THE PASSING OF THE BEARD.
Nothing Is presently palmer in

Nothing is presently palmer in a
world that loves its little mysteries,
and likes to keep the observer in a
state of tremulous suspense about a
good many things, than the fact that
ii is beginning to shave again. 1t has
always shaved, more or less, ever
since boards came in some fifty years
ago, after a Punishment of nearly two
centuries from at least the Anglo-Sax-
on face. During all the time since the
early 1S50's the full beard has been
the exception rather than the rule
The razor has not been suffered to
rust in disuse, but has been employed
in distiguring most physiognomies in
the personal caprice of the wearers of
hair upon the face, where nature has
put II for reasons still of her own.
For one man who let nature have
her way unquestioned by the steel
there have been ninety-nine men who
have modified her design. Some have
shaved all but a little spot on the I'M
der lip; others have continued the inn
perial grown there into the pointed
goatee; others have worn the chin
beard, square cut from the corners of
the lips, which has become in the
alien Imagination distinctively the
American beard; others have shaved
the chin and let the mustache branch
across the checks to meet the flowing
fringe of the side-whiskers; others
have shaved all but the whiskers
shaped to the likeness of a muttor
chop; the most of all have shaved the
whole face except the upper lip ant
worn the mustache alone.
All these fragmentary forms o
beard caricatured the human counte
nance and reduced It more or less t,
n ridiculous burlesque of the homes
visages of various sorts of animals
They robbed ii OF the sincerity whicl
is the redeeming virtue of the clean
shaven face and of the dignity whicI
the full beard impaired no less to mic
die life than to age,-Harper's Weekly

A MiIIionaire's Sound Advice.

1t was a pretty as well as an appro-
pirate compliment which a wealthy
philantnropist in Central New YORK
paid the other day to Mr.. George W.
Perkins, the well known financier,
when he caused to have printed upon
a thousand rulers given away to
school children the following quota
ton from Mr.. Perkins: TOO many
young men in this country don't want
to work hard. They prefer to take
things easy, stay up late at night and
lie abed too long in the morning. They
never can get ahead that way. Time
and conditions may change, but the
old rule remains the same, that there
is no success without keeping ever
lastingly at it." Wiser words to keep
before the eyes of American boys and
girls could hardly be found than these.
1t will be remembered that Mr. Per-
kins has come up to his present high
and commanding position in the com.
mercial world from one of the hum
blest and lowest positions in the
ranks. He was once an Office boy to
a member of the firm of ]. Pierpont
Morgan.

A ROBIN HOOD" MIsHAP.
How n. c. Barnabee Nearly Broke UP
a Bostonian Performance.


There was a serious stage wait one
night at the Academy of Music, New
York, during the Bostonians' engage
ment which, but for the ready wit OF
Grace Van Studdifori and w. H. Mac
Donald, would have necessitated the
ringing down of the curtain in the mid
die of the second act of Robin
Hood" Many who knew the opera
well, thought Harry 3. Smith had in
/ troduced new scenes to add to the IN
terest of the revival, but Little John
banter with Lady Marian was all i'm
promptu, though almost as bright as
the original dialogue. Several minutes
were gained by this, and several more
by the repeated refrain of Brown
October Ale," which was taken up by
the chorus, off stage, moving farther
and farther away. This was fine ef-
feet and may be permanently retained
in the opera.
The cause of the trouble was H. c.
Barnabee himself, who, but for being
one of the owners, would have been
fined SO by the stage manager. Mr.
Barnabee had changed from the shel-
ifs handsome costume to his disguise
as tinker, and having few minutes
to spare decided to take a peep from
behind the curtains of one of the side
boxes at the water fall of the Sher-
wood Forest set, which he had never
seen in operation with the changing
lights of the calcium.
There is a standing order at the
academy that the doors on each side
of the state leading from the boxes
shall be locked during the perform
ance, the manager of the house ana
the manager of the company each haN-
ing key. mis- is to prevent the
artists leaving ty any other way than
the stage door and members of the
audience from gaining entrance to the
stage. One of the managers hao
passed through moment before and
left the door aiar.
Mr.. Barnabee as he went out into
the corridor drew the door to and did
not notice that it had fastened with
'click" until he tried to get back. The
voices of the chorus drowned all the
noise ne made hammering at the door.
He waited until almost the last mo-
ment when the cue is given for his
entrance with the thinkers and, see
ing it was his only chance, he made
hsty exit by the front Of the theater
in Irving place and thence into
Fourteenth street to the stage door.
Here there was more trouble. The
museum across the way was just let
ting out its audience and the sidewalk
was filed with people. Mr.. Barnabee
in his tinker's garb, that had done
service ever since robin Hood" was
first produced thirteen years ago, all
ragged and ancient like rip Van
Winkle," had the appearance of an
escaping wild man and the crowd got
around him in a uwinkling. A police
man made rush for Mr.. Barnabee,
and for one of the working staff of the
Bostonians at the stage entrance it is
likely that the comedian would have
found himself under arrest
Mr.. Barnatee in his excitement to
get on the stage, made his entrance on
the wrong side for the first time in
his life, but he never played the scene
better.

The One Hypothesis.

These facts are pregnant with
meaning and can be explained only
on the hypothesis that there was a
common center from which these
plants and animals were distributed.
Considering further that the present
continental masses were essentially
the same in the eocene time as now,
and that the north polar region then
enjoyed a subtrOpical climate, as is
abundantly proven by fossil plants,
we are forced to the conclusion that
this common center of dispersion lay
approximately within the arctic circle
The evidence in support of this view
will be fully elaborated in Forthcoming
contributions. Moreover. the discus
sion of the relationships of the groups
of the above mentioned primates will
bring out many new facts bearing
upon the simian ancestry of man.

You can say that 1 will not be

figure on who the possible candidates
will be. Of course the friends of Gov
ernor Mcbride are at work and will
soon begin an active campaign in his
interests. There is considerable quiet

better than it has been for several

on the ratification by Panama Of the

Twenty eighth mountain battery will

The purpose in making provision for
sending soldiers Is to free the admirals

the responsibility Of preserving order
on land.
If Colombia should make an attempt
to send troops overland, this govern
ment will not wait for the ratification
Of the treaty. The mere fact that
Colombia undertook to do anything Of
that kind would be considered men

OF the United States that there must
be no fighting on the isthmus.
