Probably the longest beard in the
world is that OF a metal worker in Van
denene. rear Nievre. France. The man
is "a years old and in perfect health.
When II years Of age he had beard six
inches long. II grew from year TO year.
and now his hirsute attachment whea
unrolled has reached the respectable
length of ten feet and ten inches When
this man goes out walking he carries
his beard rolled up in big skein under
the arm. as the Roman senators carried
their togas. In winter time he winds
his beard several times around the
neck. using it as boa. Since the man
is rather small in size. measuring bu:
five feet three inches, the beard is more
than twice the mans height.

The influence of various occupa-
tions upon health and longevity is the
subject of an interesting investigation
just completed by an officer of the
registrar generals department of the
British Government, A vast collec-
tion of figures, comparative tables,
etc., has just been issued as public
document, and some of the deductions
from them are instructive and of in
terest. First and foremost comes
overwhelming proof that work or oc-
cupation of some sort is the greatest
promoter of longevity. 1t is almost
alone in England of all civilized coun-
tries that this fact can be brought out
clearly in public statistics, for it is
only in England that the leisure class
so called, is sufficiently large for the
comparison to be made.

"An officer who permits himself to
be insulted by civilian without i'm
mediately killing him will be dis
missed" is the unwritten law of the
German Army. If the ''insulter" be-
longs to the class of those who fight
duels he must be challenged; if not,
he must be finished off at once. A
case in point occurred at Augsburg
recently, relates the New York Sun.
An officer in private clothes was struck
by clerk. The soldier, who had a
revolver in his pocket, did not use it,
but took action against the other in a
law court. His assailant was con-
dcmned to twelve days imprisonment.
But the matter did not rest there, for
the Regimental Officers Court OF
Honor assembled and compelled the
officer to resign because he had moi
adequately upheld the dignity of his
rank. In other words he had not com
mitted murder.

EAlbert of Flanders has left. The
royal suite which the Prince occupied
at the Waldorf-Astoria is the most ex-
pensive set of apartments in the great
hostelry. They have been occupied
only three times; once by a PhiIadel-

few minutes and by the Prince. What
the Princes bill was would not be
divulged by the clerks. Those familiar
with the run of prices said it did not

Manufactured Nests For Bass.

Men engaged in the work of fish
breeding have noticed that black bass
often had trouble with their nests.
Sometimes they could not find enough
suitable material on the bottom TO
build them as they wished, and at
other times the storms or currents
would destroy them after the bass had
spawned, thus causing the loss of all
the eggs.
1t is extremely difficult to propagate
black bass artifcially, and this led the
breeders to supply artificial nests for
the use of the bass. They are made
of earthenware and have little gravel
cemented in the bottom. The fish
have taken kindly to them and lay

LOVES BELIEF.

Dear heart, and truest, II l die
Before you do, and over me
The clover blossoms WOO tho bee,
And little violets sweet as shy,
Peer through the grass above my face
To meet your eyes when you come near
Lean down and listen. You will hear
A whisper stirring in the place,
Aud in that whisper you will know
The voice you loved to hear Of old
Telling the love no words have told,
And as your footsteps come and go
About your tasks, the whole day through
Loves message, whispered by the flowers
Will I'LL with gladness all the hours,
For you will knowI think of you.
For we'll know that love will thrill
This frame of mine IL / were dead,
Aud you came near my grave and said,
Dear heart, do you remember stili'"
And when felt the su bite stir
OF love that dies not, would make
You conscious of the truth and take
The flowers for my interpreter.
