The Latest Cut In Beards.

The pointed beard, which has for so
long time held popular favor, is no
longer the thing of fashion that it was.
''The pointed beard" says M. Henri
Poujol. an authority. has certain ad-
vantages over all others. and that is the
reason why it has SO long been popular.
1t is style of beard that was invented
by King Henry LII, of France. It re-
quires less trimming and care than any
other, and therefore in this busy coun-
try it has been widely adopted. But it
must go.
The new beard resembles the one now
about to be discarded in some respects.
1t is like pointed beard with the point
cut off. 1t is very thin and closely cut
on the cheeks. 1t is peculiar fact that
the adoption of this style after discard
ing the other is but repetition of his
tory. After Henry III had made the
pointed beard so fashionable the DUO de
Guise introduced the present beard.
The Due de Guise. as you will remem-
ber, was the instigator of the Huguenot
massacre on st. Bartholomew Day. He
lived in the Sixteenth century and was
assassinated in his forty-third year

At half past they went into the din

Fires in English Mansions.

The Importance of providing private
appliances for the extinction of fires in
mansions is gradually becoming recog-
nized by country gentlemen, for although
the nearest town may be equipped with
powerful engines, the time occupied in
sending for these and in their returning
is usually SO considerable as to render
their aid almost useless. Lord Brassey
has recently been anxious for the safety
of his house at Battle, near Hastings,
and after seeking advice from an ex-
,perienced engineer he has had reser-
voir constructed under his lawn holding
over 10000 gallons of water, whence a
powerful steam fire engine will draw
water and throw it in enormous vol
umes over the mansion. A private fire
brigade is also in course of formation,
composed of the gardeners and other
workmen on the estate. Tit

1t is reported that the proposed use of
fbrelia. as it is termed-made from COM
mon flax strawlas IA substitute for cot
ton, is receiving serious consideration.
By the process of production the mate
rial referred to is reduced to short
staple, very closely resembling cotton or
wool. and, it is claimed, well adapted for
use with either in the manufacture OF
goods by the machinery now in use, and
when SO used is said to oadd materially
to the value of the product.
1t is the opinion of experts who have
investigated the matter that woolen
and cotton manufacturers are among
those to be especially advantaged by the
article, It being adapted readily to their
use. The 6brous manufacturers are con
fined to two processes, differing entirely
IN that one uses short staples, or cottor
and wool. while the other utilizes long
staples, like flax, hemp, silk and jute.

We have been shown By Mr.. and Mrs
John Graves unique and interesting
relic of the civil war in the shape Of q
half gallon jar of peach preserves which
were made in 1869. The relic was given
to Mr.. and Mrs. Graves, Oct. 81, 1891, by
Mrs. Wash Roberts, of Rocheport, and
its history is as follows: In 1851 John
Roberts Joined the Confederate army
along with Ben, Sam and Jack Ray,
brothers of Mrs. Roberts. In 1852 this
lady and her sister-in-law, Mrs. John
Roberts, were together putting up pre-
serves, jellies, etc. They filed some jars
which they agreed not to open until their
brothers and husbands should return
safe from the war.
It turned out that John Roberts was
killed, and as they did not all come back,
the ladies did not open their preserves.
Time rolled on Mrs. John Roberts moved
to California, where she married again
and became the mother of several chill
dren and is now dead. Recently Mrs.
Wash Roberts concluded she would send
some of these preserves to these children,
and also to give some to her friends, the
Graveses. The preserves are in first
class condition, of excellent flavor, and
would no doubt keep another quarter of
a century. Wash Roberts has been for
many years popular citizen of Roche
port, while Jack Ray is somewhere in
the state of Washington.-Fayette (Mo.)
