Talking Of BARRIERS very naturally brings
to mind the interesting subject Of mus
taches, for what boy rs there who does not
look eagerly forward to the proud time
when he can raise mustaohei The wear
ing of mustaohes is such a universal Gus
tom that we might suppose it never had q
special meaning or beginning; but the
fact Is that 1t 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
Mohammedanism, and having mode many
converts 1t was not always an easy mat
ter to tell a Mohammedan from 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 a cross, and in that way they were able
to recognize one another at all times and
flock together In times Of danger.-St
Nicholas.

DIAMOND ROMANCE.
The Bright Com Sees Many Changes In Its

The Bright Com Secs Many Changes In Its
Mission Of Adjournment.
To the expert diamond has as much
individuality as human being The man
not accustomed to the examination OF the
precious stones secs no difference between
them except that of size, but the lover Of
gems, in two stones that to the average
observer are perfectly matched, will detect
a hundred differences In luster, In color,
in manner of QUITTING, in size, and, above
all, in that individuality already referred
to which distinguished one from another,
even when minor points Of difference are
almost altogether wanting. The diamond
lover therefore not unnaturally regards a
beautiful gem as an entity, having his
tory of Its own, sometimes running back
for hundreds Of years
Precious objects, such as diamonds
which combine enormous value with the
minimum Of bulk, which are almost uni
versally coveted and may DO converted in
to cash or Its equivalent on short notice,
are naturally exceedingly interesting from
these facts II for no other, and the trav<
els Of diamond, II they could be fol-
lowed, would make story often Of thrill
ing interest. Now in a royal crown; now
in pawnshop; now in brooch adjoining

man; now the cause Of murder; now the

Animal Preferences.

A scientist reports that sparrows show
decided dislike to the colors blue and pur-
Pile 1t will be comparatively easy to verify
such fact, If fact 1t be. Those who have
observed cats must have discovered that
they display marked preference for GER
tain flowers In q garden. Whether their
selection be by color, perfume or general
contour remains to be proved. Cats also
evince n dislike Of strong perfume. In
this they are not unlike dogs, who will
often show their teeth, curling the lips
viciously If perfumed objects DO held close
to them. A singular exception has been
noticed by the writer, for little tabby cat
evidently takes pleasure in smelling deep
yellow nasturtium. Suoh observations
may never lead to practical results, but
then they yield pleasure to lover Of AMI
mails, and close observation may sometimes
throw light upon certain traits which
other minds may be able to turn to 40

ton is unimportant. II the hum lest la
borer could only tell just how the simplest

Joan Of Arcs Strategy.

At this epoch when the art Of war WAS
in a rudimentary state, when hazard WAS
counted the chief element Of SUCCESS, Joan
was to discover and practice strategic
measures as now to her tilno as were those
which gave Bonaparts victory over Aus
tria at the time of the italian campaign.
First of the warriors Of tho middle ages,
Joan appreciated the advantages to be
gained by reiterated attacks on an enemy
already shaken and demoralized without
leaving him the time between action to re-
cover and reorganize. And this was not
the effect Of a happy accident During the
entire campaign, In every circumstance,
she again and again gave proof of the SUI
periority OF her intelligence, and this de-
spite all difficulties, in the face Of tho Ill
will of her otficers-jealously indignant Of
being superseded by mere girl Of low Or
igin-hampered by the Incidence of the
king and carrying on her frail shoulders
tho weight Of all decisions and the respon-
sibility of all initiative effort. To the
chiefs who sought to make decisions with
out consulting her she proudly asserted;
"Hold your counsel together. l will hold
mine with the Lord God and his will pre-
vail" The ardor of her prayers moved at
last the coward Incidence Of the king, and
she succeeded in making him share her
enthusiasm, warming his cold heart at the

Grants Opinion Of Sheridan.

Sheridan arrived in Washington on
April 4. He had been worn down almost
to shadow by hard work and exposure In
the field. He weighed only llb pounds,
and Is his height was but feet inches
he looked anything but formidable as
candidate for a cavalry leader. He had
met the president and the officials at the
war department that day for the first
time, and it was his appearance on this
occasion which gave rise to a remark made
to General Grant the next time he visited
the department, "The officer you brought
on from the west IL rather a little fellow
to handle your cavalry" To which Grant
replied, "You will find him big enough
for the purpose before we get through
with him. accompanying With Grant"

