Beard Growth of a Lifetime.

If you are proud of fresh shave and a
smooth face, you visit the barber at least
twice week or probably every other day.
Suppose you commenced this practice at
the age Of II and continued 1t up to the
age of 70, have you any idea Of the total
length of the beard that would be removed
in that timer If your beard grows as rap
idly as that Of the average man, you must
have about one-ffth of an inch removed
each week, or 10 20 incheS each year. Be-
tween the ages Of II and 70 years SO years
must intervene, and each Of these SO years
gives almost foot Of beard growth, or q
total Of 800 inches, exclusive of fraction, or,
to be more exactly exact, A feet and 9
inches of beard
The above is all figured on the assump-
ton that the fllaments of the beard main
tain thoir average growth Of one-flfth of
an ia'!. during the period mentioned,
wl.ri. Il course, is out of the question.
There Is ell the difference in the world
In beard growth. Some men will raise a
"stubble flold'' one-fourth Of an inch in
length, while another will hardly raise
enough to roughon his face. Then,
again, we do not wish to be understood as
saying that man would grow half q
hundred feet Of beard in lifetime pro-
vided he never shaved. On the contrary,
the average man would not grow more
than az feet On reaching length of IS
to 90 inches the beard invariably becomes
brittle or Sits and after this the growth is
very slow or ceases entirely.-St. Louis
Republic.

To the World of Women,

Weak, nervous, delicate, overworked
women need a strength builder, tonic
for their nerves, and cure for that aw-
full internal trouble that is wearing out
their lives. Thousands of women have
found such in DR.. Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy. Mrs. Christana Beal, of Jones'
port, Me-, writes that their daughter had
been great sufferer from female trouble
and after repeated trials of DOCTORS pre-.
scriptions and other so-called cures, all
of which gave no relief, she used Favor
tie Remedy and it permanently cured
her.
If you have headache, uterine ca
tarr6, irregular menstruation, leucorrh@a
or irregular monthly periods, sickness
incidental to change of life, or any of the
attending evils that are present in female
complaints, use Favorite Remedy; it will
build up quickly the run down constitu-
ton, diSpel those tired looks and feelings,
restore the nervous system and perma-
nently cure you. Our daughters grow
up weak and delicate; mothers can avoid
such conditions by giving them DR.. Ken
nedy's Favorte Remedy.

The Policeman Would Have No Man Flour
ishlng Pistol There.
The boys are telling rather good story
on Fargo citizen and police officer, which
runs something in this wise: The citizen
had purchased candy revolver for his lit
tie boy, which closely resembled genu-
inc weapon. The other night he was in
tho ladies' waiting room at the Northern
Pacific awaiting the arrival Of No. 3,
smoking u cigarette. It's against the rules
to smoke in this room, and when the officer
stepped in he detected the smell of smoke,
and after sizing up tho crowd finally 10
Gated the citizen calmly smoking away.
"Hore," said the officer, "lf you want
to smoke, you will have to go outside"
Don't you talk to me that way" re-
piled the cigarette smoker, "or I'll blow
you full Of holes" AS he said this he
drew tho candy weapon from his pocket
and lcvcled it at the officer. The candy
was wrapped with tinfoil and looked like
sure enough revolver. The crowd, at
least, took no chances. Convinced there was
going to be a shooting and that "cop-
per" or somebody was going to be killed,
there was a unanimous desire among tho
bystandcrs not to witness the slaughter Of
the devoted guardian of the peace Every
one made an attempt at the same time
to reach the door. Several might have
been injured If the prompt action Of the
police officer had not prevented the panic
that seemed imminent. He seized the citi-
zen's right arm and pushed 1t up and back
so that If the candy revolver was discharged
it would be in the air. Then he shouted,
"You are under arrestp' and led him out
into the hallway, which was soon crowded.
The citizen still held the candy revolver,
which looked formidable enough in the
dim light. He seemed to have lost his
bold front and was trembling with fear
In tailoring tones he said: Don't put mo
under arrest. would rather eat this re-
volver than be locked up in police cell. !"
"Well " said the officer, half in jest,
"you eat that revolver, and I'll let you go I"
"All right" he returned, and to the
amazcmont of every one, including the
officer, he put the barrel into his mouth
and bit off large section. Before the
crowd recovered from It's surprise the trig-
ger had disappeared from view, and by the
time the officer had discovered that he had
been the victim Of a joke the revolver had
been eaten.-Fargo Forum.

Didn't Want to Change.

