Reverence For the neard.

Former reverence for the beard is
well illustrated by the story told of
Sir Thomas More, who was beheaded
for denying the supremacy of Henry
VIII. His usual cheerfulness did not
forsake him even on the scaffold.
Help me up" he said to one standing
by ''for my coming down let me shift
for myself" AS he laid his head on
the block he begged the eXecutioner to
wait a moment while he carefully
placed his beard out of reach of the
ak, for, he said. sit hath not commit
ted treason" which reminds one of the
story of Simon Lord Lovat, who the
day before his execution on Tower
hill babe the operator who shaved him
be cautious not to cut his throat, as
such an accident would cause disap-
pointment to the gaping crowd on the
morrow.-English Magazine.

ON SHAKING HANDS.
The Defensive Reason why the
Right Was First Used.

The Defensive Reason why the
Right Was First Used.
Did you ever stop to think about the
custom of shaking hands and wonder
why it is that we always shake the
right hand? Probably you have never
thought about it at all or If you have
yen think that the only reason for
using your right hand is that you were
taught not to use your left one, says
the Buffalo Courier. In reality this
custom, now so common, is a very an
cient one, and it originated in this way:
In the days when people were not SO
peaceable as they now are and when
each man settled his quarrels in his
own way every man carried a sword
or dagger to defend himself. This
sword was worn on the left side. where
the right hand could quickly grasp it
for use in time of peril.
Therefore when man wished to
show that he was friendly he extended
his right hand, which would be clasped
by the others right hand if he, too,
meant peace. Thus each could be sure
that the other would not draw his
sword.
With the dawn of more peaceful
times the custom lost it's one time pur-
pose, but it still retains it's original
meaning-to show friendship.

AIN Quaker wedding.

No clergyman is needed at a Quaker
wedding because the happy principals
perform the ceremony themselves.
This is the formula repeated by the
bridegroom at recent wedding,
"Friends here in the presence of the
Lord and in the divine presence l take
this, my friend, Edith Mary Hamburg
Aggs, to be my wife, promising in the
fear of the Lord and with divine as
sistance to be her faithful and loving
husband" The bride repeated a SINH
lar declaration, the certificate of mar
riage was signed by witnesses, short
addresses from Scriptural texts were
made, prayers were offered, and the
ceremony was ended.-Exchange

Atmosphere of Cexlon.


When visitors enter Horticultural
hall, in Philadelphia, they pant. The
heavy air, stagnant and warm and
moist, Expresses their lungs. But the
tropical plants in the hall would die
without this kind of air, and a man
said of it the other day: 1T is very
much like the air of Ceylon. Ceylon
has just such heat, and just such a
crushing, prostrating humidity as this.
Do you know that every European
house out there has among its serv-
ants a clothes airer - man whose
sole duty it is to air and beat the
clothes, which otherwise would be-
come covered with a thick white coat
of mildew in few hours? | took a
hundred and fifty dollar camera with
me to Ceylon. The dealer had war
ranted the wood to be perfectly sea-
soned, but had not been in the island
a week before my camera had warped
and fallen apart. The Ceylonese, in
their horrible climate, are healthy be
cause they eat no meat and drink only
water" -Philadelphia Record.

managed by him in person.
His entire life since the acquisition of
his enormous wealth has been marked
by unostentation and retirement. Of
quiet tastes, he gathered about him
fewer intimate friends than could be
counted on the hand and lived his life
in utter seclusion. The only reminder
of his presence to the public was the
constant aid given to charity, his bene-
factions in the way Of public improve
ments. His evenings In the winter
were spent reading and smoking or
chatting in his library with a few
friends. His bedtime was about $50.

ment about 1870.
The only boy in family Of nine chill
dren, Winfield Scott Stratton, was born
in Jeffersenville. Indiana, July 90, 1siS.
His father was mechanic and
draughtsman, partner in a firm of
boat builders, and after an education
In the city schools that lasted from his
fifth to his seventeenth year, young
Winfield, following his natural bent for
mechanics, served an apprenticeship Of
three years at the same work.
In the summer OF 1872, when lie was
twentyfour years Of age, he left Lin
coin, Nebraska, for the Pixies peak re-
gion in this state, arriving in Colorado
Springs in August of that year. with
a cash capital of $500. He soon se-
cured work at his trade, but on account
OF the close proximity of the mountains
became Interested in prospecting, and
the next year made his first venture il
mining.
He spent his summers mining in the
San Juan and his winters pounding in
his carpenter shop in Colorado ';prings.
While doing the practical work Of a
miner, Mr.. Stratton studied geology
and mineralogy, and in 1884 took a
course in assaying at Colorado College.
After becoming thoroughly conversant
with the blowpipe, the practicable pro-
cess for prospectors, he went to Breck-
cnridge and secured employment in the
Nashold mill, and there mastered the
process Of treating gold ores by ANAL
ganation.
His reyerses and successes until the
location of the famous Independence
mine on Battle mountain, ON July 4,
1891, are matters of mining history of
the state; and his development and sab
sequent sale of the big property to an
English syndicate for S10,0OO,00O is still
fresh in the minds of the people of
Colorado. The millions that he secured
from the sale of the Independence he
invested in well-located Cripple Creek,
Colorado Springs and Denver proper
ties, always pursuing the same con-
servative policy that had marked him
through life.
Stratton was married soon after he
came to Colorado Springs, thirty years
ago, but on account of differences with
his wife he was divorced about 1878.
He had one son, who IL still living with
his mother, who has since been mar-
ried, and they reside at Jeffersonville,
