Nationality i'm Boards.

An observant friend who had been
examining a collection of faces repre-
senting large number of the public
men in the United States made the
following general conclusions in re-
gard to national types in the cutting
of the beard, which contain more than
a grain of truth. "The simple NOUS
tache, with the rest of the face clean
shaven, is the prevailing American
type" he SAID THE old-time Yankee
chin whisker, like that of the tradi-
tional Uncle Sam, is no longer the ma
tional cut. In the same way the old
French type of imperial, or heavy
moustache and long goatee, has given
way in France to the present type of a
close-cut full beard trimmed to double
points on the chin. The German and
Russian national type are heavy, full
boards, parted at the middle of the
chin. The English type is a short
cropped moustache, with small square
side growths. The general south Eu-
ropean type of Spain and Italy is
either an entirely clean-shaven face or
else very small moustache and goatee
crowded close about the mouth. -,

Jokes on Gen. Hunton.

A couple of right good stories have
come in concerning Gen. Eppa Hun
ton and his son Eppa. Jr., both now
occupying such eleYated positions tina!
a joke has to fly pretty high to reach
them, says the Washington Critic.
Some years ago, shortly after the
general had admitted his brilliant
young son to partnership in his law
business at Warrenton, the general
met an old farmer friend. who made
many inquiries about himself and his
family. The general told him of his
sons promotion.
''Go way, gen'P' said the old fellow,
go away! You don't mean to tell me
that boy is your law partnerP"
'.fes. do" replied the general,
with smile.
What, himP" continued the old fell
low in astonishment. Him? WV,
gen'l., only short time ago he was
little shaver runnin' around playin'
marvels in the road and gettin' into
all sorts of mischief. l reckon we
must be gettin' old, gen1."
Yes, yes" said the general with a
sigh.
Yes. we're gettin' DID," repeated
the old farmer. Then, feeling it in-
cumbent upon him to pay the gen
erals son some kind of compliment,
he said,
Well. l must say, gen1, the young
man has got good teeth"
The other one goes thus:
Your son has been making some
fine speeches this summer, general, :"
said one.
$50 hear" responded the general,
with pardonable pride.
They were excellent speeches; very
superior indeed" said another.
Il don't know" replied the general,
prouder than ever. 81 never heard
any of them"
They do say, general" added a
third, that he can make a better
speech than his father can,'
"Here! Hold on" exclaimed the
general. rising excitedly at this turn
OF the compliments. You'll be max
ing blamed fool of that boy with
your fiattery."

An Anecdote or M'Kenzie.

They were talking oyer the report
that ex-Congressman Jim Mckenzie
of Kentucky, might probably receive
the nomination for the vacant mission
to Mexico. By '.they" is meant lit.
tie group of representatives who had
gathered in the House cloak-room after
adjournment to-day. The group in.
cluded Payson of lllinpis, Rurnps OF
Missouri, McKenley of OHIO. and Capt.
Hassler, the appointment clerk of the
interior department.
Jim Mckenzie" said Mr.. Payson,
sis one of the brightest men ! have
ever met in public life, l remember
away back in the forty-sixth congress
that Mckenzie introduced bill for q
public building at Paducah which had
been favorably reported by the COM
mittee. 1t was placed on the calendar
where in all probability it would re.
main forever unless some extraordi-
nary effort Was made to bring it before
the house.
mckenzie tried repeatedly to catch
the speakers eye, but for some reason
Randall chose to ignore him. The
end OF the session was gradually draw
ing near and Mckenzie began to grow
desperate.
lone day while the regular order OF
business was under consideration Nc
Kenzie startled the House by rising to
his feet and shouting: Mr.. Speaker,
l rise to question of the highest priv
ilegeT
will state his question, answered Ran
dali, turning in McKenzie's direction.
My question, sir, involves a mat
ter OF the highest privilege-the right
of a member to his seat
''This rather sensational announce
ment drew upon him the attention of
the entire house. The silence which
followed was broken again by McKen-
gle, who continued:
h'l ask unanimous consent to take
from the calendar house bill No. A.
796 and pass it under q suspension of
the rules. .
1.-The calendar was hastily consult
ed. when it was discovered that house
bill No. II, 796 provided for the cree,
ton Of public building at Paducah,
KY. Randall was furious with rage.
The gentleman from Kentucky
forgets himself, he began, when Nc
kenZie, with comical seriousness, in
terrupted him.
~ spoke the plain, unvarnished
truth when said that the passage of
that bill involved the right to my seat.
II ] don't succeed in securing the nee
essary appropriation Tneed never ex-
pect to return to congress again
''At this sally the house burst into a
broad roar of laughter. whereupon
Frank Hiscock, over on the Republi-
can side. begged that Mr. McKenzie's
request be complied with, and that
consent be given to pass
the bill. There were no objections,
and within 60 seconds Mckenzie Sc

Didn't Stay Married.