On Sept. 8, 1887, at his cottage near
Durham, where he had lived in retirement
for many years, died Borulwaski, Polish
count, but who had made this country the
home of bis latter days Though low Of
STATURE he was OF high birth and breed
ing, which no doubt has caused his case
to be frequently mentioned.
He was born in November, 1880, in the
reign of George II, and, as he did not die
till the first year of that Of Queen Victoria,
at the age of 90 years, he lived during
those of five British sovereigna At year
Of age he had attained to only ii inches in
stature; at 8, to II inches; at 30, to SO
inches and at 80, to 80 inches And he
had q sister, named Apastasia, seven years
younger, who, when full grown, was
shorter than himself by head and shout
ders, 30 that she could stand under his
arm. But, though 20 small In stature, he
was handsome man, his body being Of
the most perfect symmetry, and he was,
moreover, not only wit, but something
Of scholar and an accomplished gentle-
man, his mind being cultivated to an ex-
traordinary degree by travel and study, for
he had visited various lands and many Of
the royal courts Of Europe. In earlier lifo
he had been exhibited and had appeared az
an actor, and George Nv, as Prince OF
Wales, had seen and known him in those
days

SEEDS BORNE FAR BY WATER.

Float Away and Give the Parent Plant
Room to Grow.
IT Is good for plants to keep as much
APART as possible II the seed%ell straight
to the ground and the young plants all
grew up together around the parent one,
they would starve each other out, for
plants are like people and when crowded
too closely together fall to fighting among
themselves. Their struggles are very bit
ter ones, though We do not see or hear
them. The plants that are strongest In
these silent battles end by getting the light
and air and water and food they need from
the soil, while tho poor weaklings are loft
to starve nnd die. To prevent too much
of this wasteful crowding and struggling
old Dame Nature has Invented many
clever little scheme.
When trees or smaller plants grow on
river banks, their fruits often fall into the
water and are carried down stream by the
current, sometimes finding landing places
on the banks and so growing up into new
plants. Who has not seen sycamore balls
and buckeyes travelling along In this easy
fashion, These are the fruits Of the trees
they grow on. Fruit is the part Of the
plant that incloses the seed with the seed
itself So the dry pods that hold tho black
morning glory seeds are as truly fruits as
are apples or straw erries, though We
commonly use the word only for those that
are good to cat
1t often happens that, on small islands
in rivers, trees and flowers are found that
do not grow on the neighboring banks.
These have come down the river, some
times from the mountains wherei 1t rises, In
the shape Of fruits and have found lodging
on the island during high water. Some
times fruits are thus borne quite out to
SEQ, and then they may be caught up by
ocean currents and carried long distances.

The most celebrated bell in the United
States ia that known as the Liberty boil
in Philadelphia. 1t was imported from
England in 1852, cracked BY trial stroke
and recast IN Philadelphia by Isaac Nor
ris. On the 4th Of July, 1910, this bell
announced the signing Of the Declaration
Of Independence. 1t was again cracked
while being rung in honor Of Henry Clay's
visit to Philadelphia and since then has
beon on exhibition in Independence hill

from Leyiticus, twenty-fifth chapter, tenth
verse, "Proclaim liberty throughout the

wrathful at the indignity put upon
their colonel. Some of them had step
ped inside the quarters and were quiet
" examining their belts and equip
ments and counting the cartridges in
their boxes. Ormsby, sharing the sup
pressed excitement, had FASTENED out to
Join his friends of the Twelfth, his
nerves tingling again at the thought OF
the possibility of skirmish, and now he
stood with Fenton close at hand, wait
ing eagerly for the first developments.
But little time was wasted. There
was brief parley between the lieuten-
ant with the troopers and formidable
looking Indian who seemed to lead the
others Then the officer turned and sent
man galloping back to the post. In
four minutes he was in the colonel's
presence, dismounted and making his
report
big Roads compliments-I mean,
the lieutenant's compliments strand
Big Road sends his delegation for three
wagon loads of meat, -four, sugar and
coffee, sir. and says as the colonel hasn't
come to see him he's going to move"
The colonel laughed-the first laugh
since Christmas, somebody remarked at
the time. Are you sure there's no mis-
take, Fallon?" he asked the messenger.
"That's what the lieutenant asked
the Indians, sir, but we have two OF
T. troop with us-what's left Of 'em
One Brule and t'other Ogalalla, and
they both translate it the same way, and
Bat is with us, too, sir and he says It's
like Big Road when he gets liquor in
him. He thinks he's lord of the earth.
Bat says he's drunk now, and believes
the colonel will be glad to do as no de-
mands for fear of him."
"Well, who brought the message?
Who's that big buck in the lead there9"
"That's One Eyed Bull, sir-him
that was nursed in the hospital here
after the fight three years ago. "
. "Bull? He ought to know better than
to bring any such message" said Fen
ton reflectively. II presume he dare
not refuse, however. Mr.. Adjutant,
mount Fallon's horse, gallop out there,
and tell Bull to tell Big Road to 60 to
the devil. That's all OH that head. Cap

1t was the first time that any one had
seen Fenton mad, as Amory put it,
when the group broke up. Either Big
