PASSING OF THE BEARD.
sinee The EARLY Fifties II ksas Been
the Exception Rather Than the
Rale In America.

Nothing Is presently palmer in
world that loves its little mysteries,
and likes TO keep the observer in u
state of tremulous suspense about a
good many things, than the fact that
IL is beginning to shave again, says
Harper's Weekly. IL has always
shaved, more or less, ever since
boards came in some 80 years ago,
after a banishment of nearly two
centuries from at least the Anglo
Saxon face. During all the time
since the early SOS 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 dishgurlng most
physiogH0mies in obedience 10 the
prevalent fashion or the personal
caprice Of the wearers of hair upon
the face, where nature has put IL
for reasons still of her own.
For one man who let nature have
her way unquestioned by the steel
there have been 90 men who have
modified her design. Some have
shaved all but little spot ON the
under lip; others have continued the
imperial grown there into the point.
ed 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 mustaehe
branch across the cheeks TO meet the
flowing fringe of the side-whiskers;
others have shaved all but the
whiskers shaped to the likeness of
mutton chop; the most of all have
shaved the whole face except the up
per lip and worn the mustache alone.
All these fragmentary forms OF
beard earicatured the human counte-
nance and reduced IL more or less 10
a ridiculous burlesque of the honest
visages of various sorts of animals.
They robbed II Of the sincerity which
is the redeeming virtue of the clean
shayen face and of the dignity which
the full beard impaired no less to
middle life than TO age.

De Amicis, who has written so de-
lightfully Of Holland, justly praises
the Dutch cheese, wherein" he says,
"when once you have thrust your
knife you can never leave of until you
have excavated the whole, while de-
sire still hoyers over the she'll" New
ertheless, the visitor to Holland will do
well not TO let his enthusiasm run to
these depths, says Youths Companion,
The author Of "Holland and the Hol-
landers" declares that Dutch hostess
must have her cheese cut straight.
"Whoso cuts my cheese like a boat,
him | send out Of my house" is an old
saying
The Dutch are a people Of simple

BRITISH "LEGAcY SERMONS.
A singular Old-Time Custom Among
the Churches Of London and
Z Smaller Towna.

The Lion" sermon, recently
preached at st. Katherine Cree
church, in Leadenhall street, London,
in commemoration Of the escape Of
seventeenth century lord mayor
from the jaws Of a lion, recalls the
fact that there are quite a number
of what may be called legacy SER
mons in existence.
The citizens of Durham hear every
year what Is known as the "Acees-
sion sermon. IL has been preached
for scores Of years on the day of the
accession of the monarch ON the
throne. The discourse Is delivered
in the cathedral, and the preacher
selected is only allowed a quarter Of
an hour for his sermonizing. For
this he secures fee Of 10 guineas,
says the London Mail
The "IIortieulturap sermon, as IL
is called, Is delivered at Stepney. A
benefaetor of the church in the days
when Stepney was not SO densely
populated as II is now was desirous
that the claims of horticulture
should be brought before the people
at least once every year. According
ly therefore sermon dealing with
the beauties OF nature and the de-
lights OF gardening, and so ON, is
preached once every l2 months.
The fee is provided by special be-
quest.
An exceedingly curious and prob
ably absolutely unique custom pre-

mote village Of Buckland Newton, in
Dorchester. Once year people
come from miles round to hear the
annual Museum" sermon preached.
A straage minister generally comes
TO preach this remarkably titled dis
course, which takes its name from
the very peculiar circumstances un-
der which It is delivered. When he
goes into the pulpit he finds on the
desk in front of him several articles
OF various descriptions, but all OF
which are mentioned in the Bible.
lie does not know what articles he
Is going to find beforehand, but is
required 70 give an extempore dis
course on the spur Of the moment on
the things which he sees. bringing in
illusions and pointing out lessons
from the various Biblical illustra-
tions before him II win be seen
that the preacher would be In an
extremely awkward dilemma II he
did not know his Bible well.
The little ilag-Aoored church at
Downham, in Lancashire, possesses a
unique record on account Of the
"Assheton" sermon. Two hundred
and twenty-five sermons have been
delivered within its walls from two
texts. These two texts are job 10,
25-26, and Col. 3. "a.
When Sir Ralph Assheton, the
squire of Downham hall, died 222
years ago. he left a legacy Of four
pounds a year. Two pounds Of II was
to be distributed among the poor Of
the district. The other two pounds
was to be paid each year 20 differ
ent clergyman for preaching in
Downham church from one Of these
two texts on the anniversary OF the
squire's death. The terms Of the
legacy have been fHithfully carried
out ever since.

