Cne Who Analyses Fashions Says We Arc

The prevailing motive not to appear
singular accounts for the continuance
of certain fashions, many being the re-
suits of superstition, religious observ-

Wo are acquainted with what facility
hair may be fashioned into various fam
tastic shapes for personal adornment, and
when a part through tho middle is de-
creed it is Worn without regard to con-
tour, and whether it may add to or de-
tract from ones intellectual appearance
no thought is given.
If fashion says crimp, We crimp; if
curl and wave, we obey. And the Gus
tom of keeping the head closely shaved
prevails, as among the Fijian women,
while the men cultivate long hair, thus
reversing the conditions met with
among highly civilized nations.
The lips, ears and nose offer a variety
of possible alterations and are means
Of ornamental display, and, says Cap
tain Cook, over q hundred years ago, in
describing the naked savages on the east
coast of Australia, their principal form
of ornamentation was bone, which
they thrust through the cartilage which
divides the nostrils from each other
Tho lip ornamentations by the Bolocudo
Indians and the Tlinket Bella are dis
gusting in the extreme, and in the heart

the mouth, as if they wanted to contract
the orifice and literally put curb on
its possibilities.

Peace was established, and the pill
grims who desired to enter the Holy City
were unmolested. This matter was set
tied in 1192.
On his return Richard was compelled
to go incog. through Germany, as the
authorities were opposed to him. He
was discovered and confined till large
ransom was paid.
Philip and John, the kings brother,
decided that Richards extremity was
their opportunity, and so concluded to
divide up his kingdom between them.
At this dramatic moment Richard, hav-
ing paid his EGO, 900 ransom and tipped
his custodian, entered the English
arena, and the jig was up. John was

Richard never secured a peace with
Philip, but died in 1899 from the effects
of a wound received in France and
when but AZ years of age. The longev-
ity among monarchs of the present day
is indeed gratifying when one reads Of
the brief lives of these old reigners, for
it surely demonstrates that royalty,
when not carried to excess, is rather
conducive to health than otherwise
Richard died from the effects of an
arrow wound, and all his foes in this
engagement We're hanged except the
young warrior who had given him his

Edmund HALEY.

Probably the greatest service which
HALEY ever rendered to human knowl-
edge was the share which he took in
bringing Newton Principal before
the world. In fact, as Dr.. Glaisher, writ
ing in 1888, has truly remarked, "but
for HALEY the Principal would not
have existed. "
HALEY had the genius to perceive tho
tremendous importance of Newton S re-
searches, and he ceased not to urge upon
the somewhat recluse man of science the
necessity for giving his discoveries pub
lcation. Having been authorized by the
Royal society to undertake the printing
of the book at his own expense, HALEY
spared 10 pains i'll pushing forward the
publication Of his illustrious friends
great work, so much so that in the same
year he was in a position to present
complete copy to King James II, with
proper discourse Of his own. Halley also
wrote set Of Latin hexameters, in
praise of Ncwton's genius, which he
printed at the beginning of the work.
The last line of this specimen of Hal
1ey's poetic muse may be thus rendered,
"Nor mortals nearer may approach tho

The MOUNTAIN.

Largo chestcd giant, shadowing the land,
With lazy limbs stretched out at length
Covered with shng and gnarled with
strength,
watch thee day by day,
A hemlock hoar tho staff of thy huge hand,
Driving along tho accustomed upward trail
THY foclzs of mist that m orn and even stray
Across the valel
Pressing with sun Drowned body earth's green
couch,
The golden days of summer through,
With half vcilcd eyes of melting blue
Der which the shadows fit
What dreams are thine, that with magic
touch
Thy spirit to contcntment they bcguile,
And DER thy brow, where rugged frowns
might sit.
Persuade Il smile?
When tho cmpurplcd curtain of the gloom
Drops slowly from its loosened cord,
Across her roso flushed terrace toward
The purlcus of thy rest,
! watch the figure of the evening conc,
ono atarTy brooch upon her shoulder shining,
And lean upon thy broad and loving breast,
With arms entwining.
Warden art thou of ell the trooping stars.
Through the hushcd hours of night they
wait
Upon the threshold OF thy gate
OF pine trees that uprcars
Itself against the sky. OFT, too, those bars
Behind fresh from some fountain bath, is seen
The moon. when with her quiver she appears,

