 The students of Missouri university lave organized a club to promote the growth of whiskers. The by-laRs, which were adopted on Feb. II, are rigid and exacting No student will be permitted to shave before next April and something more than moustache is required The student who has the longest beard at the close of school is to be rewarded The club is said to owe its existence to the fact that the pupils became distressed at the re- marks regarding their extremely youthful appearance.

would not desert her in her hour Of need Mamie could not bring herself to believe that. After all. she had not got up to face the danger; she had only sat up in bed Evidently something more was required of her. She would make one more effort
 Summoning all her resolution to her aid, and in excited haste lest her cour age should melt away too soon, the ftt- tie girl jumped out of bed and walked toward the eye It seemed to disap pear as she moved, but she went stead fly on until she was stopped by com ing right mp against the window of her room
 Then she understood! The window was long, high one. without any shade, and as tue night was warm had been opened at the top to let in the fresh air. Through this opening q star had been peeping, It was sa high up in the sky that Mamie could only see it when she was close lip ta the window or from farther back iB the room, only by bending down as7 low as her head had been when il was lying on the pillow When she had sat up in bed. of course the wall Of the room had come between her and the star
 The mystery was explained Her big. burning, blazing, bogy eye had been nothing after all but d beautiful star shining into her room!
 Mamie, with much relieved mind, could not help laughing at herself, and feeling rather ashamed of herself, too. She felt that this would be a lesson to her for the future, and made up hee mind that if ever again in the course of her life she met with 8 bogy, she would not begin to be frightened at it until she had walked right up to it. and had looked it boldly in the face, for. F ,hans it might turn out to be only a star!

ALMA sCHREIBER.
Marehana snspeetsd the Ham.

Major Marchand, the adventurous French African explorer, is back in Paris. and his comrades of the expe- dition are telling the reporters tales of his sagacity, net the least interesting of which is the one which proves Mar chand has an intimate knowledge of the customs of eannibals. "A month or two before the expedition arrived at Fashoda the men had been without fresh meat for several weeks. Neither sheep nor game could be got for love nor money. And thus the joy of some of his troopers was great when, on reconnaissance. they came across & native hut, from the rafters of which a ham was hanging. The black pro- prietor willingly traded the ham for bright tin saucepan,the glitter Of which had flied his savage soul with joy. The soldiers handed over the ham to their company officer who determined to reserve it as a special present for Captain Marchand They rejoined the main body of the expedition, and the subaltern, with much complaisance, went to the captain ham i'll hand.
 Captain, he said. I have some thing nice for you. I don't exactly know if it's bacon, but it's smoked meat, anyWayi'
 "Marchand smiled. Where did yoa get it?' he asked When the circum- stances had been detailed, he said:
 You would do we'll, think, to ride out to that village and find out if it is bacon or pork. For my part, l have my doubts.
 < Of what, captains? rejoined the off cer.
 :" We'll replied Marchand perhaps you don't know that the Nyam- Nyams are addicted to cannibalism when game is scarce, as it is now
 The subaltern was a man endowed by constitution and circumstances with a healthy appetite. But the possibili- ties suggested by his commander in- duced him to investigate before taking further steps. So he went out to tie village, this time with rather more numerous eseort-he had no desire to be eaten himself-singled out the sometime owner of the ham, and ques- toned him vigorously in the sign lan- guage as to the origin of the ham. The negro smiled, patted his thigh ap- T1eciatively, and smacked his lbs. The smoked flesh was the thigh joint of slave, who, as afterward appeared. was killed for the purpose at a native ceremony. It was eventually handed over to the surgeon of the Machand expedition, who buried it. after examination. at the foot of a tree. l wonder if he was watched while doing so by a negro with a bright tin saucepan in bis hand?"
 Davltt's Prison Record.
 MT. Michael Davitt, Nj. P. for South Mayo, Ireland, has a prison record which in many ways is unrivalled among journalists. In 1870 he was sen tenced to fifteen years penal servitude, and released on ticket-of-leave seven years later; in 1881 he was sent back again to prison and released in the fol- lowing year. His period of liberty was short, however, for in 1883 he was again in prison for three months It was as a convict in Portland prison that he was first elected as member pr parliament, and that he wrote his Leaves from Prison Diary

The Conceit of the Beers.

Chicago, June 16.--A. c. Reich, who
has returned to Chicago after bust
ness experience in the Transvaal, said
in an interview: About 10000 Beers
hold the whip hand over zoo, 900 white
men, mostly English and American
and 100000 Kaffirs. So nearly absolute
is the rule of Kruger that nothing
short of war with England will ac-
complish the downfall of the Boer re-
public. The Beers firmly believe they
can whip the British, and should there
be a war most of the property owned
by foreigners would be destroyed. The
kaffirs and Uitlanders pay all the
taxes, and the Beers are grafters, pure
and simple"

Dsvery Tells why ne Did Not Stop
the ies-Fitxstmmons Fight.
New York. June 16.-The sittings OF
the Mazet investigating committee yes
terday proved interesting, and In at
least one instance exciting, but after
squabble with the minority members
over the matter Of adjournment the
sessions We're adjourned until Aug. /.
Chief of Police Devery was called
upon by Mr.. Moss to explain why he
first threatened to stop the Fitzsim-
mons-Jeffries prize fight and then went
to the ringside and allowed 1t to go
on to knockout finish. Chief Devery
admitted that he took an interest in
prize fighting. and upheld prize fight
ing and the Horton law. Devery said
the recent fight complied with the law
and was in all respects "clean cut
contest" He fenced great deal re-
garding whether Fitzsimmons was
knocked out, and ended up by saying
he thought the Cornish man had had
enough.
Testimony was given to the effect
that policemen were guilty of black
mailing disorderly women. This was
testified to by an 1S-year-old girl, who
had attempted to kill herself in Bow
cry music hall. She said the police
men had regular schedule of prices
for protection to the women of the
lower east side, which the women had
to pay under pain of arrest.
Committeeman Hoffman, on behalf
of the minority, submitted statement
in which he declared that the COM
mittee had SO far accomplished moth
ing; that many witnesses essential to
the inquiry, including Senator Thomas
c. Plat, his sons and Elihu Root and
Benjamin B. Odell had not been called,
and asked on behalf of the minority
that the inquiry be adjourned without
date

Montreal, June l6.-The fourth and
last race for the Ross cup, between the
Dominion and the Yankee, resulting in
a win for the Canadian boat by 2
minutes and ~ seconds. Canada thus
retains the cup. The race was sailed
over a triangular course, and this, it
was expected, would make the result
problematical. the two free runs being
expected to neutralize the Dominion $
admitted superiority in windward
work. The Yankee won but one of the
races, and this BECAUSE, the mast of the
Dominion was carried away. Had the
Yankee won yesterday the deciding
race would have been sailed today.
