There is theory favored by the disci-
Piles of Darwin that the beard is merely
the survival of primitive decoration.
Man, according to this view, was orig
inally as hairy as the opossum itself, but
as he rolled down the ages he wore the
hair off in patches by sleeping on his
sides and sitting against tree. or
course the hair of the dog is not worn of
in this way, but great theory is not to
be set aside by an objection SO trifing.
BY and by our ancestors "awoke to the
consciousness that they were patchy and
spotty,n and resolving to '.iiye down"
all hair that was not ornamental they
with remarkable unanirnity seem to
have fixed on the eyebrows, the mua-
taehe unfortunately. as the self
scrapers mostly think the beard as be-
ing all that was worth preserving of the
primitive covering ng.-English Illustrated

sauIt Citixens--A Priests Vain Effort to
Quen the Disturbance.
BERLIN, Jan 5.-Keen anxiety exists in the
Saar district, whore the striking miners and
their anarchistic leaders have made a des-
perate attempt to save their cause by
spreading terror and threatening open
conflict. In Puttlingen yesterday a mob
OF 200 strikers raided the houses of
the men who had refused to join them,
dragging out and beating several and
smashing the windows. In Forhach, a
mob starting out with a similar purpose
was stopped for II moment by u priest, who
begged the men to be reasonable, and not
to make innocent workingmen suffer for
trying to support their families.
The doctrines Of anarchy which they
were trying to realize were dsgraceful to
Germans and Christians. A pistol was
fired at the priest as he spoke against the
anarchists, and then shower of stones fell
around him The mob made rush for
him, but he saved himself by running
away. The mob broke few windows,
beat two miners who had refused to stop
work, and dispersed At the pits mouth,
the men still working and the mine officials
have been in constant danger Of being
killed. Many of the strikers are armed
with revolvers and feR with rifles, and
they have been firing recklessly in the
neighborhood of the pits.
A Meeting of 5000 strikers Held.
A meeting of 5000 strikers was held yes
terday near !saar-Louis, and four leaders
were elected to act in the place of the two
already arrested. Five men and three
women delivered violent harangues They
demanded higher wages and shortershif
The government, they said, was trying to
frighten the strikers into submission, but
If the men would hold out they would be
able To rally the Geman masses to their
aid, mangurate general strike of German
miners and paralyze ali German industry.
The men became intensely excited dur
ing the speeches and frequently cheered
the speakers After the meeting broke up
the men marched off in three bodies firing
revolvers, singing the Marseillaise and
hooting all respectfully dressed men in
sight Other meetings in the district Were
| hardly less upruarious All speakers de-
nounced with special viilllence the clergy,
| who have incurred the hatred of the an
| archists by counseling moderation.
At Ensdorf the strikers have requested
| the mayor to propose compromise for
| them to the mine officials Reports from
| SaaT-Louis last night are to the effect that
| despite the bombast of the leaders and the
apparent responsiveness of the men, the
| strike is weakening. The striking miners
| are suffering kcenly from the severity Of
| the weather, and the expected contributions
| from England, France and Belgium have
not come in, As the men were unprcpared
for the strike they must either return to
| work soon or starye

THE DEATH or TOMMY.
Virginia Hospitality Could Not BE Dis
regarded Too Lightly.

The south has always been known for
its hospitality, and nowhere has this
quality been more religiously main
tanned than in Virginia. Unfortunately
the war made sad havoc with the Vir-
ginian's resources, but his old time open
heartedness has never altered.
Some years ago friend of mine trav-
cling in the lower portion of that state
stopped for few hours with old ac-
qpaintances and remained for tea. An
occasion OF this kind in Virginia calls
invariably for the fayorite dish Of the
south-fried chicken.
Alas! there was but one young chicken
on the place, and that one u pet. 1t had
been left an orphan by its mother at
very early age, and, like Pip in Charles
Dickens "Great Expectations, mad been
brought up by hand. Tho children
called it Tommy, and were very fond Of
it, while Tommy in turn was attached
to the children.
The matter was very serious one,
and family consultation was held.
Virginia hospitality could not be lightly
disregarded, and it was decided that
poor Tommy must become the sacrifice.
My friend of course knew nothing of
the tragedy that was being enacted for
his comfort, and when tea was served
regarded the plate of nicely Drowned
chicken with contemplative joy.
Soon, however, he became aware that
something was anliss. An air of silent
sorrow pervaded the little family group
usually so gay, and the children took
nothing on their plates. The chicken
was passed, but with the exception Of
my friend no one partook. Selecting
juicy looking drumstick, he fixed it
with his fork, and cutting off choice
bit conveyed it to his mouth.
AT this there was sudden and heart
breaking howl from one of the little
boys, '.Oh, mamma, mamma, he's eating
up our Tommy
Thereupon the other children mingled
their voices in wild wailing, and the
older members burst into uncomfortable
laughter in which, as the truth dawned
upon him, my friend joined.
Then there came explanations, more
laughter and tears, and adjustments all
around.
Poor Tommy could not be restored to
life, but he was buried under big apple
tree with appropriate ceremonies.-Al-
bert B. Paine in Harper's Young People.

Great indignant pn over the visit.

MONTREAL Ian. s. There is great indig-
nation expressed among the ultra loyal
English here because Lieutenant Governor
Chapleau paid an official visit to Cardinal
Taschereau at the latter's palace. The pre-
vious lieutenant governor refused to visit
the cardinal, holding that as representa-
tive of her majesty, Queen Victoria, Car
dinal Taschereau should pay the first visit
to him, The cardinal, on his part, claimed
that as he was IL prince of the church and
representing the pope, he should receive
the first visit.
