ORIGIN OF THE MUSTAcHE
Chicago Antiquary Uncarths Manu- script Telling the History
 of the Fad.

A Chicago antiquary found in an old Spanish manuscript the other day the story of the mustache's origin. "We owe the mustache to the Spaniards," he said afterward. to Baltimore Herald man. "The Spaniards adopted it to distinguish themselves from the Moors. After the Moorish invasion. you see. Moors and Spaniards were so inextricably mixed,up that it was impossible to tell them apart. But the Spaniards were Christians, and therefore they decided to wear a cross upon their faces a mustache and chin tuft. or goatee. This hair cross became the fashion all over Spain. and gradually i, spread to other lands. Before that time men had either gone clean-shaven or fully bearded Now they adopted first the mustache and chin tuft, and finally the mustache alone. When you stroke the thatch on your upper lip, remember that you are strokirg part of the true cross, and when you see man with both mustache and chin tuft. point out to him that he should live up to the declaration of faith that his face makes"

SNAKE HEARS IN TONGUE.
So Declares Student of Reptiles and He Says They Have
 No Ears.

Alien s. Williams, who has spent his summer in the mountains of New York. studying snakes, according to the Detroit News-Tribure, says: Tt is true that snakes have no ears. but have discov- cred that they can hear through their tongues. A snake can live for two years without feeding. have known cases where snakes have come to life after they had been frozen as stiff as walk ing stick. Last January two sf my black snakes were frozen so hard that could have broken them in pieces. My wife nut them On hot water bags, and in an hour they began to show signs of life. Wren about four inches cf their bodies were thawed out she began feeding them hot mil;;. and it was not long until they were wriggling about the parlor floor as good as new Mir. Williams said that recently one of his snakes was suffering from indigestion. He found that he had swallowed a large hens egg. and in or der to cure him he hit him on the back and crushed the egg. after which the reptile recovered.

THE HEHOMESTEAD ACTS
ALMOST FIFTY YEARS SINCE
 THE FIRST WAS PASSED.
This Great Change in the Land sys- tenn Made Only After Hard and Persistent Battle by
 Its Adherents.

Recently, before the American For est Congress. bitter attacks were made on various features of the homestead laws, which makes the reader ask con- cerning. the length of time these laws have been in operation, something con- corning their origin, and the results of their operation.
 It was back in 1852 that the granting of national free homes from and on the public domain became a national ques- tion. The free soil democracy adopted this plank in their platform: That the public lands of the United States belong to the people. and should not be sold to individuals nor granted to corporations. but should be held a sacred trust for the benefit of the people. and should be granted in limited quantities, free of cost, to landless settlers"
 It grew into burning question. and war was waged anent it until its passage

VAUDEVILLE.

The hold which John Ford and Mayme Gehrue have on the affections of the patrons of the Jacques was never better shown than at the mat inee this afternoon when this, the most finished dancing team on the boards, made the initial appearance of the week which ends their appear ancc in Waterbury as far as vaudc. vile is concerned. The applause which greeted Mir Ford on the conclusion of his famous eccentric dance was almost deafeni,lg, and when he and Miss deh. rue made their whirlwind finish there was more than one pair of broken gloves and hands wearied from clap ping. Mfr Ford justified all that has been said of his marvellous work and the local stage has never seen anyone who approached him in the graceful ness of his movements and the ease with which he executes the most in. tricate steps in fancy dancing. Miss Gehrue still dances with all her for. mer nerve and abandon and the sue cess which met the pairs efforts thii afternoon was due as much to hc' prettiness and cleverness as to her narfner's skill.
