A YEARS COMEDY.

Twas april, when the brown birds sing
And woods with bursting buds are gray
We met-and watched the face of Spring
Growing more lovely every day.
Before tie woods were green or half
the blue eggs Matched, one sunny morning
we found that we were made TO laugi
You at my love, at your scorning.
when Summer with her rose aplaze
Passed over all the trarced earth
We found the sumptuous burning day
Too stately for such trivial nrth;
And ere July had well passed ty
We fell in love with melancholy,
And dreamed that we were made to sigh.
at my woe, you at my folly.
We walked where woods were red and brown.
when Autumn crowned the hills with gold;
And while the leaves came rustling down,
Loves story. once again, was told
Septembers sun was gold above
The full eartn's fruitful, golden dover;
We knew that We were made to hove
to love you-and YOU your power.
But When through paths made dead with snow,
By gray-brown lche recovered trees,
One happy day CHANGED to 90
Under blue sky and biting breeze,
You slipped-I turned-a hand to give
A hand to kiss-the play was over.
we vowed that We were made to live,
for my Love-you for your lover.

Not long ago while in shop on

A pretty woman, evidently well salts

TEARS.

Ny loves gray eyes were like the winter sea-
And like the sea were full Of br-ny mist;
For, ON, I'D pressed her cheek m Sad farewell
And tears oer-ri.n the place where l had
kissed
No words could tell the depth of that deep
woe,
But silence held us as The tears ran down
Flom 'neath Tic curtains OF her downcast
eyes,
And O. or the soft fields OF her wedding-gown.
And my faint heart was bu daned with its
fears
To think left my own dear love in tears!
My loves bright ewes were like the summer
sea-
And damp with tears as wet with
foam,
For. oh, across the long, wh re sands she came
To give me greeting and lie. me home!
No words alone could mea ,urc all her JOY,
But tears came like a sudden bright sun
o shower
And washed the sorrow from TIL upli ted eyes
As ran-drops drench the dust from OF tho
flower,
And my glad heart was lig'!tcnel Of its fears
When once again found my lcve in tears!

difficult 10 ascertain Mhel the very
personal custom nf pniiing the nose
superseded that of pulling the beard;
but it most probably WIS adopted as a
sufficiently strong eguivaiv=ss when
the chin became naked and close
shaver. and so afforded NO handle for
an intended Insult. ln the reign Of
James Ii. as much ss goo, $40 was paid
by William Cavencsis.a Errl of Devon
shire, for this treatment of a person at
court
That there may be an element of
danger in the beard we gather from q
story, given in "Plutarch's Lives" Of
Alexander. who caused his Macedonian
soldiers to be clipped. lest their enc
mics should make Use of their boards
as handles in the fight. Cesar has left
it upon record that ancient Britons
wore no boards. though they allowed
hair to grow upon the upper lip; and
Strabo bears testimony of an opposite
sort, writing Of Scilly islanders in his
time, whose custom it was to grow
boards. goat fashion, in point below
the chin.
A strong proof of the value set upon
this part of their personal adol nment
by men is found in the fact that. when
the Normans sought 10 compel the En-
glish to shave. rs they did themselves,
many chose rather to abandon their
country than to lose their VIII skers.
That this form OF pride was not con-
fined to comp, rAtive!y noderp days
we know from St. Chrysoston who
tells us that Persian Kings wore long
boards intern oven with golden TIN eads,
while slaves in the same country were
shaved as sign of servi;nde.
The argument commonly adopted BY
those who do not shave is that mature
knows best;" and although many in
all ages have ignored this maxim, or
contradicted it by renewing more or
less the hairs upon :hcir face. it seems
to have occurred to none. except to
that most subtle race. the Chinese, to
supplement the gifts Of nature and to
attach with considerable skill false
tufts of hair to the smooth surface of
their chins.
Some humors OF The beard may be
gathered from early sources. In
"Epigrams Cor the Muses. Recreation"
1910, we find:
"Thy beard is long, better it would thee fit
To have "a shorter be- ri and longer wit
That the iarge ans. rrofuse beard. as
worn by Cran:c:, knox. Cardinal Pole

Nervous Effects of Applause.