1 met n man yesterday who had just
come back from one of those unpronounce-
able towns up in the Pennsylvania oil re-
gions. He has been spending don't know
how many months among the Swedes up
there, and he has a great many things to
tell of them. He says that just before he
left can't remember the towns name
there was Methodist revival. A great
many of the Olsens and Petersens and
Knudsens were converted. To one of them,
Nels Petersen, the leader Of the meeting
said, "Nels, will you work for GodH" Nels
shifted uneasily. A Swede, you know,
can't express anything at all with his facS,
except the national stolidity. "Ae don't
know" he said hesitatingly. "Ae got q

Writers Who Were Confident They Would
Win Immortal Regulations.
It is, of course, pardonable that great
man should have high opinion of him
self, says a recent writer One cannot find
much fault with Wordsworth, even when
one reads that he spoke of himself as
writing on, though fully assured that his
poems would be unpopular, because he
knew that they would also be immortal
Many other poets have laid to their souls
the same nattoring JUNCTION, and have been
content to wait for posterity, which, how
ever, has not always been content to read
them. Horace, speaking Of his odos said:
81 have erected monument more durable
than brass and moro regal than tho lofty
heights of the pyramids" while Shake
speare, in one Of his sonnets, used an ex
preston so similar that one suspects it at
once Of being borrowed:
Not marble nor the gildod monument
OF princes shall outlive this lofty rhyme,
But you shall shine more bright in these con-
tents
Than unswept stone besmeared with sluttish
time.
Lord Tonnyson, too, Is reported to have
said that the "Bugle Song In "The
GrlnccSS Is inc hHGSJ lyric Ill Lllc nlBllhll
language. Walter Savage Lander was Of
opinion that his Imaginary Convorsa-
tions" were of such literary value that
there had not been five volumes of prose to
equal them in 1000 years. Coming to an
other sphere Of life from that Of the poet
the cricket field, to wlt-we may mention
old Lillywhite, who used to say: Il bowl
the best ball in England and Mr.. Horne
bowls the next" 1t is quite true doubtless
but even its truth was ovorshadowed by
its beautiful modesty.
1t is related Of Victor Hugo that, when
quite unknown he walked into the office
of a certain publisher and tried to sell him
some poems. The publisher was not in
buying frame Of mind, and Victor, as he
went out, said: "You have today thrown
away fortune, sir l was about to make
an arrangement with you whereby you
would be able to publish everything l shall
write in the future. You have lost the OPP
portunity. 1t is one that will never occur

1t is closely in keeping with the whole
train Of argument to say word in regard
to early marriages, writes the Rev. Charles
H. Parkhurst, D. D., in an article on 1.-THE
Safeguards of Marriage" in The Ladies'
Home Journal. That is the natural order
of event. Divine intention seems quito
distinct upon tho matter. Such marriages
when properly consummated are means
of personal establishment and security to
the parties implicated. For young man
or young woman to be wholesomely mar
ried is the next step to being regenerated.
To be out of that condition is counter to
nature, and to disregard nature subjects
to all kinds of exposure. 1t is sometimes
forgotten that natures arrangements and
intentions are in the nature of divine or
dinance, which may be of the same au-
thoritativeness as though drafted literally
and included in the decalogue.

The wine in Switzerland Is left In the
casks till the following spring, and 1t is
here that fermentation takes place and the
mout is converted into wine. The change
begins almost Immediately; the liquid be-
comes turbid, carboniC acid gas is evolved,
a scum is thrown up on the surface, and
the temperature rises. a climax is reached;
the intensity of tho fermentation dimin-
ishes, subsides the scum settles as Shiny
deposit at the bottom Of the Cask and a
clear yellow liquid is left above The grape
sugar has almost entirely disappeared, a
corresponding amount of alcohol has taken
its place, and the sweet taste of the mout
has given place to tho characteristic vinous
flavor Of the wine.
In the early stages Of fermentation enor-
nous quantities Of carbonic acid gas are
given off, and hugo fires are made in the
cellars to drive 1t away. But at the time
write Of, October, 1893, when the vintage
was tho finest Of tho century, when barrels
to hold the mout could not be purchased
for love or money, whom every cellar on
the lake, from Geneva to Vllleneuve, was
packed with casks Of mout, so great was
the amount Of carbonlo acid gas In the air
that, in spite of every precaution, several
deaths from suffocation took place among
the workers. In the spring the wine Is
drawn off clear into other barrels. then
bottled. Vim ordinaire Is not bottled at
all, but simply drawn from the wood.
This Is the wine sold at all the little wine
shops with which Switzerland abounds.
1t is drawn off into quaint little glass de-
canters containing half a liter each and
so served to the unhurrying Swiss, who
drink 1t round little tables under the trees
on the sunny pathways or over wooden
benches inside the red curtalned wine
shops.-Cornhil Magazine.