A year ago John Henry Lawson and
Sarah Clawfield, of Bellaire, Mich,
went before a justice of the peace and
were married. They quarrelled and q
few days ago agreed to be divorced
walking sight miles Saturday to the
old justice who had married them.
He was at home, and the dissatisfied
couple making their desires known,
the justice put on his judicial look and
and sternly said:
''Unjine hands"
As they We're sitting ten feet apart
this was hardly necessary.
Now, John Henry Lawson, You

and you Sarah Jane Lawson Clawtield.

A like oath was administered to her.

promise that you will in future do
nothing to modest or make John Hem

Jane.
Stepping to the door, and gazing
around the adjoining country, the
Justice loudly said:
Hear We! Hear ye! Hear We! If
any man has ought to say wny this
couple should not be 'unjined asunder,
let him forever stand forth and say it
Or hold his peace.
No objection being made, he solemn
y concluded:

of Michigan and my official oath, l

Books for the West.

Every indication leads to the belief
that eastern publishers are giving
more and more thought to the problem
as to the best means by which the
needs Of the hundreds of thousands of
book-readers " est of the Allegheny
mountains can be discovered and met.
The demand from the west for the best
literature is already great and should
show steady increase each year. 1t
Is probably within the mark to esti-
mate the total average circulation of
the seven principal magazines pub
lished in this city at $4,000 copies
each month. The total for the year
chen. would be 100000 copies. 1t
would be vastly interesting to know
what percentage of this number 90 to
she west. The figures would be much
larger, we venture to say, than most
EASTERN people imagine Book Buyer.

BIN Nye's Literary Habits.

Nv literary methods are simple. ]
do none of mv writing while under the
influence of liquor. / state this in
order to correct a wrong impression
which the public seems to have found
after reading my work.
/ devote the forenoon to thought. lr
the afternoon l take my thinker
through the park in perambulator.
In the evening l think some more.
I eat plain food when at home, but
soar above it while visiting others.
Rather than appear rude while the
guest of eminent people eat the best
of food with impunity. and act as
though 1 liked it. Wealthy and
prominent people are SO sensitive
that eat what they set before me and
say nothing.
/ read all the New York papers in the
morning before rising. then rise,
feeling refreshed, and go down stairs
where jerk a low refrain out of the
furnace. By that time the evening
papers arrive. | read them Thought
fully. / then think over what l have
read.
eat almost anything with perfect
impunity, except health food. That is
the only thing 1 ever have trouble
with. Health food will send my pulse
down to 48 in less than an hour. A
man must have strong constitution
to stand up against food which is al
ready prepared, so that all he has to
do is to swallow it.
exercise great deal in the open
air. In summer l follow lawn
mower around for an hour each day,
and in winter 1 like to hunt rabbits
cross country, or take spin on the
elevated railroad.
/ keep a note book, in which / write
all my best thoughts. then put the
book in q side pocket of my coat and
give coat to poor man whose ad'
/ dress do not know.
! Fgive !, great deal to charity, but
try to keep it out of the papers as far
as possible.
When the weather is such that can
not exercise in the open air ! have a
/ pair OF dHmb-bells at my lodgings,
Which ! Hse for holding the door
open. / also belong to an athletic
club, and pair Of Indian clubs with
red handles. owe much OF my robust
health to this.
| / do most of my writing in a sit
ting posture or in an autograph album
When am not engaged in Thought
am employed in recovering from its
effects. am very genial and pleasanl
to be thrown amongst, and frequently
submit to all kinds of indignities
especially from people to whom ] an

thus cause them pain,
keep large pair OF brass knuckles
which I.wear on my feet while riding

vocates the examination by veterinary
inspectors, from time to time, of every
herd of cattle in the State, in order to
secure the destruction of all animals

quarantine of those Liable TO cause
contagious disease. Prof Albert
Leeds says that official inspection
should be extended so as to include

Skilled and scientific efforts in this di-
