He C0uldn,t Reach It.

The following anecdote concerning
the famous lecture on "The Holy
Land" which, it is said, Ex-Governor
Oglesby never succeeded in delivering
as he prepared it, is related in Franc
b. Wilkes pamphlet on the life of the
governor:
He had been invited to deliver this
lecture at a country town in Illinois
and accepted. A large crowd gathered
to hear him, and he was gNeted with
loud applause as he stepped forward
one hour and said in beginning he
would preface his lecture with n few
remarks on his experience in Europe.
At the end Of 2h hours he was still
talking about Europe, and because the
people seemed so delighted he an
nounced that he would deliver the lee.
ture the next evening.
The same people came back, re-en-
forced by many more, and at the end
of another two hours he stopped with
out having said anything about the
Holy Land, except to announce that as
his subject. The third night there was
a monster gathering, and Governor
Oglesby, after finishing up Europe,
started to say a few words about
Egypt and the Nile before beginning
his lecture. At last he looked at his
watch and, with look of astonish-
mcnt, turned to one Of his friends on
the platform and said:
"Well, here it is II o'clock, and I'll
be hanged if I've got to the Holy Land
yet."-Chicago Tribune.

Clean Barber shops.

There is not the slightest doubt that
the average barber shop is a means Of
disseminating many affections which a
little attention to asepsis could easily
prevent Many forms of alopecia are
due to parasitic organisms which are
probably acquired most frequently
through the unclean interventions Of
the barber. Some ready method of dis
injecting his tools of trade should be
devised and its use thoroughly en-.
forced. The towels should invariably
be boiled after use, instead of the per-
functory dampening and ironing which
is commonly employed. If such meas
ures were taken and insisted on, under
suitable penalty, metaphysics and
kindred ailments would become rare
indeed and our dermatologists would
miss many of the most annoying and
persistent affections which they are
now compelled to treat.-InternatiOn

A Pathetic Portrait.

There is peculiar portrait in Wash
ington which has created much inter-
est among those who know of its ex-
istence. It's popularity Is that every
year it has been changed to show tho
changes which time would have made
in the original. The portrait is by n
Washington artist and is that of his
wife and was painted many years ago
when she was young bride. A few
years after the portrait was painted
the young wife died, and so great was
the grief Of the artist that he deter
mined to keep her likeness with him
all the time, and to do so he decided
that year by year he would change the
portrait so as to make 1t grow old with
him.
Every year, on the anniversary Of
his wedding day, the artist locked him
self in his studio and changed the lines
Of the face Of the portrait, adding what
he thought would make the difference
of one year. There have been many
anniversaries Of that marriage day
and consequently many changes in the
portrait. Today the picture is that Of
an old woman, the hair turned gray,
the face wrinkled and pale, but still
beneath the marks of time, as made
by the brush of the artist, can be seen
the early beauty of the bride and the
attractiveness OF the young woman

A Girls Idea of BOYS,

At an examination in q certain school
for girls an essay on Boys" was
ordered written, and this was one Of
the compositions:
1.-THE boy is not an animal, yet he
can be heard to a considerable distance,
When boy hollers he opens his mouth
like frogs, but girls hold their tongue
till they are spoke to, and they answer
respectable, and tell just how it was
A boy thinks he is clever because he
can wade where it is deep, but God
made the dry land for every living
thing, and rested on the seventh day.
When the boy grows up he's called n
husband and stays out nights, but the
grew up girl is widow and keeps
house."
