HOW Bismnrck pronnscd.

AT the time Of her marriage the
girl who is now Bismarck's wife re-
lirouisheG name which would not
have nisbeCOme the heroine of q Sab
Ballad-vOn Puttkammer, writes the
Countess Wilhelmina in a sketch of
the Princess Bismarck in the Deem
Der Ladies' Home Journal. The Frau
lein Johanna was q most charmingly
sweet and modest country maiden
in spite of her n8ne-when at the
Wedding OF one of her friends at
which she was bridesmaid, she met
young Herr Otto Won Bismarck, q
strspping. dissipated. high-handed
young dandy of thirty.one, with a
reputation for fire-eating and t1irta-
tions which would scarcely have dis
graced Kentucky colonel OF twice
Ills years. These two young people,
as RosaIind says, mo sooner met
than they looked, no sooner looked
than they loved" Hence it
was that immediately on his return
from the wedding young Otto wrote
to the parental Puttkammers, with
whom, by-the-way, he had not the
slightest acquaintance. demanding
the hand of the Fraeulein Johanna In
marriage. The paterpal Puttkammer
seems to have been somewhat of a
diplomatist, for without committing
himself to either con sent or refusal,
after learning from his daughter that
she cared for young Otto, he wrote
inviting that estimable young gentle
man to visit him. Preparations were
made to have his reception one of be-
coming solemuity and dignity; but
the effect was rather spoiled by young
Bismarck the moment he alighted GO
ing up to his sweetheart and kissip 9
her sOundly in presence of a number
of guests. The immediate effect of
this embarrassing and shocking be,
havior was the prompt announcement
OF the betrothal, which was followed
a year later, by tie marriage.

The Antiquity ofrhc Beard.

From the Baltimore American.
In early times it is known the bearc

sign of strength and an ornament
to manhood, and therefore was care.
fully cherished and even regarded as
sacred. Among the Turks. Arabs
aud Persisns, as also other Oriental
nations, the removal of the beard
was and is yet, to a very great exten t,
regarded as q severe punishment and
extreme degradation. This may be
well illustrated by the story told il
if Samuel, Y. The more orthodox

of dressing the the beard. 1t is com

during the operation. The hairs that
fall out are then carefully picked up
and preserved tor entom Oment with
their owner when ne dies; frequently
he himself deposits them beforehand
ia his future tomb. The ancient
Jews did not dye their boards, and
the Turks do so very rarely, but the
practice was common among the
Arabs and Persians, among the for
mer because the color black WAS
hateful to Mahomet, being the color
preferred by the Persians. The Kings
of the latter people wove in their
boards threads of gold. The Turks
and Jews anointed them with per

day, q neglected beard as sign of
mourning. The Turks, unlike the
Jews, occasionally clipped their
boards. The Egyptians shaved their
beard, except in times of mourning,
but the custom was not universal.
In Greece the beard was regularly
worn until the time of Alexander the
Great, who ordered shaving, that the
boards of the soldiers might not be
laid hold of by their enemies in
battle. Shaving was introduced by
the Romans about 800 B. c., but PJiny
says Scipio Africsnus was The first
of them to shave every day. Subse
quently the first day of shaving was
regarded by the Romans as the en-
trance upon manhood, and as the
occasion of a festival. Under Hadrian
the custom was again to let the beard
grow, and il so continued until Con.
stantine came to the throne. The
wearing of the beard has in all ages

The furnace fire should be shaken
down and Taked perfectly clear in the
morning. A few shovelfuls of coal
should be put on and all the draughts
opeued, writes Maria Parloa in her
department. in the December Ladies'
Home Journal The ashes should
then be taken up. AS soon as the
coal begins to burn we'll and the fire
looks clear at the bottom, put in
enough coal to come almost to the
top of the fire pot. Keep the droughts
open until all the gas has burned off:
then close them, and later, il the fire
be too hot, open the checks. Except
in extremely cold weather this is o II
the attention that ought to be neces-
sary through the day. The fire must
be raked down and fresh coal or Gin
ders put on in the evening. but 8

the night, unless the draughts have
been open the greater part OF the
dsy.
On an extremely cold day it may he
necessary to have the draughts open
q part of the time and some coal put
on at noon.
All the clinkers should be removed
when the fire is raked down in the
morning. The water pan should he
replenished one a day.
If the furnace fire be allowed TO
burn to a white heat it will be ruined
for that day unless more coal be put
on little later. The coId-air boxes
must admit enough air to drive the
hot air through the house.
