IID-BITS FROM HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE
THE "sCHNURRBARTBINDE"
London Answers.

1850 "
It is said by West End coiffeurs that
schnurrbartbindes will be fashionable this
season.
The German emperor first introduced
them into Germany. He has a large CO.
lection Of them. and needs one several
times day. Without them that fierce
upward twist OF his moustache would soon
disappear. A urrbartbinde is nothing
more or less than moustache- binder.
1t is continuance Of silk gauze on a
wire frame, two leather straps and two
pieces of elastic web.
The samples now here were brought
over. by young men, who are wearing the
ends OF their moustaches pointing upward
like church steeples. The maker AYERS
that the emperor Is the inventor.
: Inc schn-------, and all the rest of it,
is formed somewhat like bat with wings
extended. When Emperor William sum-
mons his hairdresser that functionary
brings a binder with him. His imperial
majestys moustache is tucked up as he
wears it, and the schnurrbartbinde is fas-
tened behind his head. It stays there un-
til the emperor has had his shampoo, and
all parts Of the face not covered by the
contrivance are shaved. Then the binder
is removed, and the result is that wonder
full upward twist.

TOAST TO OUR NATIVE LAND

Huge and alert, irascible yet strong, j
We make our titful way mid right and wrong
One time we pour out millions to be free,
Then rashly sweep an empire from the sea!
One time we pull the shackles from the slaves,
And then, quiescent, We are ruled by knaves.
Often we rudely break restraining bars,
And confidently reach out toward the stars.
Yet, under all there flows hidden stream
Sprung from the Rock of Freedom, the great
dream IL IL. -. r..
OF Washington and Franklin men Of old
Who knew that freedom is not bought with
80. gold,
This the Land we love, our heritage,
Strange mixture Of the gross and fine, yet
sage '-....
And full of promise-destined to be great.
Drink to Our Native Land! God bless the
r State! ..-s
