BIG MUsTACHEs NOW A FAD.
War Talk Has Started a Tendency to
Grow Fierce Hirsute APP
pendaSes.

New York BARRIERS, who are of an OBJ
servant turn of mind, have noticed
since the crisis with Spain became
acute and war talk was in the air every
where, that their customers are run
ming to big mustaches. That is, when
the mustache is willing to grow big.
During the last year or two the heavy
military mustache had been on the de-
cline. People whose hirsute appen-
dages are naturally bold and heavy
got into the habit of trimming them
closely, and heavy mustaches became
so rare, except among police captains,
that their wearers attracted attention
in public.
Now this is all changed. Military
mustaches bristle up fiercely in increas-
ing numbers, and heavily
men no longer look odd. The pro-
prietor of quaint little barber shop
in Second avenue. whose patrons in
clude number of members of the g.
A. r., told the result of some of his
observations to Journal reporter the
other day: Sss5
Il was a young man, and worked as
a iourneyman barber in Magdeburg
Germany, shortly before the Franco

had mustaches as a rule kept them
trimmed, but as soon as the war talk
broke out military mustaches were the
go. The smaller the man the bigger
the mustache. People who had not
sweeping mustaches naturally and had
1uXuriant whiskers got me to so shave
the face that part of the whiskers
looked like a continuation of the mus
tache. The same thing is happening
here now, and the mustache craze is
nothing to what it will be a month
later. 1t is pathetic to see people with
small mustaches trying to get them
curled UP so as to look fierce. Of course
the craze has only struck certain per-
centage of the people, but there is no
saying when it will become epidemic

a photograph from number of others.

Use not to mention the mans name"
The reporter gave the required prom
Use and was shown the photograph. IT
was that of middle-aged man, with an
enormous mustacne, which fell like a
curtain over his mouth. There hal
been no attempt apparently to part the
muSfache.
Now, that man. he continued, "up
to a month or six weeks ago, used 10
keep his muStache trimmed closely, sc
as to look as young as possible. He's
very proud of this photograph
Another face was shown with a pair
of sweeping mustachios, which swept
down almost TO the wearer's shoulders
A third had mustache of enormous
proportions which stuck out like a
broom. Photographs of other men
were shown with mustaches of weird
and uncanny proportions, the wearers
of which had gone about closely shaver
before the war scare began.
The proprietors of other barber shops
who were seen said they were doing 2
big trade in hair restorers amongyoune
men who wanted to raise mustaches
One man who had preparation which
was labeled ''mustache promoter" said
he was doing land-office business.

men since Butcher" Weyler's picture

over again whether the enerafting of French
and German dishes upon the bill of fare of
the better class of American restaurants is
or is not an improvement. Many pretend
that before their introduction our cooking
was coarse, barbaric. This is an open ques-
ton, but no bill of fare presents attractions
to the dyspeptic, but they, like the bilious,
malarious and persons with weak kidneys,

A SCHOOL GIRLS BATTLE.

Miss Emma Rybolt, prepossessing school
girl of Milford, Ind, is of more than usual
Intelligence, and is ambitious to rise in the
literary world
an the fall of 1885, said Mrs. Rybolt.
Emma was taken i'll. She was close stu
dent and her work began to tell on her.
She grew weak, pale and nervous, and COM
plained of pains in her back, chest and limbs.
A few weeks passed and she grew worse.
The doctor said she was a victim of ner-
vous prostration, and should have been
taken from school weeks earlier. She gradu-
ally grew worse, her nerves were SO tense
that the least noise irritated her and she had
fever and a continual twitching in her
muscles. The symptoms were much like
St Vitus' dance.

ago. The recruiting officer told me that
all the recruiting offices had calls from
many deserters who sought reinstatement
in the service. They are not arrested, as
the fact that man comes in and gives
himself up is proof that he is anxious to
expiate his fault and serve his country in
time of need. Only nominal punishment is
being meted out to deserters who return
now. An old Army officer tells me that
the greatest reason for desertions Is lack
of activity. When there is any fighting to
be done the deserters are few. Men en-
gagged in the West some years ago rarely
deserted, as there was always prospect
of brush with Indians.
