that OF drawing together. In nearly
every neighborhcod there ia some one
who knows something oil the clements OF
this fine and valuable art. But il not

learned from them, If one only has sharp
ewes. A oood plan is for all the mem
hers OF the family to draw picture OF
some one thing-a chair, or stove, pile
OF books, dog, or cat Or, one may
sit as a "model' and give the others
twenty minutes in which to make a
sketch. This often produces great mer-
riment, and ii persevered in it sometimes
happens that some member of the family
develops real talent for drawing.
The twilight hour may be improved by

obliged to make his description as inter-
osting as possible 10 the circle. This
exercise tends 10 accuracy, il you please,

One of the handsomest boards in the senate
is worn by Senator Hawley, who came into
the chamber the other day, pulling at it ner-
vously and yet joyously, all on account of a
first born. Carleton, of Georgia, has a Ma
poleonic beard. Senator Chace, of Rhode
Island, in his mild, inoffensive side whiskers
looks the aIniabie Quaker lie is. Senator
Henderson, Of Nebraska, and Representative
Gibson, of Maryland, have strong and hand
some boards of the same type as that OF Sem
ator Pasco, Of Florida, one of the handsom-
est men from the south. The beard Of Bayne,
of Pennsylvania, looks SO much like that of
Adams, of Chicago, that the men are
often mistaken for each other Bow
den, of Virginia, is the only man in
Congress who takes the whole bill OF faro in
whiskers, wearing goatee, mustache and
side bars. II there are any more strikingly
individual boards in Congress than those
worn by Senators Ingalls, and Wade Hamp-
ton cannot fiud them. Ingalls, makes you
think of wise and file and HsSnpton'S of an

developed q typical beard, but the south has
done so, most clearly and decidedly. The
striking characteristics of the southern beard
is a black mustache of coarse hair, black in
early life, but early growing grizzled or
wholly white, and always dropping and form
ing half moon over the mouth. Good speci-
mems of this type may be found in Senator
Butler of South Carolina, whose uncle was
the hero Of the battle of Lake Erie; Breckin-
ridge, of Arkansas, who has the perfect Dixie
mustache; Gaines and O'Ferrall, of Virginia;
McClammy, of North Carolina, and Butler,
of Tennessee, who arc among the most un-
handsome men in congress; AicMlllin, Of
Tennessee, who is often called to the chair by
Speaker Carlisle, and Walker, of Missouri.
Dozens of others might be mentioned In
deed, there are few mustaches from the south
which do not drcop and form the half moon.
There must be something in the air and
sunshine of the Pacific coast which promotes
hirsute growth. AS a section the coast has a
moro lu1uriant beard than any other part of
the country. OF the fifteen representatives
and senator's from California, Oregon, Nevada
and Washington territory not one has a
bcardleSs face and nearly oil are plentifully
adorned. Oregon is not the greatest state III
the Union, by long way, but it sends to the
United States senate more beard than any
other. Senators Dolph and Mitchell have
the largest boards in the senate, and they are
both very proud of them. Congressman
Hermann, from the same state, also
has an abundant growth on his chin
md lip. Nevada is next in hirsute
honors in the senate. Senator Jones has
large, rich chin whiskers, while his colleague,
Senator Stewart, is the patriarch OF the

From the south come Senators Colquitt, Cor

IN congress. 1t is long, wide, thick, ana as
white as any apple blossoms you ever saw.
He trims it about an inch below his lower lip,
and trims it himself. A barber has not
touched his face for half a century. The old
mans hand is getting little unsteady, and
the result is that often his beard is left higher
on one side of his face than on the other.
The longest beard In congress, by actual
measurement, is worn by Senator Mitchell,
of Oregon, though it is close race between
him and Pennington, the new senator from
Delaware. Thomas, of Kentucky, and
Cowles, Of North Carolina, have enormous
boards, and about the fercest whiskers in
congress are worn by little Joe Wheeler, of
Alabama, who weighs less than 100 pounds,
and who was one Of the most dashing and
successful cavalry officers in the Confed-
crate ranks. Abbott, Of Texas, has a huge
black beard, about the blacklist mass of hir-
suite in congress, and his colleague, Mr.. Ian
ham, who represents the largest congress
sional district in the United States, ono
which contains no fewer than ninety-fve
counties, with its chief town, FL Paso, 500

acter by whiskers Surely this is the coming
art; but until it shall have been developed
and perfected | shall not pretend to tell the
people of the country what kind Of servants
they have in congress by the whiskers they
wear or do not wear. l have, however, been
making a study of the boards of senators
and congressman, and find it a most interest
ing pastime.
What effect has public life on hirsute9 Is
there a sectional or local whisker? Has the
race Of beardless men run out?
Public life has an effect on boards The
men who sit in the halls Of congress take bet
ter care of their boards than any other body
of men in this country. They are careful Of
their personal appearance, as If is but natural
for men TO be in such conspicuous posts, de-
string the good opinions of their constitu-
ents who may call to see them, and the target
all DAY long for hundreds Of pairs of bright
eyes feminine. The barber shops in the re-
firing rooms Of house and senate are much
used. Even the careless, homespun men of
the south and west are more careful Of their
facial adOrnments here than is their wont at
home. Sectionally speaking, the men of the
north have finer boards, better cared for,
than their friends from the soutb. In tex
ture, the southern beard is inclined to be
coarse and stiff. But at the same time it de-
velops greater unity, something more like
characteristic or type, than tho beard from
the northern states. This is easily explained.
The men from the south are more clearly of
the same race and blood; there is no great
Rdmixture of foreign stock; they are
perhaps as class more distinctively native
and American than the legislators from the
north, excepting the New Englanders and
New Workers, who are largely of Puritan
stock l cannot discover that the north has
Wichita eagle., 1888-12-28

There are small mustaches, too; mustaches
hardly worth speaking Of Probably Tom
Reed has the most 1imsy excuse for mus
tache of any man in public life. 1t is not
mustache at all, merely little bit of out
cropping fuzziness, good deal like the baby
like plush which adorns part of his over
grown head. 1t is a lucky thing for Reed
that the mustache does not mako the man.
Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, is not much
better off in the mustache line. He has just
enough Of a growth on his upper lip to
initiate the eyebrow, and the wonder is he
does not cut it off. Senator Spooner,
by the way, is another example of
the great possibilities Of private sec
retaryship, of which we hear SO much of late.
He was private secretary to Lucius Fairchild
when that one armed soldier was governor of
Wisconsin. Now Spooner has influence with
the preSident-elect, and is ready to back his
old chief for commissioner of pensions-fur-
