Remarkable though it may seem to
us the present day, it is nevertheless q
fact that two generations ago in Puri-
tanical Massachusetts, it was con-
sidered a moral, religious and social sin
to wear beard, and men were tor
tured, prosecuted and regarded as out
casts, loathseme creatures, if they but
presumed to walk Immediately behind
a set of whiskers. Two men there
were, however, who defied public senti-
ment, and for the sake of a beard, suf-
fered many prosecutions. They were
Silas, or "Old jew" Lampson and
Joseph, or "Old jew" Palmer, both of
whom lived in Worcester county, Mass.
Both of these men were eccentric be-
ings and the children were taught to
regard them as ogTes. Lampson was
a religious monomaniac, who based his
ideas upon the teachings of Christ and
whose life he tried to emulate. In
early life he had no religion, but when
well along in the thirtys joined the Bap-
fist Church, Up to this time there had
been nothing eccentric in his habits,
but now he let his beard grow, and
ever afterward he dressed in white.
Whenever he went among the people
he was stared at and was run after by
NA-C anu WIS COuSlQSEG0 IullY
as much of a curiosity as an elephant.
He was by some regarded as a fool, by
others as lunatic and all because he
wore beard. He had hurled at him
all kinds of vile epithets and was even
stoned
"Old Jew" Palmer was subjected to
the same kind of treatment as his
brother beard-wearer. The public
were so bitterly incensed against him
and his beard that one day he was
seized by four men who had with them
shears, razors, and lather, who intended
to relieve him of his hirsute adornments
and scatter them to the four winds of
heaven. But Palmer was a giant in
strength and for time fought off his
assailants, stabbing two of the attack
ing party with knife. He was fin
ally overpowered and for q long time
held in jail. After being released his
prosecutors again resumed business.
But after while the beard began to
grow in favor and Palmer lived to see
the day when the man who couldn't
grow one was looked upon with pity.
Palmer Is buried in Leominster, Mass,
and on his tombstone are inscribed
the words. Prosecuted for wearing
the beard"

The Pirate Rird.

Ex-Gov. William G.. Sterett, of Dali
las, Tex, says: while on a fishing
and hunting expedition on the Atlantic
coast in North Carolina a few days
since my attention was attracted by
the shrill and frantic cries of seagnll
Looking upward saw a bird resem-
bling a hawk strike the gull under its
claws, when down came a fish and the
pirate bird after it. The fish had not
gone ten feet before the pirate bird had
it in his stomach. Then he scared up
ward with lightning rapidity and de-
seended equally as quick, struck the
screaming gull on its back with such
force that the contents of its stomach
were forced out of its mouth and the
pirate caught it in the air as it fell. At
this point took aim at the pirate with
my shotgun and brought him down. -

On English railroads bar and refresh
ment counter is prominent feature of
every station of note, and has been
wrought to degree of importance that
Is wholly unknown under similar con-
ditiOns in America. It is a great con-
venience to travellers, and conduces to
much drinking and to eating that is of
q character quite as favorable to dys-
pepsia as anything known in America.
The country stations look for the
most part like comfortable homes of
favored and stalwart station masters.
There Is generally some space about
them that can be used as a garden, and
this, however small, is frequently kept
gay with flowers. Two of the great
companies offer rewards for the best
kept stations and signal boxes, and on
these lines fowery stations are natur-
ally most common, but on the other
lines you may often see attempts to get
rid of the inherent hideousness that
clings to a railway. The usual garden
is a narrow strip between the platform
for passengers and the inclosing rail
ing. 1t is enacted by Parliament that
no post, rail or other obstacle shall
come nearer than six feet from the edge
of the platform, and this makes it
necessary to inclose quite a wide space.
Between the six feet of platform and the
fence is the station masters garden.
The flowers that he grows differ accord
ing to the soil of the district In a rich
clay he will have standard rose trees
as the principal feature; in O warm,
light soil his strong point may be the
chrysanthemums tied back against the
palings. But as his object is to have
plenty of color all the year round, you
will generally find that the main part
of the border is filed with fresh plants
in each season, such as the gardener
uses for his spring and summer beds.

He Sold his Ideas.

James s. Goodwin, who was run
over and killed near Mamaroneck,
Conn, by a train, has been described
as an artist. though he never drew a
sketch. What he really did was to
furnish his ideas to welI-known artists,
who found them so vital and so pointed
that they always paid him literally for
them. He was a really remarkable
man, and many of the best-known ar
fists are indebted TO him to a great ex-
tent for their popularity. His income
from the sale of his ideas was In the
neighborhood of s., 900 8 year.
