had plainly stamped itself on his face
the day before had given place to O.
look OF relief and resignation to the
inevitable. While he would saw moth

course OF his conversation attributed
the result more to the thorough organi-

dissatisfaction Of tcformors. He said

phase OF the fight is we'll known to

Governor Evans said that he was
glad TO get out Of politics, rs no young

Talking of BARRIERS very naturally brings
TO mind the interesting subject of mus
taches, for what boy Is there who does not
look eagerly forward to the proud time
when he can raise mustachep The wear
ing of mustaches is such universal GUS
tom that we might suppose 1t never had a
special meaning or beginning; but the
fact is that it did have beginning several
hundred years ago and served very I'm
portant purpose for awhile. You will re-
member that for several centuries the
Moors had possession of Spain, but were
finally conquered or driven out by the
Christians. The Moors were believers in
Mohammedanisn, and having made many
converts 1t was not always an easy mat
ter to tell Mohammedan from a Chris
tian. and as there were constant conflicts
between the people of the two religions,
the Christians decided TO adopt some sign
by which they could be distinguished from
the unbelievers. So they let the hair grow
on the upper lip and on the chin in order
to produce as nearly as possible the form
OF cross, and in that way they were able
to recognize one another at ali times and
flock together in times of danger.-St

KING OSCAR OF SWEDEN.
The Monarch Who Will Be Umpire in the
Venezuelan Arbitration.

(From ex-Minister Thomas's Book,
'sSweden an d the Swedes'')
One Of the most gifted, courteous, and
charming gentleman itswas ever my good

1t is hardly probable that Oscar in his
youth ever seriously contemplated as
cending the throne. Two elder brothers
stood between him and royal honors, aud
as time wore on, che eldest was happily
married and to him son was born,
which rendered Oscars prospects of as
snming the purple still more remote.
So Rfinoe Oscar was educated as q

medal for long and faithful service.
Every one of these the King took by the
hand and made happy by some kind
word of commentator.
Oscar II. was born in 1929. In 1856
when making the tour of Europe, a
young Prince of twenty seven, he met the
lovely Princess Sophie, of Nassau, then
but twenty years old. His deep love for
her was returned in full measure and
they were welded the year following.
Their union has sver been a happy one,
and is blessed with four sons-Gustaf,
Oscar, Carl, and Eugen-who guarded
by fathers and mothers love, have
grown up under the pure influences of
a refined home to be model syoung men,