Personal AND LITERARY.

The poet Tennyson had great re-
spect for the power of the number
thirteen. He blamed the failure OF
his last political drama TO the fact
that on the night of It's presentation
he made one, for the first time In his
life, Of a party of thirteen at dinner.
The Duke OF Devonshire possesses
as an heirloom Claude Lorraine's
"Book Of Truth" which IS said TO be
one Of the rarest and most valuable
books in Europe. IL is, at any rate,
worth six times as much as the IA
nous "Mazarin" Bible, the most cost
~ book in the British museum. The
late duke refused 100000 for IL.

Charles Rozan, who for the pasb
fifty years has acted as special teach-
er Of French to German diplomats
appointed 20 Paris, has lately received
the order of the Red Eagle OF Prussia
and that Of ST. Michael Of Bavaria.
The orders were presented to the
Frenchman by Prince Radolin, Ger
man ambassador, and Baron Won der
Thanh, the Bavarian minister. Mr.
Rozan first came 10 touch with the
German embassy in 1852, when he
was introduced TO some officers, who,
being satisfied with his teaching, rec
commended him to the embassy. He
says that his German pupils re al

10 his French scholars, who did not
always profit by his lessons.

DUCK HUNTING.
The Law is Now off the Water Birds
of Maine.

| The law on ducks OF all kind and teal
went off at sunrise, last Tuesday morn
ing and as result the snortsrep are get
ing down 10 thelr fall campaign. AS is
well known the law on snpe and plover
went or Aug. l, and now the ducks added
to the list OF BIRDS which NAV be shot,
many hunters will sally forth in search
| of them. This section abounds in hunters
and soon the ducks should begin to be
quite common in the markets The class
of gunners who shoot merely for pleasure
and not Tor the market, will not probably
get away Tor any shooting before Satur-
day, however. On that day, though, large
numbers of amateur sportsmen will leave
town for the ponds, lakes and swamps
1t the prophecies of many old duck
hunters may be relied upon the ducks are
going to be plentiful this year From
many signs winch mean nothing to the
uninitiated the old gunners have read this
and their prophecies have already melted
many of the younger generation to take
up duck hunting. Duck shooting is as
good sport as can be found in d long time
if the birds are plentiful and the many
hunters who cannot get away until Satur
day are awaiting the coming Of that day
with much uneasiness. The fear that
some one may have been at their particu-
lar cunning place and have shot or fright
ened the birds there away constantly
comes to them as they think of the days
intervening before they get a chance with
the gun.
Many out of the State hunters have been
mquiring whether they will have to
take out a license to shoot ducks or not
and many of them seemed to be quite dis
turbed over the prospect When told.
however, that the license applied only to
large game. moose and deer, they became
much relieved In Knox, Lincoln Waldo
and Sagadahoc counties, however, and in
the towns of brunswick, IIarpswell and
Freeport, in the county of Cumberland. Il
license costing IS is necessary to shoot
ducks, teal or shore birds In any part of
Maine but 10 birds may he taken in one
day by one person and these birds may
not be exported except that one pair may
| be taken or sent out of the State on a
special tag costing so cents.

sought much medical assistance, but without
avail My trouble arose from over-work in
my profession, my health not having been
firm for years. The work l did would not

well. I used your remedy regularly for some
three months, and have used it since, as I
felt to need it. l have not used any other
