A lady who had "too much Of good

his origin, nor had be the vanity often SO
apparent in self-made men. He was
never, averse to abiding TO his former
life. One anccdote especially illustrates
his simple candor

had for long time been unused to that
humble beverage, yet out Of respect TO

But his mother did not experience the
satisfaction she could have wished from
the change in their mode of living. The
bishop gave her train of male and
female servants, and an honorable estab-

Tho Reasons for Not Denuding the Faoe of

II Is to be feared that too many men
deprive themselves Of what Shakespeare
calls "valonr's excrement," without
counting the possible cost. Whether
the beard be an ornament 10 the mascu-
line countenance we must, says the
British Medical Journal, leave the ladies
to decide; it certainly has its uses in
hiding weak chin, and In some cases II
seems to be cultivated as q vicarlous
compensation for hairless scalp. Ii IL
not, however, In Its cosmetic SO much as
in its hygleniG aspects that the blrssed-
ness of the beard-in which term we
include the whole of the harvest usually
claimed by the raZOr-is most apparent.
That IL is safeguard to the throat is
generally admitted, and writers of au-
thorlty have insisted on Its value as a
protection against toothache and facial
neuralgia, This is a goodly sum Of
advantages to the credit of the beard.
DIR. 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 defence
against that form of facial paralysis
which is caused by cold. This affection
is far more common in women than in
men, though the latter are, Of course,
much more exposed to tho cause which
produces It,
When facial paralysis frigore does
occur in men, they are almost invariably
individuals to whom nature has been
stepsmotherly in the matter Of beard, or
who have wantonly thrown away the
protective covering with which she had
clothed their faces. DIR. Chabbert cites
the experience of several physicians, in
addition to his own, In support Of his
opinion. Professor Andre of Toulouse,
has seen several cases OF the affection in
question in women, but not one in man;
lie has heard of one, indeed, which
would appear to be an excellent OK
ample of the exception which proves
the rule, for the patient was "lyric
artist" with the faccia d. musico so dis
tasteful to Lord Byron. Professor Pitrcs
OF Bordeaux, has seen IL cases in
women and only two in men; both the
latter shaved. though as one of them
underwent that operation only twice q
week. his case perhaps does not count
for much unless IL be held that his face
was more vulnerable after these period
ical foundations. Similar observations
are quoted from DIR. Olivier of Fou-
louise, and DR.. oudre Of Carmaux These
facts, though hardly sufficient to found
IN induction on, seem, at least, to estab.
llsh q prima facie case for the utility of
the beard against facial paralysis OF the
kind referred To-. In these days, when
mans traditional privileges are one by
one being invaded by the new woman
he may perhaps be forgiven for making
the most of such advantages as may be
considered exclusively his own.

In his Recolections" published in

the Irish poet, tells an amusing anecdote
of the learned head of one OF the Cam,
bridge colleges. Scholars highly cs.
teemed this master for his learning; but
the undergraduates thought him "as dry
as the remainder biscuit after avoyGge."
One day two undergraduates, in the
college library, were discussing the
dry as dust ways of the venerable
head. Their irroverent criticisms were
overheard by pompous fellow OF the
college who said, in his inflated style:
"You are probably ignorant, young
gentlemen, that the venerable person of
whom you have been speaking with
such ievity is one Of the prOfoundest
scholars Of our age-indeed, IL may be
doubted whether any man of our age
has bathed more deeply in the sacred
fountains of antiquity" "Or come up

LoNDoE, Feb. 4.-The letter of tho
correspondent of the Associated Press
who is now in Armenia, giving the first
direct and authentic facts regarding the
reported Turkish atrocities in Armenia,
was published here this morning, after
having appeared exclusively in the
newspapers of the Associated Press yes
terday. 1t is attracting much attention
in England, as it is admitted to be the
first impartial account OF the troubles
concerning which SO much has been
said and written by the Armenians and
by the Turks.
The Daily Telegraph says; "The story
is enough to make civilization and
humanity despair. Both sides appear
to be guilty of acts against every canon
of honesty, morality and civilization"
The Daay .Nesos remarks: Even il
the accusations are fully proved, tho
