DEER PARKS IN ENGLAND.
Hyde Park, in City of London, Once
Included in List.


Within the memory of many
persons still living there were, it
seems, deer in Hyde Park, Lon
don, says the Westminster Ga
zette. A writer in the Edinburgh
Review tells us that under James
l. some deer stealers we're taken
and executed at the park gates.
After the restoration the park
was restocked. 1t was then Jul
rounded by a brick wall, which
lasted until 1926, when a new wall
was built. 1t was this wall which
Mr.. Bigham's horse twice jumped
in the presence of some distin.
guished spectators in 1902. The
iron railing replaced tie wall
about 1925. The herd of fallow
deer remained until the year of
Queen Victoria's coronation, when
a great fair was held in the park,
and the deer we're removed to
Bushey park.
The king of England, who at the
Conquest possessed eight deer
parks, is still the owner of four
Windsor, Richmond, Greenwich,
and Bushey. Windsor Great
park, the second largest in Eng
land, is also one of the finest, and
contains about 1000 fallow-deer
and 100 red deer. Cranbourne
park, which contains a small herd
of white deer, is really a part Of
the Great park. Bushey park is
next in size to Richmond park,
and like the two others, contains
a large herd of fallow deer and a
few red deer. Greenwich park is
under 200 acres. The wall round
it was built in the reign of James
l., and the fallow deer still sur
vive.
The duke of Dcvonshire, who
owns Chatsworth, Hardwicke,
Bolton and Holkar, is the only
subject who has as many deer
parks as his sovereign. But about
Is other persons are theownersof
more than one. When Mr.. Shir-
ley wrote his book in 1867 he was
able to describe 1884 parks, then
containing deer, but since his time
over so that he mentions have
ceased to be stocked with deer.
According to another authority,
there were in England in 1892 no
fewer than 400 parks or pad
docks with deer in them. The
largest Of these is Savarnakc
park, in Wiltshire, which has over
1000 acres. Next in size come
Windsor. Knowslcy, Fridge, Dun
combc, B!enhcim and Buckhurst,
which are all over 1000 acres.
There are a great number of 9th
ers which attain respectable d.
mansions and are over LOGO acres.

RANIcUREs MOT NEEDED.
Advice from On Expert Concerning
the Care Of the Nails.

hQVICS 1IOIu III Expert CONCERNING
the Care Of the Nails.
The manicure has become near.
~ as important in every barber
Aop as the brush boy. The habit
81 being manicured is more gen.
tFal than ever before.
At the same time, says the New
York Sun, among men who have
been long accustomed to the ser
vices OF manicures there has for
the past few years been a reaction
among them. Manicures are no
longer useful, these men say;
most of them have had inadequate
preparation and in the so-callcd
manicure parlors they try to at
tend to too many customers.
The practice OF having regular
~ the services of a manicure in
lures the nails eventually unless
the operators are skillful and
careful. If they try to produce
with strong acids the effects that
should be produced by slow and
deliberate work, the nails will be
ultimately spoiled.
"Any man can keep his nails
looking as we'll as he could want
them," said a chiropodist who
looks upon a manicure as an en-
tirely unnecessary evil. "By own
ing a few pieces of emery paper,
an ivory nail cleaner, a piece Of
pumicc stone and above all else
stiff nail brush, lie can do without
the services of a manicure.
"The nailbrush is the most i'm
portant implement. Hard rubbing
of the nails with q stiff brush will
do more for them than anything
else in the world.
ut keeps the nails naturally
white, and gives the effect that
manicurcs try to produce with
acids. The stiff brush also tends
to prevent the hang nails, as the
bits Of flesh that cause them are
removed when they are very small
and before they develop into a
serious abrasion.
"The small emery papers that
are to be had for less than a cent
apiece keep the nails short and en-.
able anybody who uses them to
shape the nails. The flesh about
the nail and at the base, which
most manicures cut, although tho
practice is very injurious and
they know it., can be kept from
growing over the nail by pushing
it gently backward when the
hands are damp and the flesh phi
able.
Cali these things can be done by
any man who will give half an
hour a week to the task. That will
be less than the manicure would
require. and his hands will look
we'll and stay that way, which is
more than they do under the care
Of q manicure"

OUR FRIENDS THE CLOCKS.
It's Good to Be on Terms Of Fam II
ieritY will, Them.

iarity will, Them.
"Public Clocks" said M. Stog-
gieton, according to the New York
Sun, "are not only a great pub;
lie convenience; it may easily be
that some particular clocks that
we pass daily, on our way to and
from work, we come to regard as
a sort of personal friend. Wheth-
er we want to know tho time or
not we are likely to glance at this
clock as we go by; we look for it
and become accustomed to seeing
it in it's familiar place, and should
miss it greatly if anything hap.
pened to it, Or it were taken away.
"And the same is true, in some
degree, though in a some what diff
ferent way, of weather vanes, the
weather vare is SO simple a thing
that we look upon it, so to speak,
more as a dumb creature, and so
we may not have that personal
feeling for it that we have for the
clocks, though we may regard it
with a friendly feeling, too. That's
one way in which the vane is diff
ferent, and then, of another, the
vane that we may come to know,
and that we are likely to consult,
is one that we have in view from
where we live.
"We consult the public clock,
the one that we come in a way to
know personally, while we are
away from home; our vane we con.
suit before we start, and not so
much to know what o'clock it is
in the clouds, but what the wealth.
er is going to be; to know, per-
haps, whether we shall go some.
where; whether we shall take a
parachute, and SO on.
"But while thus we do not have
for the weather vane quite the
same regard that we have for the
clock, we may yet come to have
a considerable fancy for one. ]
remember we'll a giant weather
vane, six feet high, l should say
in length, that for years turned on
the top of a flagstaff on the top OF
a building in plain view Of my
home. Many a time from my win
dow I have looked out at this
great weather vanc, and seen it
big as it was, turn gently in soft
breeZes, and many a time l have
seen it thrashing and swinging
wildly around in fierce gales, fair
~ making the stout pole that il
surmounted sway with the strain
"In fact this swaying of the pole
in gales led finally to their taking
the big vanc down and putting w
in its place for a finish to the pole
an ordinary gilded ball. I never
knew that we could miss 9 wealth
e. vane so much az l missed thai
one. 1t was a little shock to fni
it gone; and never got quite usel
to it's absence.
"In whatever new place I go t.
live I always look early to see il
there is a weather vane in sight
We are less likely, in fact, to FIND
such a weather vane in view from
our home, than we are to find q
clock in view on our way to and
from home; but I am pleased if
find such a yane, and, if it proves
trustv, glad to make friends with
it,"
