February Era.
Literary London of the past Is rich in as
sociations and the Fleet street Of to-day with
it's crowding buses, narrow walks and old
buildings is favorite thoroughfare for those
who know the Temple and the neighborlng
haunts of Johnson, Lamb and Goldsmith. The
entrance to Bolt court is d1ngy passage
through which DR.. Samuel Johnson used to
roll in his ponderous purblind way. He lived
the last eight years of his life at No. Bolt
court. and died there in December, 1874. Near

floor. wooden benches and brass tablet on
the wall behind the favorite seat OF DR.. sam

searchers after local color
The Cheese OF to-day is still good place
for a lunch or a dinner with pewter OF
musty ale.
No place in London, however, is richer IN
associations than the Temple. IN the little
court, besides the church, is the tomb OF
Goldsmith, and the Temple church, stained
with the CRIME of London and worn Win
time, is a perfect storehouse OF memories.

the Temple Boswell, who visited him there
for the first time, says: His chambers were

HE NEEDS A SHAVE
A Frenchman Who Has More Hair on
His Face Than Any Other Man.

Jean Coulon needs shave more .baoly

lay in the length Of his hair, this French
man would be very Hercules =.
His beard measures 10 feet 1Oh inches
in length, while his mustache Is over
yard and half long.
OF course, he has taken his time to cul-
tivate these amazing adornments, as you
may gather from the fact that he Is 70
years Of age. He is very proud OF them,
and this is perhaps one reason among
many why he does not permit the vulgar
to gaze on his grandeur every day OF the
week. The inhabitants Of Mantlucon, in
the Department Of Allier, where Coulon
resides are very proud OF him, and by
way of acknowledging their appreciation
the man with the unlimited beard exhibits
his luxurious growth to all and sundry
who care to come and see him any Sun
day. Indeed, it may be said that for him
the Sabbath is scarcely day or rest, Tor
when not on view he is carefully dressing
his amazing appendage and mustache.
During the week he rolls his beard In
sort of bag so that he may be able to 60
about his occupation the more convent
emily. Those of the present generation
who are inclined to envy him need not
despair of emulating his achievement, for
they must remember that Coulon's beard
has taken seventy-six years to attain Its
present remarkable growth. From the
earliest times the beard has been consid-
cred by most all nations a sign Of
strength, and an ornament of manhood,
and has therefore, been carefully cher
ished: Some nations, indeed, regard the
beard as sacred. These include the Arabs
and Persians, among whom Coulon ought
to be held in exceedingly high esteem.

Coulon does not constantly carry comb

pick up and preserve for entombment
| with his remains when he shall come to
| die those hairs which fall out or break
! off when he dresses his venerable beard.
| Nor, like these same Arabs and Per-
! SLAMS, does he dye his beard for he pre-

DOUBLING COLORED MINISTER
Did Not Know 1t Was Andrew Carr
.-... neEie. r.
, New. York Times

To-
Andrew Carnegie lately told, this story:
He said he found himself in sleepy
little town in Georgia on Sunday, and
he determined to visit the colored church.
He arrived after the service had begun,
and took a seat in the last pew.
When the plate was passed he dropped
a $50 banknote on 1t. The old man who
passed the plate put, it down at once, ex-
amined the note carefully ,on both sides,
and then counted the change in the plate.
This finished, he picked up the plate and
marched solemnly to the front Instead
of placing it on the little table, in front
Of the pine pulpit, however, he carried
it around to the pulpit stairs, and handed
1t to the minister. He whispered to the
pastor eagerly, nodding first at the $50
note and then at Mr.. Carnegie. The
minister put the plate on the pulpit,
fingered the note, blinked once or twice,
and said: -.
"Bre'ren, de Lawd hab ben mighty good
to US dis day. De collec' shun mounts to
$1.24, en- If de $50 bill wha' dat man wild
de gray ha'r zen beard, who am sittin, in
de back seat, put in de plate, am good,
we have $51.24. Let us tank de Lawd, en-
pray dat it may be good BILL
Mr.. Carnegie slipped out of the church
just before the prayer was finished and
left the town before the doubling minister
discovered his identity.

Sioux City, Iowa, March 21.-When the
drill Of Douglas Cameron, expert coal
driller, conducting the prospecting for the
Sioux Beet Syrup and Preserving company
near jackson, Neb., yesterday tapped al
depth of 1877 feet a vein Of first grade
bituminous coal, discovery was made OF
untold value to Sioux City and Dakota
county, Nebraska. ~~
Coal has been found before in Nebras-
ka, but it has always been species OF
Ignite. The coal found yesterday was
in the third vein, and Mr.. Cameron, after
examining it, declared it to be the hardest
grade of soft coal.
The vein is but eight inches thick, but
Mr.. Cameron seems to consider this of nc
consequence. for he has moved his drill
half mile north. He says from the
formations he is willing to predict third
vein Of five feet thickness at the new To-
cation. 49, ~'.--'-'.. 8. .4- III 80.

Wing training school, in St. Paul to-day
held an extended conference with Messrs.
,Leavitt and Gould of the state board of

The board has never taken final action
on the charges made against the officers
of this school. The evidence has been on
hand for two months, but apparently no
decision has been reached. 1t is believed
that the board will announce decision in
few days either generating the super
intendent and his assistants or fixing the
blame. 1t is understood that V. A. Smith

candidate for the superintendent
place, if it should be vacant. He has
