The Writing of "Ben-Hur.r

General Lew Wallace in his lecture
on Ben -Hur" recounts some facts in
connection with the writing of that fa-
nous novel. At the time he wrote the
story General Wallace had never visited
the Holy Land, and under the oircum-
stances his accurate pictures are little
short of marvellous All the information
he had was obtained from personal ac-
quaintances who had travelled through
Palestine and from reading the writings
of other authors. A large map was be-
fore him as he wrote, and he constantly
had to draw on his imagination, but in
this respect he was always fortunate
and never made blunder in his descrip-
tions. In fact, the Palestine of "Ben-
Hur" is generally regarded as authori-
tative, and General Wallace relates with
keen relish how younger author wrote
story, the scene of which was laid in
tho Holy Land, and stole all his descrip-
tions bodily from "Ben-Hur" :" General
Wallace says that his hardest task in
writing the book was to find a hero.
His favorite passage in the story is the
scene of Ben-Hur's house. where he de-
soribes the miracles of Christ. General
Wallace believes that more art is dis
played in this passage than even in the
famous chariot race, which is generally
regarded as the strongest passage of the
book.

GERMAN WHIST.
One of the Few Interesting Games of Cards
For Two Hands.

For Two Hands.
There are, for some undiscovered rea-
son, very few simple two handed card
games. And of these the best. and per-
haps the least known, is German whist.
Essentially game of skill, there is q
sufficient element of luck combined to
insure a good game even between two
unequal players, and the issue is always
more or less uncertain antil the last mo-
ment.
An ordinary pack Of whist cards is all
that is required, and as far as play is
concerned the rules of whist are almost
entirely applicable. Thirteen cards ars
dealt TO each player, as in the ordinary
tour BANDED game Instead. however.
of turning up the twenty sixth card, the
twenty.seventh card is placed face up.
ward on the remainder Of the pack. The
suit of this card remains trumps through
out the game.
The dealers vis-a-vis plays FIRST oy
leading card, and the dealer must fol-
low suit as in whist or, If he cannot,
either trump or throw away useless
card.
The first trick is now on the table,
and whoever picks it up draws the
trump card from the top of the pack.
The card below this is drawn by the
loser, who does not show it's face. The
third card on the pack is now turned
up and will belong to the winner of the
second trick, the loser again drawing
the card underneath, and SO on through
out the pack In this way the player
has l3 cards in his hand until the end.
AS tricks of two are difficult to keep
distinct, it is generally found advisable
to pile them indiscriminately for the
time being and to count them out at
the end of each game.
In playing the cards have the ordi-
nary whist valuations, and when the last
cards have been drawn the 13 which re-
main in the hand are played out in the
usual way. The difference between the
number Of tricks taken by the dealer
and his opponent is the number of points
the winner scores. Each game is usual
ly considered complete in itself, but it
is no unusual occurrence to find at the
end that each player has ID tricks.
Tt is difficult in such a short space to
give any reliable hints for players. but
any one accustomed to whist will fall
into the way at once Obviously, how
ever, it is not always an advantage to
take the card which is turned up, and
in the case of this being low one q
speculative player will often lead the
lowest card in his hand in the hope Of
drawing something better underneath.
The player is happy who, when it comes
to playing the last 13 cards, finds him
self with one long suit and the majority
of trumpsl-Home Notes.

SAFETY IN WEARING A BEARD.

1t Guards the Throat and Is n Protection
Against Facial Paralysis.
It is to be feared that too many de-
prive themselves of what Shakespeare
calls ''valor's excrement" without
counting the possible cost Whether the
beard be an ornament to the masculine
countenance we must leave the ladies to
decide. 1t certainly has its rsas IL hid
ing weak chin, and in some cases it
seems to be cultivated as a vicarious
compensation for hairless scalp. Its
not, however, in its cosmetic so much
as in its hygienic aspects that the bless
edness Of the beard-in which term we
include the whole of the harvest usually
claimed by the razor-is most apparent
That it is safeguard to the throat is
generally admitted. The writers of au-
thority have insisted on. its value as
protection against toothache and facial
neuralgia. This is goodly sum of ad-
vantages to the credit of the beard.
Dr. Chabbert of Toulouse has, how.
ever, yet more to say in its favor. Ac-
cording to this practitioner, the beard
seems to be very efficient defense
against that form Of facial paralysis
which is caused by cold. This affection
is far more common in wcmen than in
men, though the latter are of course
much more exposed to the cause which
produces it. When facial paralysis a
frigore does occur in men, they are al
most invariably individuals to whor

matter of beard or have wantonly
thrown away the protective covering
with which she had clothed their faces.
DR.. Chabbert cites the experience of sew
eral physicians, in addition to his own,

DIRE of Toulouse has seen several cases of
the affection in question in women, but
not one in man. He had heard of one
indeed which would appear to be an ex-
cellent example Of the exception which
proves the rule, for the patient was a
"lyrio artist" with the faccia di musi-
co so distasteful to Lord Byron. Pro-
fessor Pitres of Bordeaux has seen 12
cases in women and only two in men.
Both the latter shaved, though as one of
them underwent that operation only
twice week his case perhaps does not
count for much unless it be held that
his face was more vulnerable after these
periodical foundations Similar obser-
vations are quoted from DIR. Olivier of
Toulouse and DR.. Sude of Carmau.
These facts, though hardly sufficient
to found an induction on, seem at least
to establish a prima facie case for the
utility of the beard against facial pa
ralysis of the kind referred to. In these
days, when mans traditional privileges
are one by one being invaded by the

given for making the most of such ad-

Where three bent yew trees cover.

And starlings chatter and gray owls talk
In the belfry O. nights alone.