THE UNHAPPY FATHER SANK INTO THE
GRAVE.
under Strongbow Orchard de Clare),
whose declaration of Independence was
the first thing of the kind known to civ
ilization, for help. While assisting the
Irish chief Strongbow noticed q royal
wink on the features of Henry, and act
ing upon it proceeded to gather in the
other precincts of Ireland. Thus in 1172
the island was placed under the rule of
a viceroy sent there by England.
Henry now had trouble with three of
his sons, Henry, Richard and Geoffrey,
who threatened that if the old gentle
man did not divide up his kingdom
among them they would go to Paris and
go into the Iolle business. Henry him
self was greatly talked about and his
name coupled with that of fair Rosa
mond Clifford, rival of Queen Eleanor.
The king refused to grant the request of
his SONS and bade them go ahead with
their roue enterprises so long as they
did not enter into competition with him.
So they went to Paris, where their
cuttings UP were not noticed. The queen
took their side, as did Louis of France
and William, king Of Scotland. With
the Beckett difficulty still keeping him
awake of nights also, the king was in
constant hot water, and for time it
seemed that he would have to seek other
employment. but his masterly hit in
making a barefootod pilgrimage to the
tomb of Beckett, thus securing absolution
from the archbishop of Canterbury,
turned the tide
William of Scotland was made pris-
oner in 1l74 and the confcdcracy
against tllc king broken up. Thus in
1l15 the castle ut Edinburgh came into
the hands Of the English, and roast beef
was substituted for oats. Irish and
Scotch whisky was now introduced into
the national policy, and bits of bright
English lumor, with footnotes for the
use of the Se.+ shipped to Edin-
burgh. ~

In 1173 occurred the conquest of Ire
land, anciently called Hibernia These
people We're similar to the Britons, but of
their history prior to the year 400 A. D.
little is known Before Christ race of
men inhabited Ireland however, who
had their own literature and who We're
advanced in the arts. This was before the
introduction of the ''early mass whisk-
angemen had sent forth their defiant
peal.
In the fifth century Ireland was con-
verted by St. Patrick, and she became
known as the island of saints and schol-
ars. To say that she has become the is
land of pugilists and policemen today
would be unjust, and to say that she has
more influence in America than in Ire
land would be unkind. Surely her mod
ern history is most pathetic.
For three centuries the island was
harassed by the Danes and Northmen,
but when the Marquis of Queensberry
rules We're adopted the latter threw up
the sponge. The finish fight occurred at
Clontarf, near Dublin.

Robin Redbreast.

The country people of England, as
we'll as of several other countries, have
an idea that the red Of the robins breast
was caused by drop of blood which
fell upon it at tho crucifxion. Accord
ing to the story, the robin, commiserat-
ing the condition of Christ, tried to
pluck the crown ef thorns from his
brow, and, i'll doing so, got its breast
wet with the blood flowing from the
wounds. The color became permanent,
being transmitted from generation to
generation, and thus, according to the
legend, the robin is "A perpetual remind
er OF the sufferings of Christ.

Henry had more trouble with his
sons, however, and they imbittered his
life as the sons of a too frolicsome father
are apt to do. Henry, Jr., died repentant
but Geotfrey perished in his sins in a
tournament, although generally the tour
nament was supposed to be conducive to
longevity. Richard was constitutionally
a reb9l and at last compelled the old
gentleman to yield to humiliating
treaty with the French i'll 1889. Find
ing in the list of the opposing forces
the name Of John, his young favorite
son, the poor old battered monarch in
1889 selected an unoccupied grave and
took possession of same
He cursed his sons and died misera-
bly,, deserted by his followers, who took
such clothing as fitted them best and
would have pawned the throne had it
not been out Of style and unavailable
for that purpose, besides being secured
to the castle. His official life was credit
able to high degree, but his private
life seemed to call loudly for good,
competent disinfectant.
Richard Kyur duh le ong, as the
French have it, or Richard of the
lion heart, reigned in his fathers stead
from 1889 to 1899. His reign opened
with adisagreeable massacre. The Jews,
who had brought him some presents to
wear at his inaugural ball, were insult
ed by the populace, who believed that
the king favored a massacre, and SO
many We're put to death.
Richard and Philip Of France organic
ed successful crusade against people
who We're not deemed orthodox and sue
ceeded in bagging good many in Syria,
where the woods We're full of infidels.
Richard, however, was so overbear-
ing that Philip could not get along with
him, and they dissolved partnership,
but Richard captured Ascalon after this.
His army was too much reduced, how
ever, to capture Jerusalem.
Saladin, the opposing sultan, was a
great admirer of Richard, and when the
lion hearted king was ill sent him fruits
and even ice, so the historian says.

Eighteen Hundred Years After Death.

When the pick used by the excavator
at Pompeii gives forth hollow sound
when striking the great bed of lava,
care is immediately taken to open the
cavity that is known to be near Into
this cavity liquid plaster of paris is
poured. The cavity serves as mold, and
the plaster soon hardens. When the lava
has been removed, the statue obtained
usually proves to be that of woman
or man in the agonizing commissions of
death, the limbs contorted and the fea-
lures drawn out of shape just as they
were when the person was overtakon by
