumes of praise in
favor OF the horse thus gifted. 1t
is the foundation Of superiority in
all other gaits. The horse that can
walk rapidly, and keep it up over
hill and valley, brings his journey
to an end quicker than if he trots
