pass through be likely to yield a fair

That the Suez canal was at first a
failure and now a success, does not
answer the question, because the cir

an analogous. There Is no region in
the western world to which the Pan

Mustacheless Men of the Bar--BefOre
th5 War.

| SAO " VA
"Up to the time of the breaking
out of the war it was the universal
custom for men to have clearly shaven
faces. ThiS was the case with the rich
and poor alike. A lab0rpr with a
mustache would be the butt of his
| associates. Military and naval men
alone appeared with the upper lip
covering. l suppose they had sort
OF idea that it made them appear
more ferociOus and was better suited
to their calling. II was the style to
he mu-tacheIeSS. A few men wore
full boards, but they had the hair re-
moved from the upper lip. The girls
looked upon a young man with IA
mnsiache as fop, aud they did not
like him. How different the case is
nav! That is. / have been-toldl thai
the lover Of the present day is better
receiyed the more magnificent the
mustache is.
Here is book Of eminent men of
the period, covering the years from
1854 to 1858. There are the steel en-
! cravings of more than fifty men Ot
that period. Take President Frank
lin Pierce'a cabinet. There is James
| Guthrie, of Kentucky J. c.. DObhin,
of North Carolina James Campbell,
ol Pennsy lvania Jefferson Davis, of
Mississippi w. l.. Marcy, of New
York Robert McCIelland and Caleb
| Gushing. Not one of these men had
ii musIache, and Davis only had ii
| tuft of hair rpOn his throat. So it
was with all the rest. They were
clean shaVen so far as regards the
upper lip. Take some of the leading
men of our bar to-day, especially
those who were in practice years ago.
| They still adhere to the custom of the
English court. Attorney General
| BreWSter's face has not a hiar upon
it. Richard McMurtrit'S is clean.

BulIitt, George w, Biddle, and host
of Others who are in active practice
cannot be reproved upon the score
that mustaches tend to impede The
wave of sound from their throats and
lips.
"It was never compulsory toappear
mustacheless. Fashion decreed it,
and every one followed the edict o.
the tickle dame. During the war
period men became careless in the
excitement. Thousands went to the
front and had no chance to shave, so
gradually the old style of being clean
ly shaven died out. l hardly know
what some men would do to-day
without their mustaches. They pull
upon them, comb them, and give the
lip-covering considerable part of
their leisure time. Take the youth
Of the present generation. What is
more amusing than young man
struggling with faint covering for
his upper lip? Why, if Chief Justice
Cockburn could get hold of him no
doubt he would mete out justice to
him. ."--EhiLddeLphia Record.

Manure may be proftably drawn on

is frozen. The more finely it is spread
over the surface the better the effect.
a bushcl to the square rod has made Il
difference Of nearly two quarts of grain,
or at the rate Of ten bushels per acre.
This makes the manure give about two
bushels Of grain for each two-horsc load
Of manure. But this is not by far the
only benefit from Winter top-drcssing.
Under each particle Of manure Il clover
seed will make vigorous growth and
permanently enrich tie soil. Only fine
ly-rotted manure will produce such re-
suits. If very coarse, the manure will
fall in heaps and partially smother the
wheat, especially if well covered with
snow. 49, Tx