The effect of applause upon artists is
often quoted as due to their nervous sus-
ceptibility. The fact is overlooked that it
is all unmistakable evidence Of approval,
and is as such desired. Artists do not
relish such expressions on the same prin-
ciple that our heather visitor delights in
the tom. tom, or our own civilized small
boy in the GLORIOUS Fourth" racket. 1t
is the direct medium of communication
across the footlights. But that artists dc
possess nervous susceptibilities of a most
pronounced order is very generally the
case, and is point in their favor as indi-
eating the temperament and tastes of
genius, even though it does not insure the
possession of its creative force. A highly
strung nervous organization may, and
usually does, introduce into the character
of its possessor much unexpressed pathos,
and is, therefore, less comfortable than a
more stolid nature; but it is also more
prompt and active, and the world owes
much Of its stirring music to the instru-
ments it holds at concert pitch.-Lilian
Olcott's Letter.

SunstroI<e BY Electricity.

A highly interesting and suggestive ac-
ccunt of what may be called sunstroke by
electricity was recently printed in The st.
James Gazette. At the Creuzot foundry
in France an electric furnace is used in
which the light equals that of 100, 900
candles, and the heat is such that steel
melts like butter in a few seconds. Now
people standing at a distance of few
yards feel no heat, a thermometer five
yards away does not indicate much in
crease of temperature. Yet a subtle in
huence is at work, and spectator who re-
mains for an hour or two is said to ex-
perience "a burning sensation, with more
or less pain in the neck, face and forehead,
the skin at the same time assuming a cop
perry red tint. Later symptoms are head
ache and sleeplessness. Afterwards the
skin Of the face gradually peels off in
broad flakes, while the complexion is left
of a fine brick color" The symptoms are
those of continued exposure to hot, bright
sunlight. In extreme cases they are those
of sunstroke, though the only apparent
agent has been intense light.
AS to this it must be remembered that the
quality Of radiant heat is to pass through
the air without appreciably raising its
temperature. When it meets calorific
body that body is heated, as illustrated in
a room warmed by glowing fire. The
air may not be warmer than so dogs,
while the furniture is warm to the touch,
yet no sense Of chilliness is experienced,
because the body and its clothes have the
property of absorbing the heat thrown out
from the fire. In the same way the in
tense heat of the electric focus may exert
it's influence at distance. The value Of
the observation, if it Is correctly reported,
lies in its suggestion as to the way In
which sunstroke of the indicated type is
produced.-Public Opinion.

What DIR. Titus DIunson Coan Says.

In the matter of eating the lecturer said
that the notion accepted by thousands
that we must leave the table hungry Is
nonsense and rubbish. An ascetic is just
as bad as a glutton, and both by their
conduct pave the road to disease and dis
ability. DR.. Coan didn't think much OF
vegetarians. He believed we were born
to eat meat. For consumptives he recon-
mended pure air, milk, butter, starchy
foods, sUimulants and food rich in fats.
People with liver complaints must let
sugar, starcby foods and fats alone.
Nervous people should eat fish, meats and
milk. Folks in the professional line and
brain workers must have lots Of meat,
fish, milk and vegetables.
The announcement was made that we
have few gluttons in this country because
nearly everybody is on such dead rush.
Milk, boiled, fresh and SKINNED, or with
certain share of lime water and koumyss
were cracked up, and young and old,
nervous and dyspeptic people were told to
drink milk in either of these forms. New

Run on a "WiIdcato Bank.

When the banks did not want to redeem
their notes they would take only one bill
at time, and on such occasions a long
line of men would be formed awaiting
their turn. If man went up with 81 900
the teller would not redeem it in lump,
as the law allowed them to redeem in SIS
amounts, and would make the holder pre-
sent it bill at time. When the bill was
handed to him he would turn it over, look
at it in every way, smell it and feel it. and
finally picking up gold coin and exam
lining it, would turn it over to the holder
of the notes, when he would be given an
other bill and go through the same move
ments. A man with 81 900 in small bills
could in that way keep back line of men
for full business day.-Globe-D Democrat
