Forced to Sacrifice Beard.

The Wisconsin farmer whom Judge
Holland condemned, in lieu of a fine
which he could not pay, to have his
flowing beard cut off, may find consola-
tion in the fact that similar order
deprived a man in New York of long
and carefully cultivated whiskers a
few days ago. The man is employed
in a manufacturing concern where his
duties bring him in contact with rapid
moving machinery. The proprietor's
little son, in a visit to the factory,
stood near the machine which the
bearded man was operating and ask
ed: Don't the hair ever get mixed
up with the silk" The operator SIM
ply smiled, but the father, realizing a
danger, gave the man then and there
the option Of shave or discharge. He
chose the former.

hats on arrival at Bellegarde in the
Geneya-Paris express declared moth
ing and ostentatiously opened their
baggage at the dounane.
An official. however, noticed that
they seemed to experience much diff
Guilty in balancing their large hats on
their heads and the ladies were re-
quested to pass into private room,
where their headgear was examined.
The roofs Of the beehives contained
not honey but saccharine packed IN

the hats. On the ladies paying heavy
fine they we're allowed to continue the
journey minus the saccharine but re-
tanning their hats, which might have
been conflscated also. - London
