THE DYED BEARD.

the accumulated dews OF years of pie!y,

he dyes his beard, he ceases to be an
object OF human esteem. Hefalls from
his pedestal and his chin disappears in
the uire OF popular sickness at :hc

1t is mistake to attempt to set na-
ture bacl twenty or thirty years or get
ahead Of it ten or fifteen years by the
use Of fannie acid and nitrate OF silver
in solution, and the man who does so
| is bound To- sooner Or later become an
| object of general irony. When on Sat
| ursiay evening nc emerges from the
office OF hair-carpentcr with shin
iur bi;ick beard and rcd or flaXen hair,
the obseryant multitude can not help
thinking that his face is not in harElo-
ny with the rest of his head, and that
one Of these days his whiSkers will be
detected in some sort of mischief by
the roach pasted down over his al
ready narrow brow and be delivered up
20 justice. II L man has the misfOr-
tuno to own head of coal-black hair
and L beard OF shiinnering moonlight,
i.e is excusable for trying to average
up his appearance, but when both his
hair ami beard are white with birth or
long standing and he dopes his beard
into rank an,a@onism with his COM
piex!on, he creates the same impress
sion he would be likely to create ii he

There is something deeply pathetic
in the efforts OF q cailow youth to force
the baccilli on his lip to germinate and
bloom forth into Il tiercely raging
moustache. 1t always reminds ME of
the efforts of tho sower to make seed
grow in stony ground, and then he
thinks his moustache has arrived when
it is away down the road, and rubs
some dye on the place where he ex-
poets it TO locate, and iii about two
weeks, wnen it begins to scale Oft, he
looks as ii somebody had struck him
on the snOot with y handful of ireckles
and stuck some Of them fast. The
CeluGcd seeker after hair then shayes
off his freckics and goes about smiling
broaJly and expecting people to re-
mark upon his odd appearance, when
he viii proudly tell them that he has
shaved Oft his iuoustacte, and in about
ten years they will discover that per-
haps he did not lie 20 them in intimat-
ing that he had ore.

k.ov ssm.lnee-s in Yrans,

Liverpool, Feb. IA mutiny occurred
to. day among the lads on the reforma-
tory ship Clarence, which was lying in
the Mersey. At a preconcerted signal
the lads in body attacked the officers
with Delaying pins, FIRE a-ms and other
weapons. The officers drew their re-
volvers and tried in vain to force them
to lay dowu their weapons and return
to t1,eir place. The boys continued
their assault and at last compelled the
offers to seek the shelter Of their cab
ins. The lads then lowered boats, into
which they crowded, and the boats
drifted down the stream with the tide
The Clarehce's officers, after the de-
parture OF the boys made Signals to the
authorities ashore. and soon several
boats filed with police put out from the
shore and called upon the boys to snr
render. The youngsters deeming that
resistance would be useless, give up
and we're taken back to the ship The
ring leaders were placed in irons. Eigh
teen lads and two officers received
wounds in the fight on board. Two
years.ago the lads confined ON the
Clarence set fire to the ship.

iel; YOU frankly thai can scarcely
think Of dozen E3odern French
novels in Which l should not like to
cut out whole passages, sometimes
whole chapters, from E:;lZac to Da1oiet.
Let ms explain myself aad recapitulats
what | consider sins OF The modern
French novel. Ono of these, foru-
nate!y rare, but gaining ground every
day, can be dismissed 1T ouce; mean
the ;silusicn 10 particular kinds of evil
which are so exceptional aId abcor-
nal thst any practical advantage de-
riyable from knowledge of them must
inevitably be utterly outweighcd by
the disadvantage of Introducing into
the mind vague and diseased suspi-
ciors. The other principal sins Of
modern French novelists are, 10 my
mind, first, the presentation OF re-
markable evil without any comment
On the part of the author, Or without
any presentation of remarkable good
10 couuterbalal.cc, by its neral and
aesthetic stimulus, the enervaiing effect
of familiarity with evil. The sight Of
evil is not merely necessary if evil is
to diminish; it is wholesome il it
awakens Indignation; It is good for us
TO maintain cur power OF taking ex-
eeption, OF protesting, Of hating; it is
good for US, in moral matters, to have
the instinct OF battle. Bat this be-
comes impossible if evil is represented
as the sole occupant OF this earth. In
that case we no louger have Anyone to
fight for, and we run the risk OF for
getting how to fight for ourselves. So
much Tor the dcmoraliz,ng effect 0f the
pesSimistic Misrepresentation, or ct ali
events, the representation OF an I'M
fair specimen OF lite. 1t distinctly di-
minishcs our energies fer good. The
other, and l decidedly think even
worse, great sin of French novelists is
their habit of describing the physical
sides of love or, CT what peop:e call
love, whether it be socially legitimate
or socially illegitima.e. Such descrip-
tions are absolutely unnecessary for
the psychological completeness nf
their work. since they drag the mild
and the intellectual emotions into re-
giops below tEeir co-niZance. and
cram them with impressions which
they can never digest, which remain
as mere foul nuisance: besides, by
stimulating instincts which require
not stimulation, but repression, they
entirely betray the mission OF ail In
tellectual work, whch IS 10 develop
the higher sides of our nature 1T the
expense of the lower. There is not
single description o5 this kind winch
might not most advanta goously be
struck out, and could have gone on
my knees TO FiauDert 10 supplicate
him to suppress whole passages and
pages OF ''Mme. Bovary," which l
consider Il most moral and useful
novel. -FernoN Lee, jss The Con.empc-
